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 AfricaThere was a fee to pay for safari entry access or something to that effect of R150 everytime, mine amounted to R600. After paying an all-inclusive amount, no one wants to still pay for anything. I would rather make this be part of the booking. It threw me off a bit and this was at check out. But in any case, everything was beautiful and worth every rand paid.
Everything about this place was just exceptional. I went to relax and celebrate my birthday and the hotel understood the assignment. The Welcoming was super special, the rooms fantastic, the serenity insane. The food was very nice, i was constantly full, enough to eat enough to drink (All inclusive). The hotel baked me a cake for my birthday and also set up the room after supper with champagne which was very special. The safari drives were really good, the guide very informed, the welcome every time we return from the safari were spectacular, especially the evening drive with welcome drinks and performance from the staff. Twice having our meal the elephants came for water, that was just special, made the view even better...

GermanyNothing really.
We had such a fantastic experience, staff members were all super friendly, helpful and went the extra mile to make our stay special. Also, the kids club was an unexpected but very pleasant surprise that our little one enjoyed a lot and allowed us to have some “couple time”. Game drives were simply amazing, our guide very knowledgable and we managed to spot the big 5 plus many more animals throughout our stay. The “bumble bee drives” for our little one were so much fun and greatly appreciated. Rooms and common areas are very stylish and modern; the lodge directly boarders the reserve and many animals walk by every once in a while, including elephants that drink from the pool. The very diverse and tasty full board food options as well as the broad drinks menu rounded off the stay.

United Kingdomhonestly nothing....the place is fantastic!
Breakfast was two courses, and ready for us as soon as we got back from a game drive. All staff are extremely friendly, accommodating and greet you as soon as they see you! We had hot towels to refresh ourselves once back from game drive and drinks after the afternoon drive. The whole experience was ever so lovely! We got asked our lunch and dinner preferences so they could have this ready for us as soon as we were back from a game drive. The lodge itself is exceptional, clean, quiet, every little detail thought out. Turn down service with a little treats!

United Kingdomgorgeous lodge with amazing staff and wonderful rooms. the extra care they all took of us and of our 2.5 year old son - always making sure someone was on hand to help and printing out bedtime stories for him - was a cut above anything we have experienced. there was also a bbq night under the stars with open fire that was a wonderful experience. safari was not the best for big cat spotting but we saw so many wonderful rhinos and elephants at extremely close range and had a family of meerkats living under the porch which was a delight. thoroughly recommend to all! 😃

The location and the style of construction chosen it’s just perfect. The outstanding service in conjunction with the friendliness made our stay very special. The guided tours in the park were extremely good, that of course due to the knowhow of the ranger, perfect work. The detail of the food and the venue chosen within the property for every meal made it even more delightful.
