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.).

CanadaNo complaints. Location is not great, but I don't believe that there is an ideal location in Moshi, unfortunately. And the hotel staff does their best trying to keep the immediate surroundings acceptable. Really, no complaints.
Outstanding facility. All the staff members were extremely nice and thoughtful, and always seemed genuinely happy to help. The hotel is well kept in general, and my room was kept sparkling clean throughout my stay. The breakfast was great, and their room service was excellent with a reasonble amount of options. I used their shuttle from the airport, and that was also excellent. Another nice point is that they kept an open communication channel since my reservation, checking about my arrival time so that the driver would be there on time, checking on the day of my arrival to let me know that the driver was already there... Small issues that go a long way. Caring customer service is rare to find. (The goodnight cookies that they brought to the room were also a very nice touch) If you compare prices in town, this is probably a somewhat more expensive facility, but it is 100% worth every single penny.

The food and service were fantastic! What a great breakfast buffet. Everyone is so kind and ready to do whatever they can to make sure you have the most pleasant stay. They even have a rooftop bar where you can have a drink in the afternoon and see Kilimandjaro.

United StatesBreakfast was extensive - lots of hot and cold options, but local and western style. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Wifi was strong enough to stream videos and make video calls for work. Apart for a few brief (1-2 minute) power outtages one day (stayed for 4) of my stay, wifi was flawless. Aircon worked really well and consistently. Staff were very friendly and polite. Restaurant was really delicious (the Fish curry - amazing!). Hotel is walking distance (~10-15 mins) to good restaurants and souvenir shops. Loved my stay.

United StatesNo good movie or sports channels in the room. Have to go to the bar to watch football. Even lower priced hotels have movie and sports channels in the room. We choose this property for a comfortable place to relax after working all day and wanted to watch the TV. Not possible. Only Swahili news.
Good a/c that worked in the room all the time. No power cuts. Hot water. Comfortable beds. Great staff that was super kind.

United StatesCons: - Regular water wasn't among the drinks of the breakfast buffet. Instead, they offered detox water (with cucumber and lemon). And when we asked for water, we were charged for it! We spoke to the manager about it, so they offered regular water on the following day. But they still charged us for that water upon check out despite discussing the issue with them and that regular still water should be a standard drink in all buffets. - The receptionist who checked us in miscalculated our stay for 2 nights instead of 3. So, we were surprised that we had to pay for an extra night upon check out. - They charge 3% on credit card payments. So, if you want to avoid that, you may bring the payment in cash (US dollars). - The rooftop restaurant isn't accessible by elevator. You'd have to go to the 7th floor, then climb the stairs to the restaurant that's on the 8th floor. Hence, this isn't handicap-friendly. Older people or those with knee issues may find it a bit challenging to do the stairs. Hence, they may benefit from the room service. - To have room service, there's a delivery fee (they call it room service fee)! This is the first time I see such a fee! We typically just pay for the food. Because of that, we didn't tip the person who delivered the food, which we usually do in other hotels. - The balcony is kinda tight and there are no chairs. It could fit the desk chair if placed horizontally though. - There's no gym.
I really wanted to rate it with 10 until a few things happened. Pros: - Very clean rooms. There's a safe, slippers, and a water heater. There's no fridge, but we asked for one that was delivered to our room. There are USB slots on the power outlets. - The mountain view is nice. Even if you get the city view, you'd enjoy seeing the green scenery of the green farms. - Friendly staff. - The breakfast options are excellent (compared to other similar hotels in Tanzania). But don't expect cheese or spreads. There's an egg live station. The breakfast restaurant is on the 1st floor (accessible by elevator). - The rooftop restaurant (opens 3-11 pm for lunch and dinner) offers a nice view of the mountains. They also serve delicious food in generous portions. If you like soup, make sure to ask about the soup of the day. They usually offer an off menu soup. - Very good price for the stay that included breakfast. - It's in the heart of Moshi town, so you're close to local retail stores. - The reception is available on WhatsApp (the same phone number of the hotel). They can also call a taxi for you since Uber and Bolt aren't available. - I liked the biscuits giveaway every evening. The kids loved it!
