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.).

KenyaWhile the breakfast offered at the hotel was satisfactory, it didn't quite match the standards set by other aspects of my stay. It was decent but lacked the variety and freshness I had hoped for. For dinner, I decided to try the a la carte pizza. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The flavor was lacking, and the overall quality was disappointing. I made sure to provide feedback to the waiters in the hopes that it would be taken constructively for future improvement.
I was pleased with the quality of the rooms. They were comfortable, well-maintained, and provided all the necessary amenities for a relaxing stay. The location of the hotel was also excellent, offering easy access to nearby attractions and boasting a beautiful beach just a stone's throw away. Upon arrival, I had a great check-in experience. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made me feel welcome right from the start. It set a positive tone for the rest of my stay.

AustriaThe place could use some facelifting but all in all it was a great experience of the Kenyan hospitality.
The location is brilliant, there is a beautiful long beach with very fine white sand right in front of the hotel. The hotel itself is not one building but a large piece of land studded with small cottages, palm trees and baobabs (and occasional monkey) which gives it an authentic vibe. Staff is extremely helpful and pleasant.

KenyaI recently stayed here and unfortunately, it was not a fair value for the money. From the moment I entered the room, I was greeted by an unwelcome sight - croakroaches everywhere. It was truly appalling and made my entire stay incredibly uncomfortable. Despite paying what I believed to be a reasonable rate for accommodation, the presence of these pests made it impossible to enjoy any aspect of my stay. I brought this issue to the attention of the staff, but their response was lackluster at best. In addition to the inconvenience and disgust caused by the croakroaches, the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the room left much to be desired.
Location and view were nice.

AustraliaThe wifi is sketchy. The security of the room was dodgy as another guest was able to access my room via their key, didn’t bother reporting as it was our final morning. The pool needed a top up it was very low in water. It was difficult to get pool towels so once we got them we kept them the rest of our stay to avoid the hassle. The bar staff need a better system as they had no idea what was ordered once a tab was started and we were overcharged 5k Kenyan shillings which took a long time to resolve.
Location was great, food on the pool deck was lovely especially throughout the Christmas period, air con was nice and quiet, they brought a fridge to the room when requested and the pillows were nice and flat.

KenyaThe WiFi is almost not existing. Only around reception it worked reasonable. And as the safaricom network is very bad there too one has to go to the reception area for any kind of communication. If this problem can be solved I will come again if not, sorry. I can imagine that I'm not the only one who suffers with this issue. Thus I would highly recommend the management to install a modern WiFi system in order to avoid loss of clients
