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 AfricaI know they are busy renovating the balcony roofs. But when it started to rain the whole balcony was under water. But we did not mind because it was too cold to stay outside. I was just thinking not to put any persons in unit 107 until it was not fixed.
Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff was friendly and helpful. The unit was clean, enough blankets and towels etc. Loved the fireplace and cosines.

South AfricaMost of the units we've stayed in need some minor repairs, but they're always improving stuff. The last unit had a brand new roof on the veranda.
The location, the wildlife, the quiet vibe, it's always an awesome experience.

The place is easily accessible. We did not eat breakfast from the restaurant. We opted to cooking food in our unit because it is a self-catering unit. Oh, they have gas stove incase of load sheading

South AfricaVery welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and mostly the views from all rooms, spectacular. Seeing the wild life roaming around was an absolute treat. Special mention to Lefera Restaurant and Jandre made our 21st wedding anniversary extra special. Thank you to the staff at the resort and the restaurant. Hope to see you soon.

United KingdomWe had booked as a party of four requiring three rooms and were initially put in accommodation that required a car to get between the two locations. This was remedied when we arrived, but if booking make sure that it is understood that you are catering as a group and need to be close.
Crystal Springs covers a very large area and is well maintained with a lot of outdoor facilities and in a spectacular location with a wonderful view from the lodges/apartments. The actually accommodation was very well equipped and comfortable and easy to self cater. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

South AfricaThe monkeys 😂, the long checklist was like writing a test.
The room layout and peaceful environment just being next to nature seeing the wildlife so close, I'm so glad it was just bucks and not lions😂🫣. The spa therapist could improve on the massage techniques (pressure - like asking if it's as required) but overall it was good.

South AfricaUnit 132 steep steps to entrance where the handrail is too thick to grip. Our timing with regard to the weather. The silver wattle seems to be spreading particularly in the steam beds. The fact that the black wattle and eucalyptus plantations do not appear to be managed on a silviculture and profit basis. The spread of exotic and declared noxious weeds into the natural areas.
Enjoyed the meals, liked the scenery, enjoyed game sightings.

South AfricaThe connecting rd from the main rd to the gate is not good, it must be paved. The restaurant service was not up to standard, they seemed to be under staffed and we had to wait for up to an hour for an order. Try to introduce buffet when you envisage lots of guests. However the Manager was really on his feet to ensure customer care.
I enjoyed the games like Bingo, the location of the lodge is excellent. The spa is top of the range, with highly trained staff, they're on top of their game

United KingdomCheck list was a bind! but prosumably required
nice location, balcony was nice. Zebras on the grass. As we only stayed 1 night we didn't use pool but it looked nice. Restaurant was good with a good menu, staff very friendly. There was an extensive list of room content which ranged from the pictures on the wall down to knives and forks which had to be returned to reception with 2 hours of arrival. which we thought went abit too far I couldn't see why pictures and curtains etc would need to be included but then again maybe other guests had removed said items. On check out, reception couldn't refund the room deposit until the room had been checked by staff to ensure everything was still in situ.
