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.).

DenmarkThe bed mattress was too soft and triggered some back pain.
Quiet location at 200m from the beach, beautifully decorated traditional villas in a well maintained garden, excellent personal cook, nice massage. The swimming pool is also very nice to spend time with the family. Lucia had arranged a taxi to pick us at Mombasa airport and a delicious dinner -Swahili prawns- was ready when we arrived. Nice selection of local crafts at reasonnable price in the small boutique. Thanks for everything, we loved our stay!

ItalyThe main issue we would pinpoint is communication with the host. Even though the staff was really amicable, any kind of communication with the host/small request felt like too much, as if timing to approach them was never good.
Location was great but we enjoyed the complimentary chef service the most. Food was really good, he was very nice and kept everything super clean.

Norwayvery little to complain about, the only drawback was that when not being on the beach, the lack of evening breeze made the evenings on the porch sweltering hot.

IndiaWe went at the end of the season and it was very hot, the villa is not on the beachside and didn't have the same winds and cooling effect which you typically experience in a beachside cottage. The ground floor bedrooms in our cottage was very hot due to lack of any cross wind or ventilation. Rosie gave us an extra fan which helped a bit.
The service of chef while stay is a unique offering and is very nice. It saved us from eating out meals whilst enjoying a large variety. The chef Hesbene knew vegetarian cooking and was very punctual and committed. The host Lucia and the staff - Rosie are very nice and genuinely care about the comforts of the guests. The Wassini island trip was organised for us which was a great experience.

UgandaMosquitos are pretty bad and it is very hot. They do have fans to help, but it does make the nights more difficult.
If you are a Genius member of Booking.com, the villa comes with a cook. He was excellent and kind. He did the grocery shopping (paid by you outside of booking cost) and made delicious meals. If your trip to Diani is about relaxation and going to the beach, this setup worked very well. The pool was clean and 30 ft from the villa. It is about a 10 minute walk to get to the beach, but it's also easy to get a tuk tuk drive there.

EthiopiaThis is not the responsibility of the Villa, but due to the season, the jumbo shrimps and Lobsters were hard to get. Even our competent chef had a hard time finding them. Also, the overall villa and rooms are bit smaller than we expected. Especially, upper floor was not practical to use due to the steep and narrow steps(we had young children, and I think the stairs are dangerous to young or old people). The beach is within an easy walking distance, but it still can't compare to the beach front villas. No TVs, so it could be bit boring after some days after beach and pool play.
As a genius member, a wonderful chef was included, and he served from 8 am to 8 pm from breakfast, lunch and dinner. He even could serve snacks between meals! And the chef was an excellent and honest cook! We loved his seafood dishes. Generally, we loved the service of all the workers, especially, Rosy was very helpful and kind enough to assist us in many things.

United KingdomNothing, it was a perfect property for our needs.
Red coral Villa was clean and tidy with lovely rustic furniture. Traditional thatched roof with the biggest room taking up the whole roof space. Comfy beds with mosquito nets. Great pool with plenty of loungers and chairs to chill out and sunbathe. The best thing is the staff. Our personal chef, Saidi, looked after us so well. He helped us choose our meals, then went to the shops to get all the ingredients. super taste food - my favourite was the Fish curry. The villa manager, Rosie and her staff did an awesome job of keeping the villa and the gardens clean and tidy. There was also a lovely lady called Lillian who was the in house masseuse with her own treatment room by the pool. We would definitely stay here again.

EstoniaThis is a place that one would think of as a perfect beach holiday accommodation - 3 villas in a beautifully kept garden full of flowers and a lovely, clean and warm pool. The personal cook for every villa means you will be served the meals you can only dream of, the cook does all the shopping as well - what else could one expect from a perfect holiday. The beach is very close, with a lovely beach bar also popular with the locals. Lucia (who lives within the same compound) and her team are always there to assist with day trips, etc. Would go back in a sec.
