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.).

United Arab EmiratesWould be nice if the kitchen was a little bigger. It is only big enough for one person to be in there at a time, which isn't always ideal. Other than that, loved our stay and will be back.
Beautiful glamping tents. Very clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. It is isolated enough from the other tents so that it feels very private which we loved. My toddler loved the interaction with the various animals, from wildebeest to bushbuck. Great location. Only about a 15 to 20 min drive from crocodile bridge. Staff very helpful and sorted any issues we had with immediate effect.

South AfricaWe liked our rooms which were very clean and the beds were comfortable. The Kitchen had everything we needed from air fryer to spoons. We enjoyed our very own pool with the outside shower. We had all the privacy we needed. The stuff was very friendly and professional. Not forgetting the animals that kept visiting us, we got to understand and appreciate them more.

South AfricaTowel cleaning could be done more frequently. The private pools were not as clean as the main pool.
Excellent front office service. The units are very clean. Very friendly housekeeping staff. We liked that the tents are positioned in a way that makes everyone feel like they are home away from home. The WhatsApp group is a great initiative in keeping us informed and knowing that help is always just a text away. The person responsible for it is also super friendly.🙏🏿💯

South AfricaAbsolutely nothing.
The accommodation is absolutely stunning and surprisingly spotless for a bush getaway. The tents are luxurious yet the feeling of being immersed in the Kruger culture is not lost. Waking up to the wildlife and having them surround you in such a quite confidence is exhilarating. The staff, especially Tanya, is an absolute delight. We will definitely be returning for years to come.

South AfricaFor me, the towels were just a bit too soft... didn't dry nicely. That's literally all🙂
Great service from arrival to departure. Tent was super clean and neat, as if it was built yesterday. We were treated like royalty up to the special request for a surprise at the tent. I've stayed in quite a few places in Marloth, and Jackelberry is definitely up there. Lots of animal sightings, they practically sleep next to the tent hahahahahaha. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend 👌
