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.).

Great little gem in Diani. It consists of 6 lovely bungalows with a great big swimming pool all tucked into a lush tropical garden. We stayed in a 2 bedroom bungalow, which was decorated with taste, very clean, it had a well equipped kirchen, nice big bathroom and a terrass with a seating area and a a wide sofa. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was lovely and tasty. The location is only a few steps from the beach and close to everything you need: cafes, restaurants, supermarket, bakery, atm, pharmacy etc. Everything is in a walking distance, which is great. Although not far from the main street, it was very quiet and peacful. Would definitely stay again! Only to reccomend!

United StatesThe beach that was close by was dirty and full of seaweed. The beach boys are pretty aggressive. I didn’t mind paying for electricity usage but think this should be disclosed prior to booking.
The cottages were spacious and well appointed. The pool was lovely as were the grounds. The breakfast was tasty and the staff were excellent. There was a grocery store and nice restaurant (Havana) across the street. The owner helped me to book an excellent driver for pick up at train station.

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at Diani Cottages. The property consists of six lovely cottages around a beautiful pool area. The team were amazing and looked after us so well, keeping everything spotlessly clean and well maintained. We felt safe and secure throughout our stay. The location was great, near to the beach, restaurants and a good supermarket

SwedenWe noticed some traffic noise when we were waking up in the morning but considering the advantages of less than a minute’s walk to shopping and restaurants this is not a problem.
The place is about a 10-minute drive from Ukunda Airstrip and the staff had arranged for a taxi that waited for us when the plane landed. The place looks exactly as the pictures. There is a feeling of privacy, every morning the breakfast is served on the private terrace in front of the house and the little monkeys keep their distance. :) When you exit the main gate and turn left there is less than a minute’s walk to a supermarket, shopping, and restaurants. If you instead turn right, then there is a two-minute walk along a small path to the beautiful beach. The staff is friendly and helpful. The laundry service and extra cleaning is cheap. The water in the shower can feel a bit cold in the morning but it is not a problem and if you shower in the afternoon the water has warmed up. All windows have mosquito nets so we could keep all the windows open and had no need for the air condition. Electricity is paid for when you check out but for the two weeks we stayed there, we barely paid anything for electricity. If you use the tuk-tuks for a 10-minute trip then there is even more options of nice restaurants, shopping and even a hospital. This is absolutely a place we want to visit again.

United StatesAt first I was nervous because they couldn't find our reservation. The computer had failed and backup not yet restored. But all worked out in a few minutes. They charge for electricity used, a small amount of money.
Small tastefully decorated large comfortable rooms. Nice breakfast. Clean pool. Monkeys which did not bother us.
