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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

We booked the cheapest room possible, and we were expecting just what is there. A bed to sleep on.

United KingdomStanding fan in room was not working only the ceiling fan worked the bathroom area could of been cleaner bucket was left with left over water from whomever used it last and the water cup was disgustingly slimy which showed it had not been washed for a long time I had to cut a water bottle open and use it instead I also had to buy Dettol to wash out the bucket and wash area before use. My main enjoyment was the scenery the ocean the tranquility of the surrounding nature is what I came for but the rooms can do better Osikan rooms are better for the money has Air conditioning and bigger beds at only 200 cedi I paid 300 cedi to stay because i booked online it's cheaper if you just go directly and pay but still more expensive than Osikan . Rising Phoenix is a nice place to be if you love nature the ocean especially because you feel like your sleeping on a boat only the boat is not moving you fall asleep and awake to the sounds of the ocean waves hitting the rocks and it's highly relaxing You can hang out amongst cool chilled people and just feel relaxed and indulge in the beautiful nature that surrounds you if your looking for materialistic Luxury this is not the place to come but if your looking for peacefulness tranquility surrounded and provided by nature Rising Phoenix is the place to be .
I like the location being surrounded by the ocean this was my main reason for staying

PolandThere was no running water when we woke up in the morning, no chance to take a shower, flush the toilet etc, which was pretty frustrating. When we were leaving around 13.00 still no change, no water. This is a real issue. I understand the price is low as this is a basic and budget place but no running water at all for half a day killed all our positive vibe impressions. Maybe if you're staying here for while it's okay to wait for water to come back but we had a flight to take so it was a real nuisance, not sure how often this lack of water happens but I don't recommend the place when you're about to take a long flight and need to shower before;)
This was our 2nd stay in this place, this time we got room no 1 which was really good, the fan (tiny though) was working, there was a private bathroom, quite a lot of space, some shelves and even a wardrobe;) Saturday night was very quiet in the bar (we expected more party atmosphere after our first stay) but altogether it was pleasant.) In the morning we bought breakfast which was quite tasty.

PolandThe room we occupied that night (no 7) had a fan which was literally hanging on the last thread so we were afraid to switch it on for the night as we feared it would decapitate us :D Really, even some slight renovation effort would make this place so much nicer:)
This is a very basic and budget place with rasta/reggae vibe and amazing view on the sea. Don't expect much but also the price for accommodation is very low. We stayed here twice - on the night I'm just reviewing we were lucky to come just in time for reggae festival which lasted almost all night (Haile Sellasie coronation day), there was a great atmosphere, guests from Ethiopia etc. This was really a great experience so the discomforts in the room were of no importance. The bar serves Ghanaian beers and some other limited alcohol; there's also food available and it's really tasty. Staff varies from person to person, some are curt, some very nice; but generally you feel welcome here, there are also many frequenters who are happy to socialise;)

United KingdomThe location is beautiful - you've got the ocean right in front of you. It is a bit noisy at night because of the waves, and still - just beautiful and serene. The accommodation and facilities are basic and clean. Everything was working. Only breakfast took a bit long, that's all. I will be back.

United KingdomIt is not easy for drivers to find, it is down a muddy uneven road which a few drivers didn't understand how to get to it. The was hardly any food actually available for lunch in the restaurant on Friday lunch time. Most rooms have a shared bathroom with two toilets and 2 bucket showers, but they were pretty clean. The water was shut off during a rain storm which I guess happens a lot in rainy season. It could do with some refurbishment.
It's right by the sea, you can hear the waves and enjoy the view of the ocean. There is a bar. It's very cheap. The staff are friendly and kind.

The restaurant they have is excellent with authentic Ghanian dishes and the quantity is also great. Very affordable prices.
