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.).

United StatesThe lodge is very large and it can probably be noisy when it reaches capacity. There were only a few guests when we stayed there. It needs some TLC. After ordering the dinner it took over 1 hour before the food was ready. The restaurant was not full, just one group of 8 people.
The location of the resort is very nice but if you are looking for a quiet place, it is better to stay on one of the islands. They have a bonfire at night where you can sit and relax. The massage was very good.

South AfricaUnfortunately, not all guests were as considerate as they could have been which led to a few interrupted nights sleep. My bed had many creaks
Location was just amazing and the staff were some of the friendliest and most helpful I’ve ever met!! We did have a problem with the noise levels of other guests, and the General Manager, Brigit, was simply incredible and did all she could to apologise and rectify a problem that was not her fault. She is the best!

HungaryThe double bed in the tent is quite small and narrow, I’d recommend to reconsider if you are above 180 cm! Coffee for breakfast was a bit disappointing, but this is just personal taste. Didn’t try the bar, maybe they can offer classic, espresso type.
The resort is well equipped, shower/toilet blocks are comfortably close to the tents, clean, always have toilet paper, hand washing soap as well as hot water. The tent is very nicely located and has lots of space, one plug inside and one outside. The à la carte dinner we tried was very nice, the breakfast also offers enough variety. The resort offers a number of activities but not forcing anything. It’s a big resort, they could host large groups, but there is enough space between the cottages and tents, it doesn’t look crowded at all.

United KingdomThe whole mess is organised chaos. Beautiful facilities, backed by sheer incompetence. They will struggle to get a meal out in less then 2 hours if they get more then 5 customers at any one time. The management blames the workers, workers blame the management. It's a bundle of incompetence, it could be such a nice place if the establishment gave it half a chance. Dare I say, even they have given up.
Location is beautiful.

RwandaAt check-out, the receptionist tried to charge us almost double the amount on my Booking.com reservation. After reaching out to Booking.com, they confirmed the correct amount was the one indicated on the reservation. The receptionist was generally slow and got aggressive when I discussed the price, making the experience quite poor (hence the low score). He also mentioned we're the first clients ever to complain about being charged more than the Booking.com amount. Just a heads up for anyone planning to book here – keep an eye out for unexpected charges!
The rooms and tents were really nice and comfy, and the best part was the stunning view of the lake. It was nice waking up to such a beautiful sight every morning!
