Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

South AfricaThere wasn't anything that we weren't satisfied with... it was perfect...
The view was spectacular, the staff were so wonderful, the food was next level and the overall experience was just fantastic. Such friendly people all over the Lodge are always willing to help or assist however they can. The rooms were so comfortable and well presented. The staff really made the whole experience more comfortable and relaxing. The food was more than we could imagine and there was so much of it! Definitely great value for money. 10/10 would recommend!

South AfricaThere are minimal activities on site. There are spa facilities on request, but the staff has to travel to get to the lodge which makes it difficult to secure a booking.
The staff is the friendliest lot. The facilities are exceptionally clean. There's a porter that transports your bags and fetches you from your room in the evenings.

South AfricaThat no one told us of activities that the Game Reserve offers other than game drives that are included in the booking and spa treatment that we had pre-booked.
The breakfast was great, the eggs were prepared just the way i like there and there were ample vegetarian options.

United KingdomBreakfast was a bit standard, some items not replaced and simple things like self service toast not offered, this may have been because there was only one 4 of us in total staying the night. The only booking options are all inclusive of safaris, would love to stay an extra night or two without two safaris on every day(even the option of just one safari per day) to fully enjoy the use of the pool, relax on the deck and just take in the views.
We had the suite with private pool, room and view were amazing. Everything within the room had been well thought out and tastefully presented. Staff were polite and friendly. Guide on the safaris, NG, was engaging and very attentive to our requests. Tried his hardest to get to see the wildlife despite the weather! Dinner was lovely, all three courses were fresh, flavourful and nicely presented.

South AfricaThe view! The hospitality was lovely, the staff attentive and friendly. The food was great and well presented. It is still a new game reserve so not heavily stocked but we had excellent sightings and the ability to watch lions mate and cheetahs hunt for a good length of time with no pressure from other game watching vehicles was special. Hendrick our guide has a true passion for the bush and loves imparting knowledge. Our room was luxurious and made even bad weather a delight as you got to enjoy the fireplace and rain, and the private pool was a treat on a hot day. My only build ( I’m not putting it as a dislike as the meal was perfectly lovely) but even when there are only two guests, there should always be a limited choice for dinner - even two options. You never know what you feel like on the day and I think selecting at lunch will give ample time to prepare

We loved everything from the location (the views come second to none), the food was amazing, our suite was stunning and comfortable and our guide (Sbu) was spectacular! It really is a special place, wishing them continued growth and we can't wait to return, to a place that felt like home.

AustraliaNothing, it so met our expectations and more!
Zulu Rock Game Park was incredible. From the beautifully appointed room with stunning view, super comfortable bed, great and spacious bathroom to the amazing 5 star delicious food and again amazing views from the dining room and outdoor deck, we were so pleased to have chosen this particular reserve. Then the staff, they were so friendly, approachable and in particular our Ranger Sbu was so knowledgable and he knew exactly where to find so many animals. We realised how lucky we were that within 24 hrs we'd seen 3 (elephants, lions and buffalo) out of the big 5, plus additional animals such as jackal, ostrich, wart hog, zebra, buck, impala, kudu, giraffe!

Absolutely everything! The staff were incredible and felt like family. Nothing was too much trouble - they even baked a little cake and sang happy birthday to my dad. The food was exceptional, and the service, top notch. Our daily game drives were mesmerising, made all the more enjoyable by the fabulous Theo! When does he sleep ? That's what I want to know. Anytime you need anything, Theo is there. He is kind, funny, and has a wealth of knowledge on all species, flora, and fauna. You can not go wrong with a trip to Zulu Rock Lodge - 5 star treatment all the way. Man, what an experience!
