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 12km dirt road was a bit rough at times, therefore took about 1 hour to drive, but we were given the option of either driving all the way in our own car or the staff would've collected us at an off-site parking area. We chose to self-drive and enjoyed the mini adventure in doing so.
We were blown away by the combination of luxury and privacy afforded by the tent. In fact, calling it a tent is somewhat misleading - it would be better to call it a luxury lodge with tent-like features. There was so much space in each of the rooms, and the furniture/appliance selection was exquisite. And 10 out of 10 for all the staff who facilitated the weekend with excellent service.

Everything! The tents are incredible - very big and so luxurious inside. Even better than the photos. Whoever did the interior design has a great eye and really paid attention to the details. It also works well as a living space; both of us could stretch out in the living room and read our books, which is a rarity. Needless to say, the surrounding area is incredibly beautiful. We slept like babies with the sound of the stream right outside our tent, and appreciated the turn down service to make everything a bit cozier. We genuinely thought we were the only guests, but learned later that they were full up (and saw the other guests at breakfast). This speaks volumes about how private and secluded the tents feel. Zuannette and Arman, the couple running the retreat, really made our stay an 11/10. Zuannette was so helpful and accommodating even before we reached the property; she helped us organize a Valentine’s scarp drive and picnic on very short notice. We also enjoyed several of Arman’s meals (he is a talented chef and runs the restaurant). They are friendly and genuine but also run the place very professionally, which is not an easy balance to strike. I would definitely recommend an evening scarp drive and picnic, it was not just beautiful but also interesting to learn about the history of the place. Also impressed with the delicious spring water! I could go on but please go and see it for yourself, you won’t regret it!

South AfricaThere was absolutely nothing we did not like about our stay at Mbizane. Every aspect, from the impeccable service to the stunning surroundings, contributed to a flawless experience.
Our stay at Mbizane was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks in large part to the exceptional hospitality demonstrated by Armandt, Zuane, and their dedicated support staff. From the moment we arrived, they extended a level of warmth and attentiveness that transformed our experience into something beyond the ordinary. The meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of our stay, from the impeccable accommodations to the delightful dining experiences, was truly remarkable. Armandt, Zuane, and their team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, creating an atmosphere that was both inviting and indulgent. Our time at Mbizane not only exceeded our expectations but left an indelible mark on us. We are certain that we will return for another visit, drawn not only by the outstanding facilities but also by the genuine care and kindness of the entire Mbizane team. Additionally, the breathtaking ride up the mountain pass after the rainfall added a magical touch to our stay, making it an experience we will fondly reminisce about. Our time there was a seamless blend of comfort, luxury, and genuine hospitality, leaving us with only the fondest memories of our stay.

Zuanette and her partner Armand run a remote quiet retreat in the Schoemanskloof. The tents are luxury and excellent equiped including full kitchen equipment. Cooking however is not neccessary since |Armand serves standard an excellent breakfast and an even better dinner on request with a real passion for food. The retreat is situated 30' from the mainroad and the route towards it is quite bumpy. However you will be picked up on request by Armand. Mbizane is an excellent stopover for 2-3 days if you are " en route" from Johannesburg to Kruger. Tranquility and hundreds of different birds will make your holiday one to never forget.
