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 AfricaWe didn't get to experience breakfast at the lodge as we had to leave very early in the morning the next day. However, the lodge was kind enough to pack us a breakfast for the road. Location of the lodge is directly on the river Mzimvubu and the view is breathtaking.

South AfricaUnfortunately, Port St Johns is like many affected by loadshedding, however the owners tried their best to update the guests.
Great lodge, lovely grounds with great breakfast and seating at the restaurant along the beautiful river. Friendly, helpful staff and a lovely spa with great therapist named Sne. The beds in the rooms were very comfortable!

South AfricaA suggestion is maybe 2 ply toilet paper not 1 ply for a 4 star lodge. The town Port st. John's let's the lodge down. Town is derelict and dirty. You don't really want to go outside the walls. The road the.lodge is on is extremely noisy. Racing cat noises. Loud party noises. Most the time we were there.
Overall a lovely lodge. Beautiful views and friendly staff. Optional dinners were of good standard. Phumzi and staff were exceptional. Good amenities. Pool clean. Garden beautiful.

The Kitchen staff were amazing, very friendly and professional. The food was great, We loved the fresh scones 😊 The cleaners were also very friendly and helpful. Once of the receptionist was also very helpful. The location and the views were beautiful. The place is amazing and gives much needed Tranquility and break from the city buzz.

South Africathe rooms need to be more private, okay for family getaway. not recommended for romantic getaway,
The Breakfast was amazing. Very, very small room, no privacy, bedroom door opens straight onto busy walk way, if you in your room you have to close the curtains for privacy. Internet pictures make the rooms look huge, this was not the case. enjoyed our stay but did not find it value for money and no privacy with rooms, The resort is very well maintained and neat. Quite noisy with the resort being by an petrol station on the opposite site of the road,, just a pity.
