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.).

BulgariaThe owners Nana and Haluk are very nice and try to satisfy your every need. Satisfied with the staff, the cleaning and the food in the restaurant. We did a big tour of the island from the hotel and it was an unforgettable experience and good memories. Thank you and good luck for the future!

RomaniaOur stay at Carpe Diem was exactly what we wanted, thanks to the very nice and friendly owners - Haluk and Nana. They provided us with the most important information, advice, and even suggestions on how to make the most of our time there, all at affordable prices. They also advised us on how to interact with the locals and how to select the tour offers that are truly worthwhile. This was the best service we could have received. The room was very spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the breakfast/meals were delicious. The terrace is the perfect place to retreat from the sun when you need a break and a coffee/cold beer. 😊 We are very grateful that we met Haluk and Nana, who were available at any time for any request or discussion. We highly recommend Carpe Diem. Thank you very much, Haluk and Nana, for everything! 🤗

ChinaWhile my room was nice, it had a mold issue, and the toilet in the bathroom needs fixing. It would be beneficial to have the room cleaned on a daily basis.
The owners are attentive and welcoming. The place features a small cozy yard, proximity to the beach, daily breakfast, a fan and WiFi.

United KingdomIf you want Beachfront it’s not this but it’s only a few mins walk from the Beach. I wasn’t looking for this so to be in the village was fine.
It’s simple comforts, when you arrive in a new country a warm welcome and comfortable surroundings is exactly what you receive here.

United KingdomIts a shame I wasn't able to spend more than 8 days as I would want to stay longer next time with Haluk and Nana and the team but sadly work calls. So nothing I didnt like about my booking.
Haluk and Nana were amazing hosts who took really good care of me on my first solo trip. Haluk took me around Nungwi and introduced me to locals and facilities as well as sharing facts and tips about my stay in zanzibar. The staff were friendly and food was great.

There were also 5 kitten and their mother, it was great fun to watch them run around and play together! We would recommend this place to everyone going to Nungwi!

Carpe Diem is the place to stay in nungwi. Haluk and Nana are just amazing hosts! We got so many tips and help for our stay, it was super friendly of them. Also the place is really perfect, the rooms are big and clean. We also had dinner and the aubergine salad is really tasty as well as the avocado juice! Last but not least, Haluk helped us to find a good transportation to the other side of the island. Everyone is so friendly at Carpe Diem.

TurkeyThe hotel is very close to the beach, zoo, aquarium and restaurants. The owners of the facility, Haluk and Nana are very friendly and nice people. Haluk showed us around, gave us a tour at the beach and arranged a snorkeling tour for us. Nana assisted my wife to buy some souvenirs. My little daughter became sick and they were very helpful to make her get well. The rooms are clean. The hotel staff are welcoming and smile all the time. I can't wait to revisit the facility.

FranceThe place is very cute and amazing value for money. It's also super close to the beach. Haluk was amazingly helpful in showing us around the neighborhood, sharing tips on do's/don'ts, and arranging (sometimes literally walking us!) to the activities like swimming with turtles and going dolphin spotting. Highly recommend if you're looking for an affordable, comfy and friendly stay!

United KingdomBe aware the rooster can be quite loud in the morning so you may want to wear earplugs. 😊
We stayed at Carpe Diem for nearly two weeks and it was a home away from home. Delicious breakfast, very good WiFi, reasonably priced beers, friendly owners and entertaining pets. It's in a quieter part of town but we liked that, and it's just a short walk to the beach.
