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 AfricaIt is in the outskirts far from transport. There is no available masseuse. They outsource. If they can have their in-house therapist it will work to the advantage
The property is beautiful with specious rooms and comfortable large beds which gives value for money. Cleanliness is top and beautiful garden The food were so delicious. Stuff and cleaners were friendly . Next time I go to livingstone I'll consider the facility

PortugalFood could be better, same as service. The wifi was a nightmare. If you want to do several activities around Victoria Falls and do not have your own means of transportation, would not recommend as it is located far apart from town and taxis can be expensive.
The hotel looked new, with a clean decoration, very comfortable room and common spaces. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean. AC was not amazing. The pool is definitely the best spot.

South AfricaThe menu could have incorporated more of the Zambian cuisine. It did have a few local items, but I found it heavily skewed towards a more Western diet. The lodge is nestled within the scenic outskirts of Livingstone, yet the menu did not convey this. It was a missed opportunity to tie in local dishes and allow guests to try things they might not have the chance to try elsewhere. The windows had a wire mesh installed to prevent pests from entering, which was useful, but prevented the windows from fully closing.
Nkhosi Lodge stands out amongst the other accommodations in Livingstone. It is beautifully designed, incorporating elements of the natural environment around it. It sits slightly above the surrounding area and so you get a nice, natural panoramic view from the pool deck and dining area. The room was surprisingly spacious and well-designed. The staff was friendly and well-informed about activities in the area and the chef was accommodating about food requests. Excellent value for money. You will need transport, since it's about 20 minutes from the main road, which is itself 10-20 minutes from the city center. Special shout out to Chris, Jelina and Natasha for their excellent service. Nkhosi is a vision of what the Zambian lodge industry can be: thoughtful and well-designed while not exorbitantly priced.

South AfricaThe place is out of town. But there are taxis on request and they came on time. The wifi signal was not strong enough in my room, had to go to reception on restaurant to get a better signal.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Enjoy the traditional Christmas carols by locals. Peaceful environment, a great place to just unplug from city life. No TV, which was a plus for me.

The stay was incredible. The staff accomodated every of our wishes and treated us like royalty. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. The dining experience was exceptional, again making sure all dietary requirements were met. What really stood out was the personalized attention given to each guest, making us feel truly special. Overall, our stay was a remarkable blend of luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. Highly recommended for those seeking an unforgettable experience.

United KingdomNo complaints ☺️
A lovely tranquil stay located on the outskirts of Livingstone and only 10 minutes away from the Victoria Falls. Our room was clean and spacious with air conditioning, and a great place to relax if you’ve been out and about. The lodge facilitated booking for all our activities (game drive, mukuni village and devils pool) which certainly made my our lives easier - and they were able to arrange taxis and airport pick up/drop off. Make sure you have plenty of cash on you as you’ll need it for taxis and purchasing any souvenirs (it’s about a 20 minute drive to the city centre). Special shout out to Natasha, Chris and Biggie who made our stay a delightful experience. We would definitely visit again. P.s. if you have a clear night, take a moment to look up and gaze at the stars. Really quite breathtaking - especially if you’re from a city!
