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 bed left much to be desired. We had two single beds with wooden bases, and the worn out sponge/mattress made sleeping very uncomfortable.
The ambiance was serene and tranquil, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere that was truly calming. The venue is situated conveniently close to town and other attractions. It provided all the amenities we required, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout our stay. The entire area was kept clean and tidy all the time.

United KingdomVery kind and welcoming staff. Rooms cleaned daily and the food is good. The place itself is really lovely and the barbecue not to be missed. Sitting around the fire talking to other guests was a great experience. The grounds around are really beautiful and the zebra and giraffe an excellent bonus.

South AfricaNothing to fault we stayed mid week so not to busy which was great . It would be nice to have an info booklet in the cabins about area facilities, places of interest and extras the lodge supplies. Alicia was most helpful but having tariffs etc and recommendations would be great to browse through and helpful to visitors domestic and foreign.
Beautiful bush setting in a very well maintained park . Comfortable cabin which was clean and tidy and serviced daily by inconspicuous staff. Nice central accommodation to the national game reserves and an easy drive to Sodwana and Lake St Lucia.

South AfricaRan out of filter coffee at breakfast. Made me really angry because coffee is what I look forward to to in the morning. Nobody told me that lunches could be made for the day trips. Only realised when I asked why others get a meal.
We loved the friendly staff. Love that I could have a morning run on the property and see giraffe, zebra and buck.

GermanyGoogle maps (and also address) shows completely different location. The actual lodge is 11 km outside Hluhluwe. Beware of food if there is only a few guests. It is not eatable! Better to go to KFC in Hluhluwe.
The lodge is placed in the mid of bush fortest, surrounded by nature. The games organised by lodge (with Wiseman) are worth every penny. The knowledge of nature of this guide is incredible and despite the bad weather he did absolutely everything to make the games as interesting as possible!

South AfricaFirstly we encounented challenges with the receptionist lady by the name of Alicia. Her atittude was pathetic she did not treat us as guest, she is not supposed to the front staff of such an important, beautiful establishment. As for Mandla and Boni, they are the assets to this business. Respect, hospitality are in their gins. Thank you guys for your most welcoming expiriance. Just because of you, we will visit again, Thanks you.
