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.).

DenmarkEverything about River Crossing Lodge was perfect. The clean, well designed chalets are staggered so each balcony is totally private and the view of the mountains is stunning, especially at sunrise. The food at River Crossing is delicious and every member of staff was kind, professional and friendly. River Crossing is far enough away from Windhoek to feel as if you are in a world of your own. We definitely plan to stay at River Crossing Lodge when we fly back home.

BelgiumRiver Crossing Lodge is a wonderful place, in the middle of the mountains, yet not too far from the city center (approx. 20 minutes by car). The staff is very helpful and can arrange transport to go the centre or airport, if needed. The food is good. I would defintely recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the beautiful views.

South AfricaThe road up is a bit uncomfortable due to highway construction. Game drive was nice but hardly saw any animals up close so felt like it wasn't value for money.
Rooms, view and food was perfect. Staff are young but helpful. They are busy with some renovations but place was still beautiful.

SpainNothing to dislike, no complaints. Only as a hint, it is located outside the city and you would need transportation, but if you do not have your own car, the staff can arrange for you.
Beautiful location with astonishing views, while still located between Windhoek and the airport. Clean, comfortable and staff was super friendly.

Great location outside of Windhoek if you prefer a bit of an african bush surrounding away from tje city. Pool could be heated, but since solar panels where being installed, hopefully also some pool heating... Breakfast was great, nice eggs or omelett as ordered, and of course lovely friendly service, many thanks for that :)) Overall 5* recommendation
