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.).

GermanyI stayed here for the duration of my internship at a school in Moshi and the whole experience would not have been half as good if I had stayed anywhere else. Darlie and her team made my stay absolutely wonderful and special. The whole team is like a little family that they made me feel part of for a little while. First of all, the rooms and bathroom were always clean, breakfast was tasty end even though I sometimes could first eat breakfast around noon, they always made it possible. Everyone was always very friendly and helpful and I generally just felt at home here. If I needed help with anything like organising a trip for the weekend, or just need help with a doctors appointment – Darlie was always ready to help, get good and fair prices and never made me feel like a burden for asking. And if it wasn't her directly, someone else from the team was always available. They even took the time to show me around town or come with me if I was looking for something specific which I didn‘t know where to get. Other than that I loved all the rooms and you can really see all the effort that is being made to ensure every guest has a wonderful stay. I really did not want to leave and if I could have, I would have stayed so much longer!

CanadaAmazing stay! Everything was more than perfect. It is well located, clean, calm and peaceful. The host arranged my transportation from airport to the accommodation without any problems. The breakfast is delicious. They can help you order from other near by restaurants for lunch and dinner. The host is amazing, sweet, will give you advice on anything and check if you are ok everyday. It was really helpful for me to first arrive here as a female traveler and always felt safe. I will be back. Thank you so much for making this stay wonderful

Dee is an exceptional host! Felt welcomed and at home from the minute we arrived. She creates a very warm atmosphere where we felt comfortable chilling in the common areas. She helped us arrange transport and a village walking tour! We were sad to leave so soon. Comfy room with a good fan. All parts of the house were very clean and the garden is gorgeous. We had home-cooked dinner here one night and it blew us away and was very romantic with candlelight in the garden. Dee has a great community in town as well!

That was fantastic ) We were staying in the room with private bathroom. the room had all we needed (toiletries etc, towels..). The room itself was not big, but it was comfortable for 2 people. The bed was very comfy, we slept well). I liked that area was quiet and green. There are nice cafes and restaurants close by, with tasty food and reasonable prices. whenever you need a taxi to city center, the host can arrange a tuk-tuk or a car.

Wooow, our stay was made fantastic because of our host Dee. She made us feel so at home, we had a very warm welcome. Our room was sooo beautifully decorated because of our honeymoon with rose petals, even delicious champagne and a self made small painting!! During our stay she went into town with us, arranged a small town tour, we even played uno with her and her friend/niece, she last minute arranged a sunset view of Kili. We had delicious dinner at the homestay with a bonfire afterwards. When she heard I got a new job she even bought cake for breakfast. Just wow, this was the friendliest and warmest experience ever in a homestay! Thank you so much! Also super nice, the homestay has a tuktuk driver, that easily and safely picks you up for a good price.
