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 AfricaWe liked and appreciated everything.
Absolutely every detail is taken care of. Luxury in a breath taking environment. Delicious food prepared with love by a dedicated chef. Wonderful selection of South African wines included. The rooms even have the special coffee maker with pods..such an unexpected detail. The staff are exceptionally friendly and highly trained..from the game guide to the personal butler. We would highly recommend this venue and hope to return for a visit in the very near future.

South AfricaThe place is beautiful. However, they need to do touch ups to the property, repainting is needed on the walls... so a bit of maintenance work is a MUST. The food didn't meet up to the 5 star level, very disappointing.
We had the most friendly and efficient butler, Sello, went the extra mile to ensure we had a memorable stay. Tyrone, our safari guide, is fantastic at his job, has great hosting skills, and guarantees a good laugh. We stayed by number 1, the views are out of this world, and we had the swing as an added

South AfricaI think the food at lodge could do with some improvement, very fancy named soups but it all seemed like was just "trying too hard", also not sure a mince and coleslaw between a bun made a great sloppy joe. I think the water system is from a septic tank so shower was fine but bath would not be as clear.
The location and views are simply fantastic and service from Patric was just exceptional. Btw book unit 1 if you want the swing chair!!

South AfricaSome of the staff need an update on their sense of humour and how maturely they interact with guests. Our butler was great; our game ranger wasn't great. Some lessons in deportment and decorum will serve management well.
The location was good. The room was nice, comfortable enough and well-appointed, although it does need some maintenance. The food was mostly good.
