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 KingdomI wouldn't say I didn't like anything but it could be worth having a fob access to the front gate. It's a bit annoying have to ring the bell each time you go in and out of the compound
The location is really handy, it is only a short walk to Sam Levy shopping center. The staff is are really accommodating too.

ItalyI enjoyed all essential aspects of my two weeks at Art Lodges.
My experience over a two week stay at Art Lodges was a happy and deeply satisfying one. The kindness and unassuming attentiveness of each one of the staff created a lovely atmosphere. They just go about quietly tending their assigned jobs and respect your space. Michael the manager and the son of the kind hearted proprietors was always available for advice and information. Security issues are uppermost for anyone away from their country and continent. Art Lodges provided safety at every level. It is located in the beautiful leafy Borrowdale area in suburban Harare. One short trip from Art Lodges by taxi I recommend are the Botanical gardens (albeit presently in a supervised but neglected state; hopefully the cafe has reopened). Every morning I enjoyed jogging in the vicinity and in the afternoon walked for 10/15 minutes to Sam Levy's Village, a modern complex of shops, supermarket outlets, banks and excellent cafes, restaurants and wine bars. Zimbabwe has its own currency but US Dollars are used everywhere. Be careful your dollar notes are in basic usable condition as otherwise shops will be refuse them. Very importantly at all times carry 1 and 2 Dollar notes especially if using taxis and for many other transactions. For changing Euros or Sterling to Dollars there is an excellent exchange rate available at an outlet at Sam Levy’s Village. Ask at Art Lodges. Also take note that the roads and footpaths around Art Lodges and to Sam Levy are adequate but less than perfect. Vigilance is necessary especially crossing roads. With the advantage, however, that cars drive on the same side as Ireland, the UK and Malta! Also recommend you download economical Uber type taxi App. In the afternoons or evenings the excellent Thai restaurant and gardens beside Art Lodges ie recommended. Also just for coffee or drinks.

Good sometimes, ended up staying longer than expected as the place was very good. Would have preferred giving the breakfast order rather than a guaranteed menu which l found to be wasteful as l was not able to eat all my breakfast. Easy on salt please.
