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 garden & volcano mountain view. Jackline and other staff were friendly and helpful.
They 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.

Verified reviewWe 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.
Nothing could be better

Verified reviewNice room in the center of town in a street with street food options. Still quite calm. Very nice staff.
In 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.

Verified reviewExceptional 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.
I know Muzanse is cold for Rwandans, but I would have liked a fan in my room 😀

Verified reviewConfortable bed and pillows. Nice terrace with a view. It is possible to wash the clothes. Good value for the money.
There 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.

Verified reviewMore 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
These 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

Verified reviewOur 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.
No sign at the front (yet) so just be sure to look at the photo of the outside so you know when you get there.
