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.).

South Africawith the thatch roofs, it was not very sound proof being so close to the main road. although the shower was warm, it would have been a tad better if it were able to be warmer since i travelled in winter. other than that it was perfect.
the stay was excellent. it was close to where i needed to go for work so the locale was perfect. it was a literal slice of bushveld in the middle of the hustle and bustle of joburg. the owner David was the perfect host and was super accommodating. the bed was impressively comfortable!!

South AfricaNo complaints, we loved it all.
The Lodge is beautiful and while there, you completely forget that you're in the city, which we loved. David, our host, was very friendly and accommodating. The cottage was cosy, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We especially loved the fireplace and love spending the evenings infront of it watching movies - great, since the weather was freezing!

FranceThis lodge, only a few mins away from Jo'burg is a very peaceful place. You would not expect to find such a place within a city, but here it is. I enjoyed everything about it. A little piece of nature and of the bush in the city. The owner David is lovely, welcoming, always willing to help. very nice service and team working there. I totally recommend this place. And feel free to ask them about the tours they can offer !

United KingdomThere is a lot of shade but sunny areas too. This would suit the majority of guests though.
This place is a gem. The lush surroundings make you feel as if you are way out in the countryside but in reality it's just a few miles from the city. David has created a tropical paradise, along with his team they went above and beyond all our expectations. The team are friendly, warm and welcoming. We would love to go back. If you are looking for somewhere to stay for a rejuvenating break, or just an airport stop over - I urge you to book and enjoy this beautiful Eden.

South AfricaNothing, we liked everything at the lodge.
What a great place to stay and unwind!! The lodge is in a busy neighborhood, but you forget all about the noise and the traffic once you enter the premises. There's a small, safe shopping center within walking distance where you can buy food etc. The lodge itself is beautiful with a swimming pool and a large entertainment/relaxation area next to it. David is an awesome host and very friendly, he was always around if we needed him. We booked a studio which is huge and has everything you need. The beds were very comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely return again.
