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.).

UkraineNothing, I liked everything
I really liked this place - the rooms were spacious -the staff was amazing - the food in the restaurant was good for the good price - the internet worked fine compared to other places in the area - they even prepared a full breakfast for me at 5:30 am before my departure to Nairobi. Many thanks! Everything I could ask for after my Kilimanjaro climb. I can recommend this place for your stay in Moshi.

I truly had a wonderful stay at the Shose Chalets! This property provided a lovely relaxing retreat after finishing my Kilimanjaro climb. The chalet was larger than I expected, well appointed and super comfortable. The property owner was very helpful and responsive to my requests and ensured my stay was an enjoyable one. I also have to compliment the restaurant on the excellent food and service. Great value for money here. I would stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone considering staying here.

ItalyRoom service from the kitchen has been so slow; I have asked at around 4PM and I got the food at 7.15 and after a call at 6PM, saying that the food was coming
The room is like a big single house with a beautiful garden, very spacious and comfortable, in a quiet and silent place with banana trees and birds, the bathroom is very big and the kitchen (of you want to use it) complete, bed is very comfortable

Wonderful houses in an oasis-like environment. Beautifully maintained garden. Extremely friendly staff. They really take good care of you as a guest. Not far from the bustle of Moshi, you can take a tuk-tuk for around $5.00 to get the city.

PolandAt first I was offered a room that I didn’t like and it wasn’t as shown on booking. Glad they changed it fast. No real coffee but it seems to be standard here. What a shame!
You can’t go wrong with it unless you want to stay somewhere more central. The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, never seen so many options for breakfast at a privately managed property. I wanted to sunbathe so they even organised a hammock for me. While you can’t see the mountain from the room, it takes literally 50 meters to get to the viewpoint. Even better climb the new building that’s in construction with a bottle of Kilimanjaro! Pro tip. Order food about 1h minimum earlier. It takes long, even a sandwich, but I think it is well worth it.

GermanyIt is a bit outside of Moshi, hence you need to take a Tuk Tuk or taxi if you want to go anywhere else. But they are cheap and pass by regularly.
Peter, our host, was super friendly and helpful. He arranged a driver and another hotel for us and also afterwards always asked if we are doing fine. The chalets are very spacious, clean and we had a wonderful time.

The manager Peter and staff were excellent. The accommodation was great! The surrounding gardens are beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay. Breakfasts were excellent with plenty of farm fresh veggies and fruits. Would highly recommend this place. It is a few km from Moshi town but we didn't find that to be much of an inconvenience as tuk tuk driver was always available.
