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 house was very good although a bit chilly in winter. Food was very good .
Misunderstandings perhaps due to language. Excursions expensive considering there are no many animals and The ones there are are wearing a collar.

Verified reviewWe had an amazing stay. The staff did everything to make our experience one to remember, like the setting of the room and the table during dinner. We were very well serviced, so thanks a lot NaanKuse!
Not necessarily something that opposed us, but good to know for other travelers. We stayed in one of the suites next to the lodge. You are in mid nature, so sometimes you could hear some small animals, probably mice, rustle in the straw roof during night.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed a private 3 bedroom villa that was very comfortable and beautiful.
The restaurant service is slow, there‘s always something missing at the table and the buffet and you have to go and find a waiter to serve you.

A bit unexpected was the taxi price to get to the property to the airport. But all went well with the support of the team of the lodge.

Verified reviewEverything was awesome 👌🏽. Our waiter on the first night was on point.
The restaurant should at least add one finer quality of brandy like cognac to their list. Choice was very limited.

Verified reviewNothing !
Never seen such bad service, especially at such a price! Waiting at the gate because they didn't know about our reservation... after 30 minutes driving to the lodge new wait, because in the meantime our arrival was still not yet known, nonchalant welcome, unpleasant and unprofessional, no hot water in the evening, this was reported, yet 2 hours later the water was still cold, several power cuts during the evening, path leading to the bungalow plunged into darkness due to defective bulb, 20 minutes for check-out... and the best thing: the next day they send an invoice (without any explanation!) saying that I still owe them money, so everything has been settled! Being so incompetent is not possible ! It’s a shame ! I also didn't understand the concept of loud music in the lobby/restaurant !? Never again !
