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.).

Perhaps they could invest in an electronic gate as the manual one is too cumbersome and long winded to operate
The environment is ok for people who wish a quiet and safe environment with self services facilities etc Gas stove,Fridge,electric Stove and support solar power through out. Including WiFi. Nice garden, you can also enjoy braai facilities if you like tgat

We had a great stay at EAGLE WEAVERS NEST. It's a big property with lots of space and privacy. The host was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. There is a backup power unit that kicks in when the electricity goes off (quite common in Livingstone) which was super useful.

I would try to make it easier for tourists to get in/out of the apartment. You literally have to open four locks to get inside the apartment!
If I am ever back in Livingstone, I would stay there again. Just be aware that there are a lot of outages in Zambia (more than half of the time when I was there), which is for sure not the host's fault and you do get electricity from solar panels, but not for the laundry machine, A/C or refrigerator. The apartment is well equipped and nice.

The location is a bit far away from the town centre, but there is a driver who can take you places if you need.
The owner of the place is extremely nice. Our bus broke down so we arrived after midnight and he still came to pick us up and left some food for us to have when we arrived. The house is big, comfortable with everything you need (washing machine, microwave, cooking appliances, coffee and tea...). Beds are great. It was a very enjoyable stay.

The small entrance gate lock was quite tricky but the kind shuttle driver fixed it with some oil.
The place is literally a throw away from all we needed, the touristic sites, food spots and the airport. Such a strategic location definitely a must stay at kind of place.

Nothing I can point out as my stay was just a day.
It was very comfortable and clean. I was really impressed with the backup power as I am aware Zambia is experiencing power issues. The facilities such as WiFi and air conditioning especially during this hot season made for a more comfortable stay. The hosts were great too.

The hosts were so hospitable and friendly. I was well received and all amenities were well maintained and functional. I was extremely impressed with the quality of service from clean rooms, showers, friendly staff and to top it all consistent power supply. Eagle Weavers is well powered up with sufficient energy backup facilities and I was never affected by any power outages that are affecting Zambia at the moment i.e I experienced 24 hours daily power supply with excellent internet connection during my stay.

Nothing really I wish my stay was longer though a free airport shuttle would be a plus.
It’s located near the town centre and airport. Very easy to find and in a good and quiet neighborhood. Coming from the UK I never expected the power cuts so the power backup kept me connected and was able to catch up on my favorite TV shows with the smart TV and WiFi. The washing machine and hot shower made my stay more convenient and comfortable. Would definitely come here again!

Free shuttle to and from the airport would be a well come addition to the already good offerings.
The power backup was good as you were able to watch TV and stream your favourite channels during load shedding and that the washing machine in the apartment just added to the overall comfort.
