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 KingdomCan't think of anything significant
There are individual huts or cabins, each with its own place to sit outside in the shade, wìth a comfortable and well furnished interior. The service was very good indeed, as was the food. A walk through the mangroves at low tide to the sea is also thoroughly recommended, as is a visit to Pangani and the market.

United KingdomBe prepared for power black outs, water may or may not be hot, just take it in your stride.
A most idyllic spot. You wake to the ocean sounds on the nearby Mangrove beach and sunsets to make your soul sing. The food was delicious. We bought a fish from the fisherman on the beach and the owner cooked it for us sealed in salt. They have a wood fired pizza oven, so the pizzas tasted great. They knocked down a babaeo fruit for me to taste from their tree,then made it into a wonderful juice. The staff just made you feel like long lost family. We arrived by public bus from Tanga. You can be dropped off outside the gate rather than continuing to Pangani 8km further on. The road is still under construction,so be prepared. There is no swimming beach here, but we were taken on a great Mangrove walk at low tide. The tented accommodation was spacious and comfortable. It does get dark at night so our torches helped .

NetherlandsThe staff was really amazing! We've had a very long drive the day we arrived and were really tired and hungry. The staff and owner (Francesco) helped us with our bags and made an amazing fresh seafood pizza. Our plan was to stay for one night but we immediately changed our plan to stay longer! The next day we wanted to go to Pangani, two members of the staff (Vivienne and Samuel) went with us, showed us around and we had a great lunch in the new restaurant of the same owner, the Pahe! The restaurant and the resort where both a very beautiful mix of Swahili and Italian atmosphere and had an eye for detail. We again thank the whole crew of Bahari Pori and wish them good luck with the new restaurant!

The location, the well crafted traditional design of the bandas, but above everything the staff. Francesco and his team were all friendly and professional, the service was spotless and everything was very well organised. We also booked some nice day trips and worth mentioning as well that the pizzas were excellent.

United KingdomAbsolutely lovely little place to stay on the Pangani coast. The scenery is beautiful, the ‘tents’ are very comfortable and wonderfully equipped and the staff are all friendly and helpful. The food from the restaurant is delicious, with proper Italian pizza. The owner Francesco is a lovely man and a wonderful host who organised a river tour on the Pangani for us. I would definitely recommend staying at Bahari Pori.

ColombiaThe personal service offered to us and attention to detail were amazing. We were given a lunch that was not on the menu and after I commented that I loved pineapple juice Francesco made sure I had it (fresh and homemade) in the morning with breakfast. He personally took us on a tour of Pangani and the staff took us on a lovely tour of the reef, both visits were complimentary and lovely. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind and friendly.

Germany- WiFi only in the lobby and after request - bumpy road from Tango to Pangani (will hopefully finished in a few years, than it will be easily and quicker accessible) - I expected more rooms (for the two separate beds)
- perfect welcome and services during the whole stay - offered free excursions to Pangani and the riff, free usage of kayaks (2 are available) - relaxing surroundings - great atmosphere of breakfast location and of dinner location - tasty food (prices expensive for the country but medium cheap for Europeans) - mosquito nets above the beds - location with direct exit to the beach - mangroves - riff - help in finding connecting transport (they also stopped the bus for us so we could wait in the lobby)
