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 reviewThe breakfast was amazing, also the staff made us feel super welcome and the place overall had a very good ambiance, music and nature
The only thing I can say is the pillows that where super hard and uncomfortable to sleep and the streets.

Verified reviewThe hostel is beautiful. The pool is very nice and we really loved the shared area. I can imagine that it’s great for meeting other travelers! The hosts were very responsive and helped us getting to the hostel and any questions we had were answered really fast. The breakfast is great: every day they serve you something different and all the people working here are very kind!
The location is a bit far away from the main road, about 10 - 15 minute walk and when it’s dark it’s not safe to walk by yourself so you have to take a tuktuk or uber. Diani Beach is very big so you’ll have to take a tuktuk or uber many times to go to one place or another, so that doesn’t mind. We rented a motorbike for 4 days and that was great! We can definitely recommend doing that.

Verified reviewThis place has a magical and homey vibe to it. It's truly special! Everything was very clean and full of extremely caring small details that really made the whole experience super pleasant. From the Fairylights and music in the common veranda, to the pool, the lush garden, to the incense in the room, you can tell how everything has been accurately prepared with care and love. The owners are very friendly and always available, as well as every person working there. There is drinking water, coffee and tea always available, and a full kitchen at disposal. Also, breakfast is incuded and it is huge and delicious! I booked a room with shared bathroom, but I was only sharing with one other person and we barely bumped into each other. Very private. Location is perfect, close enough to the main road to be easily connected to everywhere in Diani, but also secluded enough to make it a beautiful oasis of peace. Honestly, the place is so beautiful and comfy that sometimes I had force myself to get out. With no doubt my best booking experience in terms of quality for price. I will absolutely be back if I am in Diani again. Thank you♥️
Honestly everything is really great. The only suggestion: the bed could do with some poles to support the mosquito net.

Verified reviewI wish I could have stayed longer at Hera Hostel! The place is so chill and relaxing. The breakfast was delicious, and the rooms were super clean. The shared bathroom was very convenient, and I rarely bumped into other guests. The pets are so funny and cute—they definitely added to the charm! The location is less than a 10-minute walk from the beach, and the staff is amazing. They gave me all the tips to get around, plus contacts for motorbikes, tuktuks, and taxis. I really hope I’ll be back soon!
Nothing really, wish the room had AC but still with the fan it was good, especially considering the time I was there (November) is pretty hot!
Hello! Thanks so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure having you at our place and we hope we'll see you again in the future!
