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.).

Paul was our host and he was MOST accommodating. We really enjoyed him as well as the other hard working staff. The facility would be better if they offered WiFi and a bar. Maybe a little more attention to cleanliness.

GermanyBwindi Forest Lodge is conviniently located within 5 minutes walking distance to the UWA Infocenter from where you start your Gorilla Tracking. Paul and his team are very helpful in every aspect, the best service you can imagine. Paul went out of his way to get the latest infos for road conditions and which route is best to take for us as self drivers. Food was delicious and plentyful. The hot shower after a long track was such a relief. We highly recommend Bwindi Forest Lodge!

United StatesWi-Fi left much to be desired. The power goes out frequently in Buhoma which of course shuts down their Wi-Fi.
Our host was exceptional. He took care of all our needs. Although we did not book our gorilla Trek through this lodge, our host escorted us to the meeting area and stayed with us until we began our trek. The gate to the park was just down the hill. The food was wonderful. The soups were hearty and the homemade breads were delicious. Our room was adequate and comfortable. The covered sitting area outside the room had a nice view and was most comfortable.

EstoniaQuiet place in the middle of the village. Although in the evenings we heard local music and drum sounds was the place quite quiet and sounds were enjoyable. We could take sunbath on the grass in private place after gorilla trecking. Three-course dinners and breakfast were good. The best soups I ate in Uganda! The staff were very helpful.

SpainThe lodge is really nice but the hot water and wifi were not working most of the time and there were power cut (at least they have solar panel to have the basic light). The staff is really nice and the food was delicious however is overpriced. 12$ for a dinner without meet, it is a totally SCAM (it is not buffet). We paid one night because there was not other options but you can find on the main road super nice, clean and cheap local restaurants. The day we went to see the Gorilla, we arrange the breakfast at 7 and we were waiting to have everything almost half hour. So we end it up rushing to finish and run to the Gorilla trekking.
location is perfect and the staff was really helpful. They indicated us how to proceed with the permits and take care of us before and during our stay.

CanadaThe electricity would come off and on, they do have a generator so they can turn it on if necessary but it always came back on pretty quickly. I wish there were more hook and cost hangers but we made due.
The location is perfect if you've booked the Buhoma gorilla trek, it's a 3 min walk from the lodge to the gate and meeting point.

South KoreaIt is noisy from side to side because it is in the center of the village. The barber shop across plays music all day. But it's quiet at night. We liked this accommodation, but we couldn't overcome the noise and had to leave. And the water smells a little. No wifi..
There are surprisingly friendly staffs and the best chef in bwindi. His cooking was so delicious that we wanted to stay longer. He does every request smoothly and perfectly.
