How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

They gave me a different price on arrival different from what was advertised on booking.com. The receptionist was very rude, and the facility didn't have electricity. Plus, the room was very dusty, and the towels were dirty. The shower is not working. I was very frustrated 😠.

Verified reviewManager and staff were very friendly and helpful. Very secure facilities. Hot shower was awesome. Very quiet, and good for sleeping
Washroom and toilet was setup as shared. Since there were few other guests this was not a problem, and no one else was using the washroom when we were using it.

Verified reviewThe staff very friendly and even fixed my puncture.
Things missing or didn’t work. Mosquito net, tv, Wi-Fi, light in stair well, chef. Welcome card read like the riot act. Must have a problem with prostitution. Dry toast for breakfast and to top it off receptionist didn’t give me my balance.
Thanks Alan for your kind review of us. We apologize for your unpleasant service. We have taken steps to fix the missing amenities and counsel our staff. Please let us know whenever you plan to stop by again. A special offer awaits

Verified reviewQuietness and the lady at the reception, she was too supportive and kind to us.
Delayed breakfast even when you make a special order and location abit away from the capital city, although this gives it an advantage of the being calm and quiet from the city noises.
Awesome review! Thank you

Verified reviewThe break first and food generally, should not be the same every day.
Room service is poor .especially changing of bedsheets and towels. Because the place is a bit far from the city centre, a minbus is required However walldrop and hangers

Verified reviewThe rooms are very nicely decorated and the accommodation is clean and maintained to a high standard. The compound and dining area are well presented and the food is also great:)
Possibly the distance from downtown. However, for me it was fine. There is shuttle service from the airport; and its a good way to get a snap shot of Kampala
hi thank you for the review. we hope to see you again

Verified reviewI loved the breakfast, the hospitality of the staff. The hotel was clean. Though out of town, the navigation to the place was okay. The staff were respectful and supportive.
Unfortunately the WIFI did not work for me, this could be an isolated case that the hotel might need to work on.
thank you for the review. we shall find out about mifi

Verified reviewI liked that it was clean and neat. And parking was available plus the WiFi was good though we had to ask for it several times before we were connected.
I didn't like that the only payment method was cash in this cashless society the world is moving to. Not many people carry cash anymore. A card machine would be helpful especially if your not from USD currency countries. The chef needs to improve the menu and orders. Sausage were served to our muslim driver who was very upset thinking it was pork. All our orders for breakfast were wrong both days. WiFi was not available on arrival we had to ask several times to get connected. We were given rooms on the third floor with no lift. This is difficult for elderly guests climbing stairs.
thanks for the review. we shall improve accordingly

Verified reviewReally kind & welcoming staff, their breakfast is made to order and I totally found the place to offer incredible value, so you definitely get a lot of bang for your buck staying at Red Sox Hotel, highly recommend it!
Their location could be a bit closer but it's not to bad once you learn your way around town.

Verified reviewI liked the environment and cleanliness in and outside the hotel.
Most of the facilities you talk about are malfunctional. E.g TV doesn't work, no Internet . The other thing is there are many mosquitoes and the nets have holes I never liked bargaining for the room prices afresh yet I had already booked a room with a price. So coming to check in and then the receptionist tells me different and higher prices was really a big disappointment. Let the prices online be the same with those on the reception
