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.).

GermanyBreakfast and food in the restaurant were very good. The lodge has charm and we felt very comfortable. The Addo Elephant Park is only a few kilometres away. Safaris are also offered from the lodge. The lodge is highly recommended.

United KingdomBreakfast was tasty, and we decided first night to have dinner there. This too was tasty. It's not far from Addo Park or two nearby restaurants, but frankly the dinner at Chrislin was better value.

South AfricaWe received a warm welcome and a tour around the vast property. Our cute rondavel had everything we needed including aircon which is much appreciated in Summer. The property has a generator, so load shedding is not an issue. The beds are comfy. We were spoilt with yummy breakfast options and the highlight was the creative and changing dinner menu which appeared each morning. Guests pour over it to select their favourite option for dinner. It is a real bonus to have a such a high standard restaurant onsite. Compliments to the inhouse chef! We enjoyed a morning around the pool and met fellow guests. Lunches served to the larpa are a treat too.

NetherlandsThe big spider in our cabin (but that’s part of nature right ;)). Dinner and lunch were ok
The cabin was really nicely decorated. The staff was nice, and the lodge is located really close to Addo Park. Nice breakfast as well! On hot days there’s a pool to cool down!

South AfricaThere was a family with a young child that screamed a lot, and this was unpleasant for other patrons. I know you have no control over this but perhaps getting their meals out much quicker than you did would enable them to leave earlier and get their children to bed.
Breakfast and dinner meals were excellent. Presentation was awesome. We enjoyed sitting around the boma and stargazing. just a pity the rain spoilt other evenings sitting round the fire. Our room was comfortable and clean. The fan was a saver to keep us cool. The gardens were well kept with abundant bird life. The pool area is lovely.

They even made a breakfast package for our early selfdrive in addo elephant park. Advising beforehand a safe travel road to the accommodation was an example of good customer service.

NetherlandsDidn't expect to be in the middle of acres and acres of industrious orange/citrus plantations. Addo village is also a total disappointment. Is just a service centre for plantation workers. There is nothing there.
Right next to Addo NP. Lovely spacious orchard room, decorated in African style with very comfy bed, seating area and spacious bathroom. CrissCross full day Safari through Addo and Schotia was lovely, a nice day out and with a little luck you will get to see the lion pride in Schotia (we didn't).

GermanyWe had a great stay at Chrislin African Lodge. The stuff is very nice and we even got cake, cookies and siniging for my husbands birthday. And everybody was so nice with our kids. They even had a play area in the restaurant, and the playground on grass was loved, as well as the wonderful pool. The hut was very spacious and perfect for our family. To Addo Elefant Park it‘s a 15 min. drive. What we also loved… there‘s a supermarket not far away. We would definetely come again!
