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.).

Everything, I can't mention only one thing. From the drive from the gate, the welcome from Lorraine at reception, the boat cruise, the knowledge and supper care of our guide. It all added up to a supper stay.

South AfricaThe only thing we weren't aware of before arriving was that there are no self-drives allowed in the reserve, so unless you have booked a boat trip or a game drive, you cannot see any of the game in the park, AND there is then an additional cost to these activities which you may not have prepared for.
This Africamp is beautiful with a fantastic view of Jozini dam. the tents are clean, and beautifully decorated for every comfort, and the hot tub....Definte glamping! We went in January and the park was full of baby animals everywhere, not to mention the Nyala herd in the camp.

South AfricaAlthough we enjoyed it, I don't believe that the game drive is value for money.
Just absolutely loved being in the middle of the quiet and serene nature. The hot tub is always a great spot to relax and enjoy a glass of wine.

South AfricaThe road from Jhb to Africamps is in real bad shape and 100"s of trucks use the road from Middelburg to Richardsbay. Not a relaxing drive.
Location is excellent. Views for ever. Wild life in and around the camping area is awesome.

United KingdomWe started seeing giraffe, zebra & buck as soon as we drove through the gate which was amazing. The tent was such a different experience than staying in standard accommodation. We loved the animals coming right up to the deck. It was very comfortable, clean and overall an amazing stay. We will be back as well as want to try the other Africamp destinations!

It was the ultimate glamping experience. Surrounded by sounds of nature and having the different animals come to you was the highlight. We almost never had to leave our private area, pure bliss. Kudu, warthogs, impala and bucks, rabbits etc. Just walking freely for you to engage with. The boat cruise gave us 3 of the big 5 experience, a must do. Definitely will go back.

South AfricaThe road from N2 is gravel and quite a distance, need to bring bigger car for it. The road is maintained but would not use a small car. Breakfast packages to be accessible online for budgeting purposes. If possible if they can improve and allow an overnight order for these packages incase one changes their mind.
Its in the game reserve, surrounded by nature and wild animal. Awesome experience. The kids loved it. Clean, though tented accommodation it had everything you need. Game interaction begins when you leave N2. The shop great idea. Will order their breakfast next time

South AfricaThe tent has black mold on the inside and lost of spiderwebs collecting dust. The insects were very bad at night esp being drawn to the light. They could offer mozzie nets over the beds as we had plenty insects sleeping with us at night. The wooden deck needs some TLC or treatment and the little shop could have a bit more to offer, esp when the nearest town is 50km away. There is no privacy, so you can hear and see everything from the next tent. It would of been nice if there was some kind of bush or wall in between us esp for those who wants to wear a bathing suite in the hot tub, but feel like someone might see all your imperfections. I still had an amazing time, just relaxing and connecting with nature. Still one of the best places I went to in a long time.
I loved the friendly staff and the little shop was simple and woked on a trust system. I loved the hot tub and the nature. Esp the nyalas coming right up to the deck. The bathrooms are clean and the kitchen is cute.

South AfricaPool needs cleaning, has some algae at the bottom. Light on the porch should be moved, attracts to much bugs(can't keep it off as it's the only outside light)
