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...).

GermanyThis beautiful lodge with its wonderful garden is the best place we have stayed at in South Afrika so far. The food offered in the arty restaurant is amazing. Fabulous breakfast. Tommy is a great host always making sure that his guests have everything they need. I highly recommend staying at Sunbirds Oasis Lodge.

South AfricaWhen you say oasis, your mind will blend you in a picture about water and lush vegetation. That place can proudly carry that name. Once you are in the pool you are not willing to come out. The owner is really caring about every corner of the property. Exquisite sitting decks for animal viewing, gorgeous outdoor gym,cosy saunas, hot tub, outside bar. Overwhelming aesthetic in the restaurant, quality food, an ambiance that you feel welcomed because they take a time to decorate. I adored the lights in the night, the trees are old and majestic.One of the most beautiful garden what I visited. Couldn't stop watching the ostriches who waited in front of our bedroom in the morning and later pulled down the cushions from the loungers as they were cleaning as all others in the morning 🤣It was sad to be there just for one night but that place will stay in my ❤️ forever

South AfricaWe did not enjoy Breakfast, Please add more varieties instead of just servng Bacon and Eggs. The Staff at Breaking fast were not so friendly, they looked so tired and seems annoyedc each time we ask for something, Please buy Uniforms for your Staff so the Guests can easily identify them, it was a bit uncomfortable dealing with Staff dresses in street casual clothers. The lady at the Restaurant was wearing a very SHORT pants which was so cringe to watch especially around guest travelling with Families ( Husbands & Wives).
The place is amazing, the Front Office Manager Johane and Happiness were very friendly and helpfull, and there was another gentleman named Freedom, He was so helpfull and has the most exceptional customer service, He was working at the Restaurant during dinner time on the 31st of December, what an amazing guy! He made sure our stay was so awasome and memorable.

GermanyWe felt very special in this beautiful place. The service was outstanding. The pool area was the perfect place after an exhausting safari. Also the view platform is very nice and if you are lucky you can see some animals as well. Plus point: There are three very friendly ostriches in the place. Thanks a lot for a very special time for us. Highly recommended! Dinner was also delicious in a modern and artful Restaurant.

NetherlandsOur stay at Sunbirds Oasis Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. The lodge provided a perfect blend of high-quality service, comfortable accommodations, and a laid-back atmosphere that made our family getaway truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, the level of service stood out as a highlight. The staff were not only professional but also genuinely warm and welcoming, making us feel at home instantly. The accommodations were pristine, offering a safe and comfortable environment that allowed us to fully unwind. One of the most memorable aspects of our stay was the bushwalk led by Tommy and Decide. Their knowledge and enthusiasm brought the experience to life, and it was a unique way to connect with the beautiful surroundings. The lodge’s restaurant and bar were also a standout. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Whether we were enjoying a quiet drink or a full meal, the experience was consistently top-notch. In short, Sunbirds Oasis Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious retreat. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

GermanyBeautifully green and safe Oasis in the middle of a National Park with wild Animals and the opportunity to observe them (protected by high wire fences around the Lodge) from platforms equipped for this purpose. We were lucky and saw a Buffalo, Hyena and few Giraffs. The presence of Birds, freely roaming Rabbits, friendly Ostriches within the Lodge's property pleasantly surprised us and our child. Located at a short distance Kruger Park and Blyde Canon are impressively rich of Nature! The sincere friendliness and compassion of the Lodge's team deserves highest praise only. This applies and to the team at the reception (where we got perfect advices & complete support for our activities) and in the bar-restaurant (with delicious Breakfast Buffet and low menu prices) and to the team that keeps the lounge and rooms nicely clean. We had a wonderful week and accumulated a lot of cool impressions and positive energy for a long time! South Africa is full of positive surprises! Thank You all!
