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 AfricaA Truly Special Stay at Zulu Lami Eco Estate My recent stay at the Zulu Lami Eco Estate in Jozini was an absolute delight from start to finish. If you're looking for a peaceful and authentic getaway with breathtaking views, this is the place to be. The first thing that captivated me was the incredible scenery. The estate offers an excellent view of the Jozini dam, which created a serene and picturesque backdrop for my entire visit. Waking up to that view each morning was a highlight in itself. The accommodation, in the style of traditional Zulu huts, was another unique feature. The rooms were not only comfortable and cozy, but they also offered an immersive cultural experience that made the stay feel even more special. Another unforgettable aspect was the great outdoor shower. It was such a refreshing and unique experience, adding a touch of adventure to my daily routine. What truly sets Zulu Lami apart, though, is the staff. Everyone I met was welcoming and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. Their genuine hospitality made me feel right at home and truly valued as a guest. I highly recommend Zulu Lami Eco Estate for anyone seeking a unique and memorable stay. The combination of stunning views, authentic rooms, and the warm hospitality of the staff makes it an experience I won't soon forget.

The view of Jozini dam especially at sunset was incredible. The lodge layout like a zulu village was an experience that was unique. The rooms were so modern. It was the most comfortable bed we ever slept on. The food was delicious and it was well sign posted to be able to get there. The outside shower was a beautiful experience and I liked that it also had a bath option inside.

South AfricaBreakfast was not value for money. There was no cereal or variety. Please upgrade your ricoffey to a better Coffey. Add mirrors in the rooms and TV with dstv. Water comes out slowly in the bathrooms. Your chairs need cushions for comfort. We need more lights in the room, it's dark at night.
Quietness and cleanliness. Warm and hospitable staff.
