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.).

MauritiusDirections to the Lodge should perhaps be to Alpine Heath as Google maps was very confused 🤔
The property is in a remote part if the Northern Drakensberg. A place of exceptional beauty. It is intimate and feels like a well run family business. Service and meals and staff were excellent. Definitely a bucket list addition No internet -Awesome

MozambiqueIt would be helpful to know that you should google The Health Resort to find the location. Our GPS took us to the wrong location. Also more clarification about calling the lodge to get picked up and taken up the mountain.
The lodge is set in a beautiful location. I really enjoyed the fireplace in the dinning area and in the cabin. The food was tasty and well presented.

South AfricaThe drive up to Greenfire from Alpine Heath is about 30-40 mins on a gravel road that passes 2 small streams that crosses over the road, so having a 4x4 or high clearance vehicle is a must.
We had to leave early as we were hiking up Tugela falls the next morning and Jeremiah and team had our breakfast packed for us to take on the go, which we thought was extremely sweet and accommodating of them to do. The rooms were very comfy and the place overall is absolutely stunning. We also really enjoyed our open bacon sandwiches which we had for lunch.

South AfricaThe setting of Greenfire Lodge is just magnificent! The dining area - in a big log cabin - overlooking the Drakensberg Amphitheatre in the distance is just the nicest place to have the three wonderful meals served daily! The numerous walks and variety thereof were just fantastic.

This was exceptional. Jeremiah and the staff is exceptional. The views are breathtaking and out of this world. We unfortunately only stayed 1 night that should never happen as there is so much to do. The food is delicious and tasty and freshly made. I've never tasted bread so delicious. The beds are big and comfortable and the shower is hot and refreshing. Early morning rusks with coffee makes is even feel more homey. Luckily we read about the road that leads up so we arranged for them to collect us because it is a daring thought to drive up there. We will most certainly come back for a longer stay.

United KingdomThe sleeping accommodation was more than adequate for a very comfortable stay, cosy & comfortable rather than luxurious. The ability to have hot water for drinks on demand at the room rather than a flask would be ideal, but that’s really being picky. There is always the facility to have hot drinks in the communal area.
Such an exceptional location high up (highest I believe) in the Drakensberg. The views are truly spectacular. The food was incredible and very generous. Only a limited number of units, so you feel very secluded.

South AfricaWe gave our arrival time between 2 and 3 and arrived a little after 3 and the place was deserted, almost like they weren't expecting us which was a little disconcerting.
Breakfast was good and views were amazing as well as the hiking trails. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean.

South AfricaThis is our second visit and we love the venue. The water could be warmer, but in order to keep it eco-friendly, it is what it is. the recent fires have damaged some of the signs and trail and we hope that can be attended to. Other than that, we will be back in the near future.
The breakfast was organic and exceptional. The addition of freshly baked bread and fresh orange juice is always a welcome bonus. The variety is more than adequate a well prepared. The variety of fruit was also well laid out and generous

A trip we will never forget!! We made use of the shuttle up to the lodge. Justice was ready and waiting despite us being a few mins late. Lovely check in and briefing by Shaun. Log cabins are well maintained. Delicious wholesome meals were provided daily. How can we ever forget the freshly baked bread with each meal. Trails are well marked and the trip to see the vulture colony is a must. Kids enjoyed a lovely afternoon horse ride. Ample wood provided for the room fire places. If you want a break from the hustle and bustle off grid this is the spot. We will definitely be back!

South AfricaThe fact that they only have solar means you can't make coffee at will in the cold weather. But they do bring hot water in the mornings and you can go to the lounge area and get hot drinks there.
The breakfast was very yummy. The views were beautiful from the accommodation. I really enjoyed the hikes.
