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 AfricaThe standard of the ablution facility was not great. The bath could not be used, dirty water came out the taps, bath was stained. No soap provided, and towels were tired.
The bar area is excellent with a view not to missed. The chalet is free standing and no disturbances. Location was excellent.

NigeriaBreakfast service ended at 9am, while I was still in bed ... dinner ends early too. So it is probably best to plan self catering, or dining elsewhere.
Large room, comfortable bed, large windows and patio with views onto serene landscaping...

South AfricaNot a single coffee/tea sachet provided in the room. Everybody drinks coffee/tea when they wake up, and not having this basic necessity is really not nice, as you pay quite a lot to sleep there already. Noisy trains/trucks all night.
Room was very nice :) Bar was open even though we were the only ones :) Friendly staff :)

United KingdomUnfortunately the property is situated close to a railway line, which could be noisy at times. However we would still recommend the place as the staff could not have been more helpful
The rooms were spacious with a good sized bathroom. The bar area was stunning with its wonderful view of the Komati river. The staff at the property were very friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. We enjoyed a good evening meal and breakfast.

South AfricaToilet is a bit cramped in next to the bath at no:3 chalet.
This place was really value for money, we could just relax and take in all the beauty nature has to offer. Gavin went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed the drinks and stories told at the bar overlooking the Komati river and Kambaku gold course. Swimming pool was amazing. I will highly recommend this establishment to anybody. I will definately be back trying out the tiger fishing. Keep up the good job management and your team!
