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.).

Our stay at the Pink Flamingo pre- and post-Kili climb totally surpassed expectations. I have stayed in many international 5* hotels and genuinely preferred this to most of them. The ambience, food (amazing Italian food) and service (special shout out to Frederik). It is all perfect and I cannot recommend it enough.

AustraliaWe absolutely loved our stay — the hotel is a beautifully appointed boutique space that truly exudes luxury. The only small downside (and one that’s understandably outside the hotelier’s direct control) was the behaviour of a fellow guest. The atmosphere did shift a little with children running around the pool area, which took away from the otherwise peaceful, refined vibe. Perhaps a gentle policy or signage could help preserve the tranquil setting the hotel does so well to create.
This was the perfect place to stay both before and after our Mt Kili hike. The hotel is a beautifully appointed boutique space that exudes understated luxury — peaceful, intimate, and thoughtfully designed. The pool was a welcome treat, and the food was delicious and of excellent value (which is noteworthy as if you don't have a car, there aren't any other food choices close by). The staff were very friendly and happily stored our luggage that we didn't require for the hike.

CanadaIf you’re heading to Moshi and looking for a place that feels like a home away from home, the Pink Flamingo is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a warm and welcoming team who truly go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. The staff here are nothing short of amazing—attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile or helpful suggestion. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in creating a relaxing and memorable experience. Waking up to the sight of Mount Kilimanjaro towering in the distance is nothing short of magical. Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or soaking in the tranquil evening atmosphere, the stunning scenery is a constant reminder of Moshi’s natural beauty. Every meal is a culinary delight, crafted with fresh, local ingredients and served with care. From hearty breakfasts to dinners under the stars, dining at the Pink Flamingo is an experience all on its own. The owners have truly created something special here. Their passion for hospitality shines through in every detail, from the thoughtfully designed spaces to the personal touches that make you feel right at home. The photograph throughout the rooms and common space is incredible. If you’re looking for a magical escape with unparalleled views of Mount Kilimanjaro, incredible food, and a team that makes you feel like family, the Pink Flamingo is the place to be. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning your next visit.

AustriaI would have to make up a lie to find something negative about this place :)
What a gem! We travel a lot, but I think this place is definitely in our top three of unique destinations we've visited. The little boutique hotel is owned and managed by a charming and lovely Italian lady with a great eye for detail. Everything about it is of high standards - service, furnishings, garden, and decoration. The room was stunning - it was so spacious, with even fresh flowers. The coffee was the best (there were even different coffee machines!), and the pasta tasted like it was made in heaven. It was such a great and welcome change from the African cuisine (which we also love). We almost had the entire place to ourselves, so we truly felt like royalty. And we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Kilimanjaro - what an unforgettable experience! Absolut great value for money. We wished we would have stayed more nights there - for us it was 10 times more relaxing than in our Zanzibar stay (and also, in our humble opinion, with an even better view).

United StatesThe recommended driver, Paschal. He was not friendly, did not speak on arrival and barely wanted to help with luggage. Pink Flamingo quoted $35USD for transport to JRO. He quoted $70 but agreed on $40. Bed was quite firm (subjective).
Beautiful hotel! The ambiance is top notch! The owner greeted us on arrival. Warm welcoming owner and staff! We truly felt at home at Pink Flamingo. Enjoyed the laid back environment, free flowing fruits and delicious coffee cake each day. The staff was very professional especially Prosper! He was so kind throughout our stay. Management was great with facilitating transportation to our next location.
