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.).

Off a roughly paved road, and through the gates into Kamunjila Lodge opens into a parking space of 6 guest houses, a covered seating area, a restaurant and bar, pool, and spacious garden. Two mango trees produce on the land. You can hear them drop throughout the day. Visitors and staff collect and share them. Potted plants have Ignacio’s, the local artist, artwork of African animals in tasteful black and white. During season much of the food is from the property’s crops. Birds can be heard in the distance and the faint sound of children playing. I was warmly greeted by Yothame and shown to my double room that was larger than I had imagined and clean. Separate rooms for shower and toilet, desk, and suitcase stand. After showering off my flight I joined Yothame at the bar and scheduled the adventures I was keen to try. Then I spent the rest of the day soaking in the beauty of the garden and resting from my travels. It has only been a few days, but they have been memorable. Including seeing both sides of Victoria Falls, leaning over the falls at Devil’s Pool, and watching the sun set with the hippos.

AustraliaIt's a measure of how much we enjoyed staying here that the less than good mattress, and less than good shower did not put us off.
Loved the staff, the garden location. Relaxed atmosphere. Attention to care for guests was exemplary. Everything was super clean. A lovely place to stay. If you ask, they'll make you traditional Zambian food. Great breakfast. A daily blackboard menu, reasonably priced.

United StatesThis was a return stay for me. Because I flew to Livingstone this time, I did not have a cooler box with me to keep drinks and food items cool. I would appreciate micro- frigs in the rooms.
The staff was accommodating with our schedule changes. The premises are comfortable and peaceful, nestled under mature trees and in gardens. The cleanliness is spot on. The little extras like fresh water pitchers in room and greens placed decoratively around take this lodge another step up. They pay attention to the details of your stay, including taxi and tour recommendations.
