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 KingdomKaraoke by the pool on the first night (Sunday), largely by staff members, completely ruined our dining experience. We weren't aware that there would be such 'entertainment' and it's really not our style. The floors in the rooms are bare, so it was a little chilly at night. Some slippers would've been a nice touch.
Absolutely outstanding buffet breakfast with more choice than you could imagine! (6 types of honey!), omelette and pancake chefs. Loads of outdoor seating options. Ability to walk to Royal Livingstone Hotel and to dine there. Proximity to Victoria Falls and back gate checkout to do so. Zebra, impala, vervet monkeys roaming. Bird hide. Beautiful pool. Reception lent us adaptor plugs. Special excursion organising desk at reception. Tribal greeting. Really hospitable staff

United StatesIt has a no refund policy, a problem if your flights get canceled, or plans change. I would book close to the date or not at all. If its VF you want to see, tour vehicles and taxis can pick you up at any other lodge or hotel.
It was relatively close to the falls, and it met all the standards of its star rating.

Location was very close to the Victoria Falls, easy walking distance. The restaurant staff especially Trebby and Chewe were very friendly and helpful. Chewe was cooking beautiful omelettes for guests every morning with a kind word and manner. Trebby gave excellent advice on things to do including a full day Chobe National Park safari and African Queen sunset boat cruise, plus her pleasant nature every morning was such a welcome.

United Kingdomrooms were pretty small and mosquito nets not adequate. the beds in the family room were too small for two adults to share and just about Ok for us with a 6 year old. the adult food menu could have been a bit more varied. the in house tour operator wouldn't take a 6 year old into Chobe, so we had to organise a trip via a different operator. given that it's a family friendly hotel, it would be good to have Chobe as an option.
great location with easy access to the Victoria Falls. good for kids with a decent size pool, kids menu and wildlife on site. Staff are super friendly. amazing breakfast

AustraliaThe beds are very hard. Shower isn’t great & bathroom was tired and could do with a revamp.
The location is fantastic. So close to the falls & free unlimited entry. The staff are very friendly & helpful. Loved the animals wandering around the hotel grounds. Livingstone Adventures tour desk onsite makes it very easy to book activities. Highly recommend the game drive/rhino walk & the Elephant Cafe. Once in a lifetime experience.

South AfricaThe breakfasts were average to say the least. Not sure if it's a country thing but the salt was less in absolutely everything. Rooms are very small. Even our family room hardly any space to move around so bare that in mind. Any transfers and taxis and overpriced ridiculously!!! Be prepared! Seriously, you not ready for the cost to travel.
Neat and tidy. Animals all around. Food fairly priced. Drinks are not worth it. Overpriced. Staff are friendly and always willing to assist. A great welcome we had which made us feel happy and calm. Access to falls is free.
