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.).

South AfricaThe braai area is way too small for a large group of people. There should be a table next to braai while you braai and maybe a light. We used the LED light which helped.The one shower's water in Marula never heated up, so I had lukewarm showers 😐 The bedroom floor upstairs creaks alot with any movement, we struggled to sleep on the ground floor. There was also incessant dogs barking the whole night through during the 1st night of stay.
Daisy was very friendly. The villas were bigger then expected and we were impressed.

South AfricaI loved everything about Bush Villas, I planned to spice up the visit with golf only to find out that Hans Merensky is no longer operational. Bush Villas personnel must have this kind of information at their disposal.
Bush Villas is a superb place. Phalaborwa with Kruger National park is a dead place.

South AfricaThe dishes in the kitchen were dirty and had to be washed before use. There were spiderwebs in certain places. The bathrooms were not clean.
The location was perfect, only 1-2km from Phalaborwa Gate in the Kruger National Park. Staff was friendly and helpful. The Villa is huge and sleeps 8+ people - great for family getaways.

United StatesThere were some issues with the internet/electricity, but the staff was very prompt in resolving the problem.
The property is very close to the Kruger gate! The setup worked great for 7 people. The pool was right outside our door. The staff set up the game drives and we were picked up at the front gate. The entire trip was very easy and laid back.

IndiaSpecial Thanks to Ingrid for making our stay unforgettable. The communication (email, whatsapp) from the staff's guided us all the way. The accommodation had everything that was advertised and we didn't needed anything else for the stay. It was like home away from home. There were delays on our arrival and Ingrid was quick to support us and shared with us, the high risk places to avoid on our journey back because of protests. It was evident that they cared for us and would definitely recommend for families.
