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 location on Google maps is /was quite misleading It took us about half an hour to find the location 😩but we finally did. Being a lady, finding no big mirror in the rooms was disappointing but the ones available just worked fine.
The birds chirping and the quiet was so relaxing .We enjoyed our 3-night and 4 days stay at zazu maisha resort it's everything we saw on the website and more,the clean swimming pool was so amazing to swim anytime of day,the rooms and bathroom being cleaned on daily was just amaizing the staff checking in all through if we needed anything was a plus.How lovely that I didn't go back home with dirty laundry since the staff made sure to clean those for us everyday😊

GermanyThe short road from the main road to the property can be a bit dark when heading back to the property at night. Not sure if ladies would FEEL safe..(though Watamu is very safe). Plus when it rains the road to the property can get a lot of pools/ponds of water. Pretty sure this is going to be fixed SOMETIME in the future.
Everything….the tranquility. I felt super secure.

KenyaA great stay here. The surrounding is so beautiful and peaceful and it is really a good value for the money. Had some minor issues with the construction going on next to the resort but in the end it was still ok. Hope to return many more times!

Czech RepublicI don't like the fact that I don't own this place. :)
Everything from the beginning to the end was flawless. Smooth communication with the owners, Jessica and Nikola, transfer from Malindi airport to the resort, and check-in. The staff is very polite; the manager Silvia has been incredibly helpful and always professional. The apartment was super clean, solid wifi, air-conditioning and hot water present, good breakfasts. I highly recommend hiring the chef for dinner - they really know how to make delicious food of your choice, and it's very affordable.

NigeriaThe location was a bit difficult to find but I think it's because we didn't reach out to the property before showing up
We loved everything, the view was beautiful, it was serene and quiet (the perfect getaway). Our stay was nothing short of beautiful and intimate, we had the time of our lives The staff was really nice the entire time :)
