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.).

KenyaKindly improve on the all inclusive drinks menu selection especially cocktails. Add some ice cream for the kids too.
The facility is very clean with super friendly staff. The food was amazing, we loved mahamri and nyama choma the most. We enjoyed aqua Zumba a lot! Big up to their gymnasts and instructors at the poolside who made swimming more fun with the different pool activities. They take very good care of the kids as they swim too. We will definitely be back soon.

KenyaIt is almost not fair to mention and not meant as a disapproval, but... Before we booked we asked if bacon and cheese is available at breakfast. The answer was "yes", but it turned out to be the surrogate called "macon". Cheese is available. The choice of bread is white and light brown sliced. There is no real brown multi-grain bread. I am glad to report that real butter is served. The only way to get to the pool and back to the room is by stairs. Difficult for people with a crutch or walking stick and impossible for somebody in need of a wheelchair.
Nice personnel and friendly service. The pool has a maximum depth of 165cm which was nice because I could stand everywhere. Because of the warm and humid climate the pool is essential for cooling off. Availability of various beverages was very good and quality and quantity of food also.

United KingdomWhen we arrived we were a little disappointed at the quality of the hotel. It was a little tired/old and could do with updating. However, after staying there for 6 nights, we loved it and that didn't really matter so much. Other minor things: There weren't really enough sunbeds for guests though and the day we arrived they were all taken by other guests. The Cave should have been full every night. It was amazing. It needs promoting more! The gym needed to be improved - one running machine and one bike plus some weights. We had pizzas at the pool bar one day and they took over an hour!!! The beach wasn't great and the seaweed made it smell. The locals hassled you (more than any other country I've visited) and wouldn't take no for an answer. If they had a different approach they'd have done a lot more business selling their trips and goods.
It was a nice large hotel with lots of facilities. The pool was massive and lovely to sit around. Our room was large with a lovely outdoor terrace overlooking the sea. The buffet restaurant was nice but could have had more fish dishes on the menu, however, it did have a good choice of other dishes. There was a sports bar and evening entertainment. Two nights they moved the buffet outside by the stage, which was lovely and made a good change. The staff were very friendly and were always checking you were having a good time. They were always saying 'Jambo'. The Cave restaurant was amazing. We went twice and it was always empty!! It needs promoting more - we should have been told about it on arrival and someone should have gone around taking bookings for it - the service was outstanding and so was the food. We went to the spa in the other Flamingo Hotel and highly recommend that. Hotel offered watersports and trips.

SwitzerlandSome ACs in the rooms weren't working, and the smell from the room was kind of damp and irritating to the nose. Airing the room and fumigation would also help reduce insects in the room as well.
I loved the ambience of the hotel,the staff were accommodating and friendly. The all-inclusive package was really worth it as you had enough to eat and drink without bothering to leave the hotel.

BelgiumThe rooms had a few insects which are typical of African locations, constant fumigation could eliminate these from being visible to guests.
Very beautiful scenery, the staff were very courteous and friendly. Our host staff Claus was exceptional in making us feel welcome. The resort had a functional gym which was attended by Jareth and he was most helpful in assisting guests to use the facilities.

United KingdomThe images are misleading. It shows slides and we booked this for them. We were told the slides were removed and that the other hotel had slides. We requested to use the slides for 1 hour and were told we were not allowed. Very dissapointing as the kids were quite sad as we told them we were going to have slides. Its wrong and was very upsetting.
