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 AfricaSome items were not quite up to standard - small things like toilet paper and soap quality. Also, noise travels easily and we could hear everyone getting ready for breakfast in the early hours of the morning.
Found in the heart of Dinokeng, great location, very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable

South AfricaThey use horrible cheap toilet paper and I know its for the sceptic tank, but I know for a fact you can do better. Also the WIFI not too great. And when the host warns you about the thin walls - She means it
The place was situated perfectly. The staff were so welcoming. It was clean and beautiful. The breakfast was perfect! The service was just really good.

South AfricaThe room is advertised to have air conditioning but the aircon is turned off by the venue management from 9:30pm to 6:00am which make it completely useless! The whole idea is to sleep in a cool and comfortable room, as one is most likely going to be out during the day. The windows open up on the closed up patio so there is no ventilation, the ceiling fan is not effective. As a result we had an extremely uncomfortable night and did not sleep well at all. This might be a good place to stay in winter but I won't book here again in summer. I would strongly that the venue increase the size of their backup inverter system to handle the load of aircons running during the night or to find a workaround for the problem, this area is way too hot to not have working air conditioners during night time especially in rooms with no proper ventilation.

It’s a very beautiful and well maintained guesthouse. Location is perfect to explore the Dinokeng Reserve with guided tours or self-drive. There is a lot of greenery on the territory of the guesthouse and a nice pool+barbecue area. The staff is very helpful, I have really appreciated that they sent a lot of suggestions and recommendations about our stay in advance. Because of the load-shedding stage at that moment, the AC didn’t work the whole night. First we were worried about that because we arrived just in the middle of the heatwave, but it was actually alright, we slept well, because the fan was enough and nights get fresh. There was an issue with the fan in our room when we arrived, but fortunately the staff quickly found a solution for us. Also, delicious breakfast with generous portions. And a nice beautiful cat lives there.

FOREVA WILD was a very pleasant surprise, especially the stoep that was part of the room. We had a lovely view and saw wild animals from the comfort of comfortable chairs. The staff are excellent and the breakfast the time that we want to eat. The owner is a lovely woman and tend to our needs. There are a swimming pool and playground for the kids. It is safe and beautiful maintained. They wil see us soon!

South AfricaWe had a superb experience at the accommodation, especially because of a very friendly owner. Despite our failure to prearrange any details with the owner due to a hectic week, they still managed to coordinated a packed weekend itinerary, including game drives and a bush walk.
