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.).

CanadaNothing, everything was great!
We absolutely loved our stay at Buutu Nest! This is a beautiful small 5 room inn with an outstanding breakfast. Best of all are the staff here, everyone here was amazingly helpful and kind during our stay! We really appreciated all of the valuable help planing the rest of our time in Eastern Africa! We loved it so much we extended our stay!

United KingdomThe walls are quite thin, so sound travels easily, making conversations less private than we would have liked. And you can get woken up in the mornings with neighbours and roosters.
Buutu Nest is a comfortable and clean place to stay, with a cozy common area perfect for relaxing. The warm showers and reliable WiFi made our stay even better. The friendly staff were always welcoming, and we appreciated the availability of drinking water. Its location is excellent—within walking distance to the city center, the Source of the Nile viewpoint, and the Gandhi Memorial. Additionally, the activities offered here are well-organized and fairly priced. Overall, an amazing place to stay.

RomaniaThe bathroom. Had the shower on top of the toilet, and the whole bathroom gets wet when showering. Doesn't have small square tables in the dining area for 2 or 4 people. Has only big long tables, and if there are many quests, they would all sit at the same long table without having privacy.
It was clean and the breakfast was good.

GermanyAll the staff in Buutu Nest is extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. No matter if you need some recommandation for eating, sightseeing or activities, they will always have some inspiring ideas for you. Alan and Robert were very helpful with organising tubing on the Nile, a rainforest walk and a budget safari in murchison falls nationalparc for us. (I need to emphasise, that they don't try to sell their own packages, even though they're operating rafting and safari tours themselves, but really take into account your personal needs and wishes!) Big bonus is the great breakfast, that is freshly prepared by Rosette and Judith every morning. The two of them are two happy faces, always giving you the feeling to be very welcome at that place. They also took good care of our laundry, that was washed (by hand!), dried, ironed and delivered in one day. Thank you very much for making Buutu Nest a home for us.

I loved everything. My namesake Rosette was generous, polite, patient, and pleasant. If there was a bedside lamp so I didn't leave my bed to turnoff lights, toiletries or a warning telling me to bring my own, you would have scored exceptional. I will definitely return!
