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.).

Verified reviewGood value. Very responsive to customer needs and requests.
Location was a little off the beaten path. Our driver had difficulty finding it. Lunch at the Guest House was not very good.

Verified reviewWe have been staying here when we arrive at the airport for years. They hired managers for awhile that didn’t do a good job so they have taken it back over and it’s wonderful. I love the location since it’s set in a quiet village near Lake Victoria. Staff has always been wonderful and food always good.
Only thing missing is a pool. That would be the best. But it’s a great place.

Verified reviewThe owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. They arranged taxis for us and gave us tips and suggestions about the area. The rooms were simple and clean. The rooftop deck was lovely and the food was well prepared and tasty.
The location was great because it was surrounded by a local neighbourhood but unfortunately that also made it a bit noisy. Nothing that some ear plugs couldn't fix though!

Verified reviewWe reserved a room for our last night in Entebbe after travelling through Uganda. We had a very early morning flight and they arranged for a car to take us to the airport in the middle of the night. They also made us a delightful dinner that evening. It was a short stay but perfect for what we needed!

Verified reviewIt was pretty nice, we were only there for one night so it was a shower in a bed and a breakfast. I wouldn't stay there as a long-term or even a week long.
It is hard to find, out-of-the-way, and I heard dogs barking most of the night off and on

Verified reviewThis is a perfect place to sleep when you have come into Entebbe on a late night plane. The hotel organises a shuttle for a very reasonable price. The rooms are clean and spacious and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast is reasonable.

Verified reviewAngella was brilliant with all the communication before arrival and cooking, and Simon was brilliant with extensive knowledge humbly offered when there. They could not have been more helpful. It is a beautiful compound the kids enjoyed running around in. The up-front prices for the artwork they display on the walls, and the bird book for sale, we're very welcome. Thank you all.
The mosquito nets had holes so we used our own the first night. However, on telling Simon, the staff immediately offered to change their nets, which was great.

Verified reviewThe host and staff were very helpful and hospitable. I missed my flight which disorganised my stay dates. However, Angella ( the lovely host) re-booked everything for me, arranged an airport pick up for me at 415am We didn't leave the airport until 5am but I found my driver happily waiting for me. I was welcomed by a polite friendly gentleman and assisted me with my luggage to my room ( A whole chalet, 3 beds..lucky me)! There is freshly made tasty food everyday on request for lunch and dinner. My breakfast was a local speciality of matooke and fish. Very tasty! I loved the powerful hot shower especially after a long flight. The guest house is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood ( just about 10-15 mins drive away from Entebbe town)one can enjoy a peaceful quiet sleep. It felt like home away from home. I would definitely return to stay.
Nothing I can think of. All was great

Verified reviewThe guest house has a beautiful garden and very spacious rooms. It was very clean. We were greeted by the manager when arriving that was quite late in the evening in a super friendly way. She also offered us some snacks because we could not have dinner due to our late flight. She was very nice and made us feel at home. Great place to stay in Entebbe!
