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.).

South AfricaEverything was excellent, no complaints.
The food was wonderful, and the location, with the wild lions surrounding you, is just fantastic.

South AfricaWe booked the superior chalet the kitchen was shared kitchen I didn’t like that . The shared lounge and kitchen needs some upgrades and the pool area for the chalets also needs upgrades. None the less the host was the best💞
The other side of the property where they have a bar and 2 pools was nice and feedings of lions was super nice

South AfricaMaybe cause they are short staffed. The areas was not properly cleaned but the place has a lot of potential if it was consistently cleaned.
The staff and the food. The animals too.

United KingdomI didn't like the fact that I had to pay a full price for half the experience, we had to leave without eating breakfast due to power cut and no water.
We had to upgrade to another room in the main building and it was lovely with great views of the lions. Unfortunately we had no electricity in the night and morning as well a water. The place generally is lovely but what is shown on the old site is not price compatible.

South AfricaI didn't like the fact that there was no note on the main gate to direct guests on what to do upon arrival. The bush has zero signal to make contact. It will help a great deal to communicate to guests on what to do upon arrival. I stood on the gate for a while before realising that I can just push it open.
I liked the scenery and the location away from the day to day life. Smally, Teacher and Mercy were amazing and attended to most of our needs

The place is situated well 8n the bushes. Great for pair of couples or friends. Charlets are nice and clean. The sound of the lion's during the night is epic. Staff is amazing (Smolly and Mercy) Definitely going back again during winter.

BotswanaSelf catering cannot be done with a kitchen like that. Needs a complete makeover and equipping to make a comfortable stay. Get a full stove with oven. Lighting around the chalets needs attention. Minor attention inside the chalets is required to brighten them up and uplift guests mood eg lighter colors inside. Finally...consider activities such as quad biking and improve target shooting experience.
Very accessible, quiet, and well laid out lodge. Lots of cats to see. Very friendly staff. Lovely chalets and swimming pools.
