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 KingdomOn the crocodile river, book a river facing chalet. We were close to the pool, a welcome refresh from the sun. Slept well in comfortable bed with fresh white linen . Everything needed for self catering. Quick drive to malelane gate. Consider a wild card for free access to Kruger park if you are here for 5+ days .

South AfricaSecurity at night seemed to be a bit lacking as the gate does not close at night. Also, there’s a small gate at the back of the property that’s also always open so anyone can walk into the resort without notice.
Location great. River view of the park and close to malalane gate. 2 x swimming pools and restaurant on site was very welcome.

United KingdomInside the chalet was very dark. There was air con in the bedrooms but only a fan in the main room.There was no table for 4 people to eat a meal at, unless we ate outside ( then the chairs were very low).
The view from the chalet patio over the river, where we saw elephants, hippos and many birds. The swimming pools were warm and clean. It was a lovely peaceful location. It was easy to get a Kruger safari from the chalet.

South AfricaUnfortunately the aircon in the Garden view cottages seem under sized for the room. So in the December heat the room struggles to get cool. The "kitchen" in the Garden view cottages are very basic
Great location if you're staying in any of the River view rooms (the garden view are are set a little further back... No view of the Crocodile river, but a short walk away.) Comfortable rooms. Good wifi, great staff.

The location is amazing and the staff are simply just wonderful, we had the most amazing time, Zama helped us with every request and Lithle kept the chalet spotless for the entire time we were there, we could hear lions in the distance and just observe elephants drink from the crocodile river at all times of the day.
