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.).

AustraliaJust be aware that the self contained house is not walking distance from main lodge (lodge staff transported us to & from the lodge for meals etc). No extractor fans in the bathrooms,
Host responded quickly and helpfully to all contact. Very high quality everything. Lovely staff. We stayed in the house, but ate dinner & breakfast at the main lodge - both meals were very good & generous. Pool & common area at main lodge are large & amazing! Ideally suited to self driving tourists (although we weren’t, & relied on Thandolwami for transfer from a lodge 1.5 hrs away)

South AfricaThe location is superb, quiet environment. The sounds of the birds in the morning. Bucks come through to the waterhole to drink water every now and then.
We had a self catering option, however at the time of the booking, you are offered a breakfast option at the main lodge at an additional cost. The staff was friendly on arrival and checked again if we will be needing the breakfast option or not.

South AfricaThere is nothing we did not like
Our recent stay at Thandolwami was an absolute delight, characterized by exceptional service from booking to checkout. The owner’s attentiveness and friendliness during the reservation process set a positive tone, and their warm welcome upon arrival was a testament to their commitment to guest satisfaction. We enjoyed the serene ambiance and contemporary style of the lodge. The breathtaking views from the main swimming pool (I must say the biggest one indeed) a touch of luxury, complemented by impeccable cleanliness. We could not fault anything else. Throughout our stay, the staff's dedication to ensuring a comfortable experience shone through. The bed was super comfortable soft and perfect. My wife did not complain about the food and that was a first for me 😅 I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and top-notch service. A big shoutout to Lusanda, Tshepo, Lucas, Nikiwe, Paulina 🥰 Yvonne., Not forgetting Mufasa, Bimbo, Princess,Joja, and Bhebhe. We extremely felt at home 🏡.

South AfricaThe hosts and staff of Thandolwani were very friendly and made us feel welcome at all times. A special surprise was the 'Dinner in the Bush' on Old Years Eve. We came back rested, thanks to the peace and quiet of the location of this lodge.

South AfricaThe view in front of the pool towards the fence can do with a bit of landscaping( e.g lawn and pavement)
Their food was deliciously prepared. The nature there, the exotic views, Game drive was excellent. Their pool is clean and refreshing, and you get to view animals while in the pool. The staff is supper friendly, helpful and welcoming.

South AfricaA most restful place. We had the best New Years weekend ever: a 5* bush Braai and a relaxing New Year's Day with full catering for the guests. The owner was always on hand with full personal attention. What a reception when we arrived: assistance with the wheelchair, a welcome drink and a high-class snack fit for a king. The facilities are high class quality, structurally, electronically and digitally, maintenance and upkeep as well as cleanliness of the property is outstanding. The nightdrives were magic!

South AfricaI can't think of anything
We had an absolute fabulous time at Thandolwami. We stayed in the Bush House which was outside the main lodge area. It was incredibly peaceful. There was a small water hole nearby and game would come visit. We had our own beautiful pool. We went on a day and night game ride. On the 31st of December they held a bush braai for the guests that wanted to join. We went along and it was fantastic! Really a fabulous way to end the year! We will most definitely visit again. All of us had a super time. Oh, and lastly the whole place is run on solar, so no load shedding which is a major bonus!!

United KingdomThe accommodation was lovely and very original and had a great atmosphere. The lodge had a watering hole which brought a selection of animals to it each day, we were also very lucky to be allowed to accompany the owners on the daily patrols. The family that own the property live on site are incredibly helpful and certainly went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, we had a very enjoyable stay.
