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.).

NetherlandsCan't think of anything - just keep in mind that you're not in Diani which is a plus for me but may be a negative for people looking to go clubbing.
My partner and I stayed at this lodge for 3 nights and we really loved it. We wanted to avoid the crowds of Diani and were happy to find this lodge: it offered the comfort you would expect in a tourist place, but situated on the beach in a lovely village close to the charming fisherman's town of Shimoni. We enjoyed taking the bodaboda through the village and the snorkeling and dolphin watching around Shimoni / Wasini Island and the owners are currently setting up more activities like kite surfing. The lodge is relatively new and the owners put a lot of care into rebuilding this place. The staff was friendly, the food was nice and we felt well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and hope to be able to come back!

SwitzerlandLeaving! 🤪
The place looks amazing. It’s been freshly renovated with a lot of taste and they put a lot of effort into making it simple yet elegant. The staff make you feel at home and are really helpful. Breakfast was everything we could’ve dreamed of. We spent 2 entire days hanging out and didn’t get bored thanks to the view, the pool, the kayak, the hammocks, the chess and table football games. Would 100% recommend for a relaxing stay, out of the agitation from Diani or other mass tourism destinations.

SwitzerlandThe mosquitos and the rain which made the access road quite challenging for tuk tuks. There was also no indication of where exactly to turn into the woods to the beach hotel, so a GPS is absolutely indispensable.
The hotel is quite incredible, architectonically somewhere between ancient Swahili style and Grimm's fairy tales, right on the beach with spectacular views of the sunrise. The waves of the nightly high tide will be your lullaby. You will find there all kinds of accommodations, from the luxury tent for two to the spacious family apartment. The hotel also offers the possibility of various activities, like kayaking, kite surfing, volleyball, table football, pool, or excursions up the river through the mangrove forests, as well as a trip to the marine national park Kisite. The staff are all absolutely marvelous and helpful. One can easily feel at home there, we even extended our stay. Breakfast is copious and varied. The cook also makes probably the best hamburger (the Mwazaro burger, and not only) of all the Kenyan coast. We can highly recommend this place and will for sure go back there soon.

United StatesThis is located in a cove of mangroves, so the mosquitoes are quite bad, especially when it rains.
This is a real gem! The location is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff is extremely warm and welcoming. The facilities were sparkling clean. The food was excellent, especially freshly caught seafood.

KenyaWe loved the whole experience:) one small thing would be the mosquito nets are really thick, which made it really hard to feel the fan or sea breeze through it and was a bit of a hot sleep.
Beautiful and somewhat remote location, it was glorious! The recently renovated rooms are so gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff were super friendly, helped me with a birthday cake for my friend, let us use their paddleboards and were just super accommodating. We want to come back already, 1 night was not at all enough!

GermanyThe last kilometer of the access road is quite bumpy.
An outstandingly beautiful, quiet and friendly place with great location directly at a marvelous lagoon. The resort has been lovingly renovated end of 2022, and all accomodation is of high quality and new. All was very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. There is a bar and a restaurant with excellent food. At low tide you can enjoy a walk of several kilometers along the coast through the mangroves, or you can go on a boat trip along a mangrove-cladded river with many birds (including a colony of kingfisher) looking for crocodiles.
