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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomWi-Fi was poor, but let’s face it: you’re in a desert!
Staff were excellent- very friendly. Tour to Sossusvlei (N$1,500 extra pp) was a real highlight, and Fleming who took it was great. Setting is beautiful; in the middle of the desert and the facilities and food were excellent given the isolated position.

United StatesThe rooms are wonderful, but I’ve always wondered if anyone truly enjoys the open concept bathrooms in hotel room. We were friends so it wasn’t great- but aside from that everything was wonderful and we couldn’t recommend it more. Hotel could restock toiletries and coffee after a few days- only suggestion. We were there three nights and never got coffee/tea restock or soap. Minor and not a problem.
We loved the staff! Flemming, Ransey, Keenan, Shelly, Dianne, Toshlin, and all the staff in dining and the bar were amazing. We felt so at home. The room was so spacious and comfortable. The activities were wonderful. Star gazing stuff of dreams.

AustraliaThe provided wifi in the reception area and beside the pool was excellent, but for those of us addicted….it was an inconvenience not to access as required in our lovely room.
What a unique experience to be able to stay in luxury in the middle of a desert with animals at the waterhole for company and attentive staff such as Dezeree (sorry if I spelt your name wrong…. But the page I wrote it on blew away into the desert!!! true story 😊) and of course Nelson……excellent customer service with a smile. Our room was spacious, even with room for a child’s bed! But lighting for finding your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night could be improved as could instructions for the safe….both minor issues. The food was delicious, and wines were reasonably priced, both amazing, considering the remote location. The finishing touch on our last night was the sound of the animals outside, that we could hear, but were not quite able to see, munching on the food left out for them by the staff….a lasting memory. Thinking about staying @ Le Mirage….just book it….you will have a wonderful unique experience!

DenmarkBreakfast & dinner are limited and already set so not much diversity.
I liked everything about this place. I don’t have much to add. This place is better than any images you see. The luxury at this place is exceptional. All of my praises of this place will not do it justice. A must visit & stay. This place only had 2 nights available when I booked so I only stayed 2 nights. I would’ve liked to stay longer. There’s room for improvements but this place overall is very beautiful🥰❤️

ArgentinaThe internet connection wasn't great. There were two wifi networks that werent accessible from my room and the coverage on other areas wasn't great either. Not too bad if the objective is to disconnect though.
Staff is very friendly and polite, installations are excellent (I found that the pictures on the publications were unfair, the Lodge is way better). Food is really good and the location is spectacular for discovering the Sesriem region.

GermanyThe guide from the quad tour was not very good with younger teens. He should have give them more time to get used to the quad and give them an automatic geer. Not very patient either. Our daughter her birthday cake came the day after her birthday, that was sad given we ordered it weeks in advance and called the day before her birthday to ask if it would be there and they confirmed.
Very unique place to stay in the middle of the desert. Beautiful rooms and nice pool. We did a fun sunset quad tour for our daughter her birthday. They sang for her at the dinner table. Every night there is a 5 course dinner , first night delicious second night a bit less fancy.

ItalyThe light meals on the bar menu were tasty and we loved them, but the breakfast and dinner were not very satisfying.
I loved everything. The room was very spacious and well furnished. The location was magnificent! Maintenance is taken care of down to the smallest detail, as is cleaning. All the staff were very smiley and happy to help. I would go back today if I could. It's heaven on earth.

GermanyTiny details could still be improved: the place is well lit at night, somewhat limiting the enjoyment of the night sky. And the rooms offer little shelves or closets to unpack bags. Not a big problem but could be improved upon.
The staff were consistently attentive and friendly, with a very cordial and professional attitude at all times. Especially reception and restaurant service left nothing to be desired. We enjoyed the generous room, excellent dinners and the Spa offerings.

AustraliaIt was warm at night, and the poor air conditioning worked very hard to keep us cool. You're in the middle of the desert...can't complain. It was part of the experience :)
What a beautiful place, an oasis in the desert. Our refuge for two nights from the blistering Namibian sun. The resort and it's surroundings, stunning! It was misty and so cool in the mornings. Loved sitting out having coffee in the morning. Shaded parking was available for free. The staff, exceptional! Each and everyone of them so friendly and helpful, but a stand out to us was Caneesha. Excellent service and lovely to chat with. She took such good care of us. The meals were very good. Tried some game meat, which were quite enjoyable. Breakfast was ok, not much variety. The room was clean and beautiful. We did have a leak in the shower, which was fixed straight away. To stay in such a special place was so amazing. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this once in a life time experience.
