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.).

United Arab EmiratesBreakfast and dinner can be better, to have more choice. As it’s next to the fish market, boys playing football, yelling during the night. On the picture it looks like you have a pool view with private beach which is not private people can come and annoy you. Or other people, can take the bed front of your swimming pool. If you are looking for something private, it’s not.
The villa outside and out is cute, staff very friendly. But not worth the price

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! Everything was excellent from start to finish. I booked a package that included breakfast and dinner, and every meal exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to Chef Kilash, who prepared delicious meals with great care and creativity. Also, I truly appreciated the restaurant supervisor, who was very attentive and ensured everything was perfect during my stay. What made the experience even better were the privacy and luxurious amenities — a private pool, a beachfront location, and a spacious, comfortable room. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and elegance. Thanks to the administration.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaPerhaps it would be good if the hotel would build a mini beach bar on its beach, and if the contents of the beach were expanded, it would be a better experience.
We really enjoyed every moment of our stay at Safaya Luxury Villas. I would especially like to highlight the kindness of the staff. The food was excellent as was the cleanliness of our apartment.

Italy- balcony full of insects which makes impossible to enjoy it, - villa number 6 close to the fish area, super bad smell, - there is no beach area at all, what if your villa is not sea view, not worthy!!! - food could be improved a lot, - no beach bar, just boring restorant, - no facilities provided, it was written to us that they provide bicycle, kayak.. when there, they had just one bicycle plus one broken kayak!!! I can’t believe that a luxury place can’t even provide minimum facilities! ETC
Except the staff which was amazing, Safaya is far away the luxury!

United StatesThe bed could have been a tad bit softer but that's just based on my own preference.
I had an incredible stay at Safaya Luxury Villas—hands down one of the best hospitality experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Whether it was checking in with us, accommodating a last-minute room change, or holding our bags on the last day, everything was handled with care and genuine hospitality. The location is absolutely beautiful—right on the beach with stunning views and your own private pool. It’s also conveniently close to many attractions in Nungwi, which makes exploring super easy. The villa offers a range of activities that were perfectly curated, and I highly recommend booking all your excursions through them—it made everything seamless. The food was top tier, full of flavor and beautifully prepared, and anytime we needed transportation, the hotel was quick to arrange a cab for us. I have zero complaints—just pure appreciation. I’ve already recommended Safaya Luxury Villas to friends heading to Zanzibar, and I’ll definitely be back myself. Highly recommend!

South AfricaWe came to Safaya for our honeymoon and weren't disappointed. The staff were welcoming and the food was exceptional. Though they experience power outages, they run the generator to accommodate for this and mosquito spray the rooms. Our private pool was well maintained and looked directly out on the beach, which is on the quieter side of the island. They helped us arrange transport for us and we're available for any questions or suggestions. Would highly recommend for a private getaway or holiday reset.

The chef was kind enough to ask us how every meal was and even added baked beans on the menu for us every morning. The hotel staff did everything and more to make our stay as good as possible.
