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.).

KuwaitWe arrived 3 PM (time of check in) one of our rooms was ready, other not, we wait almost 2 hours, when we get the room, there was no extra bed, no crib, we call reception and wait for more than one hour and half, still not prepared, although we call them from our country to confirm our requirements.
Excellent breakfast, and location, nice view but small windows.

AustraliaThe breakfast was fine, though the breakfast staff didn't seem to understand what a dairy allergy was. Also, a minor complaint, but they were almost too attentive - we just wanted to eat our breakfast in peace, but they kept interrupting us to clear plates, give new utensils, check on the latest thing we put on our plate at the buffet, say hello, explain the food, etc. I appreciate they're trying to get things perfect by being attentive, but man - chill out a bit and let us just eat in peace! Oh, also - seeing a man shit on the beach in front of the hotel from my room. That was a real down point. 🤢🤮
Our room was gorgeous and very comfortable! The view of the ocean was gorgeous, and the room was fantastic. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The location was great - we could walk to most of the Old Town in a few minutes, and while we found review complaining about being woken by the call to prayer in the morning, we never heard it from our room. The bed was super comfortable, and the room could be made quite dark by the curtains. The concierge recommended a really fantastic rooftop dinner that originally I was a bit skeptical of at first, but it ended up being one of the nicest dinners we had on our 3 week holiday. Very very little to actually complain about with our stay - the accommodation and staff were truly wonderful.

Breakfast is good. Although bacon is missing. And next time inform in advance if operational or not. The pool was the reason to select that place and hotel. Disappointed. Offered the pool in SerenA- but doesnt make sense- why do we cross and walk that side and not for our convenience.

SingaporeThe pressure of water in the bathtub was not sufficient enough. So couldn’t enjoy the beautiful bathtub in the room, unfortunately.
The style & the design of the property were intricate, detailed, special. The employees were knowledgeable, helpful, attentive. And the view from the room balcony was spectacular. Jonathan at breakfast was especially attentive and kind, providing best service and making sure you are well cared for and enjoying your time.

New ZealandThe corridor and room carpets are in need of cleaning and worn in places. The shower enclosure definitely needed attention, did not drain, wall shower rose needed replacement. Hotel in need of some maintenance and upgrades in places to truly be called Five Star however the experience itself compensated for any shortcomings.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was first class, always varied. Hot cooked food, pastries & cakes, vegetable and fruit salad options excellent. Likewise dinner very good, and definitely exceeded other restaurant options in the Stone Town. Bedding very clean and comfortable. Location was absolutely perfect.

Park Hyatt - Zanzibar This hotel gets an absolute 5 stars from us. Firstly the staff were so welcoming and kind making sure every detail was in place, going over and beyond. Always smiling and greeting us kindly. Thank you guys. The hotel was stunningly beautiful and so was our room. The room was very clean, overlooking the ocean, and we felt very lucky to get an early check in, which was badly needed after the very long flight from Copenhagen. The amenities in the room were 5 star and very beautifully integrated into the Zanzibar styled rooms. The view from the room was amazing and calm and at the same time lively with different types of boats sailing in and people playing on the beach, doing morning yoga, with little to no noise. The food was excellent and the presentation of it, even more so. Among a lot of other things, they had at breakfast table thirst quenching coconut water and the coconut guy was always all smiles and ready to prepare a coconut for us. The omelette guy also made the very best omelettes ever! The staff was very helpful in arranging tours and transportation with a very capable guide (Seif) and a very safe driver (Abdul), the other drivers we tried on the island drove like hell. On our guided tour of historic Stone Town, it became apparent that the highly humid climate of the area enhances intensive mold growth on the buildings, it’s just a part of the towns charm. I do hope though that the Park Hyatt can and will always protect their beautiful building and especially their high class bathrooms from this mold, as there was a moldy smell from the bathroom. Thank you Park Hyatt for an unforgettable excellent stay at your hotel. I highly recommend the Park Hyatt to anyone traveling to Zanzibar ♥️♥️♥️
