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.).

Kenya✓Dirty Pool 😒🙄... Keep the filters on & get a professional to help you keep the pool clean always. ✓Door Locks for Room 206 wasn't working..but John the Property Manager helped us get a better room. ✓Poor Wifi Signal .. ✓ Work with neighboring property owners to clean the pool... The beach is mostly coral at the shore so not as enjoyable. You can however walk further and experience the more sandy and clear water sections of the beach during low tide. The rooms need their locks checked, replaced or sprayed with WD40.. they would jam at times. The common area balcony on the 2nd floor has a lovely view of the ocean but the glass railing is wobbly and therefore hazardous. The WiFi is unstable despite them seeking to have boosters on every floor and every room. The pool needs more regular attention. Please just have the filters on at all times to purify the water... it looked too cloudy and had particles in it.. Makes one uncomfortable to spend time in that water. Overall, I think cleanliness can be improved.. table cloths, beach bed mattresses... it's the little things that take away from this lovely establishment in a big way.
✓Beautiful Ocean View ✓Delicious Breakfast ✓Nice Spacious Rooms with AC Met Beach has a beautiful view of the ocean.. something you enjoy each time you go to the restaurant to have a meal. We also enjoyed their Ala carte breakfast. Special thanks to Safari, our favourite among the staff, very kind and helpful.

UgandaThe swimming pool needs disinfecting as my partner complained of a yeast infection she got after using the Swimming pool. We need more fun activities like an active bar and some music. The place was a little dull.
The breakfast was nice. We enjoyed it with my Partner served by a caring Gentleman. He serves you with a smile with a good attention to detail. The Baked beans were just something I craved for. That was nice.

Switzerland- location is a bit far from nicer parts of the beach, the center and other good restaurants - somehow the last resort on the long beach (but you can easily take a tuktuk to good places) - last part of the beach next to the Navy was not the nicest place, lot of seagrass, rocks in the water to walk over when you want to go for a swim (but this is kind of a problem on most parts at Malindi beach) - no sunbeds on the beach - no seaview from sunbeds in shadow at the pool - instead there was a stone wall to look at. - no save in the room, but having us to sign that the hotel is not reliable if anything valuable gets taken from our room - offer for transfer to airport was a bit expensive, we organised a cheaper transport on our own (25% cheaper) - all in all we felt comfortable and can recommend the hotel when you can live with above mentioned restrictions
- very calm (at that time of year) - good pool restaurant - very nice terrace and relaxing areas inside the small hotel - small but nice pool - good breakfast with fresh prepared food and juices (omelettes and fruits were great as everywhere in Kenia - fresh toasted bread as well) - helping us with our baggage when we had to leave - helpful and friendly staff - especially Marta who helped us to find a good driver and shops and make our stay comfortable - very clean and well equiped spacious room with beautiful terrace with seaview - in general a nice ressort

PortugalMany things need be improved, especially the cleanliness of the common areas (breakfast tables, tablecloths, chairs). The breakfast buffet needs proper refrigeration for fruits, and a better system needs to be found for ordering hot breakfast foods (we waited more than half an hour for an omelette, we had already eaten the rest of our breakfast). The staff were nice but they need more training on service. The hotel really needs to consider the ambience and the experience it provides for its customers: no music, no activities, no local recommendations. My room did not have a bathtub as stated on booking.com.
The staff were nice, and the room was spacious and clean. A bit far compared to most hotels but easy to find a tuk tuk.

Every morning I looked forward to the full selection of breakfast foods, starting with fresh fruit. The sea view room was great. Very clean and comfortable large suite connected to large veranda. Roberto was very helpful, from assisting in flight change, and arranging local activities. The location is great. Quiet and relaxing, yet close enough to activities when they are wanted.
