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 reviewLocation compared to Kruger, animals visible in immediate perimeter
The room was supposed to have a view which was not the case. The only window was giving on the shared terrace where dinner occurred 2 out of 3 days we where there meaning coming back from activités we had to keep our window and blind closed because people were dinning. No privacy absolutely terrible and happen despite signaling it to the personnel! In addition the room is directly opening to the lobby so constant people coming and going. The food for dinner was one option only and we discovered that walking outside the property was prohibited after 6 pm making it impossible to have dinner anywhere else that at the lodge. The lunch provided was the same everyday and we discovered that the prices for the activities booked via the hotel were grossly inflated.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted that you appreciated our location and the opportunity to see animals in the immediate area. However, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience regarding the room view and lack of privacy. We understand your concerns and frustration and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Your comments are invaluable to us, and we will address them with our team to ensure a better experience for our guests in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the chance to make it up to you on a future visit

Verified reviewThe staff was super nice and accommodating to our various needs (and we were difficult guests this time, travelling with a toddler and on very short notice). The food was very good, although breakfast has some limitations. It is also a very small lodging, with a very high ratio of superbly trained staff per guest. The cleanliness is impeccable!

Verified reviewThe staff were excellent and the service was very good. We had dinner one evening and it was very well presented and prepared. We rarely eat more than one course, so for us the set menu did not allow us enough flexibility, we would have eaten every night if this had been available. The breakfast boxes that were provided for breakfast when we went into the Kruger were excellent.
We were disappointed that the pool did not appear very inviting, the water did not appear very clean. Our room was a deluxe double, it was adequate for our needs as a base for visiting Kruger, but is on the small size. We felt the lighting was poor annd the bedroom was quite dark, some areas, such as under the sink unit and the shower door ridges really needed a deep clean.

The locations is excellent, and although it is not inside the Kruger, it still feels like you are out there in the wild. We will definitely be back.
The room smelled moldy.
