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.).

KenyaWhat a gem! Ah, I loved every bit of my short stay at Goodtimewithfar House. Set up in a very quiet and safe neighbourhood, Far's place welcomes you into a chic little paradise. The space is well thought out; from the outdoor area to the living room, kitchen and the rooms themselves. Super tidy! I was given a free updgrade for my room (thank you Far) but would have been equally happy with the room I had booked! The beds are super comfortable and are warm blankets provided (I came when it's chilly and rainy). There is hot water and really nice scented body wash. The breakfast is deliciously made and set up nicely! Sauda does a fantastic job! And the host; Far is a wonderful human being. Takes care of all the little things and is always available if you need anything. Thank you Far! Goodtimewithfar is definitely highly recommended! I definitely should have stayed longer. I'll be eargerly planning for my next trip back.

GermanyI have had a truly exceptional experience with Far. He is such a warm and loving person and makes your wishes and needs his first priority. He organized all the tours for me, including climbing Kili, we went to the gym together, had dinner together and so much more. It felt like being with a really good friend. I could not imagine a better place to stay for my time in and around Moshi :)

GermanyFar's homestay is perfect for a stay in Moshi. The house exudes coziness and the breakfast served every morning is outstanding - I couldn't start better into the day. Despite its slightly out-of-town location, getting to the center is quick and easy with a bajaji (TukTuk). Returning to the peaceful, green house and relaxing on the terrace after a bustling day in the noisy city center is truly refreshing. But the absolute highlight of the homestay is Far himself. Not only is he a warm and helpful host, but also a delightful person. Far is always ready with helpful tips and tricks, organizes tours, and cooks fantastic meals. Wishing you all the best for your paradise!

GermanyThe homestay is located in a quiet location just outside Moshi. Tuktuks can be used as an inexpensive way to get around and are readily available. The accommodation was excellent super comfy bed, lovely lounge area and beautiful garden. Breakfast was amazing and varied daily. The host was the most friendly I've ever met in all my years of travel. His motivation is to make every traveller's experience memorable and stress free. Can't recommend this place enough.

Far is a great host and can arrange anything for you: taxis, tours, services and local facilities. A little out of town but in a quiet area and only a short ride to anywhere. Wi-Fi was via hot spot due to some current problems with internet provider. Thank you Far for a great stay and for welcoming us to your family village. A very special experience.

It is a very nice homestay. The host, called Far, is a super friendly guy who speaks English very well. Far is really nice and helps you with everything. We had dinner with him and celebrated my boyfriends birthday. He bought him a piece of cake, which was just great 😍so if you are looking for a nice place to get a rest before or / and after Kili, get introduced to the Moshi nightlife and feel like being home -> Goodtimewithfar it is!!

SwitzerlandFar is the loveliest host and makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive! The house is very clean and located in a quiet district which was perfect to rest before and after the Kilimanjaro hike. Breakfast was very tasty with lots of fruits. Far was always available to help with anything, such as finding a bajaji (tuctuc) to move around. He also provided me with a SIM card and made really good suggestions on things to do around Moshi. He has a great offering of a activities too and is very knowledgable on the region! I strongly recommend and would come back without hesitation!

United StatesWe absolutely loved Far’s place! We stayed 5 nights before our Kilimanjaro trek and one night afterwards. Not only is Far a wonderful human, he also knows all of the good places to eat and visit in and around Moshi. He arranged our visit to the Materuni Waterfall and coffee experience, which we would also recommend. He has lots of other tours and experiences that he can arrange, which we wanted to do but didn't have time. Even if you are not able to stay with Far, contact him for day trips and treks! The breakfasts every morning were delicious. Far and Sauda are great chefs and Far also let us do a cooking class for dinner one night. We got to pick which Tanzanian dish that we wanted and Far took us to the market to get the ingredients and then showed us how to cook it! We loved sharing meals with some of the other guests too. The beds were super comfortable and the water pressure was great. The location is nice and Far helped us get rides to the downtown area whenever we needed it. Far's place felt like home away from home and we will definitely stay here again if we come back to Moshi.

United KingdomUnlikely, there was no internet that week. But Far allowed me to use his hotspot and he even gave me his SIM card. So that I could connect with the works.
The property was well decorated and really comfortable. There was a big living area and the bedrooms themselves were really spacious. Far brought me in town and we met some friends of his. He helped get some spices to bring back home, we went for lunch together and he was always helpful for any questions that I had. I loved the breakfast with a mix of eggs on toast and fruits. Far also helped me to book a transfer to/from the airport which was support convenient.
