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.).

BahrainIt's really noisy in the area with the set up tents as they are really close to each other. We'd been camping for 10 days through botswana and Zambia already so it's not like we weren't used to camping but people were partying for hours and staff were out and about chatting really early. I wouldn't reccomend the tents if you wanted a chilled relaxing time.
The location was great. Right on the Zambezi with a fantastic view. The restaurant had really great food and drinks and the staff were super helpful. We stayed in a tent which was very clean with comfy beds and it was a great place to relax by the pool.

JapanWe booked a river view, I think it was over priced. There are trees and boats which interrupt to see the view from the room. It wasn't worth to pay extra price for view.
The restaurant has a beautiful view and good food. sunset time is great. We will back here again, but won't take river view room anymore 😔

GreeceThe location is outside of the city centre and very close to Victoria falls and you need to take a taxi to go everywhere which can be expensive. I like to walk around and explore and I was limited about that
The property is very well organised and people are top notch! Super friendly , happy to help and accommodate everyone! They organise all the tours and it’s very convenient and in really good price

South AfricaThe water was too limited for drinking and it was then controlled on how much you can take from the water tank after you are only given two bottles in the room. i think people need to be offered sufficient since also the place doesn't trust their own tap water. I am from outside the country to i cannot be going to town to get water only because the hotel is limiting us
I loved everything about my stay, the room was small for a couple. it was clean and the breakfast was properly done and satisfying. only the monekeys were a problem which it cant be controlled but over all everything was great.

South AfricaA double bed in the family room would have been nice but it's also understandable. The bath does have a shower head, it's not the best but it works. A shower would have been nicer.
Staff are amazingly helpful. Location is so close, we loved it. They have an activities centre on site so you can organise days of fun! The room was big with an aircon and a fan, turndown was great and the bathroom was clean. Beautiful views and the pool was refreshing

South AfricaWe had originally booked the tents which were like a sauna when we went to have a look on arrival. The ablutions were very basic and needs some work done in terms of upkeep and cleanliness. We upgraded to Adventure Rooms which were basic but we stayed comfortably. New matrassas may be in order. Although I am giving an honest review we loved staying here. It was the perfect accommodation for our African adventure.
We had a wonderful holiday at VFW. The staff were so attentive and helpful. The breakfast was decent and the lunch and dinner menu was good. We enjoyed sitting next to the river for meals which delivered the most beautiful sunsets. Will definitely be back. Also the garden and grounds were a particilar favourite and we could see that a lot of love goes into maintaining it.
