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 reviewGreat location, close to Nungwi beach and the town center, with excellent restaurants nearby and small markets for souvenirs. They have a private pool but at another hotel; breakfast is served at that same hotel (just a 3-minute walk away), it was good. They offer a free shuttle to the hotel’s “private” beach (a 5-minute drive). The meals and drinks are very good, though the staff here are not as friendly as at other places where we ate. Still, it’s a great place to relax. The room was very nice.
Before we arrived, we sent a message explaining we would arrive before the check-in time, and the hotel confirmed it was okay — so we expected the room to be ready. However, when we arrived, they asked us to wait until check-in time because the room wasn’t ready yet, which was understandable. The problem came at check-in time when they asked us to wait another 5 minutes because they were finishing up... but after waiting 45 minutes at reception, they finally informed us the room was ready. We didn’t like the way we were treated — it wasn’t the wait itself that was the problem, even though it was 45 minutes past check-in, the bigger issue was the lack of honesty about the waiting time. This had never happened to us before, and we didn’t appreciate it. I don’t know if this is hotel policy or not, but our room was not cleaned — something that had never happened during our stays in Tanzania before.

Verified reviewAtii Gardens is a lovely haven in Nungwi set back from the beach in the village area. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we especially loved the breakfast. We also had use of a sister hotel’s pool and beach club which was an unexpected bonus. We could also fill up our water bottles from the hotel water cooler.
A little dusty, but the rooms are cleaned every day. We had a room with an outside bathroom, it rained during the night and dirty water ran off over our toiletries, so put them under the overhead cover, we did love showering outside though and would choose this room again.

Verified reviewGood choice and quality for breakfast, not beach front but really close, large room and bathroom with nice terrace, good value for money considering the location and peak season
The free beach in the description is actually not nearby (only 15min walking anyhow), communication/ understanding with the staff is sometimes not smooth (yet they are super polite). A bit noisy sometimes

Verified reviewGreat location, helpful staff, amazing breakfast
Just had a small incident at the start of our stay where a member of staff failed to tell us that breakfast wasn't included on the first day of our stay despite us talking about it loudly and openly in front of her. We were then charged $65 after we had been eaten and in all honestly it felt quite sneaky on her part. We had a great stay but it did leave a bad taste in our mouth

Verified reviewThis place was like a secret garden for us. We felt so at home here. Gil, the owner, is super kind, gave us many valuable tips, and even showed us his permaculture farm. The bungalow was beautifully decorated and spacious, and we loved the outside shower. The staff was particularly attentive to our needs and remembered our preferences for each meal and aspect in the bungalow. This made it extra special. Thanks again to Gil and his team for this wonderful stay.

Verified reviewAtti's isn't just another hotel; it's a peaceful green island in the middle of the village. The place is full of small details that make you feel like somebody thought of you. The room is big and quiet, with hard, comfortable beds and soft pillows. Every day, they supply you with fresh water and keep the room super clean. The staff is friendly and professional. The hotel is located a few minutes from the beach and has a great breakfast.
