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.).

What a wonderful experience at Xanatseni. The lodge is small and intimate, with beautiful, spacious and clean rooms. The food was so delicious with a lot of variety 😋 we had some really great sightings with our ranger being very knowledgeable. All the staff where fantastic and we really felt at home and always looked after! Thank you Xanatseni for helping us celebrate our anniversary so perfectly!

SwedenSome problem with the wifi and air condition due to the load shedding and flooding, but nothing Xanatseni can be blamed for.
We had a wonderful stay at Xanatseni. Teneil, Ross, Sidney and all other staff were so welcoming and generous. Can highly recommend, and would definitely stay there again!

The hosts, Teneil and Joe, were amazing. They really went out of their way to create the perfect setting for me to propose to my girlfriend! The rooms were beautiful. The wildlife was a bit sparse, but the ones we saw were spectacular (for instance seeing 10 lions up close)!

Netherlandsthe gym is rather old and does not match the standards of the rest of the camp, but there seems to be plans to do something about that.
we had an incredible time at the Camp! Teniel, Ross and the entire team are so welcoming and caring, it could not be any better. Everything is taken care off, they always check with the guests if they have any wishes or requests (food). The rooms are being cleaned twice per day which is great as you need to rest a bit during the day due to the early wake up times for the drives. Food is great too which was very important for us, the menu changes each day, it is nicely planned and organized, also during the game drives with drinks and snacks. The game drives are of course the highlights for everyone: Ross and Sidney have so much enthusiasm and passion for it that makes every drive as if it was the first (even if you dont spot animals each time). We would always come again as we loved every moment of it! Thanks again to all of the team

Germanyif it comes to game drives, and i have done a lot the last years and i have seen a lot of guides, comparing to this, there is a lot to do about that. a lot. so, from now on, you and me check before, since how many years a guide is guiding, how he is dealing with people and so on. from now on, i will ask this every lodge before i stay there. if a guide is not able to tell you anything about an animals behavior, if a guide is not interested in conservation, treating a customer with respect or anything which is normal or talking frist with the customer where to go, tracking together and so on, i would say, skip it.
Klaserie is a nice game reserve. rooms are clean. food is ok. management is friendly. Ross is nice. its a nice place to relax, its very quiet.

United StatesVehicles not properly maintained paired with an inexperienced guide cost us our only quality leopard sighting while other lodge’s guests had a phenomenal sighting. Stion and Thaniel mean well but would benefit from additional training on how to interact with guests and wildlife. We were fed previously frozen chicken nuggets for lunch. Drinks were surprisingly not included during Sundowners. Lots of potential, but we left frustratingly disappointed and will not return.
Room was clean and beautiful and the grounds were peaceful. House keeping and Ross were lovely. Most of the meals were what you’d expect from a lodge experience.
