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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

PortugalIt can be a bit noisy in the evenings during weekends depending on the room, because there's a club nearby playing loud music. I wore earplugs, so it was fine. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
The staff are very professional and helpful. Facilities are always clean and well maintained. Very spacious and comfortable room. Food was delicious with plenty to choose from.

We couldn’t show up for our first night due to a flight cancellation. The manager said he wouldn’t charge us for this. We didn’t even ask. He just offered. After that he made sure we had a kettle and hair dryer sent to our room. Great service. The hotel itself is set in quiet gardens away from the street but still very handy for the city. The rooms are well equipped.

United StatesThe location does not have things like restaurants in walking distance. On the other hand, it was quiet at night which I much appreciated. The restaurant could offer smaller portions at less price. Portions are huge.
Breakfast was fantastic. Staff was helpful, everything was kept clean. Airconditioning is my room worked great but not in all rooms.

Germanythe breakfast could be arranged in a better, more varying manner. The marmalade is served in a very tiny porcelain bowl. It is hardly sufficient to cover the tiny Croissant once served. The bread roll is not bad, but could be changed towards the usual “baguette” which is available everywhere in Buja. No butter is given with the breakfast which is more or less a no-go. Kindly arrange also the stability of the ever moving tables. A little more attention to the breakfast will improve a lot and give credits to your business.
Location is good. The spacious rooms and garden is a plus

United StatesThe power was inconsistent, which may be a regular problem in this region, but twice it happened only at our hotel and next door was fine. I think they had a problem with their generator while we were there, as one night it was out for several hours. Wifi was also somewhat inconsistent for work, but acceptable speed, as long as there was power. There were little cracks in the top of the door frame and bathroom screen that allowed mosquitos inside, but there was a mosquito net in the room, and we didn't have too many anyway. Still very nice for a relaxing in a nice hotel and using it as a base to see some of Burundi.
We were very happy with our few days here on a short visit to Burundi. The staff were all very nice and helpful, breakfast was plentiful and good, lovely grounds, good amenities, and a good location right across from Lake Tanganyika, though it's not as nice a beachside view as I'd hoped. There's a nice pool, outdoor restaurant and seating area, and a very good gym (other than the fact that the wifi doesn't reach inside). The room and bed were spacious and comfortable, and we slept well here.

MauritiusInitially could not get TV channels and had to call twice to have this sorted as it had something to do with payment of subscription. There were lots of bees attracted to the fruits and jam at breakfast and swirling around me. Bathroom had a bathtub and I had to hold showerhead with one hand for a shower.
Polite and helpful staff. Hotel premises well maintained. Nice breakfast. Within walking distance of le Mussée Vivant and the lake shore.

South AfricaWell, the hotel is close to the lake. Yes, there are Mosquitoes. We encountered them outdoors, especially in the evening. No problem in the room. Citronella oil prevents them from getting on your nerves.
I am glad I chose this hotel at the end of our trip through Central Africa. It was very relaxing with birds chirping all day. The nights were quiet, the days were not overly loud. Everything we had hoped for was there. Working air conditioning and fridge. Clean, good sized rooms, balcony overlooking the garden. Nice restaurant on the roof overlooking the lake. Tasty and well-prepared dishes are served. Breakfast in the green pool area, surrounded by beautiful trees. Breakfast was included in the booking. We opted for the American breakfast, which included a large plate of fresh fruit and omelette, and you can order anything you like from the menu for an extra charge. The garden restaurant is open from early morning until late evening. The pool is very clean, a good size, well maintained and modern. My husband enjoyed working out in the gym next to the pool. Since we were in Burundi, things work differently than in other countries. In general, it takes a long time for food to be prepared throughout the country. We noticed that in many hotels the food is prepared over a charcoal fire. Waiting time between 30 - 90 min. Be patient. WiFi works very well everywhere on the premises.
