Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Sakhile and her team made our experience unique and seamless. From Check in to department we were treated like family and we are so grateful for that. The game drive was a nice touch and our driver Cosmos gave us a 5 star experience with excellent knowledge of the environment.

South AfricaSome basic maintenance in the rooms can be done with the curtains. They were hanging off a bit and then by the 2nd day after the room got cleaned, half the curtain was hanging off and left like that. Instead of the lady asking someone to fix it, we just got a sorry. They have an amazing dinner menu, and then they give you two options to choose from out of the whole menu. Possibly because it was quiet.
Rooms were huge and clean. Meals were delicious. Staff were very friendly. Kosmos did our game drives and he was so lovely! Very friendly and made the game drives memorable. We got to see most of the animals! Was a great stay. Their gardens and areas are well maintained and it's very beautiful there. You get a free morning 1hr safari and this is definitely worth it! And it's affordable to do the additional safaris. You can ask them to take you to thandi's tavern and you get to see all the hippos which is lovely.

South AfricaBesides the game drives there wasn't anything else to do. Maybe allowance for somewhere to walk for guests... somewhere that's not too far and guests don't have to pay. The TV in the room could help a bit especially on cold rainy days when you can't sit outside for too long to enjoy the nature. Maybe a buffet option for dinner and breakfast could be nice instead of a plated option. The lions were a bit unexpected. We expected lions in the wild....roaming freely. The caged lions felt like a zoo.....which is not nice to see. The pillows in our room had a bit of a white dusty residue coming out. Not sure if they are old or something tore inside .....but maybe adding some new pillows. I think some additional blankets are a nice addition in the cupboards for cold nights. Even if it's just 2x fleeces.
It was quiet and restful. We enjoyed the game drives. They were insightful and very lovely. Our room was nice and big. We loved it and the view was peaceful. The breakfast was lovely. The entire farm is beautiful. The dinner set up was so lovely. The staff was so friendly and lovely. Everyone was just so pleasant. We really had a lovely time.

South AfricaGames room did not have all the things needed to play some of the games also Windows and tables and racks where boardgames are was very dirty. Place needs some tlc.
I loved the friendly staff. From when you show up greeted with drinks to arriving from the game drives meeting us with a warm cloth to wipe your hands. That's really special touches! The food was amazing. The chef was very good! The game ranger Cosmos was a real Diamond and made us feel welcome he made sure we could see loads of animals and that we were warm and comfortable. Accomodation at Khaya lodge was clean , double showers , nice deco , clean linen. Kitchen had coffee , tee and sugar and milk with rusks for pre breakfast. If you look at all the extras like the robes you can wear , the body wash , the food and service. The money is worth it. We will go back again !

South AfricaWhile everything about the lodge and staff was truly exceptional, I did feel that the activity options were a bit limited — especially for families travelling with children. Game drives were the main offering, and although they were fantastic, any additional activities came at an extra cost. It would have been wonderful to have a few inclusive or family-friendly options outside of the drives to keep little ones engaged during the day. The pool was not heated which is not ideal when travelling with childen and not that getting colder in jhb
From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality of the entire team. This wasn’t just a stay – it was the highlight of our holiday. The staff were absolutely phenomenal. Every interaction felt personal and sincere. The manager checked in with us daily to ensure everything was perfect, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate our meal preferences. Our children don’t eat sugar, and they went out of their way to prepare special cakes and desserts just for them — an incredibly thoughtful gesture we’ll never forget. One evening, when the kids were too tired for dinner, the staff even brought our meal to our room without hesitation. That level of care and flexibility is rare — and deeply appreciated. A special mention must go to Cosmos, our game driver, who was without a doubt the star of the lodge. We did three game drives with him, and each one felt like a new adventure — filled with unique sightings, stunning photo opportunities, and insightful knowledge that brought the bush to life. His genuine kindness and the love he showed our twins was deeply moving. He even went the extra mile to fetch an extra floaty so they could enjoy the pool. I truly believe our experience wouldn’t have been as memorable without him — he is a treasure and a true asset to the lodge. What really sets this place apart is the attention to detail and how seamlessly the staff work together. You can feel the pride they take in every small touch, creating a space that is welcoming, polished, and effortlessly five-star. They treated us like family, and we left with full hearts and unforgettable memories. I’ve already recommended this gem to all my friends and family — and I’ll continue to do so. If you’re looking for a safari lodge that combines comfort, world-class service, and genuine soul, this is it.

South AfricaWe expected more wildlife - the impression was created that the waterhole was a busy one, which it isn't. Communication of mealtimes etc could be better - we waited a long time for Dinner every night without knowing what time it was to be served. It may be late, but if you know then it doesn't become and issue.
The staff were wonderful and the Lodge was peaceful and well kept.
