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.).

BelgiumThe villas and rooms are super nice, the grounds were a bit messy since there are expansion works going on.
Location is top, just outside of Kruger, and overlooking the Crocodile River. At night, hippos were grazing down our terrace, just 10 minutes away. Unforgettable.

South AfricaThe property is on the river bank, it was amazing to see all the animals pass and graze right in front of you. Easy access to the crocodile bridge. We were surprised that the staff came to come and clean the next day. Definitely a bonus. We can’t wait for the renovation to be done and will definitely will be back. The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to courier a bag back that we forgot in the unit.

BrazilThe room clearly needs updates (old fridge and stove, no microwave), but pay close attention: there are dozens of spiders on the ceiling inside the accommodation and some on the floor (every day). They clearly don't pest control this place.
The location is excellent, right at the entrance to Kruger Park via the Crocodile Bridge.

United KingdomThe paths were not very well lit and in some places the path was slippery. However I can see work being done on the site and I'm sure this will be addressed
We absolutely loved the place we stayed in. The views were amazing and we will definitely be back again for a longer visit.

Location & Setup Preferred the log cabins on the first night to the cottage on the last night. How friendly and helpful reservation and check in lady was.

South AfricaThe aircon in one of the rooms wasn't working, which made it a bit uncomfortable.
Scenery is just beaitiful! Relaxing, easy to connect with nature. Staff (I think it was Leo) went out of his way to be accommodating, working later than usual as our arrival was delayed. And all while being friendly and helpful.

United Kingdom1. The shower worked poorly - hot for about three minutes and then ice cold 2. Unit is a bit dated in terms of "old" bathroom sink and toilets 3. Our TV did not work for about three days, but the maintenance team tried hard to resolve, which they did in the end 4. Lack of outdoor lighting in the evening. 5. No air conditioning in the common area I.e. lounge and kitchen. A bit stifling with outdoor temps in the 30⁰C.
Staff at reception, and the cleaning and maintenance staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. Being at the doorstep of the Kruger was convenient and safe for the night time trails. Views of the river were heavenly with elephants right in front of the room. Great views of hippos everyday. Stayed at Inyati. Unit was spacious and comprised of all the bits we needed. Outdoor seating and barbecue area was nicely furnished and provided a warm family environment to gather throughout the day. I loved the unit being cleaned everyday and clean towels, a nice touch. Beds were comfy and the unit was clean. Would return when shower is sorted.

South AfricaIt was very hot, and working fans could've improved the stay. The bathroom looked very dirty even after they cleaned it. It needs to be upgraded.
You are literally by the Kruger National Gate, making accessing the park any time you want more straightforward. The views outside are beautiful; you can see various animals by the river. We saw a lot of Hippos and Elephants. The room was good but had a few issues, such as the loud fans and one not working correctly.
