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...).

South AfricaOur bedroom shower was filthy and the fridge had mould, it wasn’t cleaned at all.
The exotic animals right outside the rooms was great. The pool area, the house itself is so spacious and the boma area was a hit.

South AfricaThere nothing to not like about this place.
A week later since our previous stay we decided to visit the lodge again . We thought we liked the place but the we realised that we loooove the place. Nothing beats the service and the experience had at the lodge. We would definitely recommend it without thinking twice.

South AfricaThe wifi wasn't working, so was the tv. Otherwise, everything was excellent.
The place was really breathtaking, the staff was also great as we we were accommodated for late check-in as we ran late. The dinner and breakfast were very great. We really enjoyed the jungle atmosphere even though we missed our game drive due to late arrival and will definitely visit again for longe stay...

South AfricaThe fact that they keep white lions, black panther, hyenas, and imported tigers was very upsetting. They are purely there to amaze the guests. They had limited shade and there was no water in the basins from where we could see There is a container that was running in the evening and quiet disturbing
The breakfast was stunning and cooked and served by a staff member that also meet and greet us

South AfricaThe room wasn’t clean, the pool wasn’t clean, the place isn’t like the pictures. Doors don’t lock properly, the host unlocked the door with a knife. Couldn’t spend the night, had to leave and look for another place to spend a night at.
The hosts were friendly.. the place is quiet and they have beautiful animals.

South AfricaI traveled with my family, breakfast time was out. I was told that my breakfast will be at 10;30 n checkout is at 11. I received that massage while I was at the main lodge waiting for food. Who eats breakfast at 10? Kids were hungry so we decided to leave. Another thing they always tell people about game drive while their cars are broken. I was there few weeks back we were told that we will go animal tour but that didn't happen. Even now they did the same while their cars were parked were we left them few weeks back.

BotswanaLoad shading was a bit problematic, atlist provide a backup generator to take over when ever electricity shuts down... No internet, please provide free internet. Above all that's a place I can tell my friends to visit.
The break fast was very delicious and on point I cannot wait to go back for a longer period this time. The location of the place in good as well as it's in the outskirts. Lastly fun was had and we enjoyed.
