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.).

Czech RepublicIt is a very quiet, nice hotel, where you can relax to your heart's content. You can spend time on a sunbeds at the beach, at the pool or at the beach bar. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the warmth with which the staff always greets you. The food is delicious and the prices seem fair to me in terms of quality - price

BelgiumYou can only appreciate the beauty of this place even among the raindrops. The staff is always smiling, it's like the weather changes just by talking and having fun with them. I stayed in a room just two steps from the beach, spacious, clean and I was pleasantly surprised by the little animals made from towels by the girls who clean the room. All in all it was a pleasant stay, although in one part of the hotel I noticed that some pretty serious renovation work is being done to the rooms, but that can only be for the benefit of future guests in the end, so it's still a positive aspect. It's vacation, it's Zanzibar, we have to be positive

AustraliaTo be honest since I arrived 1 day late, I was denied a 1 day refund which I feel is not fair on me as this was out of my control and due to dubai floods and flight delays for 20 hours. I was given food which was lunch but during my stay I never ate dinner even though I paid full board. Thats just abit off putting. I left on 22nd of April but I paid up till the 23rd of April. Technically I over paid my stay and out of human consideration I should be provided a refund at least.
Hidden gem of Zanzibar. Loved my stay. Staff are so understanding and very friendly. Due to the dubai floods I lost 1 day so the staff were understanding and did not cancel my booking but since I arrived 1 day late and left a day earlish I should be given 1 day refund.

AustraliaThe resort is very nice and very clean. The yard is very neat, with many palm trees and exotic vegetation. In the back there are 2 pools, one of which is for children and in front, very close to the beach, there is another pool. All are very clean and well maintained. The food was delicious, the beach special, the cleanliness in the rooms was exemplary. We got help with tours and airport transfer. Everything was beyond our expectations. We would love to come back anytime

South AfricaI arrived here by chance, but I would have liked to stay permanently. It's a wonderful place where wonderful people cook. The hotel is located right on the beach which is very wide and has security, the rooms are very cute, like a fairy tale, they are very clean, they have AC, safe, hairdryer, kettle and mosquito nets around the bed. The pools are very well maintained and the vegetation in the yard makes you really feel like you are in Africa. The breakfast is very varied, you have several options to choose from and the food is sensational. I recommend and will definitely come back here

AustraliaIt is a wonderful location. It's very nice to wake up and have the beach as soon as you get off the room's terrace. The place is managed and maintained by some wonderful people and I'm talking about both the manager and the staff here. The rooms are clean and properly equipped, they have mosquito nets both on the windows and around the bed. The yard is gorgeous and the private beach is clean and wide. When it's low tide, a sand island appears in front of the hotel where you stand in water up to your ankles and take pictures as if you were in the middle of the ocean. The food is extremely tasty and the prices seem fair to me, value for money

GermanyEverything there is absolutely wonderful, it's like in a beautiful story, it's something from a fairy tale. Surely in this resort you can only go and relax and feel good. The staff exuded so much good energy that it was impossible not to feel comfortable around them. The food is one of the strong points of the resort, we ate the best seafood and the most delicious fruits and desserts. The beach area where the sunbeds are located is always clean and very well maintained. Being an area with low tide and high tide, the water recedes quite a bit in the morning, however, the resort has 2 pools where you can cool off. Both pools are cleaned every evening and every morning. If I could, I would like to live here every day.

SwedenIt is a resort that offers a combination between the charm of the place and comfort. Everything is located near the beach, near the ocean, and the cottages have a special charm. The staff surround you with all the warmth of their souls and with friendly smiles The vegetation in the yard, the well-kept swimming pools, the beach with white, clean sand, the sunbeds next to the blue water, everything perfectly completes the holiday atmosphere. The food is delicious, varied, always fresh. The rooms are clean, spacious and equipped with absolutely everything you need.

French GuianaI think it is one of the most welcoming locations in Zanzibar and I spent some time on this island in different hotels around Zanzibar. First of all, the quality-price ratio is very good. At Mambo you have almost everything you need for a quiet vacation: good food, nice staff, cleanliness, beach, pool, nature.... I highly recommend Mambo Ocean Resort.
