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 KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay at Zuurberg, and cannot recommend the place enough for anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing place to stay near Addo Elephant Park. The surroundings of the property are gorgeous, nestled in the mountains, and the property itself is also beautiful. Our bedroom looked just like the photos and was very comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. Customer service was impeccable and we felt welcome and well looked after from arrival. Alexandra was superb and helped us not only with information about our stay but also with extra tips for our ongoing journey. All the staff were lovely and always ready to help. We also did a whole day game drive and an elephant encounter, both experiences organized by the property and both excellent. Zuurberg was fantastic and we look forward to coming back!

NetherlandsThe room we had is a bit dated, so is the major area but it also gives it a very charming warm feeling. More a matter of taste.
The staff was a 10/10!! They were amazing. They really gave us that family feeling and accommodated everything around our 2 boys. While dinner was at 7, they arranged food for them at 5. The pool is beautiful and the garden is very big, kids loved running around. There is a playground and we saw monkeys early morning.

South AfricaWe had a tree branch scraping on the room roof during winds which was pretty noisy - pruning the branches would resolve this.
The meals were excellent, the place is idyllic with some amazing views over the Addo Elephant Park, and we really enjoyed hiking the Porcupine Trail on the property and seeing some Sable antelope close up. Overall, the staff, service and facilities were excellent.

South AfricaIt’s a bit old style, like a trip back in time. The WiFi is quiet weak and the off road drive to the lodge is quiet long (20 km from Addo main gate)
The Lodge is in the middle of the mountains, has a kids playground and a pool. You can safely hike there. The Christmas Dinner was made with a lot of effort.

Switzerland- No taxi service to airport (no uber or booking.com booking for return way possible) finally reception found private tour operator for 5.30 am which was very expensive (2.500 Rand/more than flight from Cape Town) - No internet in rooms - Furniture a bit dated - Garden towards way to bungalows a bit blank (mostly grass) - Bungalows have English style furniture / would love more a bit more African deco
- Great addo safari tours with guide Langton who went above and beyond to find animals for us - Very good buffet (breakfast and dinner) - Excellent massage spa treatment from Nicole - Staff friendly / room spacious / hot water / very comfortable bedding / very clean - Beautifil pool area with a view - Beautiful garden behind the spa (a bit hidden / found it only after Nicole told me)

South AfricaThe hot water not working as described in the morning was a challenge. We know south African circumstances are difficult, but would appreciate it if it is already limited to work when it says it will be on. The water for the 3 days we stayed never reached more than luke warm status.
This is one of my favourite places in South Africa. Always a joy to travel here. The food is outstanding. The rooms are spaceous with little treats like underfloor heating. The game drives in Addo is an absolute treat, with outstanding sightings. The views from the room is breathtaking.
