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.).

Breakfast is overpriced and really bad. Better to go out somewhere to have breakfast or if you have a chalet have breakfast there. There are great places in Windhoek for breakfast and they are probably half the price.
Great place and excellent start for your 4x4 trip. Good rooms, clean, and good showers.

Unfortunately there was a big party/festival in the nearby stadium and it was so loud that we could not fall asleep until late night. Of course this is not the fault of the hotel, which in general was very nice.
The gardens are very nice, and the neighbourhood is peaceful and safe. The staff was very kind and the food at the restaurant was delicious.

Quite tired facilities- pool area in particular. Food was variable- decent burgers but pizzas unusual!
Good location out of town from Windhoek. Rooms were clean and had self-catering facilities if required (we didn't use). Staff very friendly. Loved the meerkats and mongooses!

I liked everything. No comments about what I did not like.
Arebbusch is a great place to stay at. I like the fact that I can have a self catering unit and enjoy the surrounds while preparing a barbeque. You are in the city but it does not feel like it when staying at Arebbusch. The restaurant offers great meals, service is fantastic and the beer on tap is served in a chilled glass! The pizzeria is a winner. The staff at reception was super friendly and helped to assist in making sure that I got a self catering unit. My chalet was clean, well equipped and the bedding was crisp and fresh!

- • Solo traveller

The breakfast could really be improved to match the Lodge's standard. The coffee is awful, the fruit salad consists mainly of apples - like airplane food. The presentation is dull and boring. Nothing looks fresh, no labels for the hot dishes.
The Arebbush Square is a lovely secluded area, with the swimming pool in the middle as a highlight. Security is excellent and one can feel very safe in this environment.

We had a pleasant stay at Arebbusch Travel Lodge. The chalet was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for the stay. The location is ideal, making it a convenient base for either starting or wrapping up a road trip in Namibia. The on-site restaurant was decent, offering satisfactory meals, though not particularly standout. Overall, a great option for travelers seeking comfort and convenience in Windhoek!
