Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 only thing that I wished for was for the pool to be heated.
I loved how beautiful the villa was, it had everything we needed. We loved the fact that while relaxing outside on the balcony we see animals. We loved our private pool, just wished it was heated though. But overall it was a beautiful getaway for my birthday. We also loved having to relax on the couch while the fire place is on.

Great lodge, not too far from Johannesburg to get away and get some peace and quiet. The tent was a wee bit cold, as expected, but it was a great experience nonetheless.

South AfricaThis is our second time staying at Ikaya LamaDube. I absolutely adored the space. The attention to detail that they implement makes things so special. The staff was absolutely immaculate, and they are extremely helpful and friendly. The location of the place was extraordinary. We had the best sightings in the surrounding areas from Cheetah to Leopards, the Martial Eagle. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Would definitely return!

South AfricaThe parking space is too small for a larger car, so we ended up parking parallel to the unit. Consider just moving it anyway?
The tent was warmer than expected. The verandah was nice and spacious. The boma was a winner. Kitchen is well equipped. Loved the privacy and quiet that this lodge and unit provided.

United KingdomI split my booking into two as my plans changed - so I have the opportunity to review this place twice. And thankfully so, as there isn't enough time nor space to write all the fantastic things about this property. I have found my true slice of heaven, and this will be my new yearly retreat from the UK. The staff, the villa, the location, and the surroundings all make for an exceptional stay!

United KingdomWhat an amazing property. Communication with the owners was fantastic right from booking. The lodge was well located and easy to find, signposted clearly from every approach road. On arrival we were greeted with a lovely drink and a hot towel whilst we filled out some paperwork, and then we're promptly showed to our lodge. The property was immaculate, with a heart in petals on the bed, and other beautiful little touches for our arrival. The view from the decked area is simply stunning, and we had some incredible wildlife sightings from here alone; Giraffe, Zebra, Spotted Hyena, Warthog, Impala, Hartebeest etc! Arlington Brewery, and "The Slide" are both nearby, giving great options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks if you don't want to go to the effort yourself. We will most definitely be back!

South AfricaThe roads are not made for small cars but it's off-road so I guess this is implied..
The villa was wonderful, clean. The staff were friendly and really meticulous when cleaning. The villa's location was near a waterhole and salt lick - which led to attracting zebra, wildebeest and giraffes. We made use of the Ngiri Safari's sunrise game drive, alongside the mobile spa services of Shazz' Mobile Spa which involved the masseuse setting up at the villa for us.
