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.).

BrazilFirstly, upon entering the reception, you come across a house built into the rock with a unique mix of wood and stones. Everything very well decorated with elegance. Very similar to what is on the website. Chef Paulos, who welcomes us, is an unusual human being, always very happy and laughing a lot, he is the one who prepares our meals, which are a feast to delight us. The food is fabulous, served in great portions and with lots of love and care. The main flavor is undoubtedly Paulos' laughs. The room is very spacious with magnificent decoration. Super comfortable bed and great air conditioning (but you can also sleep with the doors open). It features different environments to enjoy, with a bathtub and outdoor shower (at night, the starry sky is spectacular) very private Safari is a show in itself! As it is a private reserve, it is well worth the investment as it features several animals in the same location and is quickly accessible. There are two games per day (early morning and late afternoon). You can see all kinds of animals. There is a special area where the lions are, which was a unique experience (photos). The Ranger, who guides you on the Safari, is a fundamental part of being able to see all the animals up close. Our Ranger was Thomás, he was a show apart, in addition to having a lot of experience in locating animals, he has excellent English and incredible knowledge. Each game was a biology lesson. It was a unique and incredible experience! As a form of gratitude, I made this review as complete as possible of everything I enjoyed during this short stay (3 days that felt more like 1 week).

South AfricaThere was nothing that I did not like.
The directions to the lodge was precise, no trouble getting there. The moment we arrived we were welcomed with a Amarula cocktail and damp cloth to cool down The whole venue and our Leopard suite with adjoining jacuzzi and pergola where you could relax outdoors were amazing with views from the decks over the surrounding landscape . All the meals perfectly prepared by chef Paulus were very tasteful and delicious and enjoyed next to a fire in the boma (supper) or on the deck (breakfast). The game drives and sundowner/morning coffee with the very knowledgeable ranger Thomas were most enjoyable. We saw plenty game and learned a lot about the different animals and birds. After the game drive when you arrive at the lodge you are met with a cocktail and damp cloth to cool down Our room was well prepared by staffer Johan with curtains drawn and the air conditioner switched on and the suite was nice and cool when we retired in the evening after supper. We also had a nice swim in the clean swimming pool. There are only three suites which are far apart at the moment so the venue will never feel over crowded. A big thank you to our hostess Linda for making us feel so at home.
