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 AfricaIf I were to nit picky I would pass onto the owners that perhaps the downstairs couch needs a re puff as the seating cushions are becoming thin and one can end up sitting on a wooden plank.
The lodge is ideally.situated and the views are stunning. The lodge has beautifully appointed bedrooms en suite. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils. Farouk was at his attentive best.

South AfricaNothing at all
I loved everything about the lodge, it is big and spacious, very beautiful, loved the decor, the rooms, the bathrooms, living spaces. We were 6 people, 2 sets of couples and 2 kids. Farouk took great care of us from the moment we arrived and explained things clearly. We even tried canoeing for the first time and had fun, the walks to the top of crocodile hill and view point were amazing. Valley lakes lodge is a place to be away from the busy life. I was happy with the lack of phone network cause we could detach from the "noise".

South AfricaI wouldn't say i did not like this but we struggled using with the wifi. This was a bit of an inconvenience because there is no signal in the area so we were depending on the wifi. We had bad weather so we worried about our cars not being under cover.
I liked everything, especially the interior and the view from our room. The house was in great condition, it suited our little family. I also liked the remote location, one is really away from the noise.

South AfricaBugs attracted to the light, but it's not a major problem. Some of the bedding was not clean.
The house is modern, and spacious and exceeded all expectations. The area is both remote and peaceful for a weekend away from the city. The decor is warm and inviting, and the kitchen was very well stocked. Check- in process was very simple and we were well accommodated throughout our stay.

South AfricaThe cottage was impeccably decorated and super comfortable. Cooking in the kitchen, dining at the large dining table and sipping on wine in the upstairs space with a beautiful view of the dam perfected our days. Farouk manages the property well and is knowledgeable about the area and suggested many hiking trails. We enjoyed the space so much and did not want to leave - this is definitely a home away from home and the perfect space to recharge.
