Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaOur cabin wasn't properly serviced before we checked in: • No bath mat / foot mat for shower • No dishwashing liquid (we requested) • No stove top kettle (we requested) • Dirty pillow case found between pillows on couch • Holes in both beds' duvet covers • Very stained dish cloth • No note with WiFi password in tent (we inquired for the password) • Would recommend you make a note about the drinking water situation prior to arrival so that guests can stock up where they prefer. • Also suggest that you have the actual dispenser (to spray for flies) in the tent. There were so many flies, and only a dispenser refill in the cupboard, but no actual dispenser.
Looks like a lovely place for summer with the pools (minus the flies). We enjoyed the hot tub and we like the layout of the AfriCamp tents. Nice deck and fireplace too. Lovely green, lush lawns.

South AfricaThe hot tubs need wood to get it fired up at first and guests can do the follow up to keeping it going! The kids pool was not functional for the younger kids!
Comfortable, well positioned. Clean and the staff were helpful and friendly! Elton John is an amazing manager and host and so accommodating! He is the oil that makes that those wheels turn well! Loved the experience!

South AfricaThe fridge is a bit too small for a self catering accommodation.
Everything to keep the room warm and cosy was available. A fireplace inside the tent, an easily adjustable air-con, a gas stove, electric blankets etc. outside there’s a private braai area and a jacuzzi. Bonus points for the room service that delivers charcoal and snacks in less than 60 seconds!!!
