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 KingdomPoor lion. Though nice to see but he needs to go where he belong. Hopefully not to late.
The staff. The accommodation. The location. A very pleasant 2 nights in the bush. Great game drive with a very informative guide. Lovely lapa and adequate braai space. The little spa was great pity the pumps did not work. Great staff and extremely helpful thank you.

The staff were all super helpful and friendly and the place was great! There were different kinds of antelope around the cottage throughout the day. The views were stunning and it was so peaceful. And we really enjoyed the 4x4 drive up the mountain and through the bushveld

South AfricaThe chalets were too close to each other. Noise and loud music of neighbours was very disturbing. The place has seen better days: the infrastructure on the plateau is derelict. Not much game. The single lion in a small enclosure is a turn-off. Their web presence does not reflect the reality.
Anel and other staff were very welcoming and tried their best. Hiking and driving on the plateau was a wonderful experience. Landscapes are varied.

South AfricaAnel is a great host, 20/10 type great. You travel on a gravel road on your way to Thaba Pitsi, but the ride is unnoticeable as the landscape is great going there, only issue is network connectivity in the area but the lodge has wifi, so we could keep in touch with our loved one's. The lodge itself is peaceful, the braai facilities great, she also makes sure you have firewood, and that for me deserves a 50. We mos normally forget that when we travel, then one needs to go back and look for firewood to braai etc. Ohh and there is a jacuzzi in the rondavel we stayed at. While my partner set-up the fire, I was inside soaking my stress away. Each house in the lodge has its own private swimming pool, which is a nice one for those who are travelling in groups. The area is so serene, peaceful, the sunset views spectacular. It is just what we needed. Thanks Anel for being a great host, continue being great and offering a great experience for guests.
