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.).

KenyaThe beach is a bit far from the residence and is unsafe during late evenings and at night time. There are some bushes between the hotel and public beach hence the insecurity. The ocean water is at the brownish in colour due to a nearby river estuary.
Spacious and well air-conditioned rooms. Friendly ground staff (not management). Multiple swimming pools.

KenyaFor us it was perfect. just what was needed for a restful mini-break after a busy festive season. (it should be noted for those not familiar with this area, the hotel is on the beach which is rugged and the shoreline is some distance across the dunes )
spacious gardens, private , 2 lovely swimming pools with sun loungers , large furnished terrace. Great location for exploring Malindi. As most of the apartments in the hotel are taken up by residential long stay guests who don’t use all the facilities there is a calming peaceful atmosphere.

Kenyathe stuff wasn’t prompt or well aware what’s going on, the place could be more clean! the electricity went off for 3 hours and the generator they had barely supported the lights! so no AC or fan for that long, sleeping was quite hard and annoying and they didn’t seem to care honestly when we mentioned it.
The scenery, this place is well surrounded by nature, it’s massive which gives it more lux vibes, stunning swimming pool at the entrance, perfect suites size, the decor is dreamy in the suites we stayed at.

UgandaBreakfast was very very poor and service was extremely slow, albeit the lady was very friendly and pleasant all through. The beds in apartment 208 were extremely creaky and the matresses were awful, I had a back ache all through my stay. The beds on the lower floor in 108 were great. Cleanliness is next to Godliness and the rooms and verandah’s could have been cleaner.
The property is centrally located and is very close to major landmarks. The rooms are big and well furnished. The swimming pools and gardens are clean and well maintained with courteous staff. Lunch offerings are lovely and the Coconut Prawn Curry is something else, highly recommend. Anthony and Hellen take the crown when it comes to excellent service and customer care; the beach is a bit of a walk but when you get to it, it is very clean though it appears to be a part of the Bermuda Triangle where all vessels choose to get stranded, quite eerie. The welcome drink and check in process was great…

ItalyService not much organized (reception, breakfast attendants, room service). All thing improvable and that is why we point it out here to show also that the management had quick response when involved: 1- I received an upgrade very welcoming, but the room wasn't assessed prior to assign it, so we had issues with the AC for three nights out of five. Effort was quickly done by directors only when I called them after notified to reception for three days. Hence reception and internal communication not the best. 2- By the second day until 4th day there weren't enough dishes to collect the breakfast offered. Yogurt under the sun without ice. On 5th day there was an improvement. 3- there was a great hot and humidity during my stay. No chance to dry the room towels quickly, but the towels have been not changed until the third day and when requested, the answer was that they changed after 3 days only. It should be evaluated also the weather situation for hygiene purposes, as there is no chance to dry it. I imagine for those staying longer.
garden, swimming pools, room was great, wide. nice the idea of the chess field near the swimming pool.
