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.).

The location was good but we were really disappointed about the reception/welcoming staff ... really did not make us feel welcome. But as always, we also met a couple of nice staff members while roaming the property and for that we are thankful.

Verified reviewThe location, quietness, beautiful landscape around, tasteful cocktails, private shower & toilet, sink & table with benches under a roof.
Was missing a bench in the bathroom, the light was very weak for dinner, shower temperature very difficult to stabilize. We were rather poorly informed about activities such as animals tracking, maybe because we were staying at the campsite and not the lodge.
Dear Richard, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful location, landscape, and amenities. We are also sorry to hear about the not-so-good aspects found in our offer and have shared this feedback with our operations team to further review. We are also sorry about the limited info on our activities; as we strive to ensure that all our guests are well informed, we will duly review this feedback as well as our processes and methods.

Verified reviewOn our 3 week trip thru Namibia we did only a handful of camping nights in our roof top tent, as we prefer to have a bit more luxury in our middle ages... Palmwag campsite was one of the best ones and an excellent choice if you are looking for a safe and well equipped camping site in Damaraland

Verified reviewWe camped and had our own ablutions with a power point. The place was clean and there was a table which made our stay easier. the service of the Workshop was great to replace one of the vehicles tyres and the reception and curio shop was decently priced.
The toilet and the shower are in the same room, it makes sense to separate these if at all possible.

Verified reviewWe were unpleasantly surprised at the unkind reception we received arriving at palmwag lodge ... it felt like the person (s) behind the desk wished we never showed up ... very unfriendly! Would not stay there again but would try to book a camp spot in the Palmwag concession away from lodge next time .

Verified reviewThe views, the clean camp space with private toilet and shower facility as well as a CV overed concrete area with picnic table and bench. Sites are well spaced. The shower was hot and strong, magnificent. The restaurant served an excellent meal as we were feeling too lazy to cook over the braai. Gondwana collection facilities always hit the mark for me.
