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.).

United KingdomWe were only at Badgers Lodge for one night but it was perfect for what we wanted. Rooms are beautiful and clean. A short drive into Knysna. We had to leave early so missed breakfast but overall we would highly recommend.

South AfricaMaybe WiFi could be stronger/quicker.
The entire team was very welcoming. The property was mostly very quiet and clean. The breakfast spread was delicious. I loved the pool and sun deck and the little bar/chill area, too. I spent a full week there and it was definitely value for money.

LuxembourgAmazing and definitely worth staying at! I wish I'd stay there longer. It's located in the calm residential area in Knysna with lots of beautiful vegetation around and nice garden view, and it's managed by lovely hosts who can give you valuable advice about things to do in the region. I enjoyed the design of the outdoor area, and the rooms were super cozy and well-designed too. And I'd also highlight that furniture, walls, floor are new and fresh there, no renovation works are needed, unlike in many other tourist accommodations in South Africa. It adds a big value to the living experience. All necessary facilities, like A/C, fridge, equipped private bathroom, parking, pool, are available and in good conditions. 3 mins on foot, there is a cool restaurant with delicious food named 'Social eatery' in case you are lazy to drive to the city center for diner (but driving is still quick, around 5 mins). I have no any single minus to indicate. It was a perfect stay and I do recommend this place.

Loved the round rooms, plenty of space and very comfortable beds. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming and breakfast was great! They also have two gorgeous friendly dogs on the property but don’t worry if you don’t like dogs, they’re kept separate but we wanted to meet them!

United KingdomWe felt that the little ‘extras’ in the room were pretty scarce. There was no water for the kettle, we were only given teabags/milk etc for one day rather than the two we had booked for and we had to ask for dry towels than the wet ones that hadn’t been replaced. I think that the money we paid warranted at least supplies including soap/ shampoo etc for the whole duration of our visit rather than just for one day. Apart from that our stay was comfortable.
It was clean and comfortable and the hosts were extremely helpful.
