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 AfricaUnfortunately the pool was under renovation but I'm sure this will be sorted out soon. In the meantime we used the neighbor lodge pool which was organized by Innocent. That pool was perfect for the family to laze around in the hot sun.
Innocent and the team were extremely helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. All our requests were met and they were happy to go that extra mile to make us more comfortable. Location was Ideal for all our activities and close proximity to a shopping complex with Shoprite and a Pharmacy.

ZambiaWould have liked to at least have a bar fridge in the room for perishable supplies especially for a longer stay. Also a wifi connection would have made the stay even more comfortable. The hot water pressure was also low so it takes longer to run a bath.
The rooms are spacious, staff really friendly and accommodating. Extremely peaceful.

BelgiumAlmost everything was bad: the room was not clean, the ceiling fan was making a terrible noise, there is no comfortable chair inside the room and sitting outside is not possible because of the insects. Breakfast was very bad, just some chemical tasting juice, white toast, jam and butter and very bad coffee. The Wifi does not work in the room and cuts off every few minutes. What makes it even worse is that electricity is totally cut for 8-10 hours daily with no back up! I had to cancel after my first night, and after paying for 3 nights, and asked them for a refund for 2 nights and they promised to do so.
The staff were helpful. They are the only good thing about the place.

FranceNothing, would definitely recommend the place.
Outstanding place. We stayed in a Zambian-style hut which had everything we needed inside. It was comfortable, with a very quirky charm. The location was great, not too far from the city centre as well as the Victoria falls. The staff was outstanding and very helpful, ensuring our stay was as great as it could be.

AustraliaThe inaccurate description of the property, claiming it has a swimming pool and a restaurant, these being the 2 specific facilities i sought, and neither were available. The facility is difficult to find at night and is located quite a distance from town. Accessing the property at night was difficult as there were no lights around the premises to indicate where the reception was. I checked in at 7pm and was told that the restaurant was closed. The reception staff were appallingly rude and it took 1hr of them yelling at me, before they offered to cook my 8yr old son a fried egg and toast for his dinner. None of the food outlets contacted were prepared to deliver food to the lodge due to its distance from town. The staff also blatantly refused to provide me with the manager/owners details. Very poor water pressure in the room, also meant that the bath in the room is purely decorative as the water trickles in. The chalet's security left a lot to be desired, as the outdoor shower has a gate that opens external to the unit, that was unlocked and thus accessible to all, giving direct access to the chalet itself. The premises surrounding the chalet too, were in darkness.
The actual chalet was clean, well designed and comfortable.
