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.).

Loved our stay here and we extended it one more day. We liked the calmness of the resort, the food selection of the restaurant, the location (access to the beach), the resort in general, being in nature with the monkeys :), the friendly & helpful staff, and lastly the option to plan several activities.

United StatesEverything!
Flamboyant Diani is a home away from home. I have stayed here 3 times now and can’t recommend it enough. What a special place. You really do feel like this is a home stay. So personal! Angie is wonderful as always. I never have to worry about anything as Angie helps with arranging with all sorts of activities, transfers etc. The hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. I absolutely love the upstairs suite. Can’t beat the price either. Just great. Highly recommended!

KenyaThe breakfast was wonderful with reasonable variety, the restaurant meals were also good so no need to go eat elsewhere. my 10 year old enjoyed the pool so much. The beach was so clean and a nice area to swim and sunbeds provided by the hotel. Rooms were clean and the housekeepers always made our beds and cleaned our room every day, also provided clean towels when needed. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be going back to Flamboyant.

Great location just off the beach. Generous and good breakfast ….. restaurant has a pool sea view. The staff were always so cheerful and happy to help. For us it was perfect and loved how our room had its own veranda and looked out onto the gardens ….. lots of peace and quiet too! Comfortable bed, good storage for clothes and suitcases. Always spotlessly clean.

FranceThe room (facing East/pool view) only has very thin white curtains, meaning strong light from 6am, impossible to sleep in. Monkeys hanging around the property, occasionally stealing food.
Beautiful property. Great sandy beach for swimming in front of the hotel, and lounging chairs/beds under the trees facing the beach or around the pool. The beach is large and wasn't busy at all when we were there. It wasn't really possible to snorkel. At low tide the water is calm but not clear enough to see anything. You can do a snorkeling trip with a small glass bottom boat / group trip from the hotel to "Robinson island" (just a sand bank), not that impressive and the sea was a bit rough, but it is pleasant and very near. Basic breakfast buffet is included in the rate (the hotel only has a few rooms so you can't expect a large buffet). We paid a bit more for AC and it was certainly worth it. There is a variety of rooms with different features and fair pricing. Possible to refill the water bottes. Helpful staff, generally laid back and casual vibe. The restaurant is always open and has decent food options.

NorwayOne of the waitress could have more maner. Quite good menu but limited selection. Milk, weetabix, cornflakes, bread and a couple of spreads, but no yoghurt, fruit and juice at the breakfast buffet. Seemed to be a popular place for older men accompanied by young Kenyan girls.
The manager greeted customers at the breakfast, asking if things were OK. General good service and a good atmosphere. Quite and nice location.
