How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Ants in the shower but when reported, cleaning staff came and cleaned it. However, more ants came up in the shower the following day. Needs attention.

Verified reviewI 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!

Verified reviewThe lodge is situated very close to the main town, walking distance to most shops and the Livingstone Museum. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The lodge is kept tidy and clean, the surrounding trees and plants give a peaceful feeling. Zambia is experiencing a lot of power cuts but I hardly noticed when I was at the lodge because there's solar power that powers the lights and plugs when there are power cuts.
It takes a bit of effort to get the shower water temperature just right and I would have appreciated more communal areas to sit, read and relax away from the dining area. A lot of the activities and food are charged in dollars which can be quite expensive if you are using a weaker currency.

Verified reviewDinner options at the lodge were tasty.
Walk into town took a little longer than we had hoped but able to find viable if infrequent fresh and fast-food items at the locals shops. Air con is subject to power cuts but mostly on during the evenings/nighttime.

The location on Google Maps takes you to the wrong place, asked staff to look into it and also would be nice to have more food options at the restaurant.

Verified reviewFriendly Staff. Sizeable Room. Comfy Bed.
I was a little disappointed that the pool's water was cloudy and the walls and floor of it felt slimy. One of the main reasons I chose Kamunjila was for the pool which looked great in the photos, but ... Anyway, I only went in once, on the first day.

Verified reviewKamunjila 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!!!!!

Verified reviewWe 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!

Verified reviewQuiet 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.

Verified reviewTransfers were very well managed as was an afternoon game drive activity. A warm welcome. Pretty grounds. Safe and a short walk into town. Room was large with king bed. In many ways it was an ideal overnight stop on my journey home.
The food (breakfast and dinner) were a little disappointing, acknowledging the budget nature of the accommodation. The room’s curtains were a poor fit. The wifi went down with the power outage but returned when the sun started to activate the solar panels around 7.40am.
