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.).

The quietness of the lodge was outstanding. We had the family apartment to ourselves. We enjoyed our space without any interruption.

South AfricaThe camp is obviously set up for use by a group, even though as a solo traveler you are able to book only one of the accommodation units. There is only one shared dining table, one shared braai, all the seating is in the shared space..... So if there was more than one group in camp you will be forced to be sociable, whether you wanted to or not.
This is a nice bush camp that allows you to pretend you are roughing it in the bush, whilst still having all the basic comforts you may need. I was lucky enough to have the camp to myself, but I can see a group of friends having a great weekend here. Surprisingly good birding in camp. Friendly and helpful staff.

South AfricaWe lived everything but the train on occasion woke the kids and I would have liked some bushveld wood instead of buying wood from town.
I love the fact that you are totally surrounded by nature.

NetherlandsWe were the only guests, and were given a free upgrade to the chalet with private pool. The host and gardener were also very kind and helpful. We greatly enjoyed spotting smaller wildlife from the hide out during the sunset and sunrise, and the peace and quiet of the stay. During the night we were visited by a honey badger twice that tried to get into the cupboards and fridge, some excitement for sure!

Beautiful huts and friendly hosts. Got an upgrade because of availability and a hyena that was in the park currently. So, wildlife is close by, which is great!

South AfricaThere's no network coverage yet, there is a paper with emergency numbers should you need help. It is not possible to make a call. I know it is all about tranquility, please atleast have a wifi connection for emergency cases. We struggled with hot water, and I understand they using a donkey water warming process, can it be reliable please. Due to solar panels supplying power, the chalet had no iron in the room. You can only charge your phone, battery, cameras and laptop.
The accommodation was very clean and the staff kept on checking on us, that was great.

South AfricaFirst of all I didn't event sleep at that place, hence i sent emails to request a refund. The place was horrible that my holiday was a disaster. The beds are children's bed, toilets and bathroom outside the rooms, you must go out at night while you are in the bush. The worst scenario, the toilets are not covered its like a cow kraal. We have to go back to town to look for alternative accommodation. PLEASE HELP ME GET A REFUND EVEN IF IT MEANS I PAY A PENALTY I AM WILLING BECAUSE I DIDNT STAY THERE. I SEND THE LADY IN CHARGE A MESSAGE ABOUT THE SITUATION AND REQUESTED A REFUND, BUT SHE TOLD TO TALK TO BOOKING.COM, HENCE IM REQUESTING ASSISTANCE TO BE REFUNDED.
