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.).

United StatesWe needed a place for the night we landed at Kruger Mpumalanga airport. After renting a car and driving about 50 minutes following the staff's detailed driving directions, we arrived at this hotel around 9p. A staff member was waiting for us (we were the last arrivals) and he helped carry our luggage straight into our room. And although their restaurant had already closed at 8p, we'd arranged for a small snack to be in our room so we wouldn't go to bed hungry. What was actually there was a huge variety: a large plate of sandwiches, a bunch of fresh fruit, some hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, water, and juice! It was more than we two could eat. The heater worked wonderfully (it was a cold night), the giant king- sized bed was firm but comfortable, and the location made driving to Malelane Gate super easy the next morning.

South AfricaWould have liked to have braai facilities and possibly a fire pit to sit around, Also a powerful spotlight off the deck onto the river for night viewing would be great. Towel Rails in the bathroom would be a good idea
The viewing deck The very friendly and hospitable staff, willing to help you with anything, nothing was too much trouble. The cleanliness of the rooms

South AfricaThe breakfast menu didn't have much to choose from.
The hosts were very nice and I think the pictures don't do this place justice. It is a beautiful place to stay and the views are amazing. We saw quite a few animals by the river as well!

GermanyThe dinner . Eat somewhere else ! Sorry for the harsh reaction on your dinner! We only spent 1 night at your beautiful accomodation. We arrived late and ordered a table on arriving. We were told to order dinner directly on arrival (which is ok) As we went to dinner, we was supprised. No one has taken our order. The staff told us, we had to wait for a longer time (which would have benn ok) We got a table soon and the dinner was served within 10 minutes. We were surprised how fast it was. Then we were served with a meal which clearly came out deep-frozen & heatened up Maybe & hopefully you are normally serving dinners like we experianced in S.A. and we had just the bad luck of "bad timing" None or less, we were fully saticefied with your service and even book again. Best regards A&J
All good ! Friendly & safe parking.The river view was amazing. We saw 1 crocodile, 1 Hippo, 2 Elefants & a pack of monkeys only at breakfast !
