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.).

Russianot all rooms have a “sea view” though it’s written in description. It was my filter for searching a place but finally I had a construction site view. regards other positive moments had smoothed it.
convenient location close to perfect beach area (just about 5-10 minutes) with no long low tides distance. very polite and helpful staff. there are disco nights. as for me it’s an advantage. it may be too noisy for some people - I had so active days that even loud music didn’t disturb me during the night. if you have a sensitive sleep earplugs could help. there is a bar from the same owner at the beach line with several sun beds and umbrellas - for hotel guests is a special price for rent. very convenient (but it could be better to provide its renting for free 🙂)

ArgentinaAt night it is too dark to walk around alone. The sea view is too far. It is not front beach. It is 80-100 mts from the beach.
Nice room, double balcony, all is new and working properly. Clean place at the rooms. Friendly workers.

United KingdomNo full English breakfast as stated in the details, only option is fresh fruit and eggs which were nice - they should correct the hotel details.. The hotel is really a club with rooms, very quiet and isolated when it’s not club night. Most restaurants and hotels to get out and be around other people are along the beach which isn’t safe to walk along after dark.
Excellent value for money, our room was lovely, super clean with a great view of the sea from our top floor. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff - very friendly and welcoming. amazing club on Sunday and Wednesday - very loud music until 4am and floods with people but the hotel make sure you’re aware of it before you come

RomaniaRoom is quite hot with no AC. It can be a challenge when it's extremely hot. The fan is helpful though. No fridge in the rooms.
It's a lovely colorful place and my room had a great style and terrace..perfect for reading and relaxing. Very clean overall. The staff is great and very helpful, very friendly and all speak English very well. The owners are also amazing and I really reccomend the place. It's quite easy to get to the town center and the beach area. I felt safe in the area even in the night. Cocco Beach bar is also a must! Good vibes and good music, close to the hotel. Prices are fair for food, and the food is delicious. The Coccobello parties are great! Good value for money. I would return.

United Arab EmiratesThe breakfast was listed as full English/Irish breakfast on booking.com but the breakfast was omelette and fruit every day which is, in fact, normal in Zanzibar. The fruits and the juice were great as well service though. We had Masaii men leaning against our room talking in loud voices and whipping something. It was uncomfortable as I don't think they worked there so not sure why they are there hanging around. They did move when after an hour we had enough of being unable to hear our movie on our laptop and asked if they could move somewhere else.
We loved the owners. They were welcoming,interesting and fantastic. They gave us good advice about the PCR tests and local entertainment. Ezekiel was also fantastic,going above and beyond to help us out as well and checking on how we were getting on. I loved the decorations throughout the room and the entire building. It was amazing,quirky,bright with great array of tiles and plates. It had hammocks as well as different bar areas,sitting areas so it was great. The vibe was great. The room was spacious and we loved the hot water and amazing shower. There were toiletries too. We also liked the lamps and lots of mirrors! The room is so gorgeous. We loved the party soooo much. It was amazing and lots of fun! They even had professional dancers there as well as DJs and great prices for cocktails and drinks. A party at Coccobello is a must if you are staying in Nungwi or Kendwa. They are a great mix of local and tourists which was just lovely to dance with people from all over Wifi was available in all areas including the rooms and it is strong. The beach that is right next to Coccobello is the best beach in Nungwi. It is extremely beautiful and quieter than the other beaches. You can walk along the beach to the next beaches,bars and restaurants as well at night and day. Therefore, I loved the location as well. Coccobello was actually the highlight of our trip around Zanzibar.

NetherlandsThe first impact on the beach will be for sure a bit annoying because you'll be surrounded by Beach Boys that they will try to sell you gadgets, tours, excursions ecc. (not only in Nungwi but in general) But dont worry about it, just be friendly saying you're not interested and they will move to others tourists.
A colourful spot surrounded by nature really close to Nungwi beach, 7 min walking (where you'll find also a private Beach-Bar called "Cocco Beach "where u can listen good music, chill an meet new people around the world) Staff super friendly always smiling and ready to help you in case u need it. Owners Nicole and Tommy as well, cool and super friendly since the day arrived in Coccobello. About Room same, colourful, fresh (specially during the night, an clean. (You'll have also Cleaner sevice every day) One of the best experience of my life.
