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 reviewA lovely location and the room (Cottage) was excellent. Well furnished and good facilities. The golf driving range was very good and the pool area very good also. All the staff were polite and helpful.
The tennis facilities were out of action. The food (breakfast) and dinner (by the pool) could have been better.

We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay, especially the cottage, golf driving range, and pool area, and that our team made a positive impression.

Verified reviewOverall, Lakowe Lakes is a great getaway if you need some quiet time in nature and away from the buzz of the city. The facility is well planned and the golf course is spectacular. It has several patches of the lake cutting across the golf course which makes for an amazing and relaxing view. The facility is well kept and the staff were generally helpful. I will go back there again for golf and a getaway from the buzz of the city. The architecture of the facility is brilliant and i was quite impressed.
The reservation process is not very straightforward. They have several numbers on their website for reservation and only one of the numbers works (but there is no one to attend to you after 5pm, which logically is the period when most folks get off work and can actually create time to make a hotel reservation for a trip, so this was very disappointing). In addition, i made a reservation on Booking.com with my VISA card but received an email from the property stating i should make payment to their bank account otherwise the reservation would not be complete. This would be very challenging for folks who do not have a local bank account in Nigeria (i was lucky to have an account in Nigeria but i am sure there are several folks who are challenged with this). The rooms were okay but a couple of things stood out which i did not like: 1. The thick curtains in the room could not be pulled open to get some light into the room in the morning, you literally have to find a way to open the curtain to get some light into the room (not the usual curtains which just slide and open once you pull). This was frustrating. 2. There was no trash can in the bathroom - i believe this is basic and all hotel rooms should have a trash can in the room and in the bathroom 3. there was no soap holder in the shower area, so you either had to put the body wash bottle on the floor while taking your shower or hold it in your hand. this is basic and should be fixed 4. the tables in the restaurant are not cleaned immediately when other guests leave the table, so i found myself on several occasions cleaning the table myself to make it comfortable before we ate. Great property but all these things that cause discomfort to the guests should be fixed quickly.
Dear Merabell, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tranquil escape that Lakowe Lakes offers and appreciated the well-planned facilities, breathtaking golf course, and our team's hospitality. Your kind words about the architecture and overall ambiance mean a lot to us. We sincerely regret any inconveniences you encountered during your stay. Your feedback on the reservation process is invaluable, and we acknowledge the challenges it may pose for international guests. We are actively working on streamlining the booking experience to make it more seamless and accessible. Regarding the room and dining experience, we appreciate your insights on the curtains, trash cans, soap holders, and table cleanliness. These are fundamental aspects of guest comfort, and we will ensure they are promptly addressed to enhance the overall experience. Your constructive comments help us improve, and we truly value your perspective. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even more seamless and enjoyable getaway. Please don’t hesitate to reach out before your next visit—we’d love to make it extra special for you! Kind regards Team Lakowe Lakes
