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.).

SpainEverything was perfect
Everything, it’s such an amazing paradise. The staff were very welcoming and warm. The food was delicious. They organized the game drivers and were so enthusiastic about searching for the big 5, organized the mokoros as well as the helicopter rides to the Okavonga Delta.

United KingdomThe policy of having to be escorted to/from your tent during hours of darkness was irritating. It meant that one could not make best use of the communal area in the evening. I understand the reasoning but it was overly restrictive.
The staff were cheerful and attentive. Yellowbone the guide was also supernatural in his ability to drop onto cheetah, lions and hyena during the game drives. He was also a font of knowledge and a good laugh. The catering and hospitality staff were amazing, and the "Are you ready for your dinner?" song will stay with us forever! The lodge is ideally situated close to Kwhai village and the nearby reserves and game spots.

United KingdomWe stayed here for 2 nights second week of November 2024 mid-way though a self-drive safari in Moremi and Chobe and it was the highlight of our trip! The place is situated in a lovely location with great game drives around the surrounding area. It’s also on the doorstep to North Gate entrance if you have your own vehicle and wish to head into the park for the day. The tents and general dining area was excellent, the food was even better. As many other reviews have stated, some of which I read during my own research, the food prepared there by the chef and her team really is something else. The staff are also brilliant and will take care of every need you have. They are friendly, pleasant and genuinely want to see you have a good time. Upon arrival we had a punctured tyre, and despite this not really being an issue of the safari lodge the manager Mange came out when he saw me struggling trying to jack up the vehicle and for the next hour was on the ground with me (he basically did most of the work :) ) helping me get it fixed so we could get out on a game drive. Certainly something I won’t forget. Great guy to sit down with and chat to if you want to find out more about Botswana and the local area as he has a lot of experience around Moremi and is super friendly. We didn’t do any of the game drives offered by the lodge, but based on the experiences of other guests we spoke with in the evenings they had many excellent encounters including finding a leopard not far from the lodge itself. Overall a very well run and pleasant place to be, you will not be disappointed and we cannot wait to go back there.

South AfricaThe travel from Maun to Moremi is only 130km but it takes you 3 hours due to the quality of the roads. You'll also need a 4x4 vehicle to get there. The positive is that you see lots of game during the drive already.
Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Game viewing was great. The rangers were very knowledgeable and interactive. Great value for money. Food was great. The location is out of Africa..and right near the Moremi Park with lots of animals.

AustraliaThe facility is quite run down in many respects, and it is in need of some significant maintenance work all round. We specifically asked for a private table for 2 but we had to sit with a staff member every night. Gigi was friendly when we first arrived but didn't seem to do much else to make our stay good. She seemed very disinterested both in ensuring the place was in good repair and in caring for the guests.
The chef's meals were very good. The tables were set beautifully and the room staff prepared the rooms well. The staff behind the bar were excellent, always very helpful and attentive.

SpainIt is not for everyone, you’re in the middle of the bush so you can expect bugs, limited wifi connection, animals around your tent in the middle of the night…
It is located in the middle of the delta and animals walk around the camp freely all day. Doesn’t get more authentic than that!

South AfricaWe told them we would self drive, they didn't communicate that we need a 4*4 or that we would have to pay park fees to get there. SADC pricing would be great cos it was quite pricey if you are a local.
Activities were cool. They care for vegetarians. Staff are attentive. They fixed all the problems almost immediately. Outside showers are amazing
