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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomI loved everything.
This magical place was more than exceptional. If I could go above the rate of 10, it would be 20!! The place was wonderful, extremely clean and fitted out with the very best of everything , going from all the utensils, dishes pot and pans etc, I could not fault anything! The location was truly lovely and you felt as if you were in the bush with no one else around , as it is situated on a wildlife estate and all the houses on this 600 plus hectare estate, are very far apart and therefore very peaceful. Desiree was such a brilliant host and helped us with info re eateries, info on Kruger which roads to avoid, and so much more. Thank you, Desiree. You truly deserve your rating of 10! (20 !!). Many thanks 😊 🙏 .

South AfricaA Magical Escape in the Heart of Nature Africa House was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The home is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bedroom felt like a private retreat with its own en-suite bathroom. The real highlight was the peaceful bush setting waking up to birdsong and watching wildlife roam freely just beyond the patio was truly unforgettable. The outdoor area, with the pool and braai, made every moment relaxing and special.

South AfricaThere was nothing to dislike.
Our stay was incredibly comfortable—an ideal choice for an authentic bush experience. We were captivated by the beauty of the house, its cleanliness, and the excellent facilities. The hosts clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making sure our time at Africa House was nothing short of exceptional. We truly appreciated the attention to detail, from the high-quality bed linen and plentiful cutlery to the convenience of the ice maker, as well as the thoughtful provision of wood for the braai and bonfire. These little touches made our stay even more enjoyable. We loved listening to the sounds of nature and spotting the amazing wildlife that wandered by to say hello. Waking up to the symphony of the wild, enjoying a good cup of coffee, and immersing ourselves in nature was truly magical. Desiree, you were a fantastic host! We had a wonderful time, and two nights simply weren’t enough—we wished we had more time to soak in the serenity

MozambiqueWe spent an incredible three days over Christmas at Africa House in Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, and I cannot recommend this place enough. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a luxurious yet welcoming retreat, perfect for a family holiday. The house is absolutely stunning – a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home filled with beautifully handcrafted furniture. Every detail, from the high-quality linen and towels to the extensive collection of crockery, cutlery, and glassware, reflects exceptional care and taste. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with essentials one would need during a short stay and some of the best freshly ground coffee we’ve ever had at a rental property. The swimming pool and ice machine were wonderful additions, making our stay even more comfortable. One of the standout features is that the owner is a talented wildlife photographer, and the house is filled with breathtaking canvases of animals he’s captured during his adventures. Each piece adds to the atmosphere, creating a space that feels connected to the surrounding wilderness. What truly made our stay memorable were the personal touches. We each received a personalized Christmas biscuit, there was a bottle of wine waiting for us, and a beautiful poinsettia plant added the perfect festive touch. These thoughtful details made us feel so welcome and added to the magic of spending Christmas there. The wildlife around the house was incredible – warthogs and antelopes roamed freely around the property, and the birdlife was abundant. Waking up to the sights and sounds of nature made the experience unforgettable. The hosts were exceptional – warm, attentive, and committed to ensuring our stay was perfect. If you’re looking for a luxurious, tranquil escape surrounded by nature, Africa House is the perfect choice. We’re already planning our return visit!
