How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

All was great
I like the service of dropping me to the Airpiort. The staff were also kind enough to guide me to a barbershop to cut my hair. The breakfast was great and the reception was warm. It was a hommy environment.

They will bring you to the airport or meet you there. This option is free and is handy if you arrive or depart in the night time which is often the case.

The hosts Joseph and Rebecca are exceptional people. They drve us to and fro to our convention venue every day despite it being late at night at times. The staff were friendly and polite. I'd definitely stay with them again. May they be abundantly blessed.

We had 3 awful nights sleep here. The staff don't ask noisy guests to be quiet even at 1am in the common area. We had to message to ask them to do it. There were guests and staff coming and going and banging doors late at night and early in the morning. We could hear every toilet flush in the place. Some guests had TV's up really loud at all hours. When we arrived we were put in a small, dark room which was not what we booked. We were tired so we didn't realize until we were in bed. We were moved the next morning to the room we booked but only after we asked. We were pretty sure they were going to leave us there if we said nothing. The bath was cracked.
The airport pick up and drop off is fantastic...even though they forgot to pick us up when we arrived and we had to call them. Late breakfast and check out were very nice. The wifi was good. The room we booked had a lovely balcony and was quite spacious but we didn't get it until the 2nd day.

It is quite a long walk to Victoria Mall and other locations. Take boda boda or taxi.
Clean and comfortable rooms, nice courtyard and excellent breakfasts. Friuits, tea, coffie and snacks available all day. Not so close to Entebbe main attractions. Very friendly staff. Pick up or drop off on airport is free of charge.

Did not get the room I booked (double with garden view balcony). Instead got a spartan room at the back. However, we arrived at midnight and left after breakfast so it did not really matter.
Airport pickup was waiting for us. Breakfast are on the veranda was nice. Staff was very friendly.

Real coffee (brewed, filtered etc rather than the instant drink processed from the coffee beans) would be nice.
Breakfast was minimalist but adequate. The location is great for proximity to airport., but a challenge for others to find.

It was disappointing that there was no hot water available. We were so exhausted after our long journey that we couldn't be bothered to question this.
We had excellent communication with the hotel. The owner and daughter were at the airport to pick us up.

Jesus is Lord. This was a wonderful stay and I met some very nice people at the hostel. It was wonderful to have the free airport shuttle and so be picked up at 4 am from the airport. The breakfast in the morning was also good. The area of the hostel is very quiet and pleasant. I think my Lord Jesus was very kind to grant me to stay in this pleasant hostel.
