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.).

Everything - the location is just stunning, the staff are welcoming and helpful and answered every question we asked. The tents are so comfortable with plenty of hot water. The food was delicious for all our breakfasts and dinners. There are beautiful walks around the rocks - we had beautiful sunrises and sunsets every day. We saw a Spotted Eagle Owl, wildebeest up close, and very friendly starlings, ground squirrels and sociable weavers.

Everything. The staff were lovely, friendly and fun. The food was so good, well presented. Two evenings we had bbq in a lovely outdoor space and the other evening a special dinner on the patio overlooking the Plains. Went on two trips, an excursion to soussusvlei and a sundowner trip to watch the sunset from a great viewpoint. Even had time to spend an afternoon by the pool. A great, relaxing few days in the middle of our holiday.

We had the most fantastic stay at Naukluft Lodge, apart from the spectacular surroundings, everyone on the staff was super friendly and nothing was ever too much to do to ensure we had a comfortable stay. As for the food, it was just on another level, prepared with love and care by Sophy and her team! Thank you Kia, Tina and Thorsten for such a memorable stay!

At night, zebras or wildebeest may pass by the camp, and the night sky is simply breathtaking. Also, the food is so good and the staff is super friendly. I'm already looking forward to my 4th stay!

NamibiaWe could not afford breakfast or dinner in the Lodge and the Tented Room had no facilities to make your own food. There was kitchen facilities, but no utencils&cutlery, luckily we had our own. There was a braai near the little splash pool, but we used all our own stuff but I am sure if you ask, the staff will help you out.
We liked the Soft Adventure Camp - it was a tented room, very comfortable and hot shower. They can rather call it Soft Camping Facilities.

What an amazing surprise! We were fortunate enough to find this camp and get a last minute reservation. They generously upgraded us from the camp to the lodge. Once we were settled- our boys hiked a fantastic rock mountain hill behind the property while we lounged on our patio and looked at the most spectacular sunset across the desert. The room was clean, spacious, and comfy and the dinner was absolutely delicious. We were wined and dined like VIP guests in a gorgeous outdoor setting. The brothers who own this property have stories to share and were so helpful. I will thank them now because our family really enjoyed the special excursion/hike that they sent us on. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Thank you so much for sharing your history on this incredible property and what you used to do when you grew up there. We really really enjoyed our stay. A special space and we hope to be back!

We loved eating outside for both dinner and breakfast enjoying the scenery and open air! Nice sunset spot up on the rocks. Nice to dip in the pool after hiking the sand dunes. Very friendly staff.

EswatiniEvery room would benefit from a mini fridge, right now some have and some do not. Double check your final bill as we had a few extra drink charges.
When we arrived, we were told we had been upgraded to the Namib Naukluft Lodge. We had seen a bus group parked at Soft Adventure, so we were happy to receive the upgrade. My review will be for the lodge. The setting is very peaceful, and beautiful rock formations set in the desert landscape make it feel special, especially at sunset. There is a cold swimming pool which is a welcome respite from the heat. The rooms have AC and ceiling fans, which helps a lot. All of the rooms look straight out onto balconies facing the desert expanse. Dining in the evenings is a treat as dinner was served outdoors at sunset, and the meal is four courses with salads making a fifth. The food was very good, some courses were amazing. My personal favorites were the lamb and polenta with some sort of magic sauce and the oryx raviolis.

Was given a free upgrade. Great surroundings. Spacious rooms with great view though you might be disturbed by the gophers when you step out to the porch. Lovely products and dinner. When putting the name into GPS remember to put in Namib Naukloft Lodge. "Soft adventure camp" will lead you way way offroad.
