Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaThe camping chairs could do with upgrading as they are rather worn out but everything else exceeded our expectations
The lodge is well situated and has tons of space for a big family. There is plenty to do and the lodge is well stocked with appliances and all that you would require.

South AfricaThat we only stayed for a weekend
The place was phenomenal, more than enough room and modern facilities with everything you could possibly need and more. The staff were so friendly and the accommodation exceeded our expectations. Best memories were made and I would highly recommend the lodge for a big group. Would have loved to stay longer. We had zebra, kudu , hornbills and monkeys visiting us and we will treasure our experience for years to come. The golf course, restaurant and pool area are also fantastic. Thank you Nicky and staff for hosting us. I'm sure we will be back

United KingdomSo much wrong with the maintenance of this property which totally spoilt the stay, broken bar stools, broken toilet seats, showers didn’t work, drains filled and blocked, broken banister outside which could have potentially been very nasty if we hadn’t noticed, plunge pool was dirty and uninviting to cool down in, broke doors which monkeys knew and opened and made small mess, ice machine was great after we cleaned it ! Broken glass on floor which 2 people in the party nearly stood on and cut their feet, bottle tops and rubbish everywhere, we had to clean every plate, knife fork prior to using, house came with golf buggy, couldn’t use as flat tyre, game vehicle that came with house also broken. I can’t believe that no air con in all rooms, one room that had air con was broken. Light bulbs missing so poor lighting, won’t go in as was so much more !!! Such a disappointment as such a lovely house
The house was huge more than enough space, great location by watering hole plenty of wildlife

South AfricaThe house is very rusty and not too functional. The presence of monkeys in and around the property resulted in us having always to keep the door and windows closed at all times and it was very hot with no aircon in the house. The monkeys were a big inconvenience as one had at all times mind personal belongings. The pool was unfortunately dirty.
The self-check-in option was easy to follow and allowed me to gain access to the house. The security personnel were beneficial in providing directions to the house.

GuernseyRental agents communicated poorly often not replying to messages. Rental agents gave the wrong check in times. Game vehicle was out of service, and agents didn't communicate this until it was too late to book game drives at the neighbouring game reserve. Cleanliness of rooms could have been better as there were many old cobwebs in the bedroom and bathroom cupboards, with spiders etc.
Lovely location Great facilities with on-suite bathrooms for all bedrooms and wonderful entertainment areas Daily cleaning was great and staff were very friendly
