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.).

LuxembourgWe informed the staff that there should be serious work on the water pipes and water pressure as the issue has been preventing water in the shower to run properly. If the owner's dog has a bad night, sleep can suffer.
This was our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the quietness and beauty of the place. African House is a very special place thanks to the utmost care being taken to curate the surroundings and make it like a museal place. For anyone enjoying a retreat away from the hassle of urban life, that's it.

United StatesIt was a bit expensive for my budget given that it is quite far from the beach and the wifi had troubles working at the start but overall it was well worth it and a great stay.
wonderful staff, especially the security gentleman, the housekeeping and Mr. Mombasa and Steven. Thank you all so much for having me. This place is very quiet and chill, and once the wifi started working well was great. Wonderful room as well and very comfortable and nice place.

KenyaI would suggest that the management needs to consider asking the guests where they would like to have their breakfast. I would have liked the possibility of having the breakfast at the comfort of my room, and not having to go to the restaurant.
The breakfast was wonderful. There was a variety to pick from and at the end of it, we were satisfied. And the personnel serving was friendly and helpful.

KenyaWater pressure in the bathroom can use a bit of an upgrade. Because it’s away from the beach, lunch and breakfast at the restaurant can be too hot. But this is not a déterrant
It’s an oasis of beautiful gardens with very spacious and comfortable rooms and a great pool. But what struck us the most is the level of service and kindness we received from everyone. It’s beyond anything we have experienced on the coast.

KenyaThe beach is about 15minutes away walking. That walking can be good for exercise.
The ambience and environment just kills you. Lovely is an understatement. If you have an eye that loves a cool, sweet and beautiful place, African home is the place. It is right in the middle of the leafy suburbs of Malindi, stress free, just the wheezing sound of the trees. The swimming pool is fairly warm even when it was getting cold. The staff are very friendly and the owner is right there to ensure your comfort and peace of mind. If I get another opportunity, I would go back there anytime without blinking.
