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.).

Listen, if you want to escape the fast and noisy urban life ,a review in writting does not do this place any justice,i say find your way to the lodge and let mother nature and the hosts especialy the ever smiling informative Natassia and story telling, free spirited Geyser get you settled in.The proximity to the Park gate, the view from our room to the food,exquisite!!!

The location right on the banks of the Crocodile River, the boundary of the property is the boundary of the Kruger National Park so we could watch animals from our veranda. Crocodile Gate was two minutes away. Our tent was extremely comfortable and added to the Safari experience. The food was delicious. But most of all the staff and our hosts could not have done more to make us feel so welcome.

Both the hosts and owner were very welcoming and the location of the property is excellent both to view game in and across the river as well as for access to the Kruger National Park. Both our evening meal and breakfast were excellent. The lodge represents excellent value for money.

AustraliaAccess to the lodge was a bit difficult as you have to phone or Whatsapp for entry (which is a bit of a problem if you don't have signal, roaming or WIFI access). I suggest an intercom system would be useful. But this didn't detract from the overall experience.
The lodge is conveniently place close to entry to the Kruger National Park. The views of the Crocodile River are magical, and you can experience wildlife right from the viewing deck (elephants came right up to the fence). The food was excellent and breakfast packs are available if you want to enter the park early. The safari tents were outstanding. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

The hosts are amazing and you can feel and tell they love to make their guests feel at home. The location is perfect, next to the crocodile gate of the Kruger Park. This makes it really easy to go in and out. If you need anything, Allen and Melanie and the rest of the staff are there to help you. The food was delicious every day and if you go on safari early in the morning, they pack you a lunch which you can take with you. What made the location extra special, is the elephants walking on the river in front of the lodge. We were lucky to see them every day. We will definitely go back here and wouldn’t change anything!

Stunning lodge on the banks of the river, overlooking the park. The rooms are even nicer than the pictures…. Great view, spacious and beautifully decorated. Dinners, shared with the other guests, were delicious. The breakfast packs provided for those wanting to make an early start were equally as good. The hosts were extremely welcoming and we learnt so much from them. Their knowledge on insects was especially fascinating . We look forward to returning in the near future.
