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.).

United KingdomWe liked everything!
We loved our stay at the Green Elephant! Unfortunately we only had one night but everything was fantastic and the perfect last stop after a dusty, long drive and perfectly located for the international airport, and a little outside the madness of Lilongwe. The staff were all great, the dinner one of the best we had over 3 weeks in both Malawi and Zambia (as was the breakfast). The grounds are lovely, full of birds and the pool really nice. The rooms were huge and beautiful and the decor and pool table area were all so tasteful and not over the top. We can fully recommend and would love to stay here again.

AustriaThe waiter could have explained the options for dinner a little bit better. We basically just read what was written on the wall. Also they cook in the open kitchen could have given us a little more information on what he could prepare for us, especially since they were not busy at all. Maybe the management could teach them a little bit of guest relation and welcome culture
Breakfast was excellent in a beautiful setting overlooking the garden. For us it was a quiet retreat and a wonderful surprise.

United KingdomEverything was priced in USD (the room cost and the dinner we ate). But when it was time to pay they converted the USD total to MWK. This was done rapidly on a calculator; I only noticed later that the exchange rate used was 7.5% worse than the prevailing rate. As such, the actual charge to my account was $38 higher than the USD total.
Gorgeous place to stay; extremely stylish (the rooms and the entire property). The suites were very large and fantastically equipped, with ample indoor and (private) outdoor space. Very comfortable bed. Great attention to detail (e.g. bug spray provided).

IndiaThe dinninf options could be improved. The menu was quite limited and the food was relatively expensive for what was offered. Given the small size of portions and lack of nearby restaurant.
What I liked most about the property was its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. With only four rooms it felt very private and exclusive. The rooms are spacious and offered beautiful garden views,surrounded by plenty of trees. The quiet location made it a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the nature.

The communal spaces are beautiful too. The team are very helpful and attentive whilst also giving privacy. The grounds are exquisite. This was exceptional value for money. Loved it.

United KingdomNo bath salts for the stylish stand alone bath. The bubble bath did the trick and the rain shower had strong pressure. Enjoyed the lighting and wooden shutters, there is a sense of understated luxury in the clean lines and scale of the room.
Tranquil, luxurious with great spaciousness and attention to detail in the design. Excellent chef. Lovely pool outside my room and mature verdant gardens. Outdoor living room of huge scale, really beautiful space to work in.

United StatesAccess to town for those without a rental car would have been nice. I didn't feel safe walking on the roads alone. For someone like me who likes to exercise there were not any options other than a small pool.
If you are looking for a peaceful, calm and serene stay then this place is perfect. As a solo traveler staying for 5 nights it was too much...next time I would split my time between one of their other properties and this one
