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.).

GermanyThe room was very nice. The AC was working well and the bathroom was clean. We had delicious breakfast every day with coffee (with real milk!), fruits and a main of choice. The owner and the staff (and Koa, the dog) were very friendly and nice to be around. The hotel is not directly on the beach, but maybe 50-100m from the ocean (1 minute away).

SloveniaOur stay at Shamba Lodge was unforgettable. The host was amazing and very helpful with everything. In terms of the standard of living in Zanzibar, the Shamba Lodge estate is superior. We also liked that the property is close to the beach and away from the crowds.

A real crush for Shamba lodge. If you are looking for a really local and charming place, this is the one for you. The staff is just amazing, smiling, helping whenever they can. The room is simple and comfortable, the wifi is good and the breakfast is prepared with love. Everything is just like the island, beautiful and welcoming. Those who are looking for luxury should skip it ;) Thank you Marta and all your team for the wonderful moments we had.

SlovakiaLocation is a bit further from part of beach where we wanted to swim so we walked. For us it was fine as we like to walk, but for somebody it could be far. We did not managed to control air condition. It cooled too much. Think controlling unit was NOT working properly.
Spacious room and bathroom with toilet. Marta is great host. Nothing is problem 🙏 Property is very private as it have only 4 rooms.

SlovakiaBreakfast - a bowl of fruit - great. The next course - pancakes, omelets, scrambled eggs. It would be a good idea to expand these three options by 2-3 extra- cereal, yogurt plus some juice. Eddie - very helpful, friendly. Very nice, rooms cleaned every day, linen changed every 3 days. There are shops, restaurants, villages nearby.

NetherlandsBreakfast is quite small - bowl of fresh fruits + omelette or pancakes. Room amenities are minimal. AC is a bit noisy.
Spacious room and bathroom with high ceilings. The beach and very nice beach restaurants are just in 2 mins. This side is more ‘local’ than touristy, locals are playing football on the beach and swimming in the sea in the evening. Owner is very friendly and helpful.
