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 reviewShower needs attention. The water does not go quick enough. The pool was not that clean. Other than that.. everything was good .. We enjoyed our stay, as this was our second time booking... peaceful place.
Good day Melissa. Thanks for your review. The filter for the shower was cleaned and is flowing great again. During your stay the faulty swimming pool pump was reported late wich is now repaired.

Verified reviewBeautiful, comfortable and set on a scenic piece of land. Staff were friendly and prompt. We plan on going back and recommending it to friends.
The bathrooms were only clean on the first day. Given that it’s a shared bathroom I suggest that it is cleaned daily.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, quiet, and very relaxing. The tent was bigger than I expected, neat and fully equipped. Andrea was only a call away and very helpful from the moment we checked in. He assisted with making fire for us for the two nights we were there..🙏🙏❤️
I liked everything but would suggest that an extra shower and toilet for both males and females be constructed as one of each caters for five tents. Other than that, everything is perfect.

Verified reviewValue for money. Great to camp. Lovely setting. Smaller tents have a view of the River, but Merry Mongoose is best for privacy. Great to use as a base to explore the area.
Thanks for the review Christine. It was a pleasure having to get some good feedback from you. We hope to see you soon.

Verified reviewThe friendly staff
There’s one access for both toilet and shower. If a person is in the shower, the next one cannot use the toilet. For the number of units there is, there should be more than one shower and toilet.
Hi Mapukata. Thanks for the review. We will look into seperate toilets at teh tents but the current bathroom is setup with the toilet seperate to the shower so I do not understand why someone cannot use the toilet while someone else is in the shower. This should not be an issue.
