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.).

AustraliaNo complaints. If you’re going in winter, make sure you pack warmly! The beds were warm but outside it gets very cold!
Our stay at camp gecko was brilliant! The tents were gorgeously placed hidden behind the mountain. Beds were super comfy and the tents were rustic in a wonderful way. The host was very helpful and accomodating - the braai kit was perfectly organised and tea in the morning at the Lapa was stunning. It was a great spot to sit and relax.

ItalyCamp Geko is a little treasure near Solitaire. It offers nice and cosy tented rooms in front of a spectacular view on the savannah. The room and bathroom were comfortable and tidy, We also had the 3 courses meal to do a braai/barbecue in our camp spot and the food was delicious! I highly recommend this camp!

South AfricaThe "donkie" needs a lot of wood to get it hot enough to take a shower. Take extra wood just in case.
Gecko Camp – where the wild Namibian savanna stretches out like nature's red carpet, and the sunsets look like they were painted by a show-off. The glamping tents are snug and comfy, with their own bathrooms (yes, a real shower, toilet and basin – no digging holes here!). At night, the Milky Way throws the ultimate starlit party overhead – and with zero electricity, you get front-row seats without a single lightbulb crashing the mood. Want dinner? Grab one of their grill packs and embrace your inner braai master. It’s beautifully quiet, blissfully remote, and just the right amount of wild.

FinlandPerfect place to stay between journey from Sossusvlei to Windhoek or Swakopmund. We stayed on one of the tents which was super nice and the view is simply amazing. Tents have indoor toilet and shower with running water and water can also be heated for a nice hot shower after day of hiking in Sossusvlei. No electricity at the tent, only a small lamp, which was no issue for us as we had portable lamps with us. There charging opportunity at the reception and also a micro shop where you can buy drinks, wood etc. For the price this is an absolute bargain compared to many glamping opportunities in Namibia.

Absolutely superb experience- our tented home opened every morning to a stunning African savanna vista. We had a waterhole on our doorstep, where we were able to see wild horses frolicking as the sunset. Sunrise, sunset and the sky of stars are something to behold. Camp Gecko provides a quiet space to absorb the beauty of Africa and Namibian. It is close enough to Solitaire, your one dtoo for all but also far enough to truly experience the African bush. Staff were amazing and their varied braai packs were greatly appreciated. A cannot recommend Camp Gecko enough. We will be back.

We loved how remote Camo Gecko was and how you are in the middle of nature amongst the Plains and mountains ! The experience of being right in the wild in these really cool safari tents was amazing. We wish that we stayed more than one night !! The owner is so lovely as well and gave us great suggestions!
