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.).

CanadaMy room had a small patio area but there was some construction , grinding and banging nearby so I could not relax near my room .
The morning game drive was amazing ! Joel was so welcoming at the hotel and Gabriel the driver of the morning drive was excellent - pointing out the animals and letting me take time to get all the photos I wanted as I was solo on the drive . The meerkats wander around the pool area and even hopped up on the lounger beside me . They have a resident Oryx and you can see kudu, ostrich and a few other animals while lounging around the pool. The dinner was amazing - food was tasty and so much selection .

Best Wildlife Experience Ever with Close Up Photography of Bruno and Grace (Their 2 Rhinos) and the Feeding of Their 5 Orphant Cheetahs. This was Even More impressive than any Encounter with Wild Animals I have Experienced in Tansania, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia in National Parks there and Private Game Lodges.A Special Thanks to Panda, my Nature Guide, For Using My Camera to Take Photos From Ground Level and Allowing Me to Get Off Our Jeep.Myself to Photograph the Rhinos.The Villa at the Farmhouse was Superb, so was the Breakfast and Dinner Experience.Did the Afternoon Combination Drive Twice ( Wildlife Spotting for 1,5 h, Cheetah Feeding 1h and Sundowner in the Dunes 0,5h) as Well as Cheetah Viewing in the Morning (1h) and the Morning Scenic Drive (2h), all 3 Tours Strongly Recommended.Staff was very Friendly as Well.

NamibiaThe rate for our room was highly overpriced. The chalet was old and in its years. No special extras for the „Exclusive Chalet“ we were supposed to received. The bathroom is really old, Maintenance needs to be done. The food is less than average. I ordered a vegetarian meal via email request and it was forgotten. The Chef Cook made a very nice plan B - the dinner buffet is not really a surprise. The breakfast buffet was really very simple and it was not filled up again after certain things were empty (cheese, cold meat, tomatoes, etc…)
Very nice location. Very friendly staff.
