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.).

Verified reviewWell maintained and comfortable lodge with very friendly staff
Helicopter noise during much of the day from 8am to 5pm
Dear Friedemann, Thank you for your kind words about our lodge and staff, we are so pleased you enjoyed the comfort and warm hospitality during your stay. We do understand your note regarding the helicopter activity. Being located in Victoria Falls, this is part of the wider town environment during the day between 8am and 5pm, as scenic flights are a popular way to view the Falls. Thankfully, evenings and nights remain very peaceful, allowing for restful sleep. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon. Warm regards The Nguni Team

Nguni is set in the residential area of town, where most lodges are located, and is within walking distance to town for those who enjoy a stroll.

Verified reviewThe bed was comfortable. Some of the staff members were friendly.
There were ants crawling on the wall and on the table. The water pressure was quite low at times so it took a while to shower. The meals were mediocre. Above all, I feel that it’s not value for money as I was expecting much more given the cost.
Dear Janvin, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to know that you found the bed comfortable and appreciated the hospitality from some of our team members. We are, of course, concerned to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay. While occasional maintenance challenges such as water pressure fluctuations and pest activity can occur, we do take them seriously and have measures in place to address them promptly when brought to our attention. We encourage guests to report such concerns during their stay so we can resolve them immediately and ensure comfort. Regarding your comments on value, we would like to clarify that our rates are carefully structured to reflect the location, amenities, and overall guest experience we provide. Many of our guests have found their stays to be enjoyable and well-aligned with expectations. That said, we understand that perceptions of value can vary, and we’re always looking for ways to improve. We appreciate your perspective and hope you'll consider visiting us again, perhaps at a different time, when we can better meet your expectations. Warm regards The Nguni Team
