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.).

KenyaLocated in a very quiet environment, close to the beach which is a very short walk from the resort. The owner and staff have tried to maintain a "home-away-from-home" atmosphere that feels very cosy and welcoming. Also, I really loved the interior decorations and organic toiletries that came in the room. Small details like this make a huge difference.

FranceThis hotel is quite the gem! Me and my colleagues came to Malindi for work. Our workshops are organised at nice hotels (Ocean Beach or Sandies type) in the area and we always try to stay at these hotels as well for convenience. It was our 4th time in Malindi and everything was booked this time around so me and my colleagues were in search of a different hotel. We found Lion's and what a discovery!! Worth the try, I highly recommend! The food is delicious, the hotel is comfortable and quiet, pristine clean and the staff is absolutely lovely. They made our work week very comfortable!

The personal touch from the owners 👌🏾. They made us feel at home and would go out of their way to help us experience the vibe and culture in Malindi. Imelda is really a special one. Very friendly and helpful. All the staff were so pleasant and really helpful. The food was also so delicious. I spent my birthday here and they made it super special for me. I would definitely recommend Lions' luxury Eco Resort and Spa to anyone visiting Malindi.

KenyaThe Sockets to charge phones and laptops did not have enough power voltage (they were short circuiting).
The Breakfast was just standard. When you pay $11 for Breakfast, then it should have more options and choices.

United StatesLion’s house is a hidden gem in Malindi. For those who value tranquility, peace and quiet unwinding, this is the place for you. The place is an architectural masterpiece, the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. The owner Andrea and Imelda were absolutely incredible in ensuring that we were comfortable and happy throughout. They went out of their way to ensure that we moved around easily in Malindi. Rooms are very clean. The WI-FI was stable. Thursdays is disco night, we loved the party 🎉.

South AfricaWifi didn't reach the room unfortunately, however it works super well by the pool. The owner didnt seem interested in meeting us. Maybe tired after a long season? His wife seemed lovely though. The place is a bit remote. They advertised pizza but didn't sell any so had to go out. Luckily Bar Bar near by was great.
Loved the pool and the lovely chill space. The employees working there were really nice! The rooms have air con which is a much appreciated touch.

United KingdomAt first when we checked in we were taken to a room which is a tent 🤔and I said I did not pay to live in a tent . Only one one lady attending to everyone during the day and at night. No hot shower The power cut is annoying everyday for long hours . Wifi is sooooo bad . Restriction you can’t bring any food , drink to the hotel , first Time i have ever had this . Apparently the owner does like it.
