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.).

United KingdomThere's nothing to dislike, maybe I'd call it something else as I can't say the name of it 🤣
Monica & Paris were fabulous ladies who greeted us every morning with smiles & laughs. The home is well equipped and has everything you need, drinking water provided too. The location is good, out the gate and a few minutes to the left is the beach & a few minutes to the right is the main road & a supermarket across the road. There's a guard at the gate all night. The shower is good & powerful. It's homely. I didn't take my photos but the pics on booking.com are realistic.

Czech RepublicWe returned to V-Szameitat Homes for the second time. The staff here is very pleasant, kind and helpful. The place is very quiet, a short walk from shops and restaurants on Diani Beach. It is only a 3 minute walk to the beach. We love monkeys in the garden. We are already looking forward to our next stay🥰

AustraliaAs a result of staying an extra night we had an extremely early start the next day to catch the 8am train from Mombasa to Nairobi, but it was worth it.
We had such a good time at Diani Beach that we stayed an extra night.

AustraliaWe had a little bit of trouble finding the place initially, Google maps sent us off the main road one street early.
Communication was easy - Viata kept in contact with us through WhatsApp, Faith and Rosemary ensured that we were well looked after and answered all our questions with friendly smiles, and Rosemary gave us a tour of the grounds and the beach when we arrived. The beach was a short walk along a walkway lined with bouganvillea, the pool and garden were lovely, breakfast was filling, we had plenty of bottled water, and we were also provided with food for dinner because we were originally arriving late at night. ATM, supermarket and restaurants conveniently across the road. Viata arranged a tour during our stay and a driver back to Mombasa. We couldn't access Mpesa so Viata helped us buy return train tickets to Nairobi. A lovely place to relax and unwind after a busy holiday.

FinlandThe pillows had definitely seen better days & an update is overdue. We would also have hoped we could swim after 6pm, so maybe pool hours could be an extended in the evening. My partner also noted that the manager only spoke to me, not him at all. For example, she shook my hand as goodbye but did not shake his or even say bye towards him.
Great value property at a very good location. Supermarket, restaurants & beach all a few min walk away. The apartment itself was comfortable and we enjoyed our short stay very much. We also slept well, felt safe and there were no disruptive sounds, even if in a central location. We would stay again.

KenyaNothing at all. It was excellent!
I loved how communicative the host was. The staff were so good and gracious to us. The daily breakfast was top notch. The location was just perfect. My only regret is they were not able to let us extend since there were other guests checking in. 10/10, would do it again in a heartbeat!

CanadaNothing i can think off really
The staff was very welcoming and friendly. On arrival Rosemary kindly received me and showed me to my room, around the facilities, and how to access the beach from the compound. Esther, the assistant manager was really the star of the show. She offered me delicious lunch 😋. She helped me out with how to navigate the local transportation to get to the Likono Ferry to Mombasa after check-out, even organized a TukTuk to come pick me up to take me to the local bus. She really went above and beyond The room was as advertised and clean, with Smart TV and internet access. Full kitchen and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is also brought to your toom 😊. I will stay here again on my next trip to Mombasa. Highly recommended.

New ZealandNothing, we liked everything. Just need to pay extra electricity if you use the aircon a lot, but it wasn’t a problem as is not expensive.
The whole place is really nice, the area is beautiful, nice garden with big swimming pool, just a few meters from the beach, supermarket and restaurants. Super clean house, big enough and very comfortable, with nice Smart tv, it has water dispenser and has everything you need for cooking. Fans and air cons works well, big living room and they provide daily breakfast. All staff is very nice and kind, the owner is very helpful, she helped us to arrange taxi and answered all our questions immediately. We will definitely come back!

Grate space, with a comfy coach, well-equipped kitchen and hot shower. Fast Wi-Fi and delicious breakfast. Nice common areas, like the pool. So near the beach!

BulgariaThe location is wonderful-5 minutes to the beach, supermarket and gift shops. The cottage is spacious with two bedrooms, large living room and kitchen equipped with everything you need including a water machine. The tasty breakfast (eggs and sausage, local pancakes, fruits, juice, milk) is served inside the room. A nice veranda with garden furniture and lots of naughty monkeys which amused us a lot. All the ladies taking care of the property are kind and helpful. Great place to stay and feel at home.

Czech RepublicWifi did not work as it should, frequent outages. Few sunbeds by the pool, none at all by the ocean. Very annoying vendors on the beach.
Excellent accommodation, clean, in a beautiful garden with a pool, guarded at night. Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff. The ocean was great, only the sunbeds were missing (both by the ocean and by the pool). The nearby supermarket is well stocked, as well as an outdoor stand with vegetables and fruit. Restaurants in the area with excellent food and drinks, everything is clean. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a pleasant background for safari and other trips.
