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.).

SwitzerlandThe staff was great! Muhammad and the rest of the staff were very very welcoming (they gave us small pole pole wrist bands that give you discount for a lebanese restaurant near the beach) and friendly, always ready to help us and flexible for personal requests (Muhammad negotiated the price for our taxi and gave us free bottled water once the stores closed) ! The breakfast changed every morning so it was nice to have variety (different types of eggs, bread, sausages, salad, fruits, tea) . There was a power shortcut but it's not the hotel's fault. The power shortcut was on the whole island, so there was no light for 1-2 hours. The staff gave us lamps for our rooms while we were wating for the light to come back.

SlovakiaThe bathroom could have one or two shelves by the sink and there could be a smaller table in the room.
Excelent staff. The room was simple but clean (cleaned every day) and cozy, equipped with a large fridge/freezer and AC. Breakfast was tasty and sufficient. We had two issues during our stay, one with the shower and one with the air conditioning, both were fixed immediately. We didn't notice any noise from the street when we wanted to go to sleep. Also there is a possibility to park the car next to the house, but the road to it is bumpy. Considering the price, the value for what we got is excellent.

BulgariaI think the location is the best. It's near the beach Nungwui, near restaurants, rock bar and other beach restaurants, and the three main streets (the most main connecting villages with Daladala, the tourist shopping street and the main local shopping street with fruits and vegetables). The staff is really welcome, kind, smiley and always ready to help you or answer your questions. The price is excellent. The breakfast is a buffet with coffee, juice, jam and others. The room was cleaned every day. Our room was above the street and it wasn't noisy at all. There is really nice to backyards with places to sit, cradle and hammock.

UkraineOne point which could be improved is the WiFi, it’s slow, usually we were going to the restaurant to make a video call or book the tours etc using their WiFi.
The breakfast is basic, but for the price you pay it’s reasonable. The staff is extremely helpful and cheerful, always ready to help. The house is located 10 min walking to the beach. Cleaning was done every day)

South AfricaThe wifi was not available in the room due to poor strength. This was an inconvience as we needed to get out in the hot weather to comminicate. Breakfast was very basic and could be improved with different things per day. Though the fruit was great. The water pressure was not good for a shower as it trickled but the bathroom was beautiful.
The cleanliness. The airconditioner. Mohamed was very helpful and friendly.

NigeriaOn two occasions i had plumbing issues in the bathroom, however the maintenance guy was readily available to get it fixed. The water pressure in the shower was also very low throughout my stay.
The hotel did surpass my expectations. The location is great and quite close to nungwi beach. The staffs where especially kind and willing to offer assistance at all times. The breakfast was also tasty and filling, however i would recommend a variety of dishes be included. Electric kettles could also be made available in the rooms as this would allow guests to enjoy a hot beverage at any time without waiting till breakfast.

United StatesJust kind of weird vibes….seems like it’s under renovation or change of ownership perhaps. Some random weird things like stains on bedsheets and found a piece of apple skin stuck to the bathroom counter. Rooms distributed in weird locations. Breakfast was unfortunately pretty bad. A big issue was also that they didn’t even have drinks available to buy (like not even water). However, based on the price I paid for a spacious private room within walking distance to the beach, I think it’s somewhat fair that I got what I paid for.
It was very affordable, and the main front desk person was very kind and helpful. The hibiscus tea upon arrival was a nice welcoming touch.

United KingdomOur room smelled quite damp. They didn't have enough towels for us to have a towel each and the ones we did get were all quite old.
The owner was very responsive and answered our questions and helped us to book a taxi and boat trip before we arrived. It was really well priced for the area, the room had air con and there was a decent breakfast included.

RomaniaBeing located near the beach and some clubs, sometimes it can be a bit noisy at night, but this can be fixed with earplugs. Also, the first night I arrived at 5 AM and I found the bedsheet was torn and stained, making a bad first impression. They did change it the next day, when cleaning the room.
The hotel is situated at 10 minutes walk from the beach and in the night they have a security guard so it feels very safe. The breakfast is good, bufet style, with eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables etc. The staff is very friendly. Also, the room was clean and they cleaned it every day.
