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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomThe location isn't the best however you can clearly see it is an up and coming neighborhood with buildings already in place for businesses. You will need a vehicle or to make use of the lovely taxi/neighbour to get you around. We are a family who wak a lot and far but in this instance it would be unrealistic depending on what you are after. You can't tick every box but the main standard is met, that being the accommodation standard being westernised.
Immaculatly clean, easy to access the property, back garden and pool for your leisure. If you have laundry to do you have a washing machine which is especially useful if you have children. Drive at the front of the property for your vehicle if you have one. It is a gated community so you can feel especially safe at night.

United StatesIt would be nice to have the option to pay by card.
A real gem. Amazing to have electricity 24/7. All the amenities are excellent. The mattress was the most comfortable I've slept on in Zambia. Super fast internet. Having a washing machine was also a lifesaver. I didn't use the pool but it looked very clean and inviting. Very friendly and thoughtful staff too. Quiet and secure location (although rather distant from most things, so be aware of that - but if you don't mind taking taxis or driving, then it's not a problem).

NetherlandsBecause of the noise of the generator, it's not so nice to sit outside in the garden and use the pool (but this is definitely not a big issue). No shade to park your car in.
Clean, spacious apartment, with a well equipped kitchen (with washing machine!), 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (with solar heated water). Very fast (Starlink) WiFi and back-up generator during the 12+ hour power cuts (with somebody looking after it 24/7), so we could work and make video calls at the apartment. Every morning, the housekeeper came to check if everything was ok and if the apartment needed to be cleaned. Secure parking right next to the apartment, behind a gate (the apartment is also in a gated community (Emerald Hill), with security).

ZambiaInitially the location, but once I figured out where I was it was okay. It's right opposite Papa Joe's and if you are looking for directions use that as a reference point.
The facilities were as pictured. Very high end finishes and equipment in the flat, very clean, comfortable, spacious and offered great value for money.
