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...).

We stayed here on our return to Maun. We were driving at this stage, so the out of town location was fine. Without a car, it is a bit far out.
Everything was fine. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and spacious with a nice bathroom . Parking was easy and convenient. The bar and restaurant are pleasant with an optional outdoor option.

The lights in the facility are very bright during the evening. I appreciate that because it increases the feeling of safety but I would invest in thicker curtains for the main windows that face the lights.
It was easy to get to and find especially since we were driving in late at night. Staff were extremely friends, food options were good (breakfast was excellent), allowed late check out with little trouble. Parking facilities and privacy were excellent. In room facilities were excellent.

Shower is simple, as is washbasin which in room 6 was without hot water, but the sink in the room had ample hot and cold water. Ask for a room away from the busy main road.
A simple but well maintained lodge at the outskirts of Maun, not possible to go there without a car. Great for a night before driving to or coming back from the national parks. Excellent value for money. Small, simple restaurant with healthy and properly priced breakfast. Good airconditioning, also for heating in winter.

The main door doesn't close correctly what means: a dirty room (specially in windy nights, as we had), too much clarity in the morning and you can hear all the noise from outsdie the room.
there is a private car parking shade per each room, appreciated to avoid the sun and also the sand in your car. Rooms are big and has a comfortable bed

Nothing really for the money we paid , It would be ungrateful to point out anything unpleasant really
The Lodge Completely exceed our expectations. The bed was bigger all the beds we had slept on our long trip . For the money we paid it was completely more than we expected . The breakfast was equally great . We wished we had more than just a night spot . Thank you Mokoro

you need a car when you stay here as it is quite a bit outside the city center of Maun (which is not worth a visit, by the way, a pretty dusty place).
simple but clean motel-style place outside of Maun, good for a one-night stay in transit. Ok breakfast, overall good value for money. Rooms close to the main road can be a bit noisy.

I booked for 2 adults and 2 kids, however, our room just had one large bed, we fitted and made do. We were shown another room with 2 beds but both beds were too small. Lighting was poor.
Easy access, on the main road. Easy check in and check out. Comfortable, the heater was really appreciated. I felt it was value for money.
