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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

RomaniaStunning views, unbeatable steak, and exceptional staff – this community-run lodge in Namibia has it all. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and kindness. Knowing our stay supports the local community made it even more special. Highly recommend!

GermanyThe rooms have seen better days, don‘t expect modern furniture. The chairs on the terrace have partly been broken, which is a bit sad if you would like to enjoy the private view. A bit overpriced.
Absolutely stunning views! The pool and the main lodge are great! Also the view from your private terrace is just amazing. The service is super friendly, we even got a singing and dancing session from the kitchen staff and waitresses. The food was delicious.

United StatesThe family room was spacious, but the walls were open on top so there wasn’t much privacy between bedrooms and bathroom.
The view is incredible. You need 4WD to get to the lodge, but if you don’t have it, they will drive you up. I think it was charming. The food was good. Staff was kind and attentive.

Czech RepublicThere are a lot of stuff but check in was little tricky. I would like to have more informations about activities, everyone told me anything different about morning hike. But we really enjoyed our stay and I recommend this lodge to everyone.
The location is exceptional and you just have to spend the night here because of view. Other things are less important. You just sit and look to the canyon. You can search for elephants with binoculars. Food was tasty, breakfast was good for us. The pool was cold but we enjoyed it. You can arrive with 4x4 vehicle or there can be arranged transport from the parking.

Saudi Arabiai was afraid of birds, lizards, and snakes. thankfully I didn’t see any otherwise i would have a heart attack. this of course is normal in nature, so just be aware that it’s a natural place, so that might happen. it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. also, poor internet connection, but again- you’re supposed to enjoy the nature.
stunning location, and if you can’t make it up there they have 4x4s that will take you there once on the property. bathroom and rooms are super clean and nice to sleep in.

United Kingdomvery slow Wi-Fi
absolutely stunning location and views - one you are unlikely to forget Property is situated on top of the plateau and is NOT accessible by two wheel drive vehicles and 4WD would struggle. A minute transfer is always available Rooms are quite basic and do not have TV or Wi-Fi but the views are stunning Do take the evening sunset / wildlife drive for for a drink and a sunset you will not forget.
