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.).

The buffet was delicious and plentiful. The private terrace and pool was amazing with an untouched views. We did the sundowner tour and saw some game and had great drinks and snacks -Make sure you stop at the photo frame/ fridge on the drive in from the gate! We would highly recommend staying here.

South AfricaWe planned to spend the day after we arrived relaxing in our room after a very long drive the day before from Fish River Canyon. When we got back from dinner on evening 1 the awning over our pool was gone. The next morning we had breakfast went for a walk came back and still no awning. By midday the sun had moved around there was no shade left on our terrace and still no awning. My husband called reception. At 12.45 I called reception and they claimed they hadn’t understood what he was asking. By 1.15 sun was beating into our room I hadn’t heard back from reception so I walked to reception. They said they would speak to maintenance. By 2pm we had the curtains closed and were sitting inside in the dark. The maintenance team arrived but it took them an hour to put that awning back up. By the time they left it was almost time for us to start getting ready for our sunset drive. The entire day planned around sitting on the terrace and using the pool was gone. No one apologized and no compensation offered. In fact we never saw a manager in the 3 days we were there.
Stunning luxury in the desert

NorwayIt was very pricy stay over. Otherwise, fantastic.
The location was fantastic with the red dunes in front of all property, the villas, the bar, the breakfast / dinner room. Driving to the property was great experience - came in the sundowner. The breakfast and evening buffet - high quality food. Fresh food, excellent barbacue, salads, and their home-made ice cream. Good service by people who worked at the property. Friendly bartenders. Extraordinary sundowner with the guide from Desert Grace - our guide was highly skilled on the animals, friendly and chill person.

GermanyFor a hotel of this price category: The quality of the food is unfortunately below average. The staff, although very friendly and eager, obviously lacks hotelier experience. Overall, there is unfortunately no recognizable service concept. The condition of the rooms is in some cases no longer at the highest level. Especially for travelers coming from the south, the location of the lodge for a visit to Sossuvlei is only conditionally recommended.
The Desert Grace has a recognizable lovingly designed concept - particularly the very well equipped rooms correspond to the high-quality claim of this lodge in the top category of the Gondwana Brand. The private pools with uninterrupted views of the red dunes of the Namib are wonderful - especially for families with small children. The nightly Scorpion Walk is also highly recommended.
