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 photos don't really give a true representation. There was hardly anything to do. The pool area is much smaller than it looks and gets full quickly. The games room has no place for food or drinks and is quite secluded. Restaurant was dismal. The unit we stayed in was more like a caravan park than Lodge. Kitchen was damp and cupboards smelled, dust and bugs everywhere. The hottest room (loft) didn't even have a fan to help with the heat. When it rained there was no cover over the deck so we were stuck inside. The bathroom was icky and the floors were all sticky throughout. Ive been to a number of Gooderson resorts and this one really fell flat. I only saw 2 staff members on entry and they were very friendly but that's the only time we saw anyone.
It was nice and quiet

South AfricaThe mananger of the place is undermining and disrespectful. Racially discriminating. The Rooms are too small and so are the beds. The house is not as it looked on pictures. Rules are not the same as the ones written online.

South AfricaThe unit is in desperate need of a makeover.
So badly maintained, the only redeeming thing about the space was the staff, it was tiny, with a broken table bench combination, mismatched taps, doors that didn't open from the inside, clear glass slats in the bathroom so outside neighbours could see in, and unbelievably noisy neighbours with their motorbikes.

South AfricaEverything was perfect as it is a forest Lodge and it does not need too much change. Let the nature be as we leave in the cities and places have changed alot.
The place is perfect for people who are working alot as it is ideal for a vacation. Fresh air every minute as the trees are refreshing the atmosphere. Nature at it's best can be experienced at Mtunzini.

South AfricaBedding felt damp / wet the first night and had to complain. Location where they let us stay was bad when all other chalets was open. Alot of stairs in the dark and the lights outside and at the stairs are not working making it very dangerous to walk at night especially for our college that is in his late 60's. The alarm was also not working.
