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.).

Netherlandsbeware no airco or fans while we were there, not necessary with the temperatures but check if its is very warm during your stay
perfect location inside park, Edwin the host picked you up and drives through the park and then we saw elephants, giraffes and lots of other wildlife, amazing. Edwin is extremely friendly and helps you with everything. Premises are great, and sufficient.

IrelandLeaving!
From start to finish we adored our stay in Camp Acacia. Edwin was fantastic and watching the game on the drive in and out was like a mini safari! We had the most wonderful, peaceful and enjoyable stay there. It’s a slice of heaven.

South AfricaCamp Acacia is one of my all time favourites. The fact that you can walk or drive on your own within the game reserve is an added plus. The view from the lodge is amazing. A big shout out to Edwin for being the perfect host at the lodge, albeit self-catering.

South AfricaThe chairs on the balcony by the lounge are rusty. One broke when my 54 year old mother-in-law sat on it, causing her to crash to the floor. Bathroom shower curtains are hanging on with rusty hooks. Taps are rusty in the bathroom. This is a 3*, so meets expectations, but a little bit of touch up and freshen up will do wonders. The double beds are a bit small.
Absolutely incredible and beyond expectations!! You have a whole mini-camp for yourself. Three individual bungalows, two braai areas, two sitting/lounge areas and a full kitchen/dining area, private pool area - all yours, all private, just you & the bush. Wonderful experience that is highly recommended. Edwin is fantastic and available if you need anything at all. Signal and wifi is decent to keep connected.

The view is spectacular. It is quite secluded and freedom to walk around in nature and take in the scenery

South AfricaI have previously stayed here and will do so again. The lodge is well maintained and kept clean by Edwin and his wife who are an amazing couple. As a self-catering lodge, everything one needs is there, you just need to bring your own food and refreshments. Highly recommended.
