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 first night we had to wait for dstv to be paid for the next day… this was a bit off for us, we thought all facilities should be working on arrival.
The owner was quick to respond to any queries, and help incase we were stuck. The rooms had good A/c and comfortable beds, the kids liked them so much. They also had a chef on request, and prepares good breakfast. This was so convinient. Amazing staffs, and very helpful Benta, she is a lovely host.

ItalyAll was well till the next day after I'd checked out I realised I'd left my sunglasses in my room. I called and asked one of the staff but his answer was a bit evessive which game me a clue that he knew what I was talking about.....he tells me that he's gonna check and is calling me back....he didn't and decided to go back there. The same guy answered the gate and told me they don't have the glasses but will continue looking. To me that's the only low point I can point on....it broke my heart.
The staff are friendly and always available to help when need comes

There is a variety of birdlife for those who are comfortable with exotic birds. 3. The owner is courteous. 4. The Chef is great! Passionate about his job and wants you to indulge and be happy in his swahili cuisine.

KenyaNothing really to complain about. Only a slight inconvenience: during booking, it was presented that our 5 year old would sleep for free on a bed provided but the room didn't have an extra bed, just a baby's cost. However, on request we were provided with a mattress and bedding.
Staff are very friendly, place is kept clean, room is comfortable. We loved it and plan to visit again!

KenyaI did not like how we spent a whole day without power, there was a low voltage situation in the main house. I think maybe you can invest in a backup generator for such cases. The flies are too much. It became difficult to enjoy a meal by the dining table without flies flocking the whole area, I would suggest flies repellant plants like rosemary or some essential oils around the tables.
I liked the kitchen, the staff, and the environment there is very cool. The amazing pool, I give a 10 because it is clean and well maintained. Sometimes my family chose to swim there over going to the beach.
