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 AfricaWe had a truly fantastic stay at The Nomads Den. The hosts were incredibly warm, responsive, and accommodating throughout our visit. One of the highlights for my kids was watching the game by the watering hole—they absolutely loved it. We also spotted quite a bit of wildlife around the house, which made the experience even more special. The surroundings were breathtakingly scenic and so peaceful. It was such a beautiful getaway, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

United KingdomI would suggest only one improvement which is mosquito nets.
This is a great place if you are looking for peace and quiet surrounded by nature. We loved spending time at the back of the house just watching animals passing by. We had a pleasure to see zebras, giraffes, antelopes, mongoose, warthog, birds etc. The place is a short drive from Hoedspruit in a fenced estate. We booked our stay with breakfast. It's worth mentioning that the host brings breakfast ingredients in the morning around 8:30 as and when agreed; in our case it was on day 1 and 4, but you can decide as you please. You will need to prep food yourself. You can also book your stay without breakfast. The villa is spacious and comfortable. There is a washing machine, it is filled with detergent, so no need to bring your own.

United StatesNomads Den really raises the bar on Hoedspruit properties. The standard set by the very personable hosts is second to none and the location in the reserve is exceptional. Comfort reigns throughout the home both indoors and out. Wildlife viewing right from the comfort of the lapa makes this place even more special. If you’re a bush enthusiast, yet want the comfort of being close to local amenities Nomads Den really is beyond measure. No doubt that we’ll be returning in the near future.

BelgiumThis would be actually pointing out some very tiny topics for improvement. - There are two (large) rooms each having their own bathroom. In one room the bathroom/WC is separated with a door, in the other room there is no door, shower and WC are just around the corner after a wall. I prefer a fully separated bathroom is this prevents humidity/odor from entering the room and gives more privacy. - Each bedroom has large windows looking at the porch/garden and they have mosquito windows; the living room however does not have a mosquito window; meaning you need to keep the main windows closed (unless you don't mind bugs in the house) - The description mentions the villa is along a river bedding; keep in mind this is a dry river bedding like most smaller streams in South Africa. Just a remark, not a negative item
Well, I travel a lot and this is one of the rare places where it is hard to find negative aspects. The venue is in a secure and beautiful wildlife estate with lot's of game that walks around at the property. So, when walking around or when sitting under the porch there is frequent visit of beautiful animals. The villa itself is clearly well-designed with all the latest and modern technology. Also, the design blends all perfectly and gives you a very luxurious feeling. Cleanliness is impeccable. Beds are very comfortable! Perfect airco inside, great WiFi, Sat TV, super modern kitchen, incl wine fridge, nespresso machine; laundry machine... all present. Thanks to the reverse osmosis water purification you have very clean water. The showers produce a lot of hot water and the available toiletries are of great quality. Outside you have a very large porch, with big dining table, comfortable lounge seats and swimming pool. The pool is not heated and not big enough to swim; but perfect to cool down a bit on hot days. Also available are a Big Green Egg and a big Weber BBQ for those who want to do a braai. We ordered a private chef and massage through Nomad Den and both were great value for money!

South AfricaThe nearby restaurants don’t match the luxury experience that one has at the accommodation. I understand that this is not the accommodation’s fault but it was hard to get a fancy place for dinner in town. We also struggled to get a nice place for a spa, mainly because the nearby lodges gave preference to their own guests. It would have been nice if there were optional cleaning services but for a cheaper rate.
It was the perfect quiet place for a good rest

South AfricaNone. Everything was perfect
Exquisite 2-bed luxury facility providing privacy whilst embracing the natural surroundings. Great setting for a romantic escape, weekend getaway with friends. Provides a balance between work and vacation (workation) if you are working from home but also want to have a vacation at the same time. Great internet facilities and overall luxury decor with attention to the finest detail.

NetherlandsIt was extremely hot in Hoedspruit during one day, but the AC and pool solved that quickly
The location of Nomads Den is excellent, situated right on a riverbed. Very private. The first giraffe was waiting for us when we got there.
