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.).

The rooms were tidy and the view from the deck was good.

South AfricaThere is no restaurant on site or easily accessible shops in need. Crossing Grocers was closed on Sunday and Monday during our trip, which was inconvenient. Security measures are not in place for the entrance gate. The paths are also not very well maintained for vehicles. The game drives are excessively priced at R1300 for a family and this is not a big 5 game reserve. There is no entertainment for kids, only a pool on site. Suggest management looks into establishing a small shop or restaurant on site. Also a jungle gym for kids. And to allow for self drives within the reserve.
It's very comfortable accomodation with good views surrounding the lodge.

South AfricaBats. There were bats in the rooms that we slept in. A notification should definitely be up with regard to this.
The location of the lodge is quite difficult to get to, the roads were very muddy but the staff is lovely and very helpful!

ZimbabweThe gate are manual and there is noone manning them which means you have to get out and open them even in the night. I suggest they invest in automated gates. The gates are also never locked which means anyone can access the property. There was a 12 hour powercut and we were surprised to learn that there was not back up. We would have expected them to at least have an inverter or generator in light of the powercuts South Africa is experiencing.
The chalets are beautiful, the staff are friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable and kitchens and living area are well equipped. The rooms are very spacious and I loved the ambience and the views. There is some game on the farm for those interested in a game drive.

South AfricaUnfortunately units are not suitable for elderly people. "A few internal stairs" turned out to be really steep and difficult to negotiate as well as the steps leading down to the units. People should be notified that it is unsuitable for wheel chair and elderly or disabled . Road getting to units was a nightmare, loads of mud and we got stuck in the mud - so rainy season definitely not the time to visit.
loved the views. The game ride was great - saw lots of interesting animals.

South AfricaKitchen was lacking a few basic utensils like a wooden spoon and normal pan. Towels could be upgraded as they are very worn. They should notify guests to bring insect repellant.
Location is beautiful. Bit pricey for the game drive and they should allow you to drive by yourself and pay a fee. Aircon in the rooms is lovely.

South AfricaBathrooms were dark. Maybe change the floors there. Bathroom was not appealing they should do more cleaning and have an extraction fan on there Poor housekeeping, the house keepers were not changing bedding, the bedding is brown does not look appealing House keepers need to be re-training on housekeeping, it was a total turn off The roads are gravel and when it rains the cars struggle to drive through, we struggle with our cars stuck in the mud. They should make a plan to maintain the road from the entry gate to the lodge.
Location. Views were breathtaking

South AfricaI would have liked a indoor hot swimming pool, which can be charged for the hours being used eg R50 for two hours etc This would have made my stay as I went there to rest and spend family quality time. Or even a Jacuzzi on the terrace :) would have been awesome.
The lodge was great and spacious. Very clean and have the basic for the self catering. The staff very friendly and happy to help. Not too far from Johannesburg.
