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.).

UgandaNo doors in the bathroom and toilet, I found it odd as I am used to closed bathroom and toilet door.
The sea view from my cottage was breathtaking. I enjoyed the band nights, they were so refreshing. The experience was just what I was looking for to unwind and rejuvenate.

United StatesThere were people along the beach trying to sell you souvenirs. Even after we purchased items, they remained very persistent.
The staff were all wonderful and very helpful. The food and drinks were great. I was able to enjoy a wonderful deep tissue massage while I was there. The beach is absolutely beautiful.

United KingdomNot quite luxury, some design flaws e.g the toilet is not fully separate from the bedroom, you can't see the toilet but there is no door in between. Kettle is placed in area without a wall socket.
The rooms are very close to the beach! All staff members are polite and go out of their way to help you.

NetherlandsWifi didn't reach the room which was mildly inconvenient but not a big issue. Three of us had paid to have dinner included but 4 dinners were not taken (late arrival, early departure) and we were not allowed to shift one of those to a different person (3 other dinners were allowed to be switched to lunch though). Of course they are absolutely not required to allow that, but it would have been a nice gesture from management. Staff was very friendly and patient about it.
The hotel has a great location right at the beach. The grounds are well kept, rooms are nice (a bit basic but thats okay). Staff is very friendly and really helpful when planning activities.

KenyaReception demanded I pay in USD at check in. I refused on the basis that my booking was in local currency and reception staff forced me to prove it in order to be allowed to pay in Kenyan shilling.
Very good value for money. Room was really nice. Bar and waiting staff particularly nice and helpful. Food is good and not overpriced.

GermanyMy parents got very sick with the stomachs. Not sure if it was connected to cocktails or food.
I visited the hotel with my parents. We all enjoyed the stay very, very much. Super friendly staff, beautiful bar and restaurant, very close to the beach. Quiet at night, large rooms with very comfy beds. The gymn was also ok, I used it once, dispite the 35 degrees - coz I had justed turned the AC on, one should do that in advance, maybe.

United KingdomThe aircon in the room is blowing cold air straight onto bed, which makes it uncomfortably cold. Some days, the hotel was busy, and there weren't enough umbrellas.
This hotel exceeded our expectations. Staff was really friendly, and hotel room was always clean. Hotel is right on the most amazing beach. There is bar and restaurant with the most AMAZING views. We had most relaxing stay here and will be happily staying here again when back in Kenya.

United Kingdom£ to ksh exchange rate very poor though credit cards accepted with no surcharge.
Only 20 rooms spread across the beach front and well kept grounds and gardens so felt comfortable. Clean beach area directly in front of the hotel but be prepared for the local sellers, though they do take notice if you don't want anything. Very good room size with everything you would need, including a private terrace. Daily cleaning was very good. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Even served dinner to the room when torrential rain flooded the restaurant, so couldn't ask for better service under the circumstances. Good variety at breakfast and good restaurant meals were well cooked, tasty, well presented and very reasonably priced. Well stocked bar. Lovely large pool situated at the back of the hotel in the garden area with sunbeds and shade. Beach front beds and shade were well spaced out so you didn't feel crowded. There are a few restaurants within easy walking distance if you want a change, though some of them close around 6:30 which was a little too early for us. Safe and quiet area. Would recommend.
