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 was not much to do at lodge. Maybe upgrade on the facilities such as a having a pool. The shops are far distance and their bar is limited. No ice for sale... The lodge has potential.
This was a lovely place to stay if you want to just sit back and relax...staff was really accommodating and friendly.

South AfricaDirections are not clear and getting to the place is a mission and a half. Directions on GPS lead you to drive straight into the dam but staff was very helpful and provided directions after contacting them. GPS location and direction should be updated online or a direction manual should be sent to clients. We were also promised transport services when checking out by a staff member but that didn't happen and had to find our own way home, which was disappointing. Wouldn't recommend this place unless you have your own vehicle preferably a 4x4 so the bad roads aren't an issue for you.
Scenery was beautiful and location is beautiful.

South Africathe road leading up to the entrance was extremely bad .there is not really activities you can do .we really would have enjoyed going out on the dam, I would suggest they invest in the paddle boats. there are no shops near by so its hard to top up on anything that may run out .and there is no microwave in the cabins.
The staff was extremely accomodating , they had no issue helping us with whatever they could .the cabins were clean and everything worked well . I would go again and stay even longer

South AfricaThe roads to the property was not ideal. We fortunately had a 2x4, not sure reaching the property with a normal car would be as easy. The property was in a rural area and in some places traffic getting to the property was very congested. You need to make sure you have all your food and drinks before you go into the area as there are no shops nearby
The view was amazing and very beautiful. We really enjoyed the bird life. The staff were supper friendly and accommodating. Facilities were clean and well laid out. We did not miss the lack of TV at all. We would definitely go back if access was easier

South AfricaBefore I left I specificly ask- could a normal car get there. The response was yes. We managed to get into the parking but the roads aren't build for normal cars. We struggled every day to get to our parking. Yesterday the roof started leaking. It was a small leak next to the main circuit box. We had two broken floor tiles in the bathroom. My suggestion is to work on the road to the accommodation and to keep the maintenance up. It's a stunning place but the things mentioned above needs serious attention.
The view was stunning. The staff was amazing.

South AfricaA microwave could have been useful. The birds overhead were very noisy, but only two cabins have overhanging trees. The neighbours in the surrounding area were loud but this was a once-off occurrence. The area is not enclosed alongside the dam, so you have to leave the property for a 1 min walk to the dam.
The view from the cabin was beautiful and the newer cabins will have an even better view with the large sliding doors. The cabin was clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly. The common area was great for relaxing. Our small 2-wheel drive car managed despite the rain and mud, but a 4x4 would be better.
