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 AfricaNothing.
Upmarket, self-catering accommodation with huge outside areas including private splash pool, boma and eating area. Very private. Paul, the manager, was there to welcome us and make sure we were comfortable. Another bonus is that you are free to walk around the reserve should you wish to.

South AfricaThere was no one to come greet or meet us throughout our stay . There is no microwave to warm up things, the fridge is too small incase you have intending to stock up as the place is a distance from stores. The gravel road to the venue is too long and although you are warned,its far worse.
The tent was very clean and had almost everything we needed. most cutlery was available.

South AfricaOur host, fanie. We had communicated prior to our arrival that we will check in late, he was very much aware. To our surprise we get to the tent, and realize it only locks from the outside and not the inside, we tried to call him to inform him of the lock but to no avail. We slept in an unlocked tent for 2 nights. We had no choice now did we.
The place is beautiful, perfect for an escape from the city, very clean, peaceful and value for money.

South AfricaOwner and manager are super accommodating, responsive, friendly and helpful! Was a great experience to be out in the bush, super quiet and relaxing. The outdoor shower is really nice and beds are comfy. River walk with Gerhard was a morning well spent. Even with the glamping vibe of the tent, you still have the experience of being in the bush due to the sink area being outside and the ever changing weather conditions. It's a balance of luxury and roughing it out.
The long dirt road isn't totally awful however definitely made the trip a lot more stressful. Our low car did have a bit of trouble when we took a different road (not much other signage). In our experience the unit could be a bit more kitted out for self catering. And a provided broom and extra cloths would have been helpful as the unit doesnt get cleaned until you leave. Losing water twice when Eskom cuts the electricity. We were unlucky with the odd weather.
