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 AfricaWe didn't stay long enough.
We loved the rooms - very comfortable and cosy. Loved the lack of signal in the rooms - a chance to disconnect and engage with one another. The staff was kind polite & welcoming, very helpful when we booked activities that weren't on the property.

South AfricaThe fact that the jacuzzi was blocked, surely the problem is with the plumbing system, we also reported this issue but it was not sorted, which was quite disappointing because the jacuzzi is one of the best feature in the lodge .
the stuff is very friendly and welcoming, loved the food complement to the chef. The location was amazing loved everything even though our room was very cold the heat on the aircon remote didn't work and we reported it but unfortunately we were not assisted.

South AfricaTruly nothing to improve on!
Beautiful rooms. Clean, very well maintained and comfortable. Food was delicious. Staff were amazing and the forest walk was well guided. Easy to follow and a fun adventure with our toddler. Nyala came right up to our room and the hot tub was easy to use and super fun! Only disappointment is we didn't get to see the zebra but saw lots of buck. Very quiet and peaceful. We loved it!

South AfricaRoom cleanliness could be improved. Gecko mess everywhere. I understand that it's the bush but still felt this was an issue. Small attention to detail things. Bathroom door didn't close. Room door battled to open.
Setting was incredible, so peaceful and relaxing. Waking to the bush surrounding you is surreal. The staff were amazing, very well trained, attentive but not obtrusive. Food was out of this world. Wildlife outside your room was incredible.

The loge was nice, rooms are as in the pictures. Breakfast was ok, dinner was ok. Loved the dinner from the last night (Phuthi, tomato relish and braai meat) thoroughly enjoyed it. No network by chalets, network available by the restaurant and reception. If you are after some peace and quiet, no interruptions from phone's and tv's, then this place is for you.
