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.).

Saudi ArabiaThey do not have a street number for the taxi. No bottle of water & no shampoo just a small bar of soap (they can add extra money to room rate for that). It took them more than 2 hours to prepare fish fillet & vegetable because they buy the ingredients from supermarket & guy was late. However, the manager apologized for the delay.
The garden & volcano mountain view. Jackline and other staff were friendly and helpful.

We loved everything starting from our arrival. The price was very affordable for the service provided to us. The host was always there and smiling. The apartment and the area was spotlessly clean. The finishing of the home is top-notch. The breakfast was very satisfying and adequate. We could also use the washing machine, and there was always staff to help us. The terrace has a beautiful view. A special mention to the details in furnishing the home, it's really spotless.

SwitzerlandIn our room there was a beeping noise coming from a neighbour’s electrical installation. Not really the hotel’s fault but it could be heard all night long.
Nice room in the center of town in a street with street food options. Still quite calm. Very nice staff.

United KingdomI know Muzanse is cold for Rwandans, but I would have liked a fan in my room 😀
Exceptional kindness from Jackline and Lilian. They were very kind. My apartment was spotless. As others have said, the location is slightly (less than 10 minute walk) out of the main town, but for me this was one of the best parts. I loved the location and I never got bored of the incredible views from the terrace area. Amazing value for money, fantastic views, a clean property and excellent warm staff.

DenmarkThere were many ants and other insects inside the house. It does not feel very safe to walk around the neighborhood. It can get quite noisy as there is not really sound isolation.
Confortable bed and pillows. Nice terrace with a view. It is possible to wash the clothes. Good value for the money.

BelgiumThese are some minor things. Despite hot water being available there are times where it just doesnt work anymore after using it for a time. Although this issue is present in the whole district. The mattresses are too hard to my likings and the toilet paper is uncomfortably placed making it hard to reach when sitting on the toilet
More modern and spacious than most hotels in the area for a significant cheaper price. Most hotels in Musanze are outdated and feel dead. Breakfast here was also perfect with friendly staff and even a laundry service. Residences and lodges like these are to go if you plan to come

AustraliaNo sign at the front (yet) so just be sure to look at the photo of the outside so you know when you get there.
Our two bedroom apartment was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Good wifi. Great to have the option to eat meals cooked for you onsite (served either on the deck which has a lovely view or in your apartment, food allergies also catered for), cook for yourself in the apartment or eat at a restaurant in Musanze. Located in a local neighborhood it’s a flat 20 minute walk from the town centre and bus station (or you can take a motorbike/taxi). We felt very safe at all times. The staff were lovely and Jacki was so kind and helpful, she arranged a taxi for us to Volcanoes National Park, a boat trip at the Twin Lakes and tickets for a soccer match, including walking with us to the stadium to make sure we got in ok, all brilliant experiences. We would definitely stay here again.

ItalyHot water in the shower does not last very long, which is common in Rwanda
We loved the flat. It was clean and comfortable. Bed was perfect and curtains were blocking the light. The flat has a little kitchen but well equipped. One of best showers we had in Rwanda. Laundry is included which is great considering the gorilla trekking is very muddy. You can order food as well for lunch and dinner. The staff is always nice and helpful. Internet was ok and we were able to work as well. Great location in town. Would definitely come back.

GermanyBasic necessities were lacking a bit, esp. in the kitchen area. It was fine for us for a night, just to keep in mind when you want to stay longer.
We stayed for one night and the two bedroom apartment is very spacious and feels very cozy. Jaqueline has been very responsive and helpful! She shared a menu beforehand and we ordered our dinner with her which was really delicious! She was also very flexible when we asked breakfast to be packed for us as we had to leave early in the morning. We can definitely recommend staying here!

GermanyThe water heater took ages to produce hot water, though in the end it worked very well. Whenever we left the compound and didn't tell the staff that we were leaving, the main gate was closed upon our return which is a little bit inconvenient because there is no bell to ring and there is not always someone around to call for.
We liked the friendly staff very much, they even did our laundry and cleaned our shoes after the gorilla trek, everything for free. Our studio apartment was equipped with a kitchen including gas stove and microwave, a small kitchen table, a queen-size bed and hot water shower. WiFi signal was okay in the apartment. On our departure day we booked an evening bus for onward travel and they even let us stay in another room (because ours was already booked on that day) until we had to leave for the bus station. Breakfast was really good, though you should be prepared to get a huge pot of coffee or tea. They also offered dinner, which was prepared by the host herself. Despite it taking very long (Rwandan style), it was delicious!
