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 AfricaThe fact that we were not even accorded a phone call to advise that there stay expectations would be affected by the fire. The pot holes/state of the roads were horrific! The lack of visual animals (other than if you participated in a safari game drive where the guides all scream around looking for animals and to join 10 other safari trucks). And to hear that animals are being "siphoned" out of Pilansberg to other exclusive parks. NOT GREAT FOR US LOCALS
It was really sad that the restaurant had burnt down. It was worse however, that we were not informed pro-actively about the inconvenience of having to travel to and from Batgatla every morning and evening. (Especially for elderly ladies travelling on that open road in the dark at night)

South AfricaThe tents are very run down with pieces torn off and holes patched very shabbily. There was a fan in the room, but no plug adapter to plug it in. I had to go ask at reception for an adapter so we could use the fan. At least they managed to find one. Even though it is stated that towels are included I had to again go to reception and ask for towels as they were not in the tent. The grounds are in serious need of attention with weeds standing knee high everywhere. The bathrooms were clean, but in a serious state of disrepair. The shower I used did not drain properly so I was standing in an ankle deep pool of water after showering for 5 minutes. My choices were a shower with no shower head, one with broken tiles on the floor and a hole through the wall, one where the door did not close properly or the one that floods. The light inside the tent and the outside light are connected, so if you switch ON the light both inside and outside goes ON or OFF. So you cannot only have the outside light on while keeping the inside one off the keep the insects out. When we left at 9:30 there was nobody at reception, so just left the key with the plug adapter in front of the computer. It is sad as Manyane has serious potential and used to be a very nice camp site to go to.
The tent was clean and the beds were comfortable and all the people I interacted with was friendly. Ample hot water in the bathrooms.

South AfricaWe did not get the room we paid for when booking. There was two single beds in the room and no microwave or cutlery. The tv had limited channels and most of the channels were just advertising Dstv.
The breakfast and dinner were exceptional. The staff at the restuarant was great. The swimmingpool was relaxing. They did apologies for the fire that waa there last year but they put you in a downgraded room.

South AfricaThe safari tents were very expensive for what it offered. The plug points weren't all working correctly in the rooms, and fans had twin plugs but the tent only had 3 prong. The tents were not very clean either. Ablutions are also very far from the safari tents.
Location is perfect for Pilanesberg and the resorts facilities were great. However, it is close to a township and loud music continued until 3am which meant little to no sleep unfortunately.

Australiathe ac leaked terribly and didn't cool very well. The room had a lot of cobwebs and the floor was quite dirty.
There was a problem with the safari tents that we booked so we were upgraded to chalets. That was a nice surprise. However they were a little dirty and the air conditioning (while it was a beautiful upgrade) leaked quite badly and left a puddle on the floor. But all round we were very happy as we only paid for the safari tent. Thanks for the upgrade! A great location for getting into the park and a nice pool and outside braai area. Would stay again for sure. Also there was a generator for load shedding which was a wonderful surprise.

No one notified us or provided a bucket or 2 for people to atleast wash their face. We purchased bottles from the caravan shop to try and wash up abit.
The staff were amazing, the place was clean and absolutely beautiful. And food was surprisingly huge portions for the 3 course dinner. Definitely value for money

South AfricaThe camp shop is quite expensive and there are no prices indicated on items. The tents need some tlc as some of the window straps are broken. I am of the opinion that the accommodation is expensive given the amenities provided and the overall state of the camp site.
The tents are neat and clean. The location is right next to Pilanesberg which is great. Ablution facilities are very neat.
