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 mosquito net was difficult to close, so we had to use hairties. One of the rooms also didnt have any light at the night stand.
The rooms were very nicely decorated and well fitted. The water worked perfectly fine and breakfast was delicious! the staff was also very welcoming and always helpful

ItalySome more furniture in the room could be helpful. Also, bars nearby often kept very high music all night long - not much that the hosts could do, unfortunately.
The place is very cozy, right in front of Nungwi beach. Room is big enough and clean. And most importantly, the two hosts are super friendly, always ready to help and give you suggestions on what to do and how to do it!

Germanyeverything was great! + twice a week there is a party in the club right around the corner. Baiba informed us when we did the Check-In, that there will be loud music some nights a week. It did not bother us that much, when you use ear-plugs, it will be fine, I guess.
10/10 for this accommodation! Amazing small place with a nice garden just next to Nungwi Beach + great coffee! + the best breakfast we had in Tanzania / Zanzibar, fruits, eggs, omelettes, pancakes, they even provided fresh juice and nutella! You can order as much as you want/need + amazing and nice staff, Baiba was so nice and helpfull, she was always around / via WhatsApp and gave us many information and recommendations for Restaurants etc. + Location! just 1-2 min. walk to the beach, many bars, supermarkets, restaurants nearby! + the rooms were nice and very clean, also the bathroom + bed was large and comfy + balcony was nice as well + they even provided something nice for my wife and me for our marriage anniversary (decoration and free Kilimanjaro beer)

IndiaNothing that I didn't like.
The breakfast was exceptional. I really haven't had such a good breakfast in a very long time. The french toasts and the beef sausages were dream. Loved how aesthetically the lodge was done, simple yet tasteful. It was a great last minute decision for us. We couldn't find any other stays at Nungwi so we booked this. But we are glad, we stayed here. It was so peaceful and quaint and yet right next to the beach and all the great restaurants.

United Arab EmiratesThere's no blowdry and luckily we had our shampoo and body wash as they don't have any in the rooms.
Loved the place!! The staff and owner are very friendly and supportive. It's 2 steps away from the beach, the area is awesome! We renewed our stay as we loved the area and the cost is affordable compared to the rest. Breakfast was amazing (on the spot pancakes, eggs, omelet etc.) wifi was also amazing and the good part that there's AC. The area is full of shopping and good restaurants. I will definitely visit again and stay in Siri.

GermanyNothing to criticize - do recommend full heartedly.
Baiba is a great host. The rooms are tastefully done, the mattress firm, the fan for me better than aircon, no bugs, the garden is relaxing, and Baiba‘s tips very very hepful so I could get the most out of my 24 hour stay - including very local dinner, a dolphin snorkeling tour and a swim with sea turtles …

South AfricaWe loved everything!
Oh, Siri! This was the highlight of the trip! We owned the lodge and nearby surroundings :-) . The location is perfect, right at the center of Nungwi. Well nested and dominated with lovely well-taken care of gardens, they give you that island feel the moment you walk in. You can walk to the center and access convenient shops, you can also walk to all the famous beaches in Nungwi. There are bars everywhere and all of them have 'happy hours' every day. The staff and the owner were super kind and amazing. We checked out late and they allowed us to. Best value for money and the breakfast was great!

United KingdomWe didn't get shower gel and the cold water pressure for the shower was low. Otherwise all great!
Great location close to the beach but just far enough from the night parties. A bit tricky to get to by car during wet season as "roads" all around the island are bad. Once there, great spot. Breakfast is good and recently cooked. Staff is very, very friendly. Garden is really beautiful and they even use some of the flowers to decorate your bed each day, fantastic!

QatarThe only thing I don't like is that the blanket is too thin, which makes sleeping uncomfortable especially when AC is on overnight.
The location is fantastic. Its near the beach. They provide excellent breakfast, and the location and rooms are both instagramable and well kept. The staff is also pleasant. Given the low price, the place far exceeded our expectations.
