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 AfricaVery low shower pressure. Quite a long dirt road to get to the property and can be difficult to drive through in stormy weather. Bug spray in the rooms would be helpful because of the area.
Good value for money. Very good hospitality by staff. Cool drinks and water available at on site shop. Saw zebra's and buck on the property. Parking on sand near the room.

South AfricaNegatives are minor and focused more on alight improvements. Place mentioned coffee station for each accommodation type which we didn't have and the exit process was a challenge as we had to depress the missing button on the remote. Lastly there was no hand soap
Communication was clear, directions easy to follow. Space was clean and entire place well kept. I was very impressed with the whole place and the offerings. Even the information book at the place was very helpful. Zakhele was available at all times which was reassuring. Alternative arrangements for the kitchen were made as we were informed on arrival that the communal kitchen was undergoing refurbishment

Loved being greeted by zebras, staff was readily available and very welcoming and helpful. Felt sorry for the breakfast group. Had a big group before us and then we were 14. They did a good job but felt they were overwhelmed getting enough cups etc.

South AfricaOverall the camp, including our chalet, has seen better times and would greatly benefit from renovations. The wifi let us down most of the time. Despite of that, the camp has a lovely tranquil atmosphere and I would definitely come back if the price was competitive with similar facilities.
We met two staff members who were very friendly and most helpful. The hiking trail is well maintained, the camp is very tranquil and there are several game species visiting the camp which makes the stay memorable.

South AfricaI didn’t like that there were no soaps in the rooms. I also didn’t like that there was just one person cleaning the entire property. It will help if you added security guards.

South AfricaNo restaurant and nothing to enjoy at the camp. Bar didn't have ice so warm drinks and our first family cottage was dirty,, only available from 15h30 only after we complained did they move us to another cottage. There was also a break into someone's car a few cottages down from us. This place has so much potential with loyal and friendly staff I feel the owner need to step up here and start listening to their customer and ramp the place up. There's only so much the staff can achieve but if the owner is not maintaining his investment the staff's hands are tied.
The area was well kept and it has beautiful surroundings of veld.

Loadshedding schedule should be shared with guests before they arrive so they can prepare and bring some back up lights etc.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like...but for people who may want a sophisticated place that spelt modernism, they should rather look elsewhere, but that being said it is perfect for those who enjoy a sense of the real Africa.
I really enjoyed the real Bush feel to the place, it was well laid out and had a good atmosphere. Our stay was made better by the welcome we received, and the continuous helpfulness of the staff.. for the "birdies" it is the perfect place...endless birdsong...we took the walk through the park in the late afternoon which was lovely...and wonderful to share the surroundings with the various antelopes..
