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.).

The breakfast was amazing and the venue was breathtaking. The only downside is that the staff makes crispy bacom even if you ask for a soft one, but other than that, it was amazing.

Very nice lodge at the Zambezi River. Comfortable accommodation, very good food at the restaurant, friendly and motivated staff. For people interested in birds, the river cruise along the Zambezi River is highly recommended.

The lodge is situated next to a lake, the view was just stunning, the beds were comfortable and the chalets were unique with the glamping idea. The windows were like in tent. You feel if you are part of nature, but protected against insects. The decor was African and the theme fits in with the area. The food was delicious.

Very authentic Lodge with wonderful views over the lake everything was just gorgeous. It’s a small Lodge run by the owners which makes a lot of difference to us. The staff is very professional and friendly. Food was excellent and they were willing to make authentic Namibian food for us which is quite exceptional in most lodges.

AustraliaI would come back again in a heartbeat. We didn't have wifi in our room but its available at the reception. It was great for us because we wanted to disconnect and enjoy our time together. They were in the process of installing skylink while I was there so I believe this will improve connectivity if people are concerned.
It was a well spread out location. The villa was simple, clean and well cared for. I had AC in my room but didnt need the time of year I visited. Drinking and eating on the deck is an absolute treat - wonderful views overlooking the lake, especially at sunset. We got to see monitor lizards, lots of monkeys and a very shy bush buck on the property... at night you heard the occasional hippo. The guide who took us fishing was great and knew the Zambezi region very well.

AustraliaThe layout, the gardens, the view from the deck was amazing. Great place to unwind & relax. Staff were super friendly & really went out of their way to make our stay special. We went out fishing twice and really enjoyed being on the Zambezi river amongst the hippos and crocodiles - got to catch a couple of small tiger fish too. The bird life was exceptional. We truly got to switch off from work - the internet was available by the reception but with local SIM cards we were fine around the property. And the good news is they have starlink getting installed shortly for those that can’t be away from wifi.
