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.).

The owner is very friendly before and during the stay. The breakfast is nice and all the staff is pleasant. It was such a different and nice experience sleeping in a tent. Very clean WC. I really liked that.

PolandGarden is beautiful but attracts mosquitos, have some repellent.
Very nice place, bungalow-size tents scattered in the tropical garden. Plus common area, restaurant, fridges with drinks etc. "Tents" sound like campsite, but they are so large that it feels like almost normal rooms, more than 2m high, with beds, some furniture etc. There are electricity sockets and working WiFi inside them. Garden is fenced, completely safe. Owner is helpful and friendly.

Great in terms of location. I looked forward to the breakfast on offer. With a focus on guest being quiet, I got the best night's sleep in a bed well suited from rny troublesome back. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful.

South AfricaThe shower was small and this resulted in water spilling out onto the bathroom floor. More shelf space needed in the bathroom.
Breakfast was served in the communal dining / gathering area. There was a good choice of breakfast options in the morning including the usual English brekkie, omelets, muesli and yoghurt and pancakes.

NamibiaWe loved everything about Devocean. Where do we start? The host Sean and his son were so hospitable, in fact my boys and his son must be friends for life now. The staff were incredibly kind. The food was delicious, breakfast had a varierty of choices all lovingly cooked, we had dinner there every night too and all freshly made. The rooms are spotless and the garden is lush and green. I even spent my birthday there and the chef made me a delicious chocolate mousse. I can keep going but I want to thank Sean for making this a memorable holiday for all of us and I will miss our talks. We will be back for sure!

South AfricaWe didn't enjoy the dinner menu - the meals need a lot of improvement and were overpriced for the quality. A matt outside the room would be helpful to wipe sand from feet. The water from the shower in the cottage flooded the bathroom. Not clearly advertised as a non-smoking venue.
Sean was very helpful in explaining how to reach the accommodation from the border and gave good insight on the quality of the roads. The 'jungle' garden was beautifully maintained, and it was nice to have the room serviced every day. The bed was comfortable, and the cottage has a good-sized bathroom. The breakfast was nice, and the honesty bar was well stocked. The close quarters and shared lapa made it a good spot to meet like-minded travellers. Staff were very friendly.

Breakfast 10 out of 10! Comfortable beds. Bathrooms are nice and clean. Staff are very friendly. The dinner menu is wonderful, best foods in town and great prices for guests. We will really make a plan to come back.
