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.).

GermanyNo warm water to shower, the pool was cleaned during all 3 days we stayed, and the communication was poor in terms of processes (time of dinner / lunch / breakfast and game drives), especially as the schedule switched during our stay from summer to winter. Also security instructions in terms of how to get to the tent after sunset was not well explained / other guests helped us. Furthermore, we asked for a bush walk directly when checking in, and it could not be offered to us during the whole stay - very sad.
Very great tented Safari camp and fantastic Game Drives. Within 2 nights, we had 4 Game Drives and could see not only Zebras, Elephants, Giraffes, but also Leopard, Rhino, Cheetah - thanks to our great driver Devance. Food was also very nice and as the accommodation was without fence, we saw elephants drinking next to the pool and eating next to our tent.

SwitzerlandThe Khoka Moya camp tends to focus on larger, organised groups and we felt slightly out of place at times. Don't let this put you off but I hope management address this. They do have a second site nearby with more private guests.
The local staff were engaging and charming. Our safari guide Dan was the best! He made our stay fun and so memorable. We also got to see all the animals we wanted to. We even had elephants wandering through the camp to drink at the waterhole at the centre of the camp.

BelgiumIt is mentioned on the page, but drinks are not included in the all inclusive (not even soft drinks). We felt that, considering the price paid, all soft drinks should be available. This is the only minor point for the whole stay, that was incredible.
Best trip of our lives. The camp is located within the Manyeleti reserve (it’s not easy to find on the gps, but is very well indicated as from the moment you arrive at the gate). We saw animals as from the moment we passed the gate : zebras on the road, elephants roaming around the swimming pool (they were there every day of our stay!). We were afraid of not seeing many animals because we came in the rain season (January) but we saw the Big 5 in 3 game drives! Devance was an excellent guide and we learned a lot about the area thanks to his broad knowledge. The food was excellent, and they even organised a special braai for New Year’s Eve.

GermanyWe were almost charged double with the entrance fee, that was not so nice. It was corrected immediately… but it wasn’t so nice. We also did not have warm water, even though we were told there should be.
The most amazing thing was to see the Elephants at the water whole and the pool just in front of the accommodation. The warmed bed (with this electrically warmed blanket) was so great.

AustraliaMy only quibble is that even though there were a few empty dining tables, we were all grouped together for "team building," even though people at our table spoke three different languages - IMO, this was completely unnecessary. This had nothing to do with the staff but, as I understood, the decision was imposed from above.
Everything was great, and our guide, Keke, was very knowledgeable. The staff was friendly, and the food was nice.

South AfricaThe water didn't stop dripping after we put the valve off. There was no hot water the first night and we never had WiFi in our room for the entire trip. The issue was we had no way to communicate to the reception after dark other the loud blow horn.
Loved that we were in the middle of the bush and loved the sound of nature and most importantly the wild animals right next to the tent.

South AfricaMy stay was too short! It would be nice to have local and international rates when pricing. After all locals are not converting from any currency but using the Rand. Besides that this was money well spent.

We loved everything about our stay. Staff were all great in the camp and our guide was very knowledgeable and found us some wonderful animals on our game drives. The meals prepared by the chef and his team was delicious and plenty of it. Between game drives it was lovely to relax at the tent or at the swimming pool. Elephants came down to drink at the waterhole in the camp as well as the pool which was a spectacular sight to see.
