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.).

KenyaFood and the lady managers arrogance.
I forgot the name of the guy manager- i think its Francis. He(very polite and concerned) and the cleanliness in the rooms and the swimming pool can make someone overlook all the rest. The kikuyu lady manager was a big turnoff. Upto when i got to Malindi after talking to her on my way there i wasn't sure i wanted to check in there but i decided to take chances. It says on booking no prepayment required but she called me to tell me i needed to prebook for 1 night for her to reserve a room for me. Alot of arrogance in her speech. I never cared to see or know who she was during my stay but she sounded a little in her 50's and clueless. Ordering lunch in their restaurant was a bad idea. I waited over 2 hours only to be served a few pieces of black burnt pieces and cold ugali...i told the waiter to sit down and eat it herself then bring me my order. They said i couldn't get choma prepared since i had waited too long already so they offered a beef stew that gave me a stomach upset. For the rest of the days i was keen and only took the breakfast from there. The room were clean, only the last day i had changed rooms to the across the road where the main reception sits and that last one wasn't the cleanest. Sugar ants invaded the washroom.

DenmarkWhat I didn't like was the breakfast offering. The variety was quite limited, and the food quality wasn’t up to par. The items seemed either underwhelming or not fresh, and there wasn’t much to choose from. It felt like a missed opportunity to enhance the guest experience, especially since breakfast is such an important part of a hotel stay.
My stay at [Hotel Name] was just moderate. While the hotel itself was decent, I was disappointed by the breakfast, which did not meet expectations. The selection was quite limited, and the quality could definitely be improved. If the hotel can enhance this aspect, it would make a big difference in the overall experience. Apart from that, everything else was acceptable, but I was hoping for a bit more.

KenyaWell i had made a request for an early check in since i was to arrive in malindi very early in the morning. A request that was approved in writing only to be kept waiting while being taken round in circles for 4 hours. Apparently the approval was just a facade no communication was made to the staff! Quite inconveniencing.
Very close to town.

KenyaThe biggest problem for us was how noisy it is. Whether day or night time, there's music playing, which you easily hear from the rooms. So it feels more like a bar then a hotel where people can get rest and some sleep. Aside from that, we were happy with everything else.
The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. My wife also had a meal here and she liked the food.

IrelandI recently concluded my stay at a hotel with subpar customer service. Despite having requested a late check-out, which was confirmed during the booking process, I was unexpectedly asked to vacate the premises. The breakfast experience was disappointing, featuring stale food and impolite waitstaff lacking basic courtesy. Furthermore, the hotel claimed to provide in-room WIFI, but unfortunately, this service was nonexistent. Overall, my experience was marred by the hotel's poor customer service and unmet expectations in various aspects.
