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.).

PolandVery kind and helpful host. He took us to Diani centre with no charge. Tasty breakfasts, clean houses, beautiful surroundings and clean pool. Peaceful area a little bit away from any other hotels which is a great thing if you like when it is quiet.

United StatesWe new there wasn't AC in the unit, but the nights are definitely very hot and it can get stuffy/humid with just fans.
Very spacious room, clean and with a beautiful pool area. The rooms were very clean, the host was very attentive and the breakfast super delicious. They even accomodated for early breakfasts before our dives. It is a short walk to the beach or you can take a cheap tuktuk back and forth. There were moscito nets for all the beds. Absolutely loved our stay.

NetherlandsNothing. All was fine!
Every morning a fresh breakfast was made, consisting of coffee/tea, a fruit shake, eggs (different styles), something sweet, and fresh fruit. The garden is really one of the most (and well maintained) gardens ever seen and the swimming pool is refreshing. The WiFi is great, perfect spot to work remotely. The walk from the apartment to the beach is 15 min. On my way I spoke to many locals and kids; I felt completely safe. There are many options for a drink, lunch or diner on walking distance. In the evening you can take a boda/tuk tuk back to the cottages. I will definitely come back. Thanks Noel and staff for the lovely time!

United KingdomThe walk back at night is a little adventurous, so if it's dark a Tuk Tuk or taxi might be advisable.
Fantastic Place. A little off the beaten track, but an easy walk to the Beach and bars. The pool at the hotel was a good size and very quiet. Noel the owner will help with arranging any transport needs you need and is always helpful.

GermanyIt’s quite far away from the “main center” of Diani beach. If you like it calm or don’t mind a walk to the beach it’s still a great choice. Also there are only nets as windows, which means you will hear the nature sounds from outside. If you have a light sleep keep that in mind.
Noel was a great host! He and his team were always super nice & helpful. We got great tips and Noel organized a Tuktuk driver for us. The breakfast was nice and we felt very welcome. The property is beautiful and the pool area is a nice hangout space.

IndiaIt's not super close to the bars/restaurants, but with their hospitality + boda boda/taxi, you don't notice it really.
Superb hospitality. Noel is extremely helpful and he gave us a ride into town and back whenever he could, which was often. The fact that it's a little ways away didn't bother us at all. The cottage was cosy, clean and spacious enough. Quiet too. Enjoyed the garden space and dining area. We are vegans, and the breakfast we got exceeded expectations, since they had to be creative just for us! A lot of thought went into that - thanks! Great value for money overall. We ended up extending our stay haha. Oh, and he helped organise our covid tests before our onward journey, which was super convenient.
