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.).

United StatesI had an incredible stay for one night. Kelly, her partner and staff are exceptionally accommodating, very polite and easy to get along with. Kelly arranged transportation to the airport. When transport canceled last minute, she had already arranged another safe means of transportation to the airport. They went above and beyond for something they had no control over. The lodge is walking distance to a bird sanctuary. Also a shopping center that has delicious food options. The lodge has beautiful gardens all around. I enjoyed taking in sunlight throughout the day from their many garden areas. The area is very safe. I felt comfortable walking around during the day and night. The meals at the lodge are delicious home cooked recipes. The option to use Uber eats is also available. When the kitchen is not open for meals, the invitation to use the kitchen to cook yourself food is available. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I would absolutely stay again! Thank you to Wild Tree Lodge 🙏

One of the most beautiful guesthouses we’ve ever stayed in – it truly felt like something out of a fairytale. Wild Tree Lodge in Johannesburg is absolutely magical. The entire place is incredibly charming, spotless, and perfectly maintained. The staff were absolutely wonderful – warm, welcoming, and attentive. The owner is fantastic, and you can feel the love and care put into every detail of the house. Breakfast was a highlight: the toast with eggs and bacon was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had in my life. Everything about our stay was perfect – 5 stars without a doubt. Just a 5-minute walk away is the Korsman Bird Sanctuary – a peaceful, breathtaking lake surrounded by incredible nature. You’ll see some of the most beautiful birds and wildlife – it’s truly a hidden gem. The whole area is quiet, relaxing, and full of stunning homes and scenery. Highly recommended – we can’t wait to come back!

United KingdomOnly minor gripe was the shower which was quite small and didn't have a door meaning we were left with a soaking bathroom floor and toilet every time we used it.
Stayed at Wild Tree Lodge for 4 nights during a family visit. It was an ideal location for us to be near family, but is also well located for the airport and getting to other areas. I enjoyed the nearby Kosman Bird Sanctuary for morning runs. Security was good and the room and grounds were large and well appointed. We didn't get to use the pool as the weather wasn't great, but it was sparkling clean and had a nice area for relaxing and soaking up the sun. The staff were amazing, as were the breakfasts, with great choice and service. The area where meals were served next to the pool was lovely. We didn't have any evening meals there, but based on the breakfast, I'm sure these would have been great. Rooms had a small fridge and there is a kitchen area with a microwave and crockery and cutlery, so great if you just wanted to grab a ready meal, take away and self cater. It was also great value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

AustraliaWild Tree Lodge is a gem. As a first-time visitor to Johannesburg, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelly, the host, was incredibly helpful and made everything easy from the moment I arrived – the service level is truly top-notch. The lodge itself is a large house on an estate, divided into beautifully appointed boutique-style rooms. The attention to detail is flawless, and everything is thoughtfully set up for both business and leisure travellers. I was there for work, and the space was perfectly suited – practical yet relaxing. The first thing I noticed when I entered my room was the sense of calm, and the sound of birds calling – some I’d never heard before. It genuinely made me smile. The cook prepared excellent hot meals that were the perfect comfort food after long days, and on weekends when the kitchen was closed, Kelly made sure food delivery was sorted without any fuss. It’s a short drive from the airport, and absolutely worth it. I can’t fault Wild Tree Lodge, and I’ll definitely be back on my next business trip from Brisbane.
