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.).

FranceThe inconvenience of being asked to bring cash for payments on the same very day we were traveling to the Lodge! Hopefully the card payment system is back on again.
Great location, superb outlook over the Albert Nile and great facilities. Certainly great value for money spent. However such an inconvenience to be asked to bring cash for payment especially when one is traveling from out of the country. It is not only an inconvenience to the clients but also to the business and without card payment we are then limited on how much we spend at the premises. Hopefully this will not be the case next time as we do plan on visiting the Park again and staying at Fort Murchison while there. And hopefully the road leading to the lodge will have been repaired by then. Otherwise thanks for a wonderful experience and kudos to the staff, especially Herbert the manager is doing a great job with his team.

GermanyFort Murchison Lodge is a perfect place to start your explorations of the National Park, as well as to relax and recover after strenuous game drives. A spacious pool area makes you forget all the heat and the huge garden with a view over Albert Nile is just wonderful. The rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped. The helpful stuff is just amazing and they read every wish from your lips. Last but not least to mention is the excellent food! We enjoyed our stay the fullest!

UgandaPaying by card leads to additional charges for the guest.
The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the chefs are really good. Vegetarian food is also available. The grounds are beautiful with magnificent views over the Nile.

Belgium- No free drinkable water, they give you water bottles but don't tell you you have to pay for them. - Reception often not staffed. We could not drop the key and as a consequence our room was not cleaned. They said that they only have 1 key from the room - Menu of the restaurant not displayed, no prices were communicated upfront. - Swimming pool not clean - Payment can only be made in cash according to the staff but we had chatted via Booking.com with somebody and a bank transfer was possible. Staff kept saying this isn't the case. - Long bumpy road leading to the lodge with almost no signage.
- Driver could sleep for free - The view - big room - comfortable bed with mosquito net and fan.
