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.).

We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience at the African Flair Lodge. Alet was very helpful with booking our safaris and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The accommodation is beautiful and the private location inside the wildlife reserve didn’t disappoint. I would recommend this to any couple who want a private, romantic and unforgettable experience.

This place is beautiful, out of this world. Our stay at African Flair Boutique and Safari Lodge was so amazing. The place exceeded our expectations, I have never seen any place decorated like this place, perfect for couples, luxurious and very pleasant, private and peaceful. Good value for money, will recommend this place any day. It’s a 10/10 absolutely no doubt. And the host is so humble, helpful and very kind.

South AfricaA well curated experience. The place is so well designed to the last detail. It is the best luxury boutique experience hands down. After being here everywhere else looks basic. The host is warm and if personalised experience is what you are looking for, this is the place. Service top notch, food and amenities world class. The open stars gazing room/balcony was a special surprise.

We weren’t sure where to stay in Hoedspruit, but the reviews for African Flair Boutique Lodge truly speak for themselves – and now we completely understand why. Our experience here was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into what felt like a serene oasis, with every corner designed to make you feel both at home and completely spoiled. The room itself was immaculate – spotlessly clean yet filled with thoughtful, personal touches that made it feel so warm and inviting. Alet, our host, is a truly magical soul. Her energy is pure, nurturing, and unforgettable. She pours love into everything she does – and it shows in every detail of the experience. The presentation of every meal was exceptional – beautifully plated, fresh, and full of flavour. Every breakfast was a work of art, and honestly some of the tastiest food we've ever had. But the real highlight was our engagement dinner, which Alet turned into something straight out of a dream. She designed the entire space with candles, flowers, and the most breathtaking layout across the property – creating an atmosphere that was intimate, romantic, and unforgettable. It was beyond anything we could have imagined. Alet also went above and beyond with organisation– from booking trips to Moholoholo, the Panorama Route, and a visit to the elephant sanctuary, where the journey back became even more unforgettable as we were lucky enough to see three male lions in the wild. A moment we’ll never forget. Alet even prepared us a full breakfast for our Panorama trip, beautifully packed in a picnic basket. She also went to the trouble of giving us some restaurant recommendations, all of which were absolutely delicious. Falling asleep under the stars on the top deck, listening to hyenas in the distance, and enjoying the seamless transition from outdoor adventure to indoor comfort in our own private lodge made this experience so unique.

She gave us the greatest experience with her amazing hospitality, always smiling and making sure we are well taken care of. The place is absolutely stunning , from the entrance to the rooms, everything was so well decorated and well designed with a luxurious and modern style. The food was a cherry on top, always well prepared and with exotic. She organised the most romantic dinner under the stars This place definitely gives you more than what you pay for It was our mini "BALI" holiday with a South African touch.

Where to begin - I've stayed at my fair share of luxury hotels around the world but African Flair Lodge tops all of them. The huge size of the property for just one couple, the extremely unique and beautiful decoration, immaculate attention to detail and most importantly the hospitality is just unmatched elsewhere. From the moment you step into this property you can tell this is not just a commercially ran boutique hotel, this is a project that the host has poured her heart and soul into. The entire stay experience was so comfortable, so personal and sooooo special. I really look forward to come back!

PolandI can’t imagine anything one may not like about this property
We travel a lot and have had a lot of experiences with luxury accommodation but honestly nothing beats African Flair! This is our favorite place in the world! The place is stunning, incredibly tastefully decorated, the space that you have to yourself and the privacy of the place is amazing. The bedroom is incredible, the bathroom is out of this world, the pool is wonderful, the attention to details is incredible. The design of the place is stunning! The location of the place is within a Wildlife Estate, so you can see some animals roaming around as you drive or… take an outdoor shower! But what sets this place apart from everywhere else is the Host and her passion for making your stay a wonderful experience. Nothing is too much trouble, she is incredibly kind and nice and devoted to make your stay unforgettable! We are surely coming back soon again and this time we plan to stay much longer!

The lodge itself is unique and stylish, blending authentic safari charm with modern comforts in a way that feels both luxurious and inviting. Every corner of the property exudes character and a refined sense of style that sets it apart from any other. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast prepared each morning by our hostess, Alet. The menu featured a delightful array of fresh, local ingredients, and her culinary skills shone through in every dish. Coupled with her friendly appearance and extremely impressive hosting skills, breakfast became a much-anticipated part of our 2 days stay.
