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...).

South AfricaNothing. The signal is limited and WIFI is only available in the common areas but we were happy to have some time offline.
The lodge is stunning with a great location as well. The staff were absolutely on point and we had so much fun we stayed an extra night! We had great animal sightings as well seeing 4 of the Big 5. Our room was excellent and the bar drinks selection was excellent. We will definitely come back

South AfricaThere's not much not to like. If pushed, I feel the evening meal was somewhat disappointing; the prawns and fish were overcooked. Re accommodation: the duvet was very heavy - too heavy to sleep under!
The location was excellent and the staff were wonderful: Henry, Robert, Siya, Shay and the others made us feel very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The game drives were great, and thanks to Siya, we saw the big 5 - up close!

South AfricaThe weight I put on. It’s very difficult to turn the lovely food away.
We were returning visitors. It’s a 1700klm drive from the cape west coast for us. And so worth it. The staff go above and beyond, the facilities are spot on, the whole team make everything run seamlessly. You come away feeling totally spoilt.

United StatesWould prefer afternoon game drive to start a bit later (4pm would be ideal). A slightly later checkout time would also be preferred--we felt rushed to leave the bush breakfast to get back to our rooms and shower/pack/etc before having to leave.
Excellent hospitality and staff; lovely and spacious room, and we also enjoyed hanging out and dining at the main lodge. We very much appreciated how accommodating everyone was with our child and an older grandmother.

South AfricaThe location was in the south of the reserve where most of the Game was, so the location is perfect. Meals are excellent and service brilliant. I love a place with a view and Umzolozolo has a beautiful view with a Warmed infinitive swimming pool. Game drives were Awesome and our guide Nols was a hoot and extremely knowledgable. Highly recommend
