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.).

BrazilThere was nothing to dislike there. :)
This acommodation has excelled our expectations. It was unfortunate that for us it was only a passage, before arriving to Sabi Sands and our game drives. We actually arrived at the property after 8pm, knowing that we would leave at 8am of the next day, and regreting the fact that we wouldn't spend too much time in such a beautiful place. The property as a whole is a little piece of heaven, with it's own small animals - ducks, impalas, chickens, cats, dogs... - wondering around while you have your breakfast (must be reserved in pre-advanced and paid on the check-out), well cooked by the kind staff of the place. The room is beautiful, you can see that each corner was thinked and tried, with a wonderful decoration anywhere you put your eyes on. There is a bedroom/living room, with a bed - and the sheets, the pillows, the blankets - very soft and warm, There is a lot of space for luggage and stuff as well. You will also have a beautiful bathtub and an outdoor shower, a kitchen outside, and a beautiful and cozy wooden table to chill out, if you want. Amazing.

ThailandThe parking spaces are quite small so if you are in a 4x4 or a larger SUV type vehicle you will probably need to do multiple point turns to get out of the parking spaces and I'm not sure how complicated things might get if all the parking spaces were full.
Lovely accommodation in lovely grounds. You could easily spend more than two nights here exploring the offerings in the area. Really handy on the way into or out of Kruger and perfect for Blyde River canyon and Panorama route. Staff were really helpful.

A beautiful hidden location. The rooms are spacious with a comfortable and large bed. The kitchenettes are well equipped and provide what you need to make meals yourself. The garden is well maintained, peaceful, and beautiful. The pool is relatively small but feels like a small tropical pool in the bush. We experienced quietness and privacy during our stay.

South AfricaWe were there when it was 43 degrees celcius, although each room had very strong fans it didnt help with the heat. Aircons are recommended. Juice served during breakfast is a cordial, not natural.
Quite area. Very friendly staff. Unique accomodation, swimming pool set in a beautiful garden. Views of the mountains are gorgeous. Very close to Jessica the hippo interaction a must do bucket list once in a lifetime experience. Breakfast was really very good.

The lodge is very quite and in the middle of the nature, and still only 1-2 minutes drive from a supermarket and restaurant. We would definitely come back and recommend to anyone :)

BelgiumWe liked our little cottage. The cottages/houses are well placed in the tranquil green environment, among the trees and grass. Even though it was too cold to get in entirely, we had a nice moment chilling next to the pool and dipping our toes (and leggs) in. We had two great dinners and breakfasts on the terrace of the main building and particularly loved the braai which was taken care of by Louis, who was very welcoming and helpful overall. Big thank you!
