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 reviewFood, location
Too many and too intrusive dogs, the activities announced on the website (and in the catalogue displayed in the room) were not available.
This review is in stark contrast to other reviews. Why is that? I have two requests for my guests. Firstly, I ask that my dogs not be kicked or aggressively chased away. If there are fears from childhood that have not been overcome even in old age, I ask that you make this clear. My dogs have all come to me and have experienced enough cruelty from humans in their lives. Otherwise, please bear in mind that we are in Africa. Dogs help guests enormously by protecting them from snakes. Secondly, I politely request that you book activities in advance. Bushfires, poaching, and other things affect our everyday lives at certain times of the year. Accept Africa as it is.

Verified reviewA little paradise In the middle of nowhere, a birder paradise, with beautiful views and gardens with trees. The pool was cleaned every day. You can easily walk in the countryside The room was big, clean, with a nice terrace and a comfortable bed. The food was AMAZING ! Ariana cooks mainly with ingredients that they farm. All the staff is incredibly nice. They also have 4 very sweet dogs
The only thing (it’s a detail) is that the pillows are to big for me

Verified review- Great Location not too far from Windhoek but still remote with great nature around - nice garden and clean pool - amazing views - dinner was delicious (but a bit expensive) - homemade bread and banana bread was delicious - very good internet! - good wine selection
- no AC - no pool towels - the bed was small (only 1,40m for 2 people) and the mattress was very uncomfortable - bathroom door was squeaking

Verified reviewJoint dinner of all guests, quiet location within easy reach of Windhoek. Helpful staff. Romantic decorations when lightning caused lengthy power cut.
Some rooms had a valley view, but ours was facing the swimming pool.

Verified reviewHostess Ariane and her team are very friendly, the dinner - 3 courses - was delicious, as well as the breakfast. Before breakfast you could order a coffee or tea in front of your room door at a time of your choice - great service! The location is great, in the middle of beautiful, quiet nature and still only about 35 km from Windhoek, ideal for the beginning or end of a Namibian holiday. The chalets were very clean and cozy.
