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 ladies at reception didn't disclose all information about our stay. For example had we not enquired about the activities, we were not going to know we were credited for the game drive. The fridge in our property was too noisy.
We liked the fact that it's child friendly and the freedom to move around other facilities at bushtime mabula. We enjoyed the teatime at Modjadji as well as the bring and braai. It is quite a great initiative to bring guest together to have a great time.

South AfricaAbsolutely nothing.
We had a superb experience at BushTime. The staff, without exception, were welcoming, friendly, helpful and professional. Thabo, who did our morning bush drive, was unbelievably good at his job. His passion for animals, nature and people shines through but he had a special way about him.. Our unit was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. It had everything we needed, even USB plug points.we lacked for nothing.. We loved our relaxing stay and will definitely be back.

United KingdomI had to notify staff during our second night staying that no one came to clean the first day after check in on the Sunday. The unit kitchen zink cupboard had wet mouldy smell. The alarm that needs to be set at units.
Breakfast Buffet at the Main lodge was exceptional. The chalet is perfect for two persons. The swimming pools are beautiful. Loved the Modjadji Monday night braai and pap made by Rosina. Had two great game drives and although we didn't see many animals we enjoyed being in the bush. The stars at night are just incredible.

South AfricaWe could have had a bit more info on the game drives. That the lions visiting drive is separate etc.. for people that cannot braai due to rain or make food at the chalet due to load shedding, you should have a separate cheaper alternative for ordering food.. although we had a fabulous weekend and enjoyed the supper and breakfast at the restaurant.. it was really good food and great service.. thx.. the one game drive that we went on was wonderful, enyjoyed it alot, thank you. Very informative and a the game rangers are very good at what they do
The friendlyness of the staff.. very inviting.. private and cosy and peaceful.. what we needed..
