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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

GermanyNo WiFi in the room... but actually it's also nice to just enjoy the nature around you without any distraction.
Staff was absolutely amazing, thank you to Natasha, Nelson and The Chef! We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. The food is well cooked and really tasty, especially considering in the remote location. Facilities are well maintained and clean.

NamibiaSundowner drive was disappointing. We were a group of 6 and booked the drive upon arrival in the afternoon. `there were 4 further guests booked for that sundowner drive. Unfortunately the lodge only catered for 4 people that evening. The drinks were also very limited. Only wine and beer and no Gin Tonic which is a favourite on all game drives in Namibia.
Everything was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Shower was good. Food was good. We could go on a self drive which was very enjoyable. The guides were very helpful by giving good advice regarding tyre pressure before we left. They also helped us to pump the tyres before we left the lodge the following day.

GermanyNo complaints at all. The only thing is that you only get connected to the internet (WiFi) in the reception area, which is nearby!
We stayed for 2 nights and just loved it. The lodge appears to be pretty new. The rooms are tastefully furnished in a modern style with everything you need, incl. a fridge. Nice terrace for watching the animals, comfortable beds and excellent food at a very reasonable price. We had breakfast & dinner twice and it was really very good. The lion tracking tour lasted for more than 3,5hours as it was difficult to find the lions. We saw 3 females and 1 male, it was worth it! Best out of 16 accommodations on our trip, highly recommended!

GermanyAlthough Kalahari Game Lodge deserves to shoulder the long way, one has to admit that it is located rather far away from "the usual places" where tourist regularly go. Hence, stay at least two days.
An excellent place to stay two or more days. Spacious rooms with all comfort that makes your day (comfy bed, a/c, fridge, warm water shower, parking next to the house, terrace with view on the grazing animals). Delicious food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well-equipped bar and comfortable "living room" at the main building. Well-maintained little garden and pool area with view on the waterhole just 30 m away. Much wildlife to watch just sitting in the shade next to the main building during day and night. Different game drives on offer. Friendly and communicative personal.

South AfricaNo management present Your pool isn’t enclosed and a gemsbok drowned during our stay Your walking trail isn’t marked and using a micro picture of a trees that occur all over the park as land marks makes it frustrating The kitchen units in the cottages aren’t equipped ‘Restaurant’ has no menu, your set menu R380 isnt value when you get a soup, strew and a poor dessert half board at best. so best to equip the kitchen with basics for those who don’t want to dine at the ‘restaurant’
No managers present staff tried their best, Your camping facilities look great
