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.).

United StatesIt’s a bit pricey. Additional to it you also have to pay separately for all safaris they offer. The timing of them are a bit difficult to accommodate if you are not staying for seral days.
Great property, amazing and spacious room and bathroom, and additional privet external areas, with shower and a nice balcony with a view! The restaurant is great, breakfast and dinner options, and drinks available. Staff as usual excellent with also very nice common areas.

GermanyUnforgettable experience! The dream room, beautiful estate, exceptional food and service and unforgettable safari experiences in Addo and Schotia. We had one of the rooms that offer fantastic views, a lot of privacy and a private plunge pool. This was perfect for a couples vacation. Every evening, we had a delicious 4 course menu that was served very promptly. We could choose our wine from their cellar or order other drinks. Breakfast was very good and fulfilling as well. The airport transfer and safari organisations were all managed very well. Thank you to the owner and the staff - especially the chef!

GermanyI encountered a boomslang snake on our balcony! It quickly slithered away on the nearby tree but I was shook! But that is always the risk when you are in the wild I guess. Snakes would often just run away from you. Just keep an eye on your surroundings.
Breakfast was exceptional. If you have breakfast early enough you will get to see a „bird show“ where they put out the food and sooo many colorfull birds come to feed! It was so special! We had 2 dinners here and both were soo good.

South AfricaWe asked in advance for non-alcoholic ciders to be available as my wife is pregnant. However they did not have. Ryan managed to make my wife a passion fruit and lemonade and added some garnishes to make it look like a Cocktail. Thanks Ryan
