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.).

TurkeyThe only thing I can say is that we visited in July, and the evenings were actually really cold. It would be nice to have an electric heater or something similar in the room at night.
Everything was just perfect! The food was cooked by five different chefs and each dish was amazing. The lodge has a great location, so the game drives were super enjoyable. The staff were all so lovely, warm and helpful — we felt really well taken care of. The rooms were spotless and had everything we could possibly need. We had such a wonderful time here — thank you for making it so special!

A full fledged 5* experience in the middle of the wilderness (Maara). Dominic and his team were very accommodating to all our needs and also comped us upto a better room and mostly a private safari and dining as we were honeymooning. Special mention to Moses and David, the restaurant managers and their team including Ben, Reagen, Hezron, Kelvin and all others. My wife is vegetarian and they went out of their way to make sure she was looked after and had plenty of delicious options. Chef David made every meal special and Moses and his team make sure everyone is well fed! Our safari guide, Danson left no stone unturned to show us all that the Maara had to offer. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife there, quick facts and ofcourse his driving over the rugged surrounds. All in all, the experience was very catered to our needs and we could not have asked for a more memorable stay!

Belgium- A bit expensive during high season (but probably the price for exclusivity) - The bathroom should be renovated
- Kindness of the staff - The fact that everything is included in the rate (meals, drinks, game drives, airstrip transfers…) - The space in the room - The very well organised game drives - Architecture of common spaces - Quality of the food

Outstanding, exceptional safari experience, that beats all possible expectations and make you feel privileged with private and tailored service from the first arrival moment till leaving this paradise. Highly welcoming, hospital and professional personnel that made it reality. If any doubts and tons of research you made - don’t waste your time. It is simply worth it, every penny. Highly recommended

United KingdomJustna small observation is that the memorial tree planting spoils the setting. Instead of plaques there could be small numbers and lists of the tree type, donor and message available to those that are interested- to make it more like a park than a cemetery.
We loved our suite with its own plunge pool overlooking the River- all 200sqm of it! The staff were excellent, from Kennedy quietly arranging surprise events for us and facilitating every request, through the guides and trackers to the dining and cleaning staff - all professional and well trained. Food exceeded our five star expectation. All facilities were meticulously clean and well maintained. All inclusive meant just that - no surprises like other lodges we have been to. The massages were the best we've had in Kenya. Thank you all so much, we look forward to returning.

United KingdomIt would have been helpful to have been on check in to have been given a clear idea of the options available. EG we only found out from another couple two days in that it was possible to have a ‘bush breakfast’ rather than eat at the restaurant. This alternative option was very good, not least because it extended the length of the morning safari
The rooms, communal areas, food and staff were all excellent. Our guide (Eric) was exceptionally knowledgeable.
