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.).

BahrainThe food was very good, but the variety at the dinner buffet can be improved. The pool was clean, but some of the tiles should be maintained/replaced soon.
The friendliness of the staff. The rooms were very spacious. All staff were welcoming and professional. The stretch of beach was beautiful. I believe it’s one of the best beaches on the island.

United Arab EmiratesThere was some construction next to the resort which was a bit disturbing. The WiFi wasn't great and was down for a day or so. The bathtub wasn't functioning 100% and there was a noise coming from the A/C while it was on. The coffee wasn't good at all!
The resort was a fantastic experience. All staff were friendly and welcoming and very helpful. The beach and pool area is amazing and our room was spacious and had an amazing shower! There was lots of variety in the food and each dinner had a different theme. It was a nice stay and definitely recommend Gold Zanzibar Beach House and Spa.

United Arab EmiratesService could have been better, it’s a bit slow, but I think that’s everywhere in Zanzibar, they’re very laid back, also I didn’t understand how room service isn’t 24 hours, at 11:00pm there was nothing to eat or order.
The resort is just beautiful, only it’s too calm, it’s best if you’re looking for a total relaxation, rooms are very nice and well designed, very spacious and clean, food at the breakfast and dinner was very good with a wide variety, drinks were good too, however cocktails were expensive, staff was very friendly and attentive, also the spa is very good and massage was excellent

United KingdomIf I was looking for one point of constructive criticism it would be that the standard of the dessert did not match the rest of the meal
Stayed 5 nights at the resort. Everything was excellent from the location, beach, pool to the room, food and service from the staff. Meals were a la carte (as I believe no buffet due to covid/small number of guests), and everything served to us was exceptional. Staff always available to help with anything and attentive to all needs and requests, and always friendly.

United Arab EmiratesThere were things missing in the room such as hairdryer and toothbrushes and sleepers, this should be a basics :) the staff needs to pay more attention to the guests, and to remember guest name and his room number to look more professional . Covid tests facility should be available at the hotel itself .
It’s very clean and food was delicious compare to the price .

Saudi Arabiathis is no 5 stars , NO WAY! this is sold as a 5 stars SCAM. what a waist of money! very outdated hotel, rooms are below 4 star hotels I have visited. however; I have never encountered so many unprofessional & poorly trained staff at one place. the receptionists were a disaster at the check in. they made us feel like aliens because our cards didn’t worked while they worked everywhere else. an awkward silence and lot of awkward stare they sure don’t have the skills to make a client feel well received at these kind of situations. we had to suggest ourselves to go have dinner since we came there from a long drive and was 30 min before dinner ends. which they looked at eachother to agree. Mr Jackson at reception is terrible at communication and comes off as rude. when finally released to have dinner we had one plate of food them turned around to see them already packing 10min before time and before asking if we were finished, matter fact I had to explain to the waitress that my soup was cold and that’s why I wanted it warmer, I was waiting for it to bring it but she forgot since she was too busy focused to end her shift. A nice location can be an add to a stay but to abuse it for bad service, money hungry management and badly trained staff NO. we will NOT be coming back. thank god
the location to some extend, but I wouldn’t return just for that.

United KingdomThe rooms are very odd, and although the bed was comfortable enough, the layout was strange and dysfunctional. The gym is really poor. Hotels that cost this much in closed season should invest in a proper gym. It is hardly surprising they have very few pictures of it on their website. The price of drinks is scandalous. Don’t bother. Walk 100m on the beach to the hotel next door where you can buy drinks at an almost reasonable price.
Good pool. That’s about it.

Saudi Arabiathey asked me to pay extra for one person even though the big villa i booked had 2 rooms and accommodated from 2-4 people and we were 3. the gold restaurant food was REALLY bad. the kalimanjaro hotel was nice, not bad food. the pool service was slow, we waited 40 mins for 2 pineapple juices. we found a huge spider web under the sink. overall, the stay wasn’t worth the money we paid at all.
