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.).

Great location - 10 minutes drive to QENP entrance gate & with many wild animals visiting the area daily - staff will accompany you to your lodge during hours of darkness to ensure you’re safe when it comes to any animal encounters. Really nice lodgings - comfortable beds, mosquito nets, hot showers. Exceptional staff - everyone was so welcoming and took great care of us, from check-in to check-out. The food was wonderful - 4 courses at night, 3 courses at lunch and a big breakfast. Really enjoyed the option to try local dishes, which were all great. Thanks for a memorable stay.

CanadaA wonderful camp near Queen Elizabeth. Park. Food was great and lots of it which was a major plus for my teenagers. Cottage was comfortable and had an attached bathroom. Security people were always around so we were safe walking around the camp with wild animals around.

ChinaThe price is relatively expensive.
The tents had two double beds, which were much better than sleeping on mats, and they also had electricity. When we needed to go to the restroom at night, staff would light the way. The room rate included three meals a day, which were of good quality and plentiful.

MalaysiaThat I couldn't spend more days there.
Fantastic welcome with cold towel and fresh juice. Quick check in. Excellent quality of food. Coffee was great. My tent with 2 beds and charging socket was lovely. The restaurant employee, Patience, and others took good care of me. The highlight was definitely John the elephant, who was there when I checked in and the next day during breakfast.

United KingdomThe outdoor / campsite toilets were a bit dirty with lots of insects, but the ones near reception were very clean and can be used instead
Very good price. The tent was comfortable and clean. The included meals were excellent, with large portions. There are hippos that come to the camp at night, and you can look at them with the lodge guards! There is also a large bull elephant that comes to the camp during the day too!!

FranceI stayed in one of the safari tents, it was very comfortable. Shower had hot water. The meals were very good and we even got 3 courses at lunch. Water was also included which was nice. I saw elephants, waterbuck, birds and mongoose at the camp. I did game drives with Innocent who was an amazing guide. Great value for money!

United KingdomThe showers in both our rooms were very feeble and not very warm. The food was very, very salty which was a shame as it would have been very good otherwise.
Very well placed for game drives and channel, with wildlife wandering through. Comfortable beds and friendly staff.

NorwayLocation is great. Close to the NW sector of QENP. Lots of wildlife in/around the property. Elephant John, mongoose, and a waterbuck all came for a visit during our stay. WIFI drops in/out a little. Tent was nice, there's a outlet to charge your batteries. Shared shower block was basic but good. Staff was helpful to organise trips (a guide and boat tours in QENP).

SloveniaWe have no complaints—it was a perfect stay!
This was one of our favorite stays in all of Uganda. Everything was perfect—the staff, the location, the food, the views, and the wildlife. We were woken up at 6 AM by an elephant having breakfast right in front of our tent—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience! We’re so glad we chose to stay here.

CanadaThere was nothing not to like! Despite sleeping in a tent, we actually had a very comfortable sleep.
This was one of the most immersive experiences we’ve had during our travels to Africa. It was absolutely surreal to have wildlife like elephants and hippos walking right through the camp and something we were really hoping would happen! At no point did we feel unsafe. It’s within a good proximity to the northern sector of Queen Elizabeth, and the staff can help you book a local guide if you’re self driving. The guide they contacted for us (Ronaldo), was amazing. From the manager, to the security guards to the general staff, everyone was very accommodating and we had a fantastic experience. We were in a tent (not a lodge) so our review is based on the tenting experience.
