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.).

South AfricaThe 30km dirt road to the property is in a shocking state. If you are driving a car that you care about it will take you 1.5hrs to drive at a pace that won’t damage the suspension. I wish I was warned about this properly but I was merely told that it’s about 30mins drive on a dirt road. Our car would be broken if we drove that fast on the road.
Fantastic views, fantastic food, fantastic people.

South AfricaNOTHING!
Everything. Everything from the checkin, food, room facilities, service of entire staff, cocktails, even game drives we tops. I love how the staff and management are so comfortable with each other, it screams healthy working environment and from that, great service is always guaranted. Our guide Sam T was the best, very patient and lively. In our entire stay we were serbed by 2 very good waiter/esses, Flo & Busang - too good. Their service really stood out for me. We stayed in the presidential suite and everything about it ticks 5 stars. Very spacious and lacks nothing

South AfricaFood is too fancy, prefer more plain, choices should include African cooking and not just fancy european food. Car washing should not be done without consent, i dont like people cleaning my car when at lodges.

South AfricaThe gravel road getting to the property can be a tad hectic. We rented a 4x4 vehicle, which made the drive to the property so much better.
It was beautiful and clean. Very spacious and all the accessories in the room were very thoughtful.

South AfricaAmazing service, rooms are luxurious and the game drives were incredible thanks to Sam Tshabalala. The pictures on their website are spot on to what you will experience! The food was exceptional, the high teas were one of the best based on our experience from other 5 star private game reserves. This was by far our best experience. From the time we entered the reserve until the time we left, we were treated like royalty. Great sightings on our game drive as well, got to see Elephants, Rhino, Lions and a Family of cheetah.

SwitzerlandBabohi is an exceptional property nestled in the hills of Waterberg with stunning facilities and warm staff. We requested an upgrade to one of their Buffalo rooms upon arrival and found the room to be beautifully decorated, spacious, clean and well-situated, as we had a few animals visiting our plunge pool during our stay. The highlight of the trip were the game drives together with our friendly and dedicated ranger, Sam. The staff were also very warm and made sure our stay was special. In particular, thank you to Lucy, Veronica, Tebogo and Busang for your hospitality.

NetherlandsDuring our stay in June the game drives felt quite disappointing since the non-standard game was nowhere to be seen. In three game drives we did, we only saw one of the big fives (rhino). In comparison to the Kruger, this was a bummer on the otherwise excellent few days we stayed here.
The location and the room is exceptional. The staff is one big family and they really do their best to make you feel at ease and to make you feel comfortable. The service is great and they are flexible. For example we really liked the included laundry service that was “free” of charge. We also liked the fact they were allowing us to stay a bit longer the day of checkout since we had a late evening flight.
