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.).

Tranquil and lovely! We had a wonderful stay. As soon as we entered the gates we immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. Everything is spotlessly clean and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We also loved the location- so close to all the things we wanted to do in Karen. Also as an extra bonus, they donate 100% of their proceeds to a local children’s charity. Definitely recommend Acacia Tree!

SpainYou do need to be mindful of noise; the corridors can echo and if you have rooms the side of the cafe then you will be aware of them setting up in the morning. There is also a very annoying high pitched noise connected to a pump that will annoy if you have rooms at the back - I believe they are sorting this though - they need to! I would recommend putting mosquito nets in all the rooms as they seem to have been removed and are needed. Service from the kitchen can be slow and their is no alcohol license so you need to take your own if you want wine or a beer with a meal.
When travelling through Nairobi we always choose to stay at Acacia Tree Lodge. It is perfectly located in the Karen, is very secure and a safe area and provides a very 'home away from home' personal service. It is relatively small so as not to be too busy and with the addition of the cafe now provides food and beverage options throughout the day. Service is always very friendly and helpful. We book airport transfers through the lodge and they can also assist with booking any local tour arrangements etc.

I really liked the friendly service and attention to detail. When wifi was choppy the staff went out of their way to ensure this issue was sorted. I like that this place is in Karen and surrounded by nature and close proximity to the Giraffe center and other cultural shopping places.

United Arab EmiratesAbove each door, there is a one inch open gap, meaning that sound propels directly from the rooms into the shared corridor. This seemingly completely unnecessary opening means that one could hear talks from other rooms. This has been shared by many reviewers and I do not understand why it cannot be fixed.
We really enjoyed our stay here, especially in regards of the serene and quiet location. Sitting in the garden and just enjoying the sound of birds chirping was really soothing. The staff are really excellent and accommodating. The breakfast was very nice, being served outdoors with an egg station. No crowds whatsoever, making us feel we are alone at the hotel.

NigeriaThe vacuuming of room should be thoroughly done after each guest because of little particles and hair that might be left over by outgoing guests. The pillows and mattresses are good but could be firmer for older people with osteoporosis or arthritis.
The staff are generally kind people. They are eager to be of help always. The food is great: either the complimentary breakfast or à la carte.
