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.).

IsraelRestaurants in the hotel are far costlier and not any better than more "local" options in the nearby town.
Right at the beach, with great view from the the room, the main restaurant, the pool area and even the (well equipped) gym. Staff were helpful and the place was clean and pleasant.

FranceThe rooftop bar / restaurant wasn't that awesome.
Staff were kind and helpful. The pool was great with the ocean sighting. The room was quite big, comfy, offering a wonderful view from the balcony. Breakfast was excellent. Food correct. The honey moon pack included a divine massage. The possibility to enjoy the hotel facilities after checkout with the provision of a shower to wash before leaving for a night flight.

United KingdomSecond stay at Z. Staff are wonderful, food is the best we had on the island and huge variety. Walking distance to other restaurants, beaches. Sunset drinks, beautiful pool area, lovely cocktails, clean facilities. (Also the most expensive place we stayed on the island but well worth it for a perfect stay). Thanks Z

SpainThere are some boats in front of the private beach, and it would be a great decision to keep an area free for only to swim.
The room was extremely clean and the staff really helpful and friendly. We loved the location, the dreamy beach in front and the views from our room. What’s more, the hotel has 2 restaurants, with delicious food (but european prices). To end, we would like to underline the kindness of the General Manager, Ramon, who pays attention to every detail to make sure that clients have a great stay! Thank you all!

NetherlandsTerrible WiFi connection. Not very relaxing environment, there was always some noise to hear around this hotel and even from the room (music, people talking, works). This was noticeable to us since we were really looking forward to some calm rest, but probably Nungwi is not the best location for that, rather the south of the island.
Friendly staff, excellent food at the Sexy Fish restaurant, the beautiful view on the sea from the rooom and the Zanzibar Horse Club right next to the hotel.

United Arab EmiratesSuperb F&B, Stunning location, great rooms beautifully decorated, but more importantly the team, from the driver from the airport, to housekeeping, security, maintenance, and all of the F&B team, they all took the time to know your preferences, you names, they think ahead and anticipate your needs and maintain consistency in standards and service. They really are an all star team led by an amazing General Manager. I was taken aback by the quality of service and would highly recommend for couples, groups and singles alike.. I too shall be returning.

United KingdomThe beach is open to the public so there are a lot of locals constantly harassing you to book tours with them

United KingdomThere wasn't anything much that we didnt like but possibly food prices where quite high in comparison to local food restaurants id advised to venture out and taste the culture in full for a rounded experience. If i could sugest anythinf maybe some fans by the sun beds to keep flys away from drinks and food. Also maybe more security in the daytime hours to prevent the amount of beach boys disturbing us everytime we went to the sea. I didnt mind tobegin with but after a while it becomes slightly annoying that you couldnt venture into the sea without being approached for items to buy and adventures when relaxation is at the forefront of your vacation but nevertheless would definitely go back to Z Hotel its a beautiful place beautiful people and quite possibly paradise.
I loved the hotel stay in truth me and my girlfriend really enjoyed ourselves celebrating my 30th birthday. The facilities were all good acceable for guests. The sexy fish restaurant is exactly what it decibws as breakfast and dinner was healthy and flavoursome and mouth watering compliments to the chefs everyday. The staff were warming and friendly and the security was polite and helpful.

South SudanAt times it could get a bit noisy, and some of the facilities seemed a bit small—for example, the main restaurant required reservations at dinner time and the casual restaurant and bar could fill up easily. The beach area is also on the smaller side.
Very beautiful property well situated in the heart of Nungwi beach. There are a number of other hotels, restaurants, and activities near by. The pool and beach area are great for relaxing, the rooftop bar provides great views of the beach, and the breakfast was delicious. The spa was also very nice and well priced.

Saudi ArabiaThe beds werent so comfy and they didnt have shataffs (if you know you know). And the hotel is small so it can get crowded real fast.
Location is spot on, in fact, this might be the best situated hotel around and you can see and hear the sea almost from everywhere, specially from the pool. The stay was cozy and we liked the artistic touches and yoga. Very cool place and staff.
