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 reviewBeautiful location and nice facilities. Due to terrain, lots of steps and gravel paths, so tricky for suitcases. Good hot breakfast and several cold options. It was too cold for the pool when we went, but that looked fun.
Room was a bit small for 4 adults, but would have been OK for a family with kids.

Verified reviewLudwala Lodge is great for backpackers, families and younger people. I was travelling for work and having tents full of youngsters outside my door did not do much for a good sleep. The cabins are small and basic, no microwaves or fridges provided. The room was cold with no heating. Staff were wonderful and food was not bad, the portions were a little on the small side and priced a little high.
Heating in the room, a small fridge and microwave would be a huge help.
Hi Doc Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us during your work travels.

The room was disappointing. Not really worth the price. The doors were a bit unclean, the bed was uncomfortable and I had to change rooms because the television in my initial room was not working.
Good day Tengetile, Thank you for taking the time out of your day to review our Lodge, we truly appreciate you for that. We would like to apologize for the issues you experienced with the doors not being cleaned, the uncomfortable bed, and the faulty television, we understand how frustrating that must have been, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We are reviewing our amenities and cleaning procedures, and we assure you that this will not happen again. We hope that your next stay will be better, and that we would have improved on all areas of concern. We hope to have you stay with us again soon. Thank you for choosing Lidwala Lodge.

There were a group of girls that were volunteers, they were loud till late at night. I understand they are young and everything but I had a baby with me so the loud talking and giggles woke her up after her bedtime. They also toke over so you couldn’t sit at the reception on the couches because that is were the laid the whole day so you could only stay at you room or on your balcony.
