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 AfricaThe pillows need replacing, and a complimentary body wash would be preferable to a shampoo. You have to accept that you are in nature, so there are a few occasional uninvited guests, but that is par for the course. All in all, we loved our stay.
The staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. The facilities are immaculate, and the scenery is beyond beautiful. Great value for money for a family of four, the bungalo is spacious and very clean.

NetherlandsThere was nothing that I did not like. At first I thought a few benches along the river just to sit and relax would be nice, but if the river overflows, then they would be gone again, so it is understandable
Our stay was fantastic! The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a cottage close to the water, and just sitting there, listening to the birds and the water was really lovely

South AfricaExcellent staff led by Patrick. Walking, running & cycling on the property gave great views of Eland, Hartebeest, Kudu, Impala, Waterbuck, Ostrich & Vervet Monkeys. Bring your tree book. The lawn is beautifully kept and well shaded by tall trees, the flowering aloes attractive, the river frontage impressive, nice pool. Breakfast was a feast. Read up on the Vredefort Dome before you arrive - the hills around are 2 billion years old!

South AfricaWe booked a room with 4 single beds. What isn't clear during the booking process is that 2 of the beds are in a separate bedroom, however the other 2 beds are in the lounge. It's not terrible, but would have been nice to know this upfront. It would be nice to have access to WiFi, especially since there is only cellphone reception from Vodacom at the property.
It is a beautiful property right on the banks of the Vaal River. It is very well maintained.

South AfricaNo proper interaction with staff or management. No proper welcoming. We did not receive any information on arrival. We felt unwelcome and like a burden to the lodge. Breakfast was just delivered the previous night, with no explanation. There were bats in the room. The microwave did not work. The geyser was leaking, and has been leaking for some time already.
The location next to the river is stunning. The lodge is also very beautiful. It nice and quiet. I enjoyed the breakfast.

South AfricaUpkeep of the unit, especially the cleanliness in the bathroom. Being pedantic, more staff training and supervision is required, to "consider what the guest will experience".
Breakfast was amazing and most delicious, and way too much for one person. Location was fantastic, with peace and quiet in the bush and on the river. No disturbance during the week. Overall the resort was very clean and tidy, and very well maintained. Management was especially very friendly and accommodating!
