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.).

FranceThe only thing I'd say is the price of the meals that were displayed at 15,000 TZN shilling and charged me 20,000 in the end.. not a big difference, but just not accurate about the price you think you'd have to pay, and over ten meals or so, still a price difference. Portions could be improve a bit too for the price, especially if you have a good appetite.
My stay at Sazani was great, it met my needs for my standards. The room was confortable and big enough for me, the "private" beach when high tide is great and as it's out of the village and the tourists crowds, you'll feel like on a private spot! The staff was really nice, kind, and helpful, thanks to you Lisa, Agnesi, Bakari and Saidi! The view from my room was nice, and I felt like home from the very beginning! It's a bit remote from the village itself, which didn't bother me, but if you want to be close from the tourist and crowded area, you'd have to put that in the balance. Breakfast was also really good and filling to start a nice day! I'd definitely recommand this place and I'll come back for sure.

NorwayThe garden area around the place is not so well looked after and some minor details missing inside the room like a hook to hang for towel, not possible to lock the bathroom door because missing hole to insert the lock.
The place is really quite and peacefull. Beach is very private and sea view is astonishingly beautiful. Comfortable and clean bed! Rooms are very simple and not much decorated. Staff are also very kind and welcoming and the new chef suleiman has a great record working as a chef with other famous chefs from around the world. The food he made was really tasty and good! If i come back to Zanzibar i will definitley come back to this place.

SloveniaI really like the staff, all staff who works there really add the value to the place, from maid, gatekeeper, to the manager and owner. Lisa (manager) was great, she was really trying to make your stay as pleasant as it can be. I will never forget the place, its so rural, natural, i could really feel the africa.. there were many evenings we just hung and talk in the resort, accompanied with the most kind dog and two cute cats. The soap in the bathroom was also out of this world, natural and smell so good.

A wonderful and beautiful place to relax! The Lodges are all located right at the Ocean, Ocean view included. The beach is empty, I have been alone at the beach most of the times. Staff was very welcoming and helped with every question. My plan was to stay 1 1/2 weeks, but I extended, because I felt so comfortable there. :)

South AfricaThere is nothing to not like if you are looking to relax. If you decide to want some more action you will need to take a taxi, but that will happily be organized by the team.
This a Tanzanian Gem. From our first step onto this premises until now, we felt we were visiting friends and family. A wonderful team will make you stay 100% relaxed, fun and comfortable. This is a place were for sure people wanted to go 2 days and left after 3 months. It has a magical vibe that will slow you down and want to just breath in the ocean air and enjoy the views of the colorful ocean. It would not surprise us if romantic novels would have been written on one of the many chill spots created to just sit, relax and be. And the food is amazing and prepared with so much love. And please read the menu carefully : Fresh not fast :) ... This Gew is in total a place to go and just be.

North MacedoniaIt lacks air conditioning which I think is a must in such hot weather. We were provided with a fan which helped.
The staff is exceptional. The food and the location were perfect too. If you are looking for privacy and staying away from the noise that’s the spot. The beach is private and very beautiful.

I’ve never been anywhere so beautiful, this place is unique in Zanzibar. I read reviews and was a bit worried but it just took my breath away with its beauty. The service was amazing, food delicious beach the whitest sand I’ve ever seen , sea the most turquoise, quite no hassle like other beaches just idyllic. Basilisa and Nasir are the perfect hosts, they were starting Sunday events while I was there, a moon rise dinner and then lazy Sunday afternoons with acoustic music… fantastic food, set menu… yummm

NetherlandsCan’t recommend this place enough! The breakfast and location are on point. We got fresh fruit, juice, delicious french pressed coffee and we could chose from a selection of eggs with local pastries of the day. And to top it all off you can go for a morning dip on one of the most beautiful private beaches I’ve seen in Zanzibar. Its the perfect place to lounge in the sun, nestled between the rocks on the beach or just chill on the couches and read a book. The location is so private and peaceful, which isn’t easy to find these days in Zanzibar. The staff are lovely and there is such a chilled vibe which makes you feel right at home. Will definitely be back!

KenyaWe felt like the room in the photos was not similar to what we were offered at the premises,but we were able to talk to the host about that The beds were not very comfortable and the curtains did not provide much privacy. The owner could do something about maintaining the place. Value for money not achieved
Sazani is located in a great place just next to the beautiful Nugwi beach. It is beautiful to watch people do watersporting. The breakfast was great. Fresh fruits and great pancakes and mandazi. The host and his staff are also very kind and engaging.

Swedenunfortunately they didn’t have a restaurant and it’s 1.5 km walk to closest descent place. Nearby area has many large resorts that has build huge walls which makes it feel a bit unsafe even though it was perfectly fine for us. if every place was as Sazani beach lodge it would be much better! Zanzibar should really review their urban planning for better development in the future.
amazing location with a very calm beach. No sellers on the beach which is a huge contrast to other places at Nungwie. we loved that it was so calm and relaxing, felt very remote and we often had the beach completely for ourselves.

We loved everything about this lodge! We booked for 2 night but we extended our stay until the end of our holiday in Zanzibar! No word to describe how Nas and the team made us feel like home! Breakfast was delicious everyday something new and fresh fruit from the garden. Please if you are looking for a relaxing place full of good vibes make yourself a favor and stay here. The beautiful beach is located literally under your stylish room. We appreciate how the staff was so friendly and ready to help anytime. Definitely on our next trip to Zanzibar this is the only place where we are gonna stay. Thank you for making our holiday so special we'll never forget the experience. Well done!!
