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.).

United KingdomBeautifully manicured lawns, fancy lodge and comfy rooms and view over waterhole. We saw rhino and springbok in our one night stay. A nice place to Brad, our route back to Windhoek from Fish Rive Canyon.

BelgiumThis is really a 5* lodge, well located, nice surroundings, rooms with everything you need (and more!) and a watering hole where animals in the reserve might show up to drink. The game drive in the reserve is excellent, we saw lots of sprungnox, zebra’s, girafs, kudu’s erc. Highlight was having a sundowner 25 meters frim 2 white rhinoceroses. Piece de resistance was watching their 2 cheetahs being fed in the morning. They grew up in captivity and roam freely in their own reserve.

The Lodge was a lovely relaxing place to stay and as it is on a game reserve we were able to book on the sundowner game drive to see the animals. The staff were friendly and made you feel very welcome. Our room was lovely and had a view of the waterhole.

SwedenThey have a pool but I would not highlight that as it didn't feel so welcoming, and was small but in the end we had plenty to do so didn't feel we were missing that anyway!
This was a perfect stay for the first days in Namibia. Staff were very friendly and worked very hard. Room was great and actually everything was more beautiful in real than in the pictures online so that was a great surprise. They had morning and evening activities to book and we booked three, all very good ones. I dont like animals at the zoo, in cages. But this sanctuary for the Cheetah was big and it felt like they had a good life there. It was cool to be able to stroke them as they had become domesticated. The sunset safari in the private game reserve was amazing too. A shorter tour but we got the chance to see rhinos walking next to the car.

The property is beautifully kept and is located in the middle of a nature reserve. There is a little lake that is lovely to sit beside and watch the wild life. The safari we went on left directly from the property and before long we had seen lots of animals, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. The food was very nice and the staff were really friendly.
