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 AfricaI got tick bite fever and was extremely sick , we were not warned properly about it that there were many ticks . The food buffet we felt we were waiting for food because it wasn’t ready and there wasn’t enough food . The salads were never replaced once finished
The calm environment and it was very quiet and relaxing .

United KingdomI did not appreciate that guests were allowed to smoke and vape in the common/public restaurant area during our dinner and breakfast meals. At one point we raised it to the waitress who was nice enough to ask the guests to smoke outside but the other times it just felt awkward to be a complaining guest. Would love the lodge to enforce the rule considering the law
I loved all the amenities and the location of the tents which made it possible to see some animals from our base. Staff were quite friendly and arranged our excursions even at short notice

South AfricaThe tents were located well in the bush with views over the adjacent game farm and nearby farms , The beds were spacious and clean. Bathrooms were clean, basic for what you needed it and had all the bathroom things a fridge, hairdryer, and emergency lights and aircon, you needed to make your say enjoyable. The staff is very friendly and always willing to assist. The sinic drive was very nice with the lookout point , we got to see a few animals. The breakfast was really good with a good selection to choose from and different types of tea and good coffee. the boma dinner was really good and nice to have with the fire when there is a large group lots of meat and the RSA favorite pap with a braai . This is definitely an experience and a definite recommendation to do.very good security to the facility

South AfricaStaff needs to be a little bit more attentive in the dining area. Clearing plates and taking drink orders. There was usually one person and they are by the bar... Most of the time had to go to the bar to order and plates only cleared when you are done and starter plates etc... Main sitting on the table as you eat.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved the turn down service. Clean and well kept
