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 only thing I can mention (if I really have to nitpick), was the fact that the fantastic outdoor showers weren't very private, and was somewhat exposed to the other two units on the same property, and made it a bit awkward at times seeing the neighbors while showering.
We liked absolutely everything! This property is highly recommended. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to extend our stay by another day just to stay a bit longer. The property had absolutely everything that we needed and more. Beautifully appointed and clean. It felt like we were in the middle of the bushveld in a luxury lodge, and had frequent animal visitors that walked past the house. I would definitely recommend this property should you look for a place to stay in Hoedspruit. We cant wait to go back there again.

NetherlandsHoedspruit Wildlife Estate is next to main streets, an airport and trainrails, so don’t expect to be in the remote wilderness with no traffic noise. There is a huge kitchen with washing machine and dryer, but we really missed the dishwasher. Next to the main lodge are two small lodges occupied by other guests. It did not disturb us at all (their terrass faces another direction), but takes away the sense of privacy. The three bedrooms are all seperate from the main building and are not connected with each other, which is great for couples but might be an issue for those with small children.
This spacious lodge has a beautiful garden facing the Green Belt of the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate. As there is no fence around the garden (there is around the Estate), animals pass by regularly. Very good communication with the friendly maintenance team. Very nice braai area. Oudoor showers. Nice design. Next to a quiet street of the Estate. Excellent value for money.

PolandThis accommodation is a real gem. Situated within a park with wild animals, very comfortable and well-equipped rooms, pool and fireplace outside. Very close to the center of Hoedspruit where you can find nice restaurants and variety of shops. It's a pity that we booked the place only for two days ... I would like to add that the contact with the caretaker Sander was really great and the administration of the Wildheart Safari helped me to solve my problem - by accident I paid twice for the accommodation.

South AfricaThere is absolutely nothing we didn’t like about the property.
The bedrooms are everything!!! And the animals occasionally chilling with us by the braai area was just another highlight 🥹🥹🥹. The place is WELL maintained and I’d love to visit it for more than just a weekend, with a group of friends. It’s easy to access it and close to the Kruger gate for game drive.

United KingdomNot a negative, but a kettle for the stove during loadshedding could be useful
We have travelled around South Africa many times and this is one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed at. Comfortable, clean and super well equipped. Peaceful and relaxing, really nice place....can't fault! And spacious? 3 couples wouldn't get in each others way and there was only the two of us.. The whole Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate feels safe and secure, there's walking and cycling trails, and the occasional bit of wildlife knocking about (not as much as they would have you believe). Hoedspruit is a decent place too, handy for days out in the Kruger, or up in to the mountains. The Hat and Creek Restaurant is amazing and Sleepers Bar is also a good offering. I must mention Sander, the caretaker, just like the property he's one of the best. Responsive, helpful and a really nice guy. His team are also very efficient and friendly. Yes, we like this one!
