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.).

KenyaA Magical Escape at LalaGalu – Beachfront EcoCabins If you’re looking for a soulful, serene escape by the ocean, LalaGalu – Beachfront EcoCabins is a dream come true. Nestled right on the beach, this place feels like a secret whispered by the sea; peaceful, grounding, and deeply rejuvenating. The cabins themselves are beautifully designed, balancing rustic charm with modern comfort. Everything felt intentional, from the eco-conscious design to the calming color palette and thoughtful amenities. But what truly made my stay unforgettable was the warmth of ALL the staff I interacted with. And one name I will never forget is Bilali. From the moment I arrived, Bilali made me feel seen and cared for. Whether it was a kind check-in after a long journey, sharing a quiet smile in the morning, or helping me navigate little things with such grace and sweetness. He was a constant presence of warmth. It’s rare to meet someone who brings that much heart into their work. There was something deeply healing about being at LalaGalu. I slowed down. I breathed deeper. I reconnected with nature and myself. And that’s something no five-star luxury hotel can replicate, because it comes from intention, soul, and people like Bilali. If you’re craving peace, beauty, and a stay that feeds your spirit, LalaGalu is it. I left with a full heart, salty hair, and the softest smile. I’ll be back. 🌿🌊

United KingdomCould be more eco friendly with the use of towels and house keeping strategies. We felt that the fee for washing clothes was quite high and felt it unreasonable to be charged for the use of an iron. Regarding laundry charges, a fee per kilo would be more beneficial and reasonable for guests
Great location near a stunning beach front. Great aesthetic in the rooms. Staff were very friendly and always helpful. The pool area was well looked after and a great place to relax. The food was great and it was nice to have a small gym space to use during our stay

South AfricaI booked a massage on Saturday and while there, the DJ started playing music. This disturbed the massage. The spa should be on the other side and away from the DJ, or should not operate while the DJ is playing music

United KingdomThere was no drinking water easily accessible beyond the relatively small water bottle in the room which only gets refilled once. Apparently a temporary issue but still - it was not easy to get water.
It's a nice, new, modern property right by the beach. I really enjoyed the cabin which is perfectly sized with a modern bathroom. The restaurant is also really nice, breakfast is tasty and very generous, and staff are very kind and friendly.
