How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe bed was very comfortable. Kate and Lash were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped.
This is out of Golentle's control, but be careful of the round about way that Google sends you on to get there. We got stuck in thick soft sand about 100 meters from Golentle.

Verified reviewOutstanding place to stay in Maun. Spectacular hospitality! Kay, her husband and her son's are doing best to make their guests feel at home. It is not a five star hotel, but it is Botswana at its best! If you like to explore kindness and hospitality with a botswanian family, this is the place to stay. We enjoyed it so much!! It was hard to leave. Thanks!!!

Verified reviewA great little oasis in the middle of a raw and real neighbourhood. A great place to stay to experience the culture of Maun. Chef Kalesha makes a very healthy and very satisfying meal if you order dinner. Kay and Lesh are great hosts. I would highly recommend a stay here if travelling through Maun.

Verified reviewA nice family run home stay in Maun. The room was spacious with a fridge and microwave. The family was very friendly and welcoming. Quick turn around for laundry which was very convenient. They also ran a water filtration business so clean water was always available.
The toiletries were limited to only one small bottle of soap. Although meal can be ordered from the family, the price was a little on the high side.

Verified reviewIt's very clean and roomy, and the staff are superfriendly.
More cutlery would have been useful, especially knives apart from the chef's one.

Verified reviewThe owner Kay, was extremely friendly and always smiling. She made us feel welcome to her warm cosy place. She was very helpful and readily answered all our queries. We could pay in US dollars at the end of our stay. Golentle is about 10-12 minutes from the airport. The accommodation was secured with an electric fence on top of the compound wall. It was very clean and we loved the outdoor seating with the pet cats purring while we took our meals. The breakfast comprising bread, butter, cornflakes, eggs made to order, bacon with flavored yoghurt was lovely. The dinner with mashed potatoes, chicken, bread or rice, grilled tomato, salad greens- was tasty and delicious. You must order in advance. We loved the place and for the price we paid, it was exactly what we would have wanted to begin our safari the next day and also at the end of it- as our flight was on the next day.
The toilet could have been bigger, but we didn’t mind it. If you are a big person, you may want to ask for a different room.

Verified reviewFamily-run business, room was very clean and beds were made up everyday. We were given a bottle of filtered water which was refilled each day. Kitchen area to cook was really appreciated. They even prepared and heated the coals for us when we wanted to use the braai.
Staff did their job too well, even folding our clothes and underwear, and organising the toiletries we left in the room.
