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.).

BelgiumAt the end there were little kids at the compound. The host send us a message afterwards to apologize because normally kids are not allowed but the guests just came with them so they could not send them away. This caused small frustrations to us because they were very loud and taking over the whole pool and splashing our stuff.
The rooms were ready for us and the check-in was on time. If we had questions they were happy to help us and we also got a message on booking from the host with all the details and info we needed to know. The pool was always really clean, the rooms got cleaned if we asked and the staff was super friendly.

The location is near the airport but far from the main road. The host Liz and her husband are such lovely and kind people. The check in was so smooth and the compound is beautiful, quiet and very clean, the pool had a clear water, clean🤗 The room was cleaned on request and they made our stay so comfortable and we felt at home. There's a kitchen area, so you can prepare your own meals There's a ladder to the rooftop, where you can have a better view of the green area plus even, you might be lucky enough and a plane passes over your head while landing 🤓 how cool is that. The bed was so comfortable and the studio was so spacious. The internet connection is good and the TV works well. There's also a cave with seats, where you can also relax and enjoy the breeze. Their convertible seats are the order of the day after a long, tiring day out🤭 Liz, helped a lot with my daughter and she's such a sweet soul. I'm definitely coming back to Diani, just to experience this again.😃

KenyaNothing. Looking forward to my next visit
I had such a great stay at Cave Diani that I ended up extending for 2 more days. It's very close to the Ukunda air strip and you can watch the planes land at close proximity. It's very quiet at night and I felt very secure as a solo female traveller. The location is off the beaten path but the hosts provide contact numbers for Tuk Tuk/ Boda Boda or SGR transfers which is quite helpful. I quite enjoyed taking a dip in the pool in the coastal heat. The recliner seats were very comfortable and so was the bed. I loved their oversized towels and the shower was great as well. Collin and Lisa are great hosts; always available and hands on.

KenyaAbsolutely enjoyed my stay at cave diani villas !Everything was exactly as seen in the pictures while booking.The hosts are super friendly and always available to sort all your inquiries during your stay. The villas are a quick drive (via tuktuk) to the lovely diani beaches . My favourite part of my stay was interacting with the other guests & with the lovely kitties 😸 at diani villas every afternoon if you are a cat lover be sure to carry some cat treats with you during your stay 😉 ! This is the perfect spot to relax and get away from busy city life,Can't wait to be back again.

Enjoyed my stay at Cave Diani. The establishment has recently opened and started taking guest so they were open to feedback. The hosts Lisa and Colin were informative and helpful. The environment is gorgeous and the view from the infinity pool at night is fabulous!

EthiopiaLocation is a little off the main road, had to depend on tuk tuk (little Bajaj cars) for transportation to the city center for grocery and dinning and also to go to the beach. Walking at night to the apartment was not an option for me personally.
The host replies quickly. The pool was excellent, the ventilation system in the room is excellent for the hot weather. Well kept. Room is clean and nice. Kitchen was good for cooking, fridge is also enough.
