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.).

A true definition of “living with nature”. A beautiful, quiet, clean lodge with very pleasant hosts and staff. We had an amazing time celebrating my husband’s birthday- with the lodge arranging a private game drive and a romantic candlelight dinner for us!!

Everything. This place is amazing. The owner, management, and staff were all outstanding. The room we stayed in was meticulous. The food was delicious. What stood out for me were all the little details - the decorations, the food presentation, the table decorations. What a treat this place was!

Czech RepublicThe bathroom was a bit outdated and the drain in the shower was slow and water pooled in the shower.
The Lodge was very cozy. The biggest plus was the staff, they called us to make sure we are still coming and to confirm the time and waited for us since we were arriving slightly late. They made sure we had some light food, since we were too exhausted to go out for dinner that night.

We had a wonderful stay at Riverside Lodge. Westline and Pieter go way beyond regular hosting with their special care and attention. The staff is perceptive and very polite, accommodating any requests. Freshly cooked breakfast is sumptuous and leaves nothing to wish for. A tasty three course dinner option is available upon request and it was interesting to share the table with other international guests. Wine is included. The room with ensuite bathroom was large and well appointed. A highlight were the free roaming animals (silky monkeys, warthogs, kudus, zebras, mongoose, impala etc) visiting regularly the lodge garden looking for food. The crocodile river is just a few meters away where elephant, hippo and crocodile spotting is exciting and well rewarded. Any bird enthusiast would love that place. To top the service our car was even washed down on the day we left. Highly recommended Lodge.

United StatesIt was a peaceful and quiet retreat! The staff were super helpful. The food was great! They treated us so well. The room was spacious and clean. Feeding the Kudu in the backyard was a highlight. Since our full day safari was at 5:00, the staff woke up early to give us a packed breakfast at 4:30. We are so grateful for their kindness. I am sad that I did not get to use the pool, but will do next time!

GermanyLocation is a bit hard to find. It's more like a B&B than a hotel which is different from what we expect. Not many restaurants around so you kinda have to eat there for $20 per dinner. The vibe is a bit like the movie "Get out".
The room and lodge decor is very cute and nice. The bed is comfy with powerful AC. The common areas are amazing as you got the pool, dining area and very large 2nd floor balcony to see the riverside.
