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.).

The property is set within beautiful surroundings and in close proximity to a stunning beach with a beach restaurant. The villas are private and relaxing. The food was incredible, we ate at the beach restaurant every day, and the staff were exceptional. Special shout out to Eva who taught us some Swahili and always welcomed us with a smile. They all made our stay so much more enjoyable.

ZimbabweWere so thoughtful to arrange supper on the day we arrived as it was very late at night and also packed breakfast since we had to catch an early flight back home. The room we had was not very conducive for me with some painting going on near the room as I am asthmatic and they upgraded us to another room which was more spacious. Very much appreciated the loving gesture. Staff were very helpful especially Brenda at the reception.

Our stay at Maisha was perfect! I could not recommend this hotel enough. Our room was exceptionally clean, we chose the room with the spa bath and it was beautiful with the balcony and jacuzzi over looking the swimming pool. The staff were very welcoming and did everything to make sure we had a fantastic stay. The beach bar was also beautiful and just a 1 minute walk from the hotel. Everything was perfect! I will definitely be back

SloveniaI urge you (I know you already are!) to be socially responsible and take for the cats, who come to beach/pool bar. Feed them, take care of them and show them love. Ignore some rare complaints of the guests. They are living creatures and they need you.❤️
I enjoyed my stay in Maisha Nungwi very much. The whole hotel is clean and offers a nice shadow in the daily heat. I especially enjoyed in two lovely pools beside hotel, where I had a relaxing time. I loved the location as well. The hotel is located near the beach in Nungwi, but it's still quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was delicious and I enjoyed it very much. The food at the beach bar (lunch and dinner) offers more variety of food than the one at the pool. The most amazing thing about Maisha is their staff. Because of them Maisha trully my home away from home. I hope the management will pass along my feedback to all. I am beyond grateful for their kindness and honest smile they gave me every day. I would like to thank them all. Especially to: Muba at the reception for his devotion and ability to listen, Brenda for the best massage (girl with magic hands and the biggest heart), Abu, Eva and Radjab at pool/beach bar. Because of you my stay with you was perfect. I felt really welcome here. Asante.🙏

Had a fantastic time here! Everything was super clean, and the location was perfect for a peaceful getaway. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. Plus, the beach restaurant was top-notch, even if a tad pricey. Definitely worth it for the amazing food and views! Would highly recommend for a relaxing vacation. P.S. Big thank you for the beach bar's staff as they made my birthday special.

United KingdomNothing! Just please be mindful it’s a boutique hotel so the AC and power systems are bad across the island. WiFi was perfect!
Manisha Nungwi was a paradise oasis! The staff were extremely helpful and so friendly. If you don’t mind a walk it’s easy to walk to the main beaches from the hotel but make sure you save time to relax and make the most of the hotel itself it’s worth your time to relax! All the guest we spoke to said they loved it! The food is great breakfast as perfect! And the beach bar is only a short walk but serves the best cocktails and dinner.

Germany- The first night we had 3 big cockroaches in our room, so we had to call the security guy to remove them. - When trying to eat, the cat never left from our table and it was begging for food and „miau-ing“ all the time. We could not really enjoy our meals as it felt like it was alsbald about to jump on us or our table.
- You feel like you are in a jungle because of all the plants - Room was great, spacious and clean (Jacuzzi Suite) - Food was great

GreeceAs a suggestion the breakfast area could expand or moved somewhere else, since half of the tables are under the sun making them uncomfortable to sit since it can get very hot (maybe upper area?). We did not have a fridge in the room which could be essential for water etc. you can store everything at the bar anyway but it would be easier if it was in the room. Please mind it is not in the Center of nungwi but 15 min by foot.
It is a tropical and modern hotel at the same time . The hotel has 2 different pools (with salt water also) which could fit all of the guests - towels were provided. The personal was nice and helpful and you could order a taxi or Tuk Tuk almost every time. Although the reception closes at nights, people are guarding the hotel giving the feeling of security. It is also only 2 min by walk from the sea and near to the beach bar where drinks and food was served. Also 2 min away are the aquariums. The breakfast was delicious with many healthy options. It is switching to buffet and al a carte every other day. We loved the fact that our room was cleaned everyday (bed new towels etc) and also sprayed for insects (none was found in room)

We visited Zanzibar for the first time and thanks to the hotel Maisha we experienced unforgettable holidays. We were very impressed by the delicious breakfast, it was something that we were looking forward to every day. We appreciate that our room was perfectly clean during our whole stay. At the hotel, there are two pools surrounded by beautiful landmarks. And the most important thing, the stuff was very helpful and attentive. We really felt at home here.
