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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

FranceI love the rooms but i was given a room upstairs, with a 2.5 year old it was very dangerous and kept me on edge throughout my stay. I was a bit disappointed i was give a room upstairs knowing that I was travelling with a child.
The breakfast was scrumptious and the staff were very courteous. Absolutely loved your gardens. Just wished the weather was more accommodating for a picnic in the park. The game drive and garden walk was lovely and the guide was very informative and patient

South AfricaAttention to detail. Especially in the room. The management is aware of that and I am sure they will cross the T's and dot the I's.
The setting and the staff was exceptional. We experienced a few small issues and the management went out of their way to address this. Arrived a a guest and left as a friend.

South AfricaUnfortunately we checked in on the wrong weekend. There was a family that had no respect for other guests and the staff. They made noise until early hours. They were just hoarding the entire public space with kids all over the show. It was annoying!!!

ZambiaThe food doesn't match the property, it's not bad, but I expected better.
The environment is very nice. Its serene, clean and the air is very fresh. You get the feeling that you are somewhere very far from town. It's a very good place to "reboot". There a stream with with a mini waterfall. There are two chairs with a table above it where you can relax with your feet in the water. Breakfast in the garden is also fun. There are a number of animals on the property to see.

United KingdomThere was no telephone in the room, which made requesting for roomservice or any assistance a little challenging. The room also had no mini fridge for chilled water or drinks, and it's a hot country, so in my own opinion, I feel a mini fridge in the rooms would be highly beneficial to guests. Instead of having to text the manager on WhatsApp everytime you need water or a child drink during the night , I highly believe a mini fridge in the room would ease the burden of having to call at odd hours.
The staff were really great they went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and definitely made my stay a memorable one. The manager Maxine and her staff Mr Gerald and Miss Mercy were really great at attending to my needs while at the lodge and kept bringing ice cubes plus chilled water from the bar. They made them selves available 24/7 of which I really do truly appreciate.

South AfricaThe internet connection was not great. Getting to the place was disastrous - luckily were dried early morning to eventually ask passer by to assist in finding the place. 1 or 2 signs on the way to just confirm that you on the right route would have been great. GPS location just did not work in getting us there. Person on the other end of whatsapp took long to give directions or share location. We waited long to check in even though we had asked previous night for a early check in of about 13:00 ... I understood when I got there it was fully booked.
Oooh the place is the Paradise they say it is in the name. Absolutely breath taking I loved the staff , so helpful and they touched my heart that they were so helpful with my son. Thank you Isiah and team you guys are exceptional. They assisted the best they could to make our stay memorable. The 2 activities we did were amazing. I am definitely coming back with more time to do all the activities on site. The room was spacious and just perfect for us 3. Food was delicious 😋 dinner and breakfast. Outdoor space breath taking ... you have to be there to get it.

GermanyThe description of how to get there is very basic and does not help you if you are coming from another direction (e.g. from the Great Eastern Road). Fortunately, Tracks4Africa got it right. But there was no sign, nothing at all to tell us whether we were on the right track to the lodge. There is no sign at all at the gate - only the guard on duty told us we were at the right gate. Other than that it was perfect!
Dinner and breakfast were excellent - simple, but very tasty. Everyone was very attentive and extremely friendly. The park is like paradise. When coming from the dusty roads of the north or east, this peaceful oasis is just what you need to relax.
