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.).

Lions place is a beautiful hidden Pearl in Greater Kruger. jP and Daniëlle are great hosts. He lives his ranger dream and is a fantastic guide during Game drives. Danielle is a warm person and cooks with passion. We felt home in the middle of this beautiful nature

NetherlandsWauw wauw wauw. What an amazing time we had here at Lions place. We have been together with JB and the family for 3 days. We did a lot: from visiting Kruger Park to game drives and a Bush walk. The family is amazing! JB knows so much and is passionate about the bush. He showed us a lot of animals (elephant, lions, giraffes, kudus, buffalos and we even saw a Leopard at the logde!), which was awesome but the best thing was the family really made us feel so welcome and at home. The mom is a fantastic chef together with the two girls helping her (she makes the best pastries and sweets ever!), and JB made us always comfortable and has a great sense of humor. Also the accommodation is beautiful and super clean. 100% recommended for going here, would not have wanted it otherwise and wish to come back here one day.

Our 3 day stay at lions place exceeded all of our expectations! The service, room and safari drives have all been amazing and if you are lucky many different animals come drink at the lodge. JP is a great host and really goes the extra mile to make your stay and game drives extra special. One of our most memorable stays ever!

GermanyWe spent 3 nights at Lions Place in October 2021 in a very nice double room. The property is superbly landscaped, with a very nice terrace and swimming pool. At the terrace you can see the wildlife at the waterhole very well. The game drives at Balule / Grietjie Game Reserve were very good and private. There was a lot of animals and J.P. as our guide was great! We had our daily sundowner at a beautiful location at the Game Reserve. The freshly made food for breakfast and dinner is very, very good. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. We can highly recommend the Lions Place!
