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 AfricaThe prices for cocktails and other alcoholic beverages is outrageous. Having a sunset cocktail for 2 in the restaurant is almost R400. We wanted to order breakfast for room service to enjoy on our deck and we were informed of a whole list of items that were not available so we were then not able to have breakfast which was such a let down. We had to find somewhere else to go for breakfast.
The staff were absolutely amazing. Very friendly and just a phone call away. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent and well priced.

PolandMy time there was too short. One day is not enough to really enjoy the hotel or the area. Next time will try to stay longer.
From the moment you arrive the service was excellent. You are met at the parking with a golf cart to take you straight to reception and the restaurant. Given a welcome drink on arrival and seats at the reception desk. Check in was effortless and as I had a lunch arrangement went straight to the restaurant and my bag was taken to my room. You are given a what's app number and anything you need can be arranged through that number. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the room was very comfortable and functional. The view was amazing. The breakfast was a great way to end the stay of a perfect stay.

South AfricaThe massages unfortunately weren't great, especially for the price. I also wasn't a fan of the head massage taking place on the bed, unfortunately the friction with my face in the massage bed caused a blister on my face.
The vegan chia breakfast pudding was delicious, we also loved the pap balls on the meat platter and the salmon english muffins are always a favourite. The WhatsApp communication is efficient and easy.

South AfricaThe sky rooms felt a bit small. We have stayed in the other rooms before and felt sky room is nice but could be a bit more spacious..I compared with other rooms. Could also do with a bath. Hot tub nice add, as that's why I booked room type..but was not hot...it was actually Luke warm..not hot at all. If this is the case thrn they need to make space in the room for a regualar bath tub. Shower was lovely and hot. Also, it would be nice if we could hear and see some animals around the lodge. If thry put larger game there like rhino maybe, Buffalo and lion and you could lay in your room at night hearing thr lions..that would be a game changer. But I know not all reserves aim is to have big animals. Even hyena..to hear that at night while looking at at the reserve would be amazing. Shower handle in room was coming loose. Did report it on checkout.
Food was exceptional, accommodation and view spectacular, and staff were brilliant. From thr warm welcome and butler from the porters, to the reception staff, and Waiters. All did an amazing job. The attention to detail, and communication, much of an improvement from when we were there last in 2018. Also lots more on offer. Booking.com value for money definitely, go for the half board option. Love that you can Whatsapp if you need anything at all. Very good.

South AfricaI couldn't soak in the bath because the plug didn't seal properly so the water kept disappearing. It's a natural pool so the bottom was a little slippery from the algae which is a bit weird.
Our room was spacious and private with a nice large deck area. The food at the restaurant was great. My husband loved his massage. The staff was so responsive, all our requests were handled promptly.

BelgiumThe pool was still closed for renovation (although they told me it would be reopened when I contacted them about 2-3w prior to my arrival). They offered an alternative though: a shuttle to the swimming pool on the other side of the domain. However this pool was not really inviting since it wasn't clean and without any staff available the vervet monkeys really take over the place.
Best bed & bathroom from my entire trip through South-Africa! The rooms are wonderful and so is the restaurant and all the staff I encountered during my stay. I had the package that included dinner & breakfast and every meal I had was delicious. The game drive was OK but not great, but I was happy to see some blesbok and enjoy the surroundings.
