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.).

- you can see elephants and other animals from the balcony - great prices on the spa - they arrange good safaris and cars to take you to the crocodile gate - good prices for meals

South AfricaThe fridge in the room was way too small, especially the freezer part. We wanted to "braai" for ourselves in the evenings so we brought our meat and other food with us. Unfortunately some of it went bad and we had to waste it because we couldn't freeze it and the fridge was too small to fit everything. We also therefore couldn't store our own ice as we'd like but could however any time get ice from the staff members which was great. The kitchenette could use some more items such as steak knives, more bowls and bigger drinking glasses.
It was very clean and the staff was very helpful. We loved the view from the deck. The breakfast was excellent. It was very convenient that the lodge has a generator so we didn't even check load shedding schedules. The lodge has a wonderful, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. We never felt bothered by staff or other guests. The tables on the deck is wonderful for relaxing and gazing over the river. Overall a great experience.

United StatesThe restaurant availability and the staff in the restaurant are not as welcoming as the rest of the Bucklers staff.
Bucklers is a lovely place to stay for trips into Kruger park. The only problem is the restaurant and the staff there. It would be helpful if guests who are staying on property you would confirm dining as it's not very welcoming when you show up for dinner and are told there are no tables available. The food is better than the first stay a few months ago but we did miss having the set menu to choose from. The staff in the spa are very friendly.
