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 AfricaYou have an impression of leaving in tent on the concrete parking, not the nature stay as we expected Guide doesn’t speak English enough to give the information about booked safaris, but enough to mislead you about it (fortunately I had a local phone and could call for the info) and claim 100 zar tips for the poor cleaning (we found someone’s bra in the tent). Showing us the way to restaurant was a big deal for him. Friends of ours front the next tent also didn’t like the cleaning quality. When we said the the tent zip is broken and there’s a whole in the net he said it’s ok and didn’t bother to repair

South AfricaWater was rarely warm in ablutions, so showers were not pleasant. 1 block wasn't working. Facilities were therefore in short supply. The camp staff however worked very hard to keep clean, neat and pleasant. Friendly staff.
Beautiful site, well set up. Bird life in camp was lovely. Skukuza is a awesome camp.

South AfricaOur tent was perfect. However the 2nd tent in our booking didn't have everything we had. We had a microwave and a stove - they only had a microwave. We had an aircon machine - the other tent did not so they were pretty hot!
Location was excellent. Tent was better than expected.

FrancePeople or staff went to our tent even if we have put the padlock... pasta, towel and a blanket were taken. So when we got back after the night game we were cold but the reception was already closed.
There are commodities and public bathrooms just 100m close to the tent. It's clean The tent is equipped and we had a little heater

FrancePleasant stay in Skukuza, the clamping formula Yebo Safari will allow you to change places in the Kruger park if you wish, tent comfort and everything available. Our guide Merriam has been attentive and funny throughout the stay, she has perfectly guided us to find the lion as well as the different animals of the national park, good advice on the places and information of the park. I highly recommend! We’ll be back!

South AfricaIts not at all a GLAMPING SITE . Its an old camping site with awful tents . You cannot swing a cat in it or stand upright. The ablution block was miles away and I could not share that minute double bed with my 40 year old son . I did request 2 single beds however this was not provided . The recption was dispicable . No one was at Skukuza reception to meet us or guide us . Never ever will I recommend this site to anybody . I booked myself into the Skukuza Lodge Hotel at extra expense to me and not budgeted for having already paid YEBO Safari R 4000 for this pitiful accommodation not worth R200

SlovakiaWe were in a tent in this camping. Everything was clean, there was even an AC in a tent, that was really helpful, as the temperature outside was around 30 degrees Celsius (in the evening). In a tent was also a refrigerator, table, chairs and some place for storage - like a full-equipped tent. It is let´s say in the center of Kruger National Park - really great location for some adventures, cause a lot of the most interesting animals are commonly found around this area (lions, leopards, hyenas, elephants, ....). Also food in the restaurant in Skukuza is really tasty for a good prize. Surely recommend it.

Who could ask for more? A well-kitted out tent with aircon, crockery, cutlery, fresh clean linens, etc., it was a wonderful experience staying here. We were located under the trees not 20 metres from the pool and a just a mere 25 or so further to the Skukuza train restaurant and coffee shop with its never-ending flow of frozen cappuccino, the perfect thing for a sweltering summer afternoon in the Kruger Park.

South AfricaThe bedding smelled. BAD!! There was only one towel and there were broken glass on the tent floor. The two tents were allocated by a person that hopped into our car and did not know the directions to the tent. We got lost twice.
Not much. This is not a camp on its own like the idea they are selling. This is random spots within the Skukuza rest camp between other campers and random tents.

United StatesVery pleasant stay - everything was extremely clean (for a tent, of course), in a nice quiet area in central Skukuza in between the Shop and Train. If you want to camp on your Safari but are flying in and don't have a tent etc., this is a good option. Location also had good cell phone service, which is usually questionable in Kruger. The manager, Merriam, was very pleasant and responsive as well!
