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.).

CanadaBad welcome. We were asked to pay our stay upfront without showing us our rooms. We also had to carry all our luggage ourselves.
Very good location. Between 2 beaches, plenty of restaurants around and things to do.

United KingdomMaintenance and housekeeping needs improving. It should not be up to guests to point out damage or loose fitting to management, that should be rectified by regular inspections.
This was my sixth time at Amman, and to see how much it has increased in size is astonishing. The location is excellent and there is no end of activities to participate in. It was pleasing to hear that the older parts are soon to be demolished, they do show their age, and newer accommodation erected.

TanzaniaIt was a bit strange there were not many options for payment, like cash or payment by mobile wallet. There were also not helpful at the restaurant solving a problem about this for you. That was really bad service.
I liked that it is right on the beach with the most beautiful view over the terrace, where I loved eating, reading my book and just having my drink.

SwedenIf you like larger hotels and more people this is a good choice. If you went to Zanzibar to get a bit of solitude or local atmosphere this is not the optimal hotel.
View from restaurant great, aircon working well. Close to all the restaurants on the beach.

NorwayVery low water pressure in the shower. The maintenance didn't have the best working conditions to do a proper job. The people in charge, the assisting director, should be ware of his responsibility. We had to wait two days to have the AC fixed, but then we got a brand new one. And they didn't have gasolin in the generator when the power went out one night. We waited for hours to get it going, and the AC to work again. And this is absolutely not the staffs responsibility. They can't do a thing when these situations happens, just send a message to the one who's responsible.
We where four ladies travelling together and we had the best two rooms, with a view to the Nungwi Beach. The housekeeping was exelent, and send a special thank you to the sweet lady Agnes. A nice breakfast was included, and we also had lunch and dinner at the restaurant several days. The food could have been a littel bit more spicy, but I guess it messures the guests requests. We also had a drink at the bar in the restaurant.

Hotel directly on the beach with lot of shedow,with excellent breakfast on the terrace. The rooms could be better maintained, during our stay we had to change rooms at night because the air conditioner did not work. Friendly staff and the manager who provided us with a taxi as a sign of apology.. But in a future we will stay here again

SpainThe only disappointing aspect of the trip was not of the fault of the hotel. We were hounded by street sellers whenever we entered the beach which was not relaxing. However, this was not the fault of the hotel and is instead part of the culture. Just something to consider prior to travel.
The hotel was located in a great tourist spot to take advantage of excursions. The staff were friendly. The room was spacious and clean. The bar and restaurant had great views of the ocean.

QatarThe only negative is that I bought a pineapple on the beach and asked restaurant staff to peel and cut for me and they refused as per restaurant policy this is not allowed. I've stayed several times in Nungwi in different hotels and this is the first time they don't do this for me. Not a bid deal but I'd recommend to reconsider this for customer's satisfaction.
Excellent location in Nungwi and right in from of ht beach, beautiful view. Comfortable bedroom. Didn't try food at the restaurant because it's near to local places.

United KingdomWe booked at late notice and it was the weekend of the full moon party, so perhaps the price was inflated compared to usual, but it didn't feel like good value for money. The food in the restaurant was okay but not great, so again not sure about value for money compared to other local restaurants.
Everything was fine - nothing great but certainly nothing terrible either. It felt like a bit of a stereotypical all-inclusive resort with all facilities as you'd expect but not much character or personality. There's good access to the beach and it's in a good location for accessing Nungwi and popular nearby bars and restaurants.

United KingdomThe view. we booked very last minute - on the day, so did not expect a great room . However the view from the front of our room was overlooking another row of rooms and from the back a run down derelict building. The bench outside was broken. Many of the rooms didn’t appear full so I’m not sure why we were given this one. Breakfast seemed expensive and the dollar exchange rate was lower than everywhere else we had been in Tanzania
