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 are 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 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.).

South AfricaThey offer breakfast and dinner but our first night we were right on time for dinner and when we got there we were told that there is no more food by one of the waiters with a bad attitude. Spoke to Karina, management, that we were hungry and we need food. After waiting for a while we were catered for. It seems like they don't cater according to the number that has booked. Rooms were also not ready when our first couple arrived at 2pm for check in. They had to wait for about 2hours.
Communication was great. Warm welcome by management. The place is nice and small, good for people who don't like overcrowding.

South AfricaThe activities that they have seem to need some serious maintenance. Their games area - pool table balls were missing. The table tennis paddles are broken, some glue would fix that or just buy new ones. You can go kayak in the very little dam, which is nice except the big boat is broken, the peddles don't work. You can only use the oars. Why are things there if they are broken? The bicycles are awful, they are tubeless but not solid wheels, so essentially you are riding a bicycle with the flattest wheels, on sand. My suggestion is to get tubeless wheels that are completely solid wheels. And possibly new bicycles as well.
The room was amazing and the views were amazing. They have kudu that roam around and you can feed them. They have nice walking trails, if you lucky you'll spot more kudu and giraffes. This was all we saw on our walk. The breakfasts were delicious. The dinners were good but sometimes could be a bit better in terms of flavour. Daniel was incredible! He is so friendly and helpful! All the staff are friendly!

South AfricaOnly one thing I didn't like was the mouldy bread we got at breakfast on the last day:-(. That honestly disappointed me. But I alerted one of the staff members(Daniel) just as we were about to check out. He promised to attend to the matter.
Everyone at Ditholo is very warm and welcoming! A beautiful place to stay at if you're looking to take time out from the city noise, be one in nature and still keep the kids entertained. There are lots of activities to do at Ditholo, there really isn't a need to leave and go elsewhere.

South AfricaThe property provides bikes for you to explore the property on. This was very enticing for us, even though we are not cyclists. However, the bikes are old and are difficult to adjust and ride. We'd have loved to cycle around longer, but the lack of comfort of the bikes made us head back prematurely.
The place was lovely and quiet. My husband and I were there on our "minimoon." It was a great place to rest and recharge. The food was amazing, different options for dinner every night and always well prepared (great portion sizes too). Daniel, the barman, was always friendly and observant - after a week he could tell us what we would be ordering ;)

South AfricaGive the guest a choice for game or other meat. Hence, they made a plan but would prefer if they have other meat then game as a choice. The food was otherwise nice. The hot water for the 2 chalet was also not enough.
They made our anniversary very special.

South AfricaBreakfast was not nice, needs improvement. We could not do a game drive, due to some internal reasons that was not communicared prior, 😔. Didn't see animals as stated on the website. Lots of restrictions as to where you can go in the lodge, couldnt explore the lodge well. The deck was dusty, there are alot of weeds on fountain that needs to be attended to. WiFi connection is poor.
The room was clean, bed was comfortable. It's a small lodge, cousy. Enjoyed dinner, chef did well. There is a generator, loadsheeping didn't affect us. The staff was nice, assisted with directions and they are always available to help
