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.).

GermanyWhile the room provides all the essentials, infusing it with more vibrant colors and a touch of warmth in the interior would elevate the experience. Occasionally, it felt a bit clinical, and a cozier ambiance would add a delightful touch to the space.
The Game Lodge owes much of its excellence to Chris, an exceptional host and manager. His dedication to ensuring your stay is as comfortable as possible truly sets the tone. The Game Drive left a lasting impression, and the three-course dinner was exceptionally delicious. Grateful for the experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

I would stay there for the dinner alone. I unfortunately didn't do breakfast but will believe that breakfast is also amazing. Very nice trial for a short walk.

Breakfast was excellent. It more than met our expectations, and more than enough to fill us. The facilities were excellent and very clean. The Game drive was fun with Chris who had a large amount of knowledge about the area as well as all the animals on the land. Chris made us feel right at home. He was very friendly and at our beck and call all the time.

Fijnbosch Game Lodge far exceeded our expectations. Chris was in contact with me before we arrived to ensure that we were sorted for directions, arrival time etc. He is the most amazing host - thoughtful, kind and nothing was too much trouble. The facilities are magnificent, and the rooms and bathrooms are huge and extremely comfortable. Chris offered us a game drive on the morning that we left and this was an unforgettable experience as a giraffe had just been born two days earlier. Finjnbosch offers an authentic experience which I cannot recommend highly enough.
