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.).

SlovakiaLittle bit dirty outside of the resort - rubbish and ruins... But this is every day reality of Zanzibar.
Little comfortable resort with maximum use of space. Very enjoyed the food here and also evening relax with music in the outside swimming pool. Very pleasant atmosphere and helpful staff. You can run here along to the long beach. When the sea cooperates, it can be more than 10 kilometers :)

PolandGround floor rooms are a bit dark.
Located right by the beach, Chikachika is an excellent value for money option. Rooms are simple yet very comfortable. We really liked the pool. It is very convenient that Café Dodoki with wide selection of tasty meals is located at the property so no need to go far when hungry. The staff was nice, Tony was always ready to help and even surprised us with complimentary fish dinner.

SwitzerlandThere were electricity outage at times and it could be very hot when there's no fan or aircondition. Bf wasn't great. Some staffs are friendly and some are not. Rooms are quite small so it's a bit expensive for the price that we paid.
Very close to the beach. The area was very quiet and close to everything. Very clean as well.

BelgiumMay be a bit far from the center of Nungwi and Nungwi beach and restaurants but on the other hand on the quiet part of the beach which is worth a lot. Not really on the beach but at 15 meters. In the evening we needed a taxi for going to the restos but staying at the B&B restaurant is also a perfect option
The staff and Tony! , the pool, the room, the quiet location. All the smiles 🌞😃

I'm delighted. Staff were very friendly and helpful, room was clean and tidy, food in restaurant delicious, if you want to go for some trip just ask everything will be organised. Bed very comfortable. If I wanted to eat red snapper it was ordered from local fisherman and next day I had fresh delicious dinner. I felt like family member not like an stranger. I'm absolutely happy that I stayed in Chikachika beach B&B. Maybe one day I'll return there 🙂

the people that are working at ChikaChika are one of a kind. They are friendly, kind, and took care of our daughter as if she was a friend‘s child. Food is very delicious and the portion is very generous. You can also book tours and transfers directly with ChikaChika, we made the mistake of booking a few things months before booking the hotel. However, we booked pne tour with them and it was great.

South AfricaOur room had a slight damp smell when we arrived but after leaving the windows open for a few hours it cleared up. Mosquito nets looked like they might be a bit past their prime but they worked fine and Zanzibar is not a malaria nor mosquito hotspot anyway.
Fantastic accommodation. 50m from the sea without paying the premium for the sea view. The on-site restaurant and bar were both great. The rooms were big and the airconditioner worked well. Your host, Tony, and all other staff members were very friendly and helpful with any activities we wanted to organise. The accommodation has a very relaxed atmosphere without a compromise on quality. Nungwi beach is a very popular tourist destination. The east side of Nungwi is the main beach and is mostly very large resorts and hotels. Balcony house is slightly removed from this, which my partner and I were very grateful for. It does mean that if you're looking to partake in some more touristy activities or to eat at the resort restaurants, you need to be willing to walk a kilometer or two up the beach. My partner and I spent most of our time just walking on the beach and swimming in the sea and so appreciated being away from the tourist rush. That being said, that side of Nungwi is definitely in the process of being developed so may itself be a touristy area in the near future. All considered - if I return to Zanzibar I would 100% stay here again!!
