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.).

RussiaIt was a great time spent at Footprints. Feeling like home due to very hospital hosts, staff and incredible dogs and cats, who became our friends for these 6 days. Going to the beach or main road with cafes and shopping centre is very easy from Footprints. The territory is green and shady even with Baobab nearby. On the way to the beach you will meet lizards, monkeys and birds. The beach area here is quiet and not many people. NB. Try the food in Searenity hotel which is 50 meters down . The great service, food and ocean view costs even less than in cafes at the main road.

PortugalAs it is not beach front, although it is just 5 minutes from the beach, I needed to find another place to spend the day and go to the sea every time I wanted.
The staff is just amazing. They also provided a taxi no pick me up at the train station and it was very easy to get there. Breakfast was delicious. The room was comfortable and big.

The super-friendly pets and a lovely garden added to the overall charm, making it perfect for a honeymooning couple. Our hosts were quick and friendly in responding to all our requests and shared wonderful advice about the area. A heartfelt thanks for their warm hospitality. We cherish the memories created during our stay!

AustraliaI had some difficulty locking my bedroom door but the guard was able to help me.
Great atmosphere and amazing location. Just 2min walk from the beach along a private path, it was so easy to get around. My bed was comfy, my room had so many fans and was nice and cool. Breakfast was fine, nothing special but a good sized meal. Also I love the property pets, the sweetest dogs and cats live here. Really makes it feel like home.

GermanyFootprints House surpassed all our expectations in every aspect. The team, including the owners and their amiable dogs and cat, played a significant role in ensuring our safety and comfort throughout our stay. The breakfast served was delicious, and the convenient location of the property was a definite bonus. Their flexibility was greatly beneficial for us. Given the value for the price, we wholeheartedly recommend Footprints House as an outstanding choice.

GermanyWhat a special place! I loved the family atmosphere between the hosts, staff and other guests. The house and garden are beautiful and felt very much like a home away from home. The service was very attentive, courteous and accommodating to requests. There were two breakfast options every morning, which were lovingly prepared and very delicious. The location of the house is ideal, felt very safe and the proximity to the beach and many restaurants and bars is a big plus. If the beach is a bit too busy for you, you can always relax by the beautiful pool. You should like animals as there are a few sweet cats and dogs who are very well behaved. I had a wonderful few days at Footprints House and thank Reesha and everyone else so much. I will gladly come back!

United KingdomNot much at all.
Loved the layout and the relaxed comfortable vibe. The room I was provided with was big and spacious with a private bathroom. Unfortunately it didn’t come with a mosquito net but I had brought one with me and the windows had nets secured to them. The staff were friendly and accommodating, lots of recommendations from the hosts in a book but they were also kind enough to share their contact number if I needed anything, it wasn’t a problem. The location was perfect, short walk to the beach and so many restaurant and cafes in walking distance or a short tuktuk ride. I had really comfortable stay. Although I was travelling solo the people I met here including the hosts were so welcoming. If and when I visit Diani again I wouldn’t hesitate booking my stay here.
