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.).

United StatesSigns leading up to the camp were a bit rough and needing repainting.
Loved everything about our stay. Unfenced camp, spacious and comfortable fixed tent overlooking the waterhole, genuinely friendly and engaging owner, the best tracker guide we have had in 25 visits to the continent, and fabulous food. I would go back in an instant.

United KingdomThe camp is quite basic (off the grid etc) which for some maybe part of its charm. Despite this it was the most expensive lodge we stayed at, presumably due to its location within greater Kruger NP.
The camp is unfenced which creates a different atmosphere. Meals are communal around a large table which we enjoyed. Plenty of food but bring your own alcoholic drinks. Game viewing is excellent here, the private reserve is part of the greater Kruger NP and the guide (Bexon) got us close to the action.

AustraliaWhile the safaris are great for seeing up close all the animals, the guide is hard to hear particularly up the back of the truck. Just ask him to answer your questions as he is very knowledgable.
The food was very good. This is a simple camp where going out on safari and meeting for meals is the rhythm of the day.

New ZealandFelt the place was tired, with deferred maintenance on buildings - run down to the extent that we wondered if we were in the right place on arrival! We were in for only one night which may not have helped, but our welcome was underwhelming and we had very little interaction or information from the hosts. We were never even introduced to Dudley but perhaps the welcome was impacted by a larger group who were in the camp. My bed was foam rubber and not comfortable.
The location and unfenced nature of the reserve made interactions with game and the surrounds special and unique. The open vehicle and two game drives were great - we had our own personal guide who worked hard and got us some amazing sightings and interactions. Food was pretty good and plentiful

GermanyThe main camp is very outdated and offers no places to hang out during the heat in between the activities. It is absolutely not a luxury place and more an authentic safari feel
Great camp for game drives with delicious food. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is amazing with the other guests. The game drives are absolutely the best you are going to do on the greater Kruger, guide is very experienced and entertaining.
