Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 AfricaThe wooden floors in the living area is very noisy. Probably better to drive a SUV with the gravel road.
Excellent property. Beautiful views. Heated swimming pool is great. We liked that the rooms are seperate to the living area for privacy.

South AfricaThe gravel road getting there was terrible - only for high-clearance vehicles. It’s a bit weird that the bedrooms aren’t connected to the main house - we had to take the (luckily short) walk in the rain to our rooms - but nothing terrible. There was a golf cart in the garage but no keys to it - would have been nice to use it (even if at an extra cost).
It’s very well appointed, has all that you need for a leisurely family stay. Facilities and amenities are ample and beyond the norm - you literally only bring your food and supplies. Very convenient and clean. This particular unit has, in my opinion, the best view of all the properties at Elements - we saw giraffes and kudu, etc. right from the verandah. Loved the nice to haves: heated pool, pizza oven, Nespresso machine, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Full DSTV bouquet (would have preferred they spend that money on WiFi as the network there isn’t great). They even had games for the family to play. Lots of wildlife sightings within the game farm as well as on the gravel road near it. Loved it!!

South AfricaI would suggest they make a communication of the rules/things to do not to do available in the unit. There were sone mishaps that could have easily been sorted with prior notice.
I would book the place again for myself and my clients.

South AfricaThe gravel road. Didn't expect the gravel road to get to the destination, but it was all quickly forgotten when we finally made it to the reserve. About 15 minutes should be enough to get you to the destination so it is not too bad - would do it again!
Nicely tucked away in the wild. Very cozy. All the required necessities and more. Very clean and well maintained rooms and big enough you house the whole family or group of friends.

South AfricaHeated pool was not working, toilets are dirty, rooms had tea only no milk, no sugar sachets, no coffee sachets. The person responsible Suzette for the room was too unfriendly and very rude. I spend the whole weekend calling her about the coldest pool and she was not helpful at all. Not value for my money at all. The rating should be decreased to 2. Toilets even have cobwebs. I
