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 reviewThe atmosphere of the lodge was so beautiful. We are in a big family with an excellent services and a lovely people. The guide was very focused to respect the nature but in the same time expertise to share the trick of the animal and our behaviour. We was guest of the nature.
Take care that the drop temperature night and day be important.

Verified reviewFirstly it's not just about the room and facilities when one travels, it is also important that one feels welcome and staff are there for the guest when needed. Natalie and team excelled at this where nothing was too much trouble. The lodge is close to Crocodile Bridge gate into KNP which is very convenient. We opted for picnic packs to take into the park and also had the buffet breakfast option. The lodge has a dining (menu is simple, not fancy) and offer barbecue evenings. The room was spotless and comfortable, big TV, spacious, modern shower bathroom, mini bar. A nice touch was the complimentary fruit and water on arrival.

Verified reviewI spent four wonderful days in this lodge in mid-June with my wife and 9-year-old son. The lodge is immersed by nature and the surrounding atmosphere is truly fascinating. During an afternoon walk in the Marloth park (where the lodge is located) we were lucky enough to meet a couple of giraffes! But it is also normal to have breakfast with a group of impalas in front of you. Our suite was very clean and spacious, with a charming appearance. The same can be said for all the other spaces in the lodge. The breakfast offers a wide choice, able to satisfy every palate. A warm greeting to Joseph, the chef, who prepared delicious dinners for us, including the braai: a unique experience, to try! Finally, a huge thank you to Natalie who helped us organize several activities, giving us the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience. Her support was truly exceptional. I recommend this accommodation to everyone.

Verified reviewThe stay was conveniently located near the Kruger National Park. All facilities were in excellent condition. Rooms were super clean. The staff were helpful and warm. It has a short hike of its own to the crocodile river. You'll spot a few Impalas, Zebras, Kudus, Warthogs, and more on the way. Best spot to catch the sunrise. Natalie is an amazing host. She ensured we were comfortable for our night safari, helped us with warm blankets. Right from my fasting requirement, adapters, dinner, timings, shuttle, and everything was on point. Special mention to the Braai in the Booma, what an experience. The chef and the servers were careful about our food choices(we are Indians who eat non-veg but not beef) and kept us engaged throughout. Another shoutout to the washrooms, designed thoughtfully. You'll also love the linen spray, and I bet carry one bottle along with you. We were satisfied that we chose Kruger Eden Lodge.
Nothing at all!

The entire team was wonderful: polite, friendly, confident, and kind. The accommodation is comfortable, safe, and the internet worked perfectly the entire time. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent and exceeded our expectations. The location is also fantastic — very close to the entrance gate for the Safari, which made everything very convenient. A special highlight goes to Natalie, who went above and beyond: I had forgotten my jacket in the Safari vehicle, and she managed to retrieve it in less than an hour! Honestly, this place has become one of our favorites. Natalie, thank you so much for your warm welcome, and our sincere thanks to your amazing team. Lara and I wish you all the very best!

The hotel has a path to the river, where you can walk and enjoy Marloth park and it's beautiful inhabitants.

All good, except they must improve on food offering and varieties as well as pricing, we found the cost of breakfast and dinner extremely high, which would put people away or to look for alternative restaurants etc. The quality of the food was good and Chef Joseph was brilliant!
Dear Stojan, thank you for taking your time to review and for your excellent rating. We appreciate that very much especially your input regarding the restaurant.
