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.).

AustraliaI had a lovely stay at Mombasa Comfort House. The host is incredibly friendly and hospitable, happy to help with anything, and the apartment was spotless. She even met me very early in the morning to ensure I was able to get a taxi to the airport. The location is also great, right in the heart of the old town, and it's really a unique neighbourhood to stay in. The amenities are basic, but it was all I needed for a simple, enjoyable stay.

MalawiEverything was great..just one recommendation to always use the tuktuk driver Fatima can organize for you, as it will be half if not a third the price of anything you can get on the street and Fatima can book the driver for you.
This is a really great place to stay right in the old part of Mombasa which is very atmospheric. It is comfortable, spotlessly clean and quiet. We also felt very safe walking around even in the evening. Fatima was a wonderful and kind host, she helped me find a couple of shops in the old town to do some.errands and showed us the market, she went out of her way bearing in mind it is Ramadan at the moment. If we come back to Mombasa we would stay here again for sure, it was such a good experience.

KenyaAn AC might be an asset, but huge ceiling fan in the sitting room and the bedroom so it's manageable.
Location was very nice. Unlike what was said online, old Town was a very very safe place for me. Beautiful neighborhood and proximity to the ocean as well. Best part is the hostess. Fatma was so kind and is ready to help out with every request you have. She helped me organize transport from airport, city tour in the morning and sunset boat tour in the evening. Recommend for everyone

South AfricaNice apartment in the heart of Old Town. Fatma, the host, was really helpful and kind to assist us with everything … from money exchange to organising milk for our daughter late in the evening, to recommendations on restaurants etc. Advice: Ask your driver to phone her to get directions, we used the gps and it was a little bit difficult to find it, but she can give instructions to the driver for an easy way to get there !!

United KingdomThe only thing I didnt like was the shower has no hot water. But this is common in Kenya and most of the time not needed because weather is warm
Fatma is the best host in the world! She is kind and super helpful and incredibly welcoming; she will help with anything you may need. The location in the old town is perfect for exploring Mombasa on foot, it feels very safe and tuk tuks are cheap and plentiful if you prefer not to walk. Great cafes and restaurants a few minutes away. The apartment is clean and comfortable and very secure

SpainThe location is just next to the most touristy area of Old Town but in the more dodgy-looking area of it and some users didn't want to come to this area. That being said, it was safe and calm for tourists, we had zero issues.

BangladeshI appreciate my host's support and helpfulness during my stay. She is an excellent host. I was struggling to find the way to the house and she came to pick me up. It was late at night and she helped me to find a good restaurant to get dinner and walked with me to get there. She helped to find a female guide for the city tour. The house was clean and well-equipped, in the heart of the old town. This place is a much stay.

AustraliaThe accommodation looks like the pictures. It is a ground floor apartment. Fatma is very kind and helpful and lives upstairs and is available to help and offer recommendations. Old Town Mombasa is cool, we really liked it. There are restaurants around and the apartment is close to the waterfront. The apartment sleeps 5 and has a fridge, kitchen and bathroom. The walls are thin so you can hear noise from the street and other dwellings but it didn't bother me and I still slept very well.

PolandThere is always something that could be better but generally, the attitude of the host made the stay a great experience.
Very spacious and clean apartment near old town - definitely bigger than 15m. Fatma, the host, is a lovely and very helpful person. She helped us with arrangements for further travels and immediately responded to all our inquiries. Please have in mind that local drivers are cheating so the best way to get there is to ask Fatma for a driver. She will arrange someone in the regular price or even better that the one that you would get with Uber.
