Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IsraelI never seen anything like this. We spent the best two nights in this lodge. Oryxes, birds, jackals walking around. Sunsets and sunrises with the vest views. Rooms are separate buildings, super clean, like new. Spacious. The stuff is great. Dinner is delicious. Truly amazing place!

All good. The only quality accommodation of which we were aware at Sossusvlei. Clean and comfy room, aircon stood up to very high heat, staff helpful, great buffet dinner, excellent breakfast, tastefully designed to afford views of the desert.

SwedenThe hotel is big and caters for group tourism, which means there are many people at the buffé in the evening and morning, not always a positive thing. Our aircon - although on max capacity - was barely able to cool our room to acceptable temperature. The fact that it was 44 degrees outside might be a factor.
We stayed in a nice, big room in the front row and had a lovely view of the desert from our window. A buffé dinner is included in the price for the room and the tables are set outside with the desert as closest neighbour and candles are lit as the dark approaches. We even had a jackal coming very close to our table - it had probably been fed by some thoughtless guests in the past. Good parking. The hotel is situated just by the main gate going to Sossusvlei and if you set off early in the morning, you do not have to spend a too long time in the queue for registration.

GermanyWe stayed for 3 nights in this place and we loved it. We just wanted to have a few days rest during Xmas time and this place was perfect: big rooms with absolutely all comfort necessary, nice pool area to relax and enjoy cold drinks, amazing buffet at dinner time with delicious grills but also plenty of salads and vegetables, very nice atmosphere overall, with helpful staff. right at the gate for the dunes, but just have in mind that it is not inside the park, nevertheless this was not an issue for us to be able to reach in time to climb Big Daddy and Dune 45

BelgiumWe spend Newyear's evening here. Since we were up from 5h to see the sunrise in Sossus, we could not stay awake until 00h. Maybe a small aperitif before diner was better option.
Perfect location to visit Sossusvlei. Close to the maingate. Diner was outside in beautiful surrounding. Good food, nice wines,... Sundowner was great!

GermanyInternet only works in the reception and bar are but if you’re doing vacation in Namibia you should know that this is common and prepare yourself to disconnect
I think they are the second best lodge in the Sossusvlei area, only behind the Dead Valley lodge which is inside of the national park. The last one is much more expensive and exclusive. For me, the advantage is that you can watch the sunset from dune 45. If you don’t really care about it don’t waste your money and just book Sossusvlei Lodge. They are 5 min away from the main gate, have amazing rooms and the greatest dinner buffet we had in Namibia.
