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.).

United StatesIt was ant season, so had some tiny visitors, but nothing can be done when you live among our tiniest of friends..
The house was terrific! It was inside the gates of the park so lot's of animal visitors, but nothing dangerous. The place was clean, and had amenities that made it very comfortable. The host was terrific as well. Very attentive and great communication.

South AfricaA few lights didn't work, specifically the outside shower one as it would have been great to shower out doors at night too.
All the comforts of home. The wild life was special. Very comfortable with Aircon, 2 showers and a bath with a dishwasher, microwave and DSTV. Fire wood was provided.

Clean and comfy. Great braai facility when it rains or an open bit to sit around. Feels like you are in the bush with limited sight of others around. Fully air conditioned for warm summer nights.

I love the fact that everything was exactly as it was in the picture. The estate is so safe and beautiful. The animals passing by, the lighting of the house was amazing. The private splash pool a cherry on top and where it's located is so private and it's quiet. The most amazing caregiver Sander wow now that's top notch service. She even sent us places to visit wow

South AfricaHowever, for maintenance purposes, the thatch roof needs to be maintained or fumigated because there are drain fly larvae dropping from the roof. We found this mainly on the kitchen top and bedrooms.
We enjoyed our stay at your place, we had everything we needed, and It felt like home. The lodge has spacious rooms, beautiful furnishes, and well decorated.

NetherlandsJust: wow! We loved staying at the Giraffe Lodge! The setting, in the wildlife estate, as well as the outdoor area and the more than complete kitchen made it a great stay. We had 2 bedrooms, 2 baths (1 ensuite), which was perfect for our family of 4. We definitely recommend and would love to stay again. Bonus: if your lucky you'll see the giraffes on your morning walk.
