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.).

The game reserve is amazing and growing with more land and animals! We had two game rides that are unforgettable! Do not miss the chance to spend part of your holiday at the Garden Route Safari Camp!

United KingdomThis was by far the most wonderful experience we had in our three weeks in South Africa. Stephan and Unelle are totally lovely people with an amazing vision for their reserve. What they are building here is very special. We felt privileged to be a part of it for a short time. Stephan is incredibly knowledgeable about the ecology, flora and fauna and is a brilliant guide. The breakfasts were beautiful - all freshly baked and cooked, and great coffee!

GermanyWe had the best best best time at the Garden Route Safari Camp. The game drive experience we had was outstanding - thank you so much Jared for sharing your knowledge about the nature and animals!! Joining you for coffee and gin&tonics while watching lions and all the other animals was just so amazing!! Also again thanks for the recommendations for our further trip - really appreciated! The food, drinks and service were also really special, thanks so much to the whole team! Unelles wine recommendation totally hit the spot and we are still dreaming about the delicious drinks we had while we were watching "TV" and looking at Mr. Eland and the Ostriches :) Special thanks to Unelle and Stephan for the warm welcome and making us feel so VIP during our stay (and thanks Unelle for all the almond milk and being SO thoughtful :) ). There simply is nothing else that we could have wished for. We just met the most warm hearted and kind people. The only mistake we made was booking for only one night... Will definitely come back one day!! Lots of love and hugs for you all ❤️ Julia & Steffen

ThailandWe love staying with Garden Route Safari Camp. it’s a wonderful escape from the chaos and surround yourself with the nature. Hence, the place is not too far and it’s so convenient for the travelers whom have the plan to drive along the garden route. We are very happy with the room’s decorations and the mountains view. They pay attention to all the details and it worths spending time here. The service is great. All the staffs are attentive. Unelle, Stephan and the family are very warm. Their hospitality is exceptional.

One of the best places around the world you can stay if you love nature, high quality service, delicious food and comfort. We were treated like the kings. Everybody including the owners, Jared - our safari guide, chef, and all staff is extremely friendly, customer oriented, knowledgeable, and does the best to provide you the first class experience no matter what. We were amazed by our luxury tent, design of main lobby, friendliness, attention to every detail, individual approach, healthy animals, and the quality of service.

South AfricaCant think of anything. we got what we expected
The isolation and been away from the busy life of the city. The fact that there is no TV or Internet in the bungalows is amazing. if you want to get away from city life this is the way. Staff are super nice, helpful and just go above and beyond to make you stay that much more special. I loved the outdoor shower and the sound of the lions roaring through the night was great. Not loud enough to keep you awake. Even though it was hot having the pool and the ceiling fans to keep you cool was more then enough. Its a very special place for us now and we cant wait to go back again.

United KingdomIt’s difficult to write a succinct review about how wonderful this Lodge is. So I’ll just say that my wife and I have been travelling for eight months and this is probably the best couple of days we’ve had in one place. The people are incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms are beautiful and well-appointed, the food is sumptuous and the game drives are breathtaking. Thank you Stephan, Unelle, Jared et al.
