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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

GermanyWe have been there the second time now. The booking was a bit complicated, as the payment goes through a second website, but once that was sorted it was all pretty perfect. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, the breakfast is delicious and there was even a surprise visit by two hippos in the garden! The rooms are well maintained, comfortable and superclean.

South AfricaBreakfast area dated and tired. Breakfast limited. Would have been nice to have a platter of the fresh fruit that is sold just down the road at the market. Small bowl of chopped fruit was the only fruit there was. Some muffins and cheese etc would have been nice. No common lounge area inside to sit in the evening and too many mosquitoes to sit outside.
Liked the pool area and garden. Liked having a view and close to forest trail.

NorwayThis is not a complaint in any way(as you can see how I rated the place), but is helpful information if you don’t have your own vehicle. Without a car you will be «stuck» at the premisses after dark cause of your own safety due to wildlife. No Ubers or taxis is found in town.
Excellent staff, super nice and very clean room with comfy bed, lodge is at the end of the main street so it is quiet from traffic and noise. Spotted some very cute bush babies in trees by the pool in the evening.

South AfricaWe would have liked access to the lounge area after 5.30pm, be better if there was a night manager enabling that to happen. Not having anyone around made us feel a bit less comfortable.

Nellie was a great host, super helpful and friendly - just like all the rest of the staff. The rooms were very comfy and had everything you need. The breakfast was delicious. The lodge is slightly further away from the main road in St. Lucia but that was perfect as we had peace and quiet and a beautiful garden with a view.

The place is relaxing. You are surrounded by nature itself. The green trees that surround you gives you clean oxygen all the time. There is no smoking or booze allowed which adds to the tranquility of the place.
