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.).

Kids loved the pool. Air con in all bedrooms made it even special. It would have been better if sofas were more comfortable & more options for breakfast. I would recommend the Guesthouse. ,

United StatesThe driver who took us to Vic Falls town from Kasane in Botswana had a hard time finding the property when we first arrived, so I would recommend providing detailed instructions directly to guests before they arrive. While we appreciated Herbert's advice on activities and dining and connecting us with a great driver who we used to drive us around Vic Falls, it would be ideal for the owners/staff to be fully prepared to discuss all the possible activities that tourists might want to engage in, and where and how to reserve them, with inside tips on the best tour guides and companies. For example, it was only on the last day, when the driver was taking us to the airport, that it came to light that we could also have hired him to be our tour guide at Victoria Falls itself, rather than the mediocre tour company through which we ended up booking those tours (via the intermediary Viator). We made the decision to book a Vic Falls tour because we wanted to visit both sides, which is more complicated because you have to cross the border, go through Zim and Zambia border formalities, and then go some distance from the border post in Zambia up to the Zambian national park. This was fairly logistically involved -- e.g., the Zim tour guide and driver handed us over to a Zambian tour guide and driver and then met up with us again when we were done on the Zambian side -- and I didn't want to try to figure out the logistics and the transportation myself, particularly with children in tow. If you stay on the Zim side, you definitely don't need to pay money for a tour guide if all you're doing is going to the park, for which the entry fees are already exorbitant. Beware also that at least if your cell phone is with a U.S. provider, roaming probably won't work in Vic Falls (even on the Zambian side), presumably for lack of an agreement with local carriers. The wifi at Chitova's Guesthouse was reliable and fast and helped make up for the lack of cell service.
This is a very spacious house in the Aerodrome neighborhood of Victoria Falls town, about two miles from the national park and the border with Zambia. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms are available to guests, which far exceeded our needs (two adults and two kids, aged 9 and 11) but we appreciated all the space. The beds were comfortable and the A/Cs in each bedroom worked well. The pool was clean, with a nice waterfall, and very refreshing as the temperature exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit every day. To get to the touristy part of town and the national park, you really need to take a taxi or have a driver unless you have your own car. There was a housekeeper who cooked us delicious breakfast each day.

United KingdomOnly observation. Two off fans in living room would be more efficient and useful by replacement with Air Con.
Very large and comfortable Villa with many bedrooms, most with en-suite facilities. Also a very large living room and kitchen. Air Con in all bedrooms. A clean and well kept pool on the property. Breakfast provided and Villa and grounds very secure, although area is very safe and locals are also very friendly. Wifi is very good also. Just a short taxi ride from Victoria falls, the Town and boarder crossing to Zambia. Many good restaurants also a short taxi ride away. Also arrangements for Safari’s and other tours easily arranged with the property Manager Herbert, who was very communicative, pleasant and helpful. Always easily accessible and a very nice person. Couldn’t recommend the property any higher than I do. Excellent.
