How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Shuttle bus was included, but it took more than 1 hour to pick us up from airport (both times we stayed in this place). Fire detector noise in each room - do not allow to sleep.
Breakfast was ok, rooms quite big and quite clean.

The water flow was too low and the water itself not warm enough. Shower room too narrow I've seen a cockroach in the room which is not a good sign of tidiness.
Typical Ethiopian Breakfast staff was flexible and most of the time polite

The noise from the boiler and generator, there is a night club around the hotel, that plays music so load at night everyday, I struggled to sleep. The hotel does not cater for international guest and they don't allow you to bring lunch or dinner even water. I think the hotel is only good for a night stay, not for more than two days
Nothing really

- • Group

Only minor request is to review the description of the single and double rooms on the Booking.com, as they are the same. However, single rooms are quite comfortable, and the double are like apartments.
First of all, this is a great boutique hotel, with high standards applied and great staff! When we came and during our stay, we met great, kind, open and helpful receptionists Mekdes and Mahlet. We also met some male colleagues working on the doors but we did not learn their names. Nevertheless, they were all very kind and helpful. And this is what make one hotel cozy and reliable, and us guests to feel like at home. Than we've met a manager, young professional who visited each room before we checked in because he wanted to be sure that everything is in place. And he did not have much to comment on, because everything was indeed in place, and we've checked in with pleasure. Than we've met the great staff from first floor - restaurant. Apart from the fact that food was excellent (especially ribs, wraps and burgers), the staff was really making us feel like at home. We need to extend our gratitude to Mekdelawit, Meaža, Ažeb, Tirsit, Dawit, and few more persons whos names we don't know, but who all together turned to be so nice, friendly, openhearted and helpful. The location is not central, most of Europeans would like to be placed centrally (this is the reason why we didn't give the highest mark for this criterion), but actually, this location and this area is proper Addis and proper Ethiopia (unlike the city center), and we've enjoyed it faaar more than the city center. And we warmly recommend this location rather than the city center or the Bole area: here is a real life, the life style is like in NY, this area lives 24/7, it is quite safe, very busy, lot of small shops, you will find everything you seek for, lots of local restaurants and coffee shops, places where to make a break etc. And do not avoid local places where Ethiopians come - we preferred these kind of places, and we were not wrong: the atmosphere and vibe is so good, you will be surrounded by nice, openhearted and smiley people, and you will for sure like the local coffee.
