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 super comfy, the grass, garden and pool are well maintained and the breakfast was okay. The aircon was great for the small room. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The shower was leaking, the shower tiles are loose and the bathroom windows could not close or be hooked into a position. There is only 1 electrical point easily accesable and one behind the bed. if one does not have a multiplug adaptor, and/or an extension cord, getting stuff charged and connected is a problem. There are no bedside lamps either. For the size of the room, I think it is overpriced. There was also no chef and we had to go into town to get dinner.

Verified reviewBig swimming pool
This lodge is an absolute no go, when we arrived 2 hours later than we thought we would due to very busy roads the host was very impatient and told us we are late, we where a bit shocked that paying guests get treated this way. Then the next thing they tried is to constantly get more money out of you, we booked for two people, including breakfast, when we arrived, the manager or person who. Checked us in said we need to pay extra for breakfast as it is only for one person , which was not the case. After some serious discussions, the matter was resolved. We asked if we could please have one extra blanket they did put in the room. However, the next day, they wanted to charge an extra 150pula for the blanket. It seems quite ridiculous considering the extremely unprofessional and unwelcoming arrival and atmosphere. The very apex of this horrible stay was when we went to the pool to just try and relax a bit . A whole group of local construction workers rocked up, which was not paying guests and wanted to take over the pool, they where very hostile towards us, and it was extremely uncomfortable. We did not feel safe here.

Verified reviewVery nice lodge in traditional style, all recently constructed, everything is new like the very silent und smooth air condition. When I arrived, some works were still to be done, but was outperformed by lovely manager Amantle who took care of everything. Because the restaurant was not yet opened, she cooked dinner for me: excellent. It is located a little bit out of town, so you need a car or a driver. I had the great Kevin who drove me around, securely, friendly, competent. Beautiful birds in the garden, sunset is marvelous, you see it vis-a-vis the lodge.
