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):
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.).

United KingdomNothing. A lovely tented campsite. Will definitely look to return here in future.
The location is amazing. In a remote location so very peaceful. I was there in the dry season so no water in the river, and no wild animals but bird life very interesting. Should be a wonderful location for birds and animals when the river is flowing. All staff very helpful and very supportive. Breakfast and dinner options limited at times however totally acceptable. In early September, though 25 - 35C during the day, it can get cold at night (10 - 15C) but plenty of thick bedding provided so never cold in bed.

NamibiaWe had a situation where we booked a tent, however there was a miscommunication between the owner and myself. We had to confirm that we will arrive, for the tent to be erected. This was not clear on booking.com. We did receive discount for a room due to this, however it did cost additional money due to the above.
Room was great. Staff very helpful and friendly and food was good.

South AfricaThe room was cold (it was a winter night) and a heater would have been good. The wifi didnt work at the cabins and slow wifi was obtained standing outside the closed restaurant. The place didnt seem well organised or well staffed. We had to wait for staff to arrive the next morning to pay and this took a long time as the staff didnt know the pin code for the credit card machine and couldnt get hold of the manager/owner, the wifi connect was slow and in the end we had to pay cash to leave. The restaurant was closed and no one around and since it is several kilometres out of town food was not available without advance confirmation (but luckily we had eaten dinner in town but left without breakfast).
The tented cabin on the river edge in terms of location and layout was great, the large bed was very comfortable

AustraliaAll great
I could run out of superlatives to describe how good the Nako Okavango river camp is. What they have created here is hard to believe. A beautiful set of tent cabins set beside the river. (Camping available also). Everything used in the building and grounds are top quality, the carpentry and building are excellent, water pressure, swimming pool, security lights; nothing has been skimped on. The main restaurant/bar area looks out over the river and the cabins are in a wide arc along the banks under flowing trees. Inside the cabins are comfy beds with top quality linen, doonas, blankets and pillows with draping mosquito nets. Flaps on the flywire windows can be opened for the air and views. Very hot water showers, fridge and a deck with chairs to sit out on. I have to mention the greatest assets are Mike the owner and manager Regina. Mike is such a larger than life fellow with many interesting and humorous stories of an amazing life. He’s also a quality chef and made 3 wonderful dinners for us. They are both so friendly and helpful and really made our stay wonderful. Regina can also do clothes washing if needed. They also organised a Mokoro canoe trip for us, which was really worthwhile. And directed us to the Duck cafe near the airport, best coffee in Maun! It’s about 15 minutes outside Maun just off the bitumen road, there is a large sign on the highway. The short dirt road in was hard packed and easily passable in our 2wd corolla.

UgandaU don’t have to arrive at this lodge in the night , its location is way off the road , on bad no signs for directions.you must use google maps for Better location. If you arrive in the evening you will not get meals better have meals in the city centre. No early breakfast though they provide a boiler in the room but no coffee or sugar. It was a brief night stay though it could be exciting if you plan to stay longer
