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 AfricaThere was nothing to fault.
It is an awesome camp within Kruger, unfenced so open to all the wildlife around. The tents are beautiful with a large deck & gas braai for outdoor cooking. The staff went above & beyond to give us a fantastic experience. We really would have liked to have the elephants walk past ;) but had to make do with Buffalo, Leopard, Baboons & bush buck, & roaring lions at night - such a cool experience.

Its location within Kruger & unfenced so that you are literally in the wild - that was amazing. The staff were awesome & went above & beyond to give us a fantastic experience We like to self cater so the fact that we could do our own braaiing & cooking was great & on a beautiful deck overlooking the river & the bush

South AfricaIf other guests are noisy you hear it clearly due to no other noise pollution in the area. However, security attend to this immediately.
What an awesome experience, overlooking the Sabi River, surrounded by noises of the wildlife in the evening. Accommodation is 5 star, and staff friendly. Best part is the early morning & late afternoon park drives, making the most of it due to perfect location.

United KingdomFantastic stay. The accommodation was huge, modern and extremely comfortable (perhaps the most comfortable bed of our trip)! There were elephants in the camp upon our arrival and the staff made sure we knew of any other visitors we had during our stay! Cooking on the brai after our safari was a really magical touch. For what it's worth, the WiFi worked absolutely fine during our stay, in our tent. Lastly, every member of staff we met was wonderful and very kind. We only wish we had stayed for longer!

PolandOur 3-night stay at Nkuhlu Tented Camp in Kruger National Park was unforgettable. The camp's rustic charm and comfortable tents provided a perfect base for exploring the park's wildlife. Guided game drives led by knowledgeable rangers offered unforgettable encounters with Africa's iconic animals. The camp's location by the river provided breathtaking views, adding to the overall experience. The staff at Nkuhlu were not just friendly and accommodating, but their dedication ensured a special and safe stay, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend for an authentic safari adventure in Kruger.

GermanyThat we only spent one night.
Everything was just great. The staff was wonderful, very friendly, and always there to help. We had a long and interesting chat with Game Ranger Aubrey (I hope it's spelt correctly), who cares a lot about the animals and the environment. The tents are very luxurious and very spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen, an outside braai area, and a big, comfortable bed with a mosquito net to keep the bush bugs away. The tents are unfenced, so it is a real adventure wondering what comes close to your tent at night. Hearing the bush sounds at night is just priceless. With Sabie River right at your doorstep, you are almost guaranteed to see or hear elephants, hippos, or crocodiles. (Of course there's never a guarantee - it's not a zoo - but we were lucky enough to see them all in just a few hours)

ItalyFabulous place. Beautiful tents placed on the shore of Sabie. The field is not fenced and therefore the animals circulate freely. We had elephants, hyenas and hypoopotami under the tent. In addition to birds and velvet monkey. . The tents are equipped with every comfort and the staff is very kind and very nice. We will certainly return .as soon as we can !

Amazing place, the tents were very luxurious and spacious, more like a modern apartment. Also very clean. Staff was great and accommodating, we got walkietalkied in the morning to tell us we could see a leopard walking through the campsite which was amazing! The ranger who was there at night told us stories and a lot of information about the park/camp. He also made us feel very confident in the safety of the camp and accomodations. Would and will recommend this to everybody!

South AfricaThe unfenced camp makes for an umatched bush experience, with hyenas, hippo and bush buck making appearances throughout the evenings. The view over the Sabi River from the room is absolutely incredible! The room is fully furnished with everything you need for a self-catering stay. Beautifully decorated and practically well thought through down to the finest detail - including a rechargeable light, free-standing battery, radio for communication with the team, aircon, fan and ammenities. The kitchen is equipped with a two plated gas stove, kettle for on the gas stove, fridge/freezer, an array of utensils, a microwave and ammenities (coffee, tea and milk). Also, outside on the patio, there is a gas webber. The staff were so friendly, helpful and attentive. Late in the afternoons the housekeeping ladies would not only do the usual turndowns, but also set a table in the room for dinner. On the bed you would receive a chocolate, plus a bed time story and souvenir relevant to the tale. The location of the camp/lodge is very convenient as it is situated at the Nkuhlu picnic site. Which has its own shop and takeaway (closes at 15:40). All in all expectations were exceeded. A stay at Nkuhlu Tented Camp is a MUST when visiting the Kruger.

South AfricaPitty you can't have an open flame braai, but understandable why not.
Stunning location, amazing staff, well appointed accommodation. We only stayed one night which was not enough, to truly enjoy this camp and the area, I would say you need to spend at least three nights.
