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 AfricaOn Saturday night there were visitors who were making noise people like those ones must not be allowed in the property.
It's quite and private. If you want to rest after working hard it is a good place. Your staff are very friendly and professional. The fact that rooms are cleaned daily is perfect. The pool is open for all visitors

South AfricaClimbing the stairs was a bit of a pain but it wasn't bad.
We loved where our cabins were situated. It felt like you were right in the forest. Also, the cabins are not too close together so we had sufficient privacy. Kitchen was suitably stocked with everything you need to cook meals etc.

A wonderful family holiday away from it all ! The resort was tranquil , the chalets well kept and positioned to give you privacy and the opportunity to be at one with nature. The resort is in a beautiful setting and we made many happy memories walking through the forest to the beach, swimming at the pool where the water slides were a big hit and loads of fun!!! Would highly recommend and can't wait to return.

South AfricaThe only issue is that the second bedroom only had a double bed option and it would have been preferable to have two separate beds as we travelled with teenage boys who didn't really want to share a bed. The frying pan was not a non-stick pan. The roads in the complex are in need of attention.
We loved our stay at Mtunzini Forest Lodge, the units are very clean and comfortable there are great nature walks, the beach is beautiful and there are a lot of activities for both children and adults.

South AfricaPerhaps the maintenance of the roads within the resort can receive some more attention. It is not terrible but it can do with some improvements.
The whole experience was amazing. The units are comfortable and well appointed. The facilities within the resort is amazing with lots of options to keep busy or to just relax. The staff are amazing and very accommodating. Ant of course don't forget about the beautiful beaches which makes the walk more than worth while.
