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.).

IrelandWe had a lovely stay at African Bungalows in Nungwi! The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and it was great to see the owner around, always making sure everything was just right. The breakfast was excellent—fresh, delicious, and with something new to enjoy every day. The serene atmosphere made it feel like an oasis in the middle of Nungwi, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. We absolutely loved our time here and would happily come back for another stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tranquil and memorable Nungwi getaway!

It was spotlessly clean and quiet, and the owner was a great guy — very hospitable, with all the staff being friendly as well. I truly felt at home. The location is perfect — close to the beach, various restaurants, and shops, yet without any noise disturbance. In the evening, after spending the whole day out, it’s wonderful to relax by the pool in the complex and enjoy the peace and comfort the bungalow offers. If I ever return to Zanzibar in the future, I will definitely come back. Thank you for your hospitality.

This place is amazing! This is an oasis in the green, with a fantastic pool. Staff is amazing, especially Angelina, they can arrange everything for you! Food is amazing, fish is top quality. The food is not as spicy as you can think, perfect for international meals. Everything is super clean and fresh, and you don’t have to worry about water, ice or fruit because everything is perfectly safe for consumption. Their fruit salad is the best! We had 2 excursions with them, they were definitely a 10/10, price very competitive, strongly recommended I will definitely recommend this hotel for couples and families.

FranceOur stay at this resort in Zanzibar was nothing short of perfect. Nestled in the lively energy of Nungwi, the resort felt like a serene haven — calm, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely at home. Their attention to detail was exceptional, always going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The service was flawless — warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. As a vegan, I was especially impressed by how attentive the kitchen staff were to my dietary needs. Every day, they surprised me with creative, delicious, and beautifully presented plant-based dishes, each one different from the last. It was clear they took great care and pride in offering something special. This place is truly a gem, and I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you for an unforgettable experience — we can’t wait to come back!

KenyaThat I didn't stay longer :)
Everything was wonderful, honestly. I spent three nights there as a solo trip for myself and couldn't have imagined a better place to stay. The environment is beautiful and serene, with a nice pool and lovely spacious rooms, but the most amazing aspect of African Bungalows was the staff. Ahmet, the owner, was invaluable whenever I needed anything and even arranged for me to have a birthday party close by, with cake and a lovely BBQ dinner. Eva was really helpful as well, going out of her way to ensure that I was comfortable, that the facilities were clean and that the food was great each day. She has such a warm and welcoming personality. The Bartender, as well was great, ensuring that the drinks kept flowing.

GermanyJust be aware that there are tons of mosquitos. But especially in the evening this is for whole Nungwi (probably even whole Zanzibar) the case. Even at the beach.
The Hotel is a very beautiful location with lots of details. The rooms have AC, are comfortable and big. We were even allowed to use beach umberellas and chairs/sunbeds at Dhow Beach Hotel which is just a short walk away. The Hotels have the same owner. But the best is the service! Especially Angelina the manager is just amazing. She looks after everyone and you can go to her with anything at anytime. She organized tours, she bought some medicine for my friend when he was sick and made soecial cooking requests happen. I can recommend this Hotel 100%!

United Arab EmiratesEverything I dreamed of in Zanzibar! Beautiful decor, great location and most importantly the staff were so kind - Evangelina and Jafari especially, who went out of their way to look after me. The food was exceptional and I ate every meal at the resort (make sure you have the chef’s special curry!) An unexpected but wonderful addition to my time here was the ability to go to the other boutique hotel managed by the same owners for beachside sunbathing. Thank you for making it such a special birthday for me! The cake, decorations and mostly the smiles. I truly didn’t want to leave.
