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 TV in the room had a very weak reception and despite request to rectify they could not fix it.
The location close to the Phalaborwa gate to the KNP is superb. The restaurant and the meals were exceptional. The service was particularly friendly and helpful.

ReunionRegarding the service, we had waited really long to receive our dishes, it’s a comment that came back often but it’s true, only we forgive them because it’s really good. Regarding breakfast there was not much sweet, no pancakes for example and the juices were not fresh, we would have preferred oranges squeezed in the morning rather than industrial juices.
Everything, frankly the staff is great, the food is REALLY good. Breakfast is in the form of a menu and you can very well choose what you wanted. The waiters are really great.

United KingdomSome of the wood work needs attention. - especially the roof and decking but that in no way detracts from a great hotel.
Location is perfect for exploring the Kruger NP. Well trained and very friendly staff. Good restaurant and bar and a pleasant pool area for guests only. Secure parking

South AfricaThe pool needs work - just a bit of routine maintenance. Algae on the side and needs to be resurfaced. Given the hot climate in the area - the pool is a great asset.
The room setup for a family was perfect and very comfortable. The rooms were clean and the restaurant is obviously the highlight - best restaurant in Phalaborwa and perfect gateway to the Kruger.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I had a special request as I was surprising my partner for our one year anniversary, they went above and beyond what I expected. It definitely made us feel so special. The room was big and spacious and so was the bathroom, the bath was able to fit us both so perfectly (I'm on the curvy side). The food was amazing, even got a complimentary dessert. It was all just so perfect. Thank you again to the staff!!
