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.).

Absolutely everything. The views over the river and the falls were stunning! The game drives with Sipho were amazing and I will never forget them! He made every effort to ensure we saw everything and experienced all the wonders the reserve had to offer. A reallly special experience.

South AfricaSmall things and nothing that would deter me from going back, the menu was limited for meals, the vehicle for game drives could have done with a roof especially for the extremely hot day we had as well as the freezing cold morning, and the pool needed to be cleaned.
The cottages were spectacular! The staff were attentive and nothing was too much effort. Sipho the ranger was knowledgeable and found Lion, Cheetah, elephant and a host of other wildlife on all the drives!

South AfricaThere was a constant sewage smell around. We were in a very old vehicle which was fine however we were not provided blankets in the cold as the other guests got on their vehicle and when it rained all other guests had ponchos but we had none so we were soaking wet.
The location and fantastic game viewing. Rooms are also beautiful with a lovely view of the falls

United KingdomThere is nothing to dislike… the lodges are in need of attention such as the bathrooms could do with an upgrade but nothing that detracts from a fantastic holiday and the price reflects this. The pool needs a proper clean but I am sure this is in progress.
The location is stunning, the accommodation had amazing views, the game drives were superb and the staff were very helpful and professional. The bar man was exceptional and a real asset to the establishment. I would most definitely return here and would hope to have Sangelay as our guide, he made our holiday. we saw so much game and not just from a distance but up close. we had sundowners on the game drives and we’re met with warm flannels and plum sherry on our return. A very memorable holiday and one I will recommend to friends and family. Thsnk you to Fezile on reception for her assistance.

South AfricaWith only one masseuse working in the spa, we were unable to have a couples massage. However, this did not sway our perception of the lodge or detract from the overall experience, which was fantastic.

beautiful views of the falls and excellent game viewing. Our guide, Vusi was exceptional, we saw cheetahs, lions, elephants, hippo, buffalo, giraffe, amongst other animals. The food was great and the chef went out of his way to ensure that the food was to our taste and liking. The plunge pool at the suite is great for a summers day and the view is incredible. We were so sad to leave and will definitely be going back soon.
