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.).

United KingdomCheck in not allowed after 6pm. Not a problem for us but had we flown in on the day and travelled directly to St Lucia it could have been. That said, the staff are so nice I am sure an arrangement could be made even if it attracted a fee.
Just a lovely quirky place. Did not disappoint having stayed here 3 years ago. Rooms have varied decor and all are really nice, clean and comfortable Beautiful clean and clear swimming pool, sadly the weather did not oblige during our stay for us to use it. Breakfast is delicious and all staff are keen and wiling to help deliver your every need. Ideally suited for a stay In St Lucia. Our second time of staying here and we will be back again

We had such fun here we couldn't leave - ended up returning for a few extra nights. Hosts/team are extremely accommodating, friendly, informative and fun. The tropical gardens are perhaps the best I've seen anywhere (even beats tropical Costa Rica, Colombia, etc), and the breakfast, rooms and overall setting are superb. I wouldn't recommend staying anywhere else in St Lucia! (Go birding in the iGwalagwala trail)

South AfricaThe breakfast was fantastic, staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the rooms were so relaxing and peaceful with the sounds of birds/frogs/crickets a constant reminder of the nature surrounding St Lucia. We will definitely be back for another visit and recommend Lodge Afrique to anyone who is looking to travel to the area!

GermanyThe botanic garden is not only beautiful, but with the occasional turtle or other small animals you will find, it makes the boardwalk to your room quite interesting, especially for kids. The breakfast is always something new and, more importantly, very tasty. My girlfriend told the staff that she disliked mushrooms while ordering breakfast on the first morning, and without saying anything the next days, her plates were always clean of them while the rest of us all got them. Unfortunately, we had bad luck with the weather, but the owner had a lot of insight and was able to offer us some good information on what there is to do in and around Saint Lucia.

GermanyThe chalets are located in a beautiful lush tropical garden. They are spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated in African style and spotlessly clean. The bathroom is luxurious with a separate bathtub and shower. The manager and staff are very friendly and helpful with any questions one might have. Breakfast is included in the price (which wasn't stated on this page, so it was a pleasant surprise). We were heading out early on tours every morning, and the manager made sure we received a tasty packed breakfast. It was the best accomodation of our three-week trip to South Africa and we have enjoyed our stay very much.
