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.).

Verified reviewRoom is clean though it’s old. You can go out to garden directly from all rooms. Location is great. Lots of shops and stores are around there. For example, coffee,grocery,souvenir and ATM. All staffs are kindness. When you go out and come back, they welcome with their smile.
Some outlets don’t work and water pressure of bathroom is poor but it can’t be help. Imagine here is over 2500m altitude.

Verified reviewLalibela Hotel and Mr Getatchew are very welcoming. The place is well situated, 10mn walking from Saint-Georges church and Timkat procession is passing front of the hotel. This is a place for people looking to be with local Ethiopian people and who love to siscover their real way of life

Mosquitoes and night in the room. They drive you crazy and don't let you sleep. WiFi available but complicated to connect. Staff doesn't show enough efforts to help clients with that problem

Verified reviewCharming budget hotel, easily reached from Lalibela airport by bus for 200BIRR. I was met and accompanied by a guide, Ababa, from the hotel. Rooms are large and quiet, and they catch the sun in the morning whilst having breakfast, with a gorgeous view of the mountains. The wifi was reliable for me too! The hotel is in a warm and friendly part of town with locals wanting to engage - and it has multiple ATMs nearby. Everything is within walking distance although tuktuks into the main areas are cheap. The owner and staff are genuine, helpful and honest and the food on request is delicious. The guide is also onsite should you want accompanied trips or hikes and as a solo traveller, I took advantage of this and was never worried or anxious about moving about the town or hiking. The rooms are a little tired, but for the price, excellent VFM. I highly recommend!

Verified reviewFirstly, Birjan, the receptionist arranged my transport pick up & return to the airport, facilitated for my tour guide & checked for any help I needed. During my 4 days stay, it was straight forward check in & out in a spacious bedroom & bathroom with bathtub. The bed is comfortable with clean beddings. I was amazed a bird knocked every morning to wake me up & hear more chirping of various birds. I felt the sights & sounds of nature so relaxing, heartwarming & closer to the Creator. Baladto was happy to serve the breakfast to start my day. Sitting by the terrace, I could see the greenery & the surrounding mountains. Also, the canopy of the churches & the Saturday market are visible which be reached by tuktuk in 10 minutes. Spoken with the Manager Getacho who offered me a free dinner. All these experience is good value for money. Need I say more?
