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 reviewThe property was clean and affordable, I won’t lie, it was quite worth the price.
As it was our first time visiting the Lagoon, we were not given any details as to how we enter the lagoon. We contacted the owner of the property at a later stage and he was very arrogant and rude to us. We did not have as much fun and good service as we expected. Another thing, as we entered the place, the door handle broke, the bathroom door also kept dislocating. What’s funny is that they were aware of those situations but didn’t give us a heads up.
I the owner did explain to you that I was in the Kruger Park and the signal was bad. I’m so sorry for the bad circumstances. Stuff do break. I also did explain that I will try my best to make your next visit better in future and fix what I can fix. Unfortunately the access to the lagoon is struggling with the Blyde. I ask you please to take down the review as it affecting our small little business.

Verified reviewThe lagoon, my babies enjoyed it too much The WiFi is unlimited The apartment spacious and clean except for the sheets and pillow cases
Our apartment the pillows were smelling of other people Our beds were too small There was no toilet spray , not even a hand wash The rules for the Lagon are honestly too much. We were nearly evicted because apparently our agent had not paid. The fact that we had to also walk all the way to gate 2 to get belts when the previous day we got them at gate 2 and nothing was communicated to us. As a first timer at the blyde I honestly didn't expect such

Verified reviewI loved the lagoon definitely coming back, the house was also nice. However I wish the host was more prepared and send codes before hand and to explain how to enter certain areas and so forth. Otherwise we had a great time and look forward to visiting again.
There was no soap in the showers and they could add more towels in the rooms nothing crazy the stay was good.
