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.).

Check in is always quick. Peaceful, all units are beautifully set in gardens with a huge pool as the centerfold attraction. Comfortable and large rooms fully equipped with cable tv, king size beds, coffee/tea, refrigerator etc. The bathrooms are spacious too, with both a tub and shower. A large dining area/bar is right next to the pool and open almost all day. We didn’t have a chance to enjoy any of the food in the menu due to current COVID rules, we trust that their service should be just as good. We always stay there when in the capital city.

NetherlandsThis was the only place that excluded breakfast and it was also relatively expensive. Also, the resort is quite out of town, several Ulendodrivers turned us down.
The resort looks beautiful, all the cabins look very nice. The bathroom had both a bath and a shower, which was nice and warm. The room was spacious, had a tv, offered coffee and tea. We could call the restaurant from inside our room to order dinner, which was convenient.

PolandCottages are pleasant, though a bit dark. Restaurant serves only black tea. If you want green, you must bring yours.
Lovely place outside Lusaka. If you don;t hurry to the office in the morning, it's a perfect place to stay. If you go to Lusaka for busines, it's 30 min from the worst roundabout in the ocuntry. I was stuck there for 50 min! But the place is nice, service good. Swimming pool is big and clean.

ZambiaBeing situated along a main road (Kafue Road) you have to contend with the occasional noise of vehicles (including heavy trucks), but it isn't a deal breaker.
The chalet we stayed in was spacious and quite cozy. Featured a bathtub, shower, aircon, etc. Definitely good value for money!

United KingdomI understand that this is due to covid, but not being able to sit in the restaurant to have dinner with my friends. Apart from that I would stay again.
The beds are so comfy, I wanted to take it home with me. The surroundings make you think you are no longer in the concrete jungle of Lusaka.

NetherlandsI asked for an extra towel to lay at the pool because the pool chairs were very dirty (birds feces). I only got one towel with which I had to dry off in the evening after showering as well. Also, it was not possible to lock the door of our apartment.
The room was big, we got offered water and the surrounding was very luxurious. We came early so we had to wait before we could check in, but were allowed to lay at the pool in the meantime.

South AfricaThe inclusive breakfasts were appalling! The cooked breakfast was ice cold and they had run out of most of the buffet items and did not replenish! There was only instant coffee and no milk was provided in the rooms! We had to fetch from the restaurant for early morning coffee! It spoilt our stay completely!
The rooms were very comfortable although our toilet didn’t flush properly!

United KingdomThe noise. The accommodation is next to a very busy main road with large lorries moving all through the night (often honking horns), and the accusation is thatched which provides no sound insulation from the noise, if anything it exacerbates it. Such a shame as everything else was fantastic.
The staff are very friendly. The hotel grounds are beautiful
