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 AfricaNothing, all was good. We had an exceptional stay.
The accommodation itself was outstanding. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The room was not only impeccably clean but also tastefully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The amenities provided exceeded my expectations, and it was evident that every detail had been carefully considered to ensure a luxurious and enjoyable experience. One aspect that truly stood out was the exceptional customer service. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate any requests I had, demonstrating a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. Whether it was providing local recommendations, assisting with transportation, or promptly addressing any concerns, their level of service was truly commendable. Kudos Thobile!!

South AfricaI had a king room at the back where your view is the wall, and we tried to change room to the view of lions we were even willing to upgrade just to have the view of lions,unfortunately we didn't win they said others have take the rooms. If I knew their rooms setup we would have definitely taken the ones with the animal views not the wall view. I think it should be clearly stated an u must have a choice of which room you want than being allocated at the back. i was really disappointed by that
The rooms are soooo super beautiful and clean. The bathroom also very nice and the roars outside are to die for

South AfricaThe room smelt a bit, like an old dirty mop was used to clean the floor tiles. Or perhaps not enough floor cleaner was used, something small to work on.
The lions and the paintings, the shower. It rained during our stay but seeing the big cats was fantastic. We had a view of them from our balcony.

South AfricaThe wifi in our room was not working the first night. On the second night it was sorted out, but after the power went off and on again the wifi was gone again. I think that can be improved as most visitors depend on wifi.
The location is the best, being surrounded by lions was phenomenal. The breakfast and dinner was the best. The staff forever friendly and helpful.
