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 AfricaThe bed and pillows weren't comfortable. The self catering rooms didn't have an oven.
The view of crocodile river was amazing. You could see atleast 3 different animals at any point in time. The pool has a very nice set up with pretty lights and day beds. Happy hour between 5-6pm was also great.

South AfricaUnfortunately, the very loud generator ran throughout the night for 3 nights, right outside our bedroom window, and we got no sleep. While we appreciate the power during loadshedding, the noise was untolerable. It would help to build a brick wall or room around it to isolate the noise a bit. It really made it difficult to go on game drives during the day after a long evening of no rest, which did unfortunately spoil the trip. Our TV also didn't work at all. There is no signal or connection throughout our stay.
The location is unbeatable, the facilities are fantastic, the view was incredible, and Chalets were comfortable, clean, and spacious.

South AfricaSome noisy neighbours but wasn't too bad.
Amazing location - right on the Crocodile river. Hippos and elephants were +/- 50 meters away from us. Merely 12-15 minutes drive to the Malelane gate. The cabins are simple but clean. Beds are comfortable. The shower was great too.

United KingdomNot sure why we needed to pay extra for the main pool. This was not stated in the literature and is not much but adds up per person so did not use it. The lights went off in one room and did not come back on even after load shedding so very hot. Restaurant was closed.
Good location on the River. Nice pool near River. Good little kitchen in chalet.

South AfricaThe new Indigo restaurant on site allows members of the public to walk through the premises and in-between the chalets and some members of the public even use the chalets pool. Persons visiting the restaurant are very noisy. We stayed in Chalet no 2 - the windows of the chalet were very dirty and there were a lot of spider webs in the chalet. The fridge needs to be replaced and was not working properly to keep our food cold.
Beautiful location could see elephants and hippos from the chalet.

South AfricaMy booking was a self catering chalet but I got a chalet with no kitchen. The lady who assisted me told me that bookings.com has been mixing up the bookings .... As a Muslim traveller I required a self catering as our food is Halaal and we tend to bring our food from home ... had no kitchen or utensils as per booking
The lady at reception was really accommodating... Also she arranged breakfast boxes to be packed...
