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 AfricaJust a suggestion.......... maybe an ambrella on the deck? That would be nice
What a wonderful place. Everything you needed. I loved the big glass windows and could see nature all around us. Very comfortable and loved the small swimming pool on the deck. Will go back for sure ;)

United KingdomWithout being too picky, there was an issue finding that one air conditioner remote worked for three air conditioners, which I wasn’t aware of. The domestic came to clean daily, and whilst it was perfunctory, it was welcomed. One window in the lounge is in serious need of repair, one light covering in the kitchen came away from the wall and the trash bin was not emptied completely resulting in an overflow and smelly bin in my second week.
Impala Cottage is a delightful gem situated in the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, one’s own wildlife place, visited by various game while enjoying the privacy. I was happy with having the whole cottage to myself and when my nephews visited, there was more than enough room for them. The plunge pool was a necessary delight, and made full use of!

I like everything about the accommodation. It's a small heaven on earth. It's private accommodation away from home. I love their small romantic pool with jacuzzi. The place is romantic the beds so are comfortable the linen is very clean. Yolandie she is the best host ever. She knows how to handle customers. We were so happy and felt at home by her warm welcome.

South AfricaThere was nothing that I did not like.
What a beautiful little gem in the bush. Excellent location, great ambience and the most lovely decor. The cottage is well equipped and the attention to detail is evident. I loved the "home-made" bubble bath. The bed was very comfortable and the linen was of superior quality. I will most definitely be staying at Lulani lodge again.

South AfricaThe place is a little run down and felt like it has not been cared for. The pool deck was coming apart the window frames were also coming apart, alot of light fixtures were poorly done. Very cheap stainless steel tressel table and plastic chairs outside when there is such a nice patio.
The location in the wildlife estate, and the bush babies at night.the inverter that keeps the wifi running during load shedding.

South AfricaThe cottage was run down. It was not value for money. The host mixed up our bookings and allocated to us a smaller cottage with no swimming pool although we upgraded to one with a pool. Host offered to rectify the issue but we felt it shouldn’t have happened in the first place and will be awkward to swap guests out of the property when they have just checked in. The last straw was when she came with the cleaner whilst we were making breakfast and asked if she could clean the property.
Location was great.
