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.).

CanadaI called twice to confirm airport pickup. They called back (thankfully I had a local number) saying that the shuttle will be delayed 15 minutes and it would be better I take a taxi. I said no problem, I'll wait 15 extra minutes. When I landed, I called and suddenly the driver was "1.5h away" and I need to take a taxi. Cost me 10USD for the short ride. They should be capable to coordinate with the dozens of other hotels with shuttles nearby. Without a local phone # would have been left stranded.
Immaculate place.

NetherlandsI returned after 23:00 one evening and wanted to order some late night dinner, but the restaurant was already closed and there was no room service available.
The hotel accommodations are quite modern and the suites have everything that you would need for a longer stay. There is also a steam room and sauna on the top floor along with a nice outdoor terrace. Sadly, there is no bar upstairs otherwise it would have been a perfect place to finish a day.

Dinner and breakfast services provided a good range of local and western food. Location is very close to the airport but will require travel by vehicle to common tourist spots

United StatesAll the staff, from maids, chefs, servers, and receptionists, were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating for all our needs. Manager went out of her way to help on some extreme issues during our 2 week stay. I can not say enough about this hotel and their staff. Phenomenal cleanliness and service. Wouldn't stay anywhere else upon our return to Addis.

United StatesJust my two cents— it felt like it could’ve been anywhere in the world (which for some might be a good thing). I would’ve like some more local touches in the decor. Also- that roof patio is underutilized! It’s the perfect place for a bar!
Amazing rooms, views, gym, location. Very comfortable and friendly. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Shuttle available, extremely close to the airport. One of the best Addis hotels I’ve stayed in.

United StatesEven though I liked the neighborhood in which the hotel is situated and its proximity to good dining areas and shops, it requires a taxi ride to step out of the vicinity. However, this is an ideal location for couples and groups looking for a quiet location.
The proximity to the airport, shuttle services to/fro the airport, neighborhood, and staff friendliness made the Loft Apartments an excellent choice. The food was wonderful, and I would have gone for a second if not for the price. My apartment provided an excellent view of the city, and the rooms were really comfortable.

United StatesBreakfast was ok.
Less than a 10 minute drive from the airport and you're at this great apart hotel, in the middle of Bole surrounded by many embassies. Felt very safe and secure. Room spacious and comfortable. Very kind staff. Complimentary airport shuttle. Wifi worked well in the room at 40 mbps. Beautiful rooftop space with a spa and small gym. We had to leave early due to a family emergency but the manager was kind enough to provide a voucher for a future visit. We would return.
