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.).

South AfricaThe current Reserve understandably offers limited exposure to game in context -- with expansion plans shared however, this should put Duiker up there with the best in the area. Duiker anyway presents as an excellent place from where to base oneself for other attractions in the area.
Evening meals were superb, as was the breakfast fare. Staff are extremely guest-centric in everything they do, from admin, through cleaning staff, to the game drive & game walk hosts (specifically Sifiso) -- friendly and professional at all times.

South AfricaWe had the most wonderful stay at Duiker Game Lodge. Such lovely staff. Warm and welcoming hospitality at its best!! The meals were top-notch and plentiful. We saw a good variety of Game on all our game drives and Sipiso, our guide, was very knowledgeable about not only the Game, but also the trees, birds and other points of interest. We highly recommend this lodge, and we will most certainly be back in the near future.

United Arab EmiratesNot a big deal, but unfortunately as the lodge is in a smaller reserve adjacent to Hluhluwe they don't have the Big 5, only common antelope - but game drives in Hluhluwe Reserve itself can be arranged.
Beautiful quaint accommodation with lovely decor & finishings. Setting is very peaceful overlooking a lovely escarpment. All our meals were wonderful. Dinner in particular was really great - compliments to the chef! We loved the fact that it's a smaller lodge hence more boutique and quiet. Service was excellent, all the staff were very helpful and kind. The game drives were great, Sifiso was very knowledgeable and good fun!
