Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomWe had the most incredible stay at Ranger Camp. The staff were some of the most hospitable we have ever met and we have travelled a lot. Joe our guide was truly amazing and spent hours tracking the big 5 for us. A very memorable trip!

SwedenFood and other facilities have a bit more work to do. Cleaning and food serving could step up a bit but also this is not one of those five star lodges. Things are a bit broken and dirty and the plants are not very well kept. With some extra work another star could be earned
The ranger we were set up with, Jimmy was fantastic and made our trip very good. The safari was great and that's why we came. Jimmy was five star

South AfricaNothing major wrong, but with a little more effort could be made better. Coffee breaks used a lot of single use plastic, and coffee options were very limited. Food was very simple.
Perfect destination for a quick break from Joburg. Camp and rooms were comfortable and well laid out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Decent selection of wines and other drinks. Breakfast omelets were delicious!

South AfricaIf it wasn’t for the quality bush and animals and location it will be a very mediocre stay. The pits is the poor quality of the coffee never mind that there is no coffee in the bedrooms. They should definitely stress the fact that the only means of bathing is an outside shower. A real safari drive should include quality snacks guys, really, the dried out spring roll per person and a little bag of peanuts just doesn’t cut it, some biltong and droëwors is much more authentic.
Love the location, bush and the animals, great game drives and saw beautiful animals, even saw cheetahs chasing wildebeest.

South AfricaWhen coming from Polokwane make sure to use Mokopane route (R101) and not the N1. Also take note there’s a Gravel road to the lodge.
From our arrival to departure we received the best hospitality. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beds had electric blankets which came in very handy. Food was absolutely exceptional. The highlight was the game drive! We loved it and our guide Sophia was the Best!

South AfricaWe had booked 2 deluxe chalets, but it looked like we got only one deluxe chalet with an upstairs lookout. The door to the lookout however, could not be opened, it was missing a handle. My mum and her niece were sharing that particular chalet and their bathroom did not have a door - awkward situation that needed to be navigated with one of the two needing to wait outside the chalet at times. Their chalet also had a massive problem of flying insects. While our chalet was not too bad, the insects at their chalet made it almost impossible to have a shower after the evening game drive in the outdoor shower area.
The staff are lovely. Max our guide was very good. We had so much fun laughing and joking around between sightings and game drives. He is also very well informed and we learned a lot. The animals in the park are in good condition and made for an excellent viewing experience.

South AfricaNot much.
Game drives every morning and evening we're included in our stay. It was excellent to be assigned to one ranger, who looked after us throughout our stay. Charles was a star! The accommodation tents are super spacious and well-enough equipped. Meals were good, and the bar was well stocked. Our only wish would have been to be able to stay much later around the campfire. Sadly, we couldn't do that as that would have kept our ranger up late into the night (you need to be accompanied to your tent, as there is no fence separating you from the game.

South AfricaWe have been to many lodges before in the same price range and we found certain things lacking, for instance: The snacks on the drives were shocking. There were only some rusks in the morning, no muffins or anything else. The after noon drive there were only meat samoosas when we told the lodge one of our party do not eat meat. The second day we took our own snacks on the drive. There was no water offered only the drink you specified for the drink stop. It is not expensive to open a packet of crisps. Most lodges normally give you some biltong and nuts and raisins etc . We found this very dissapointing. When returning from the drives there were no hot towels or wet facecloths to wipe your hands. It is the small things that make you want to go back.
The lodge and the rooms were beautiful. We loved the outdoor shower. Our guide (Charles) was excellent and very accomodating. The food was pleasant but nothing fantastic, actually really basic with not much choice, but we did not go hungry.
