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.).

SwitzerlandWell located just north of Windhoek, so it made our long drive to Etosha the next day that little bit shorter. The staff were a highlight, very friendly and even though we arrived late (we'd had two flat tires that day) they took great care of us and made sure we were comfortable. The breakfast is amazing, with different types of Namibian cheeses, local types of game meat and a nice warm plate as well. There are tortoises and springboks wandering around which was a welcome surprise. The rooms are basic, but perfectly comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer.

AustraliaI wouldn't stay there again with out a car. It is 20+ kms from Windhoek and transfers to go only a short distance away meant the taxis etc had to come from Windhoek to take me a short distance so that became comparatively expensive. There was no small fridge in the room for milk but I requested a small jug each day so I could have coffee in my room without that horrible whitener powder.
Buffet breakfast was good but limited; Staff were lovely; thank you! I had a wonderful massage; The lovely manager Natashja organised bookings for me for a walk with the bushmen; also a safari at Okapulka and transfers where necessary.

RomaniaFinding a place that immerses you in the untamed wilderness of Namibia is rare, but this experience truly delivered. The atmosphere was unparalleled, capturing the raw beauty of the landscape perfectly. As a delightful bonus, the food was exceptional. A special "thank you" for their invaluable guidance on the route to Sesriem.

United KingdomA fridge in the room would have been a plus, but not a big issue.
Beautiful grounds, relaxed atmosphere, local wildlife of tortoises, ostrich & springbok, plus the owners 4 cats. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The pool and outside lounging areas were plentiful with Chris overlooking the waterhole, plenty of comfy loungers and other seating areas around the property. The food was outstanding! The best of our entire trip. Comfy rooms and beds too. I would definitely recommend as a place to stay on route to the airport or on arrival in Namibia.

GermanyThe rooms are not quite up to date (this was not important for us: overall the standard was very satisfactory).
We stayed at this lodge for one night as a stopover on our way to the Waterberg Plateau. This is ideal because it is close to the B1. Immanuel Wilderness Lodge is ideal for this, especially as you are welcomed and accommodated very nicely. The dinner and Breakfast wäre excellent!
