How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewWe booked camp site no4.
Lots of locals dogs around our camp site. Begging while we eat. Barking in the middle of the night. Ash dumped on the side of our camp site. Loose wooden steps to the kitchen/ablution facility. Camp sites seem to be neglected.

Verified reviewThe lodge itself is fantastic, nice decor, good buffet meal and comfortable lounges, pleasant staff. The campsite did not meet the level of the lodge
Campsite set back from river near entrance, quite gloomy, terrible smell from sewers, local dogs from settlement nosing round and growling at us. Security guard walking round listening to his radio, footsteps on our platform at night, put me off going to the bathroom. Booked 3 nights but stayed one.

Verified reviewIt's a lovely place! For us, the campsites were a little bit too close together. Reaching the camp even with our 4x4 after heavy rain via the access road was a bit tricky, but the facilities are great and we booked a sun-downer boat tour, which was quite an adventure.

Verified reviewIt was so good we decided to spend an extra day and upgraded to a room at the lodge.
At night there were a lot of large flying insects that were quite irritating, but being in Africa one quickly learns that this is just part of the natural world.

Verified reviewThe campsite’s amenities are excellent! The privacy of each campsite, specifically situated away from other campers was a welcome opportunity to rest. The evening security guards took the time to come and introduce themselves to put us at ease and later showed the children a python in a tree. We felt so welcome and loved the atmosphere. The restaurant and pool area can be commended for their service and quality food.
Unfortunately, the river was too low to go on a boat cruise and the camp isn’t located with easy and fast access to the Chobe reserve. Yet, excellent location close to Ngoma border post.
