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 treatment when we asked for few minutes to clear the room didn't sit well, and the way the co-host reacted made us feel unwanted and not paying customers.
The property is easy to access, the rooms were clean and the balanced breakfast. The hosts were superb, made sure we felt at home at all times and prepared a delicate dinner taking into our allergies.

A paradise! The reality far exceeds the photos. The setting is worthy of a fairy-tale movie, with the evening wood fire releasing tropical scents and a breathtaking landscape! Ruan and his wife are welcoming and attentive. On the last day, I fell ill and Ruan provided me with the necessary medication. On the first day, not having booked anything to do, he arranged a small safari for me. The food is delicious, although South African cuisine is quite unique and may not appeal to those accustomed to European and American cuisine. However, at Muunga Lodge, everything is delicious! The cherry on top is that the body care products such as lotion and shampoo are homemade. On the day of departure, even though the check-out time is at 10am, they allowed me to stay until my flight time. I highly recommend Muunga Lodge!

CyprusIf you’re looking at this review, book this accommodation! You will stay in a beautifully designed intimate lodge that is spotless and clean, with hosts that are true masters of hospitality. Every detail is considered with care, everything you need will be handled. For the price they far exceeded our expectations. You will receive 5+ star service, incredible food, and (if you wish) great conversation. We will personally tell anyone we know coming to the area to stay here. Truly cannot recommend them enough. -Johanna & Bjorn

Oh my goodness, EXCEPTIONAL in every way!! Ruan and Janie, such amazing hosts, welcoming, friendly, helpful but also respectful of your privacy. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, lots of recommendations for eating out and the local area, they even let us borrow their bikes so that we could explore the beautiful nature reserve that the property is situated in! (We saw Kudu, waterbuck, warthog and warthog babies!! Mongoose etc) The whole ambience of this place is incredible and the decor is beyond beautiful!! So tranquil and stylish yet relaxed and comfortable - we absolutely loved it here!!! Oh and we loved the honesty bar too! Room was so lovely and super comfortable! I could go on . . .

South AfricaOur stay was short and we did not get a chance to explore other activities on offer such as massages, bicycle rides etc.
Where does one begin? You have to visit the lodge in person to experience it for yourself... From the moment you arrive, you feel welcome and right at home. The owners made sure that we felt welcomed and our stay was fantastic. The lodge is tastefully decorated and this also extends to the rooms. The place has a beautiful aroma - so wherever you are, you just get this beautiful fragrance 🙂. The location is great. The lodge is private & intimate and you are surrounded by beauty & nature. The place is tranquil and the bed was comfortable. We had scrumptious breakfast and dinner. We left inspired and feeling like we had made new friends. Thank you so much for your outstanding hospitality. We appreciate all that you did to make sure that our stay was comfortable & memorable. We appreciate the conversations that we had and we are definitely coming back.

SwitzerlandCould not think of any!
This was our favourite from all our accomodations we've stayed in South Africa and here's why: - Jenny & Ruan are amazing hosts that go above & beyond to make your stay memorable - Beautiful interior design of the lodge with a unique touch. They've done everything by themselves and I would immediately hire them as my interior architects :-) - Wonderful garden with great views of the Drakensberg mountains. Bushbabies might even stop by for a visit in the evening! - Possibility to do Safaris right around the corner (Ruan is also a trained guide) - Place to go for wine lovers, Ruan is also a professional in the wine field! - Breakfast is freshly prepared and delicious! We loved the fresh fruits and Musli as well as the delicious Omelettes. Also they prepared dinner just for the two of us and it was a very nice and romantic dinner!

Hong KongPrepare to be captivated by the sheer magnificence of this hotel! From the moment you step foot inside, you'll be transported to a realm of enchantment and beauty. The vibrant and meticulously designed decor will leave you in awe, creating an atmosphere that is truly mesmerizing. And hold onto your seats because during breakfast, you might just catch glimpses of adorable little creatures passing by, adding a touch of excitement and wonder to your morning meal. Oh, let me tell you about the room we stayed in! Picture a haven of cleanliness and comfort that surpasses all expectations. Every corner of our room was immaculate, and the level of comfort provided was simply unparalleled. It was like stepping into a dreamy oasis where relaxation and tranquility reign supreme. But wait, there's more! The host of this extraordinary hotel is not only warm and welcoming but also an absolute treasure trove of wildlife knowledge. Engaging in conversations with them will open up a world of fascinating information about the local fauna that will leave you spellbound. And brace yourself for a taste sensation because the food prepared by the lodge is hands down the best in town. Each bite is a tantalizing explosion of flavors that will have your taste buds begging for more. I can't contain my excitement! This hotel is an absolute gem, offering an ambiance that will transport you to another realm, luxurious rooms with private yards that redefine comfort, a host who is both welcoming and a wildlife expert, and gastronomic delights that will leave you craving for seconds. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this extraordinary experience. It's a journey of a lifetime that will leave you buzzing with excitement and longing to return.

South AfricaThe weekend was shorter.
This weekend felt more like a family vacation but with privacy. The hosts welcomed us very well. They have a baby in the property but that's the most well-behaved baby i did not even hear a single cry from a 11-month old baby. All in all i will highly recommend that place if you want peace and tranquility. Even the guests they had were such a breath of fresh air. Definitely returning for another weekend. Thank you for your humility Ruan.
