How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe staff was really helpful and it’s nice that coffee, tea and water is provided. The pool was good and the surroundings are nice! The bed is really good and the atmosphere is great! The 4 dogs living at the property are so friendly.
There is a lot of barking some nights, coming from the neighborhood

Verified reviewBeautiful accommodation set in beautiful grounds. Easy to speak to staff using a walkie talkie provided. Out of town so it was beautiful and so quiet, we heard birds and monkeys outside which we loved, yet easy to get an Uber or bolt. Lots of towels provided. Kitchen well stocked with essentials. Staff were so helpful and friendly. We loved our stay here.
We liked that it was outside of town but you do need to use Uber as walking is not an option, uber to the nearest carrefour and mall was like €2.

Verified reviewVery nice garden and chalets with enough space and the ability to cook.
While the name says ‘heated pool’ the pool was quite cold. Next to that, we had booked an apartment with one double bed and two single beds. However, when we arrived we got two chalets both with double beds. This was not what we had booked. Nevertheless the accommodation was fine and we enjoyed our stay.

Verified reviewBeautiful landscape. High security. We recommend to opt for the flat upstairs next to the swimming pool, big and nice interior design (rather than the garden view, which was made of 3 separate lodges, not so practical)
We arrived around 6 PM : we had no assistance and no leaflet in the room about the usage of the various equipments in the villas, nor to order food (no internal food service)...For one night, I would recommend opting for a serviced hotel

Verified reviewI like the location, it’s really a jungle oasis. But, the pool wasn’t heated, the jacuzzi was not cleaned, the shower wasn’t the best, the pillows were not comfortable and there was a bad smell in the apartment.

Verified reviewThe house and pool area is absolutely beautiful, the location seems very safe with security and gates to keep it secure.
The only issue is getting picked up from here. We wanted to go out for dinner and three ubers refused to come and get us, nor could we get a food delivery. The host did give us a phone number for a private food delivery person, but we feel that the difficulty in getting ubers to come out to the property should have been more explicitly said to us, as we spent the evening hungry and annoyed, which is frustrating because it's such a beautiful location. Also, we understand it's a jungle oasis, but there were ants in the kettle when we went to use it.
Hi Lauren, thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you had a great experience at our place. Our guests usually don't have any trouble getting around with Uber and are using it quite frequently. Perhaps it was on that specific day that you were unlucky or perhaps there was a city-wide event which impacted the availability of Uber drivers - all of which I unfortunately could not control. It is unfortunate that because of the Uber situation you couldn't give us a higher review, especially since you seemed to have enjoyed our accommodation very much! Nevertheless, it was a pleasure hosting you and you are more than welcome to come back anytime :)

Verified reviewI liked the people very nice. Everything was perfect but the tiny pots. It would be nice to have bigger pots for cooking. The caretakers were not aware of my booking but were able to resolve the issue within 5mins. Also, it get's really cold at night so carry warm clothing. The heater helped though otherwise we would have frozen. I enjoyed the whole experience. Wish I had arrived earlier to enjoy the pool which is indeed heated :)

Hi Yuki, thanks a lot for your review and I'm very glad you had a great experience with us. My apologies for the confusion about your booking. I was on a long-haul flight on the day you made the booking so I could not notify the on-ground staff in time about your arrival, but I'm glad everything got resolved quite quickly. You are more than welcome to come back anytime to enjoy the pool some more :)

It is hard to have access to food.
Hi Veronica, thanks for your positive feedback! :) I'm sorry to hear you had a hard time finding food options in the area. We have now created a new digital guidebook which will be provided to each guest after a booking is made, which includes all the necessary information regarding the best restaurants in the area, best options for takeout and which food delivery apps to download that deliver to our place. Thanks again for your review and we look forward to hopefully host you again in the future :)

Verified reviewLoved the quiet and how immersed in nature it felt
It took us an hour and a half (instead of 30 minutes) to find the property. our taxi driver asked people in the local area, none of which had ever heard of the hotel. It turned out that the name on the sign was Anga Africa, which had not been mentioned once on the Booking.com page or our booking confirmation. Please ensure directions are more precise for future guests as this was very stressful.
Hi Emma, thanks for your review. I'm very glad you had a great experience with us. I'm sorry that it took you longer than expected to reach our place. Indeed, our place is also called Anga Afrika as there used to be a tented camp located on the property with the same name. We use the google maps location of Anga Afrika to give directions to our guests as this is the easiest way instead of writing out directions manually. We took your feedback on board and have now created a comprehensive digital guidebook which includes all the information, including google maps/uber directions as well as written out directions which can be provided to local taxi drivers :) Thanks again for booking with us and we would love to welcome you back again soon! :)

Verified reviewThis place was amazing. Lush tropical private courtyard containing two houses each one bedroom and a central house with modern high end furnished living room, and kitchen. Decks for outside dining or coffee on each little house. Gorgeous heated pool in a secure gated property with 24 hour security. Central to many attractions. It was truly an oasis!
Everything was perfect!
