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.).

NetherlandsAbsolutely nothing, all perfect!!
Everything was perfect!! Probably the best hotel experience we ever had! Perfect welcoming, extremely friendly staff (without being too much), beautiful outside areas with amazing atmosphere created with oil lamps and candles, great experience on the fire pit over a drink and a great chat upon arrival from game drive, spotless pool area. Loved the “mi casa, tu casa” concept where we could help ourselves to the open bar. The sleeping room was beautiful and spotless clean. The food was amazing and the chefs really friendly, the high teas phenomenal…… we could go on and on and on about Tambuti. Go do yourselves a favour a book this lodge!

Tambuti is part of Black Rhino and as such get exclusive access to large parts of the park, away from the mass of public and hotel resort visitors, and with exclusive access to many of the territories of some of the rarer animals such as Cheetah and Leopard, the derives are an absolute pleasure. The guides from Black Rhino share knowledge with each other and have a protocol on who can arrive, and in what order when there is something unusual to see. This means that the animals are left to be in their own environment without vans and cars jostling for position and often there is just you and the animal in perfect tranquility. The food is fabulous, the staff are all awesome, you will not find better than this I promise you Highly recommended

PolandI did not like the cold lunch, it was really basic, I expected some cooked food. I don't really understand why I had to pay 2000 more than my colleague, who is a S.A. resident. This is a private property, and the price should be based on the expenses and the profit margin.
I liked almost everything, especially game rides with our guide Martin.

United StatesAlthough the property requests health & dietary information, items appearing on my plate gave me a feeling my submission had not been read. A paradise for young lovers is not going to be as pleasant for solo travelers. Food was limited in quantity: most items pre-plated. The game drives in a jeep in radio contact with other jeeps in the reserve means about 30 people will all be dashing to whatever animal has been sighted from one Jeep. Gratuities were $ubtly yet $trongly $uggested.
Spacious room as described online, only 6 rooms, privacy with outdoor shower area. The perfect spot for young couples especially honeymooners Staff always ready to support, enlighten, or suggest Game drives included in price All-inclusive extended to the bar including “premium” beverages.

The food here was absolutely incredible!!!! Chef Edith spoilt us with the most amazing meals every single day and even made us a special something on the day of our departure. The staff went above and beyond on everything! Chef Edi, Marcia the assistant manager and Malcolm the general manager in particular made our stay one we will never ever forget - however every single member of their team we engaged with were really a pleasure! Their guest interaction is 5 star!! The units are beautiful - very spacious, clean and so so tranquil. This is the perfect spot for a couples get away! The attention to detail on the little things is really special! The turn down service with a piece of fudge on your pillow every night was a sweet gesture! We had a private candle light dinner and a bubble bath on our first night's stay for our 10 year anniversary. This was so so special! The amount of incredible sightings we had on every single game drive was spectacular!

The lodge was absolutely stunning, from the location, facilities, cleanliness - just everything exceeded expectations. The staff were all extremely friendly and catered to our every need, making us feel completely at home. On top of that, we had fantastic game viewing under the expert guidance of Martin. The food was out of this world - Riaan & Edith are incredible chefs, there was nothing that could be faulted at all. Stieneke, Martin, Riaan, Edith and team - THANK YOU!!
