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 AfricaThere is nothing not to like!
We so enjoyed our two days stay at this little lodge. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the meals presented were very tasty. They packed us a delicious picnic breakfast for when we went into the main park. The rooms are tastefully decorated, and the beds were very comfortable. A bonus is the game drives offered from the lodge, where an abundance of game was spotted.

BelgiumWas very calm at the time we were there - not a bad thing but maybe to consider for some people
Staff is very friendly and is what made our stay so special. Sofisso (hope I wrote it correctly) was very knowledgeable about the wildlife when we went on the game drives. Nice views from te central area and very good food. As we went to a national park very early, they made us a breakfast basket to take with us. Room and facilities were great as well, no issues. Our car got cleaned before we would leave. All in all a very great experience and I would recommend this Lodge 100%!

GermanyBeautifully designed place, lovely terrace, pool area, pretty rooms. Great staff throughout. The game drive was special, too, and the Ranger was a nice guy, very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. We enjoyed our drive with him very much. Food was also really, really good. Even the breakfast packs (which are usually a bit of a let-down compared to the normal on-site breakfast) were way better than at other accommodations. Great place!

United KingdomVegetarian food could have been better, given how amazing the meat options looked.
Amazing location, exceptional staff who went out of their way to ensure we had the best stay. Perfect base to go and explore different game reserves and areas. We went on a few game drives within Duiker Lodge which were great, and they organised drinks and snacks for us. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and cleaned by staff every day. Beautiful views out over the countryside.

CanadaAlthough it was no fault of there own, we had really poor weather, so the game drives were shortened. They did there very best, but unfortunately we didn't get to see as many animals that we would have liked.
The staff were excellent and made our stay very comfortable, regardless of the weather. The food was good for both the breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed the stay.

United KingdomThe swimming pool is very small - just a plunge pool.
Duikker Game Lodge is part of a 400 hectare estate with beautiful views of the surrounding hills and countryside. The game drives on the estate were great - there is a higher density of animals than in the bigger national parks. And since there are only 6 rooms, you might well be the only guests on the drive. Its a wonderfully peaceful place to stay and the sounds of Africa in the evening are wonderful.
