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’s honestly nothing to dislike about this young gem 💎 of a location.
Stunning views from the comfort of your bed. The location of the property is truly a thing of beauty 😍 with our room overlooking the uMfolozi River and the Game reserve. The views of the sunset 🌅 over the uMfolozi Mountains from our bedroom patio was absolutely breathtaking 🥹. The rooms had everything we needed and more for our young family’s getaway to celebrate our 7th anniversary with our 7 month old son 👶🏾. Our room even had a travel cot for him with a nanny on request when we went for the game drives. The see-through fireplace are also a nice touch. Despite all the load shedding; there was power at the lodge at all times. The hospitality from the friendly stuff really made the 6hour drive from Pretoria worth it. They really personified the phrase “Kumnandi ukuba sekhaya” 😊. Special mention to the chefs who made every dinner 🥘 meal, one to remember 😋. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Babanango and looking forward to returning there in the future. Hopefully then they would have the complete big 5, the game they already have 3 years since opening was already impressive 🙂.

South AfricaI liked my suite because it had a private pool and the bed was so huge, the linen was soft and it was super clean. The staff from management to general staff and tour guides were very welcoming and friendly. The food was excellent and the views are out of this world. I really enjoyed the afternoon game drive that ended with watching sunset over drinks with Wildebeest grazing past us. Beautiful is an understatement. I came back a totally different person .

South AfricaYou could add a snack bar in the room.
Every single staff you meet wears a genuine smile, friendly and eager to help you or just have a conversation. I had a pleasant interaction with Mbongiseni Ngema who drove me twice from the lodge to the hub. He treats the lodge as though is his. He wants all my friends and acquaintances to come see the place. Anyways it’s an easy sell because the place is as amazing as it’s people. I must say, the fire-place definitely adds to the cosy and warm ambience. It’s unforgettable!!!
