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.).

SwitzerlandSouth African loadshedding was an issue. On booking.com nothing was written about it. Coming to a foreign country to sit in the dark in a big house with sculptures and masks with your kids for 3-4 hours is not a good experience.
A truly exceptional experience. The large, tastefull house and the veranda with direct view on the river — hippos, water bocks and birds — are wonderful. 5 Minutes from Malelane Gate, perfect! Thanks to Rose for the good cleaning.

United KingdomThe layout of the house was a bit strange , possibly as it was old and there may have been add ons..I.e the bbq area was miles from the kitchen. The house is a magnificent building , however it is a bit old and could do with some TLC. The pool was not very inviting, a bit dirty , and old . Even with the above , we had a lovely stay.
Bedroom and shower were lovely , with bedside sockets for phones. Good kitchen utensils and large fridge and freezer. The views to the river and Kruger Park were exceptional and we were visited by a lone Elephant each day

BelgiumWe didnt find the matrass very confortable to sleep on. It is a very very hard mattress so we couldnt sleep well and we woke up broken but of course what is not good for us it can be confortable for others. Breakfast was a bit poor, I was missing fruits.
The villa is huge and very nicely decorated (on the pictures on booking it looks a bit dark and old however we were very pleasantly surprised), location is perfect. We enjoyed our stay in this villa (except the mattress in the bedroom). I would sure recommend this lodge, you sure can get unforgetable experiences from the view to the other side of the river.

United Arab Emiratesnothing to complain about. Everything was great
After doing a trip to Kruger we stayed here for 3 days. The most frustrating part of a safari was being in the car all the time. The best part about this place was that you can sit outside and your pretty much in the park. We had elephants right in front of us as well as hippos and other animals. So it really gave me the experience I wanted. The decor isn't really to my taste but could be deemed traditional African and the outdoor space to sit and eat was great. Peter is a great host and certainly went above and beyond what was expected. Being in the south of the park it was great for Rhinos and some of the other hard-to-spot animals. Certainly worth staying here a few days during your trip.
