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 reviewPucci House is situated right in the centre of Watamu village. It's a super peaceful and tranquil place to stay, with a lovely garden, pool area and roof terrace. The room was big, with a lovely bathroom and comfortable bed, the decor was also very nice. The breakfast was served in the outdoor seating area and was excellent; fruit platter, granola, toast, juice, eggs and bacon. Alex and Pola are very helpful, offering advice on where to eat and what to do. There's also an excellent beauty salon in the grounds which do a great massage and other treatments.
The immediate area around the house takes some acclimatising! Watamu is quite intense when it comes to the touts and people generally following you asking you the classic 'where you from' and not leaving you alone. I had to go to the ATM a couple of times, and we also walked around for lunch and dinner, and we were always hassled. With that said, the boda boda (moto taxis) were very friendly and we got a couple of numbers and used them to go to dinner at the resorts further down the beach.
Very nice and polite people, always smiling and a very positive vibe! The perfect guests! Hope to see them soon again

Verified reviewPucci House is a cozy beautiful gem perfectly located close to the town. The place is beautiful and impeccable in every detail with a good energy. Alex and Pola are extremely kind and welcoming and they were so helpful regarding everything (from accommodating a food intolerance for breakfast to tips on things to do, places to eat etc.). Breakfast is amazing, the lush garden is pure bliss and the terrace is perfect for morning meditation or enjoying the full moon at night. I also had a truly relaxing deep tissue massage at the spa which I highly recommend.
Thank you Federica for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure meeting you, friendly, polite and clean: they are the guests that everyone would like to have! We hope to see you again soon! Have a good time! Alex&Pola
