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.).

FranceI had a wonderful stay at Kamunjila Lodge in Zambia—such a peaceful and welcoming place. The garden is lush and beautifully kept, creating a true little oasis. The room was spacious, clean, and full of charm. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, making me feel right at home. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Livingstone!

SpainKamunjila is not only a lodge to stay, it is an experience. Highly recommended, if 10 is maximum, this one is 10+. The premises are beautiful if you look for something authentic. Kamunjila staff is professional, welcoming, understandable, and always ready to help. The lodge is a great example of sustainability, proximity, and awareness. You need to go to understand. If you like to taste local meal, go for the fish from the Zambezi river, try nshima or taste mango picked up for you straight from the tree. Enjoy the garden and hear the stories about plants and animals from the local expert, great guide! Get impressed by the talented artist painting in the garden. My stay was wonderful. Thank you Kamunjila!!!!!

SwitzerlandWe really enjoyed our stay in the Kamunjila Lodge. We used to swimming pool, had delicious breakfast and its not far from the center. I think it's a bit to expensive, but we had a good time and we would stay there again. The garden was absolutely beautiful, they had Mango trees and the room was also really spacious!

RomaniaQuiet location, welcoming and friendly staff, spacious and clean room with a big and comfortable bed, great food at the restaurant - it was the perfect base in Livingstone for some memorable activities. Walking distance from the Livingstone museum. They can organize activities and transfers, all went very smoothly. Good internet.

United KingdomI did find the bed a little hard - if you like a soft bed, you may also.
Kamunjila offers a really pleasant welcome in lush surroundings. I especially enjoyed the proper coffee (after endless Nescafe in Africa) at breakfast and conversations with Francois, the French host, a fountain of knowledge about southern Africa and its magical wildlife. He helped arrange a very worthwhile bicycle tour of local villages and markets for a different perspective on Livingstone. The room was absolutely fine and, given frequent power outages, it was good that the WiFi worked even during blackouts.

United KingdomSheets & pillows! Everything else was good for a budget place, the staff were friendly and my room (no 6) was quite close to the dining area, so no worries about finding my way back after dinner - there's sufficient lighting.
The welcome was friendly and my room was fine, with a fan for when the electricity for high power appliances (like aircon) were off (18 hours a day in Livingstone - the kitchen was not affected by this). The bed was quite comfortable, but the pillows were not (glad I always travel with a small one of my own!) - I understand this is a budget place, but they really were cheap. The sheets were quite elderly poly-cotton. However, there was a good mosquito net, the shower room and separate toilet were fine and very clean. The garden is delightfully shady, with a comfortable seating area as well as the dining area. Breakfast was simple, but with an option to have bacon & egg if you wanted. Limited choice at dinner, which is fine by me, and I had delicious salad one night and guacomole (outstanding) as starters the next. Small selection of beers and wine, but perfectly OK. It is within about 15 minutes of the main street and as a single woman I felt perfectly safe walking there & back during the day.

United KingdomBreakfast was not very varied and the meals a little toppy price wise. Pillows were foam filled that had gone into clumps and were quite uncomfortable please replace!
Very nice room and helpful staff. Menu was varied and always a vegetarian option. Set within a tree enclosed area it felt very relaxing and laid back. Pool good for a plunge not a swim with nice loungers. Tea and coffee always available and the friendly staff will help if you need anything. Omelettes and eggs cooked if you wish at breakfast and fresh fruit in a bowl. Kitchen in view of the restaurant eating area and it feels nice. Load shedding in operation in Zambia but with solar it didn’t affect. You can walk to gift shops. Attentive owner and manager.

Room 1 was so beautiful (local touch, comfortable bed and good shower) It was the 40th birthday of my girlfriend. She was celebrated by the Lodge to the best with gifts and chocolate cake. The owner and the staff are really welcoming and supportive. They know all the activities in Zambia and beyond. They organize trips with professionalism with Off Road Safaris.
