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.).

South AfricaWonderfully authentic hotel that, unlike its pretentious and crowded neighbours, fits into the surroundings of the Zambezi perfectly. Wonderfully friendly staff and the most amazing deck to view the sunset from.

GermanyNothing really, you just need to be mindful of the fact that it is a bit away from the city centre but just a quick taxi ride away (and the Zambezi view compensates for that!)
Nice rooms with everything you would expect. The infinity pool is spectacular and so are the views. However. the true asset is the staff they even helped me in getting a train ticket which is way beyond my expectations. All in an excellent choice in Livingstone.

Our stay was stunning with a spacious clean room, comfortable bed and lovely views over the garden. We were on the edge of the Zambezi River with views of the spray from the falls. Swimming pool was awesome. Breakfast was included and had everything plus more. We also had dinner and drinks which was stunning. We will definitely be back.

United Arab EmiratesThere was nothing we didn't like, The only thing which would be a good add would be some halal food in the restaurants menu.
Everything in the lodge from the time of check in to check out was amazing, The resort is an absolute worth to visit within Livingstone and probably one of the best things we did in. We visited in back to back in 2 weeks, The views of Zambezi river from the rooms, Room being cleaned twice every day and with the little sweet savories,

CanadaOne night's dinner was not good and we told the waiter that the ribs were very very tough and the second dinner also was not terrific. It would have been a good idea to have the chef talk to us. Nothing was done, there was no compensation at all and no one came to talk to us about the 2 poor quality dinners. The night before the dinners were very good.
Breakfasts were excellent! Staff were excellent. Beautiful location. We were very happy with the service

ZambiaThe access road is bumpy, muddy and uninviting. The rooms did not include a face towel. The stool for the convinience/study table is too low and makes it uncomfortable to use your laptop while sitting on the stool.
I liked the location, cleanliness and attitude of staff. Aircon also worked very well. The rooms are roomy, giving you a sense of adequate space. Although I didn't use the gym, I was delighted to note there is one that I can use next time.
