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 AfricaWe loved the facilities, food and the service from the kitchen staff. The game drive with Ike from the lodge, was the highlight of our stay. He is very educated and informed us about all the plants and game on the farm. The chef was very capable and treated us with a proudly South African Cuisine

South AfricaI do not think the price of food and drink justifies what you pay for. I cannot pay R225 for a breakfast that is essentially yogurt with muesli and bacon with two eggs. The same with the price of dinner and drinks. Let me be clear, dinner was tasty but the money paid does not justify what you receive.
The staff were amazing. The setting is great with a warm atmosphere around the lodge.

South AfricaI found the bathroom a bit narrow and restrictive, especially when exiting the shower. The gravel road whilst it is graded periodically I can imagine that overtime depending on how often it is scrapped it could get a bit brutal especially on smaller sedan type vehicles.
I thoroughly enjoyed the remote location, yet was within easy reach of places I had to be for meetings. There are several types of accommodation ranging in price from rondavels to family units . The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, nicely furnished, warm, cosy, the bed was firm yet extremely comfortable as were the pillows. The linen, towels were crisp and fresh and the duvet light yet warm. The bathroom had piping hot water and the shower cubicle was a generous size. The meals of which I only had breakfast and dinner changed daily were 3 course delicious and plentiful.

South AfricaThere are no toiletries such as shower gel which I think should be provided as many of us want to travel a bit light and not lug around huge bottles of shower gel etc. Also it will be great if they have some snacks in the dining area so that we can relax, snack a bit and enjoy the scenery.
Our time at the magnificent Gamagara African Game Farm was simply delightful! The rooms provided us with utmost comfort and were flawlessly clean. I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Sue-Marie and Daniel, who went above and beyond to make our stay an absolute joy. Sue-Marie's captivating knowledge of the wildlife and flora enhanced our two mesmerizing game drives, while Daniel's impeccable hosting skills ensured that our every need was met. The entire staff were truly brilliant, and a special mention goes to the chef whose Rooibok potjie was nothing short of phenomenal. Rest assured, we will certainly return to this haven, and if you find yourself in the area or visiting Klein JAN, I wholeheartedly recommend making it your home away from home.

I would recommend the place to anyone looking for a weekend with amazing food, amazing wine and also high quality accommodation. My compliments to the chef for making some of the best food I have eaten on a weekend away. Could not have asked for a better place to get engaged.
