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 reviewGuest has no control over aircon. When it is switched on at night it is way too cold. The bathroom doesn't offer privacy - visible from the street and no curtain or blind. The towels didn't feel clean. I had a small towel in my bag that I could use. The door faces the street so as a single female traveling I did not feel safe No easy access to amenities like coffee shops etc.

The customer service was not good. Staff were not efficient in getting the room cleaned on time as well as communicating when the cleaning was completed.

Verified reviewStaff was great! The whole vibe was cool and fun.
The property hasn’t been maintained well. Stains on the sheets, and other little things like that. It has so much potential, so close to great. But you can see why it doesn’t have a higher rating.

Verified reviewThe design and concept of the property are lovely, and the location is convenient. The overall layout has potential, and the décor gives it a modern feel.
Unfortunately, the maintenance could be improved. I experienced mosquitoes and a couple of cockroaches during my stay, and the towel I was given was very worn. The bed was sinking in the middle, which made it uncomfortable to sleep. The breakfast was not to my taste, so I chose to skip it after the first day. The internet connection kept dropping, which was surprising and made it difficult to work or stay connected. Staff were polite but seemed more focused on talking among themselves than engaging with guests. With closer management and some attention to detail, the experience could be much better.

Verified reviewThe staff was amazing from the gate to the reception to meeting them on the premises. I appreciated the friendly smiles back. The internet connection perfect no issues. I loved loved the lofts I stayed in, everything about it was just perfect... my 7 days in Lusaka 4 were spent at the Cubes. Definitely coming back.
Twice went to the restaurant to order and they were out on the food I wanted. Just had to order something else. 1st night I got in at around 22:30 I wanted to shower there was no hot water.

Verified reviewThe Facility is exactly as is in photos. Even better in person. The room was cleaned daily and staff were very resourceful. We also enjoyed a complimentary visit to Sakae plus daily breakfast which really warmed our hearts. Ms Mutale was very welcoming and accommodative of all our requests! Will definitely recommend the property and look forward to future visits!
