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.).

KenyaThis hotel is tucked away from the road so really peaceful environment. I loved the ambience of the hotel as well as a nice foyer and dining area - and pool with a wonderful sea view if you walk to the end of the property. The apartments give you the option to cook and dine alone - so perfect for a quiet getaway. Really great service. The additional of the pan -African restaurant Kiza is just amazing - was lovely to eat dishes from the continent.

ZimbabweIn the evening of the 25th of December, the dinner service at the restaurant was painfully slow and quite disorganized. It was evident that the restaurant was overwhelmed by the high turnover on Christmas Day. The waiters were doing their best, but they definitely need some training.
Kilua resort is fairly new and is situated on Shanzu beach. The hotel is built around a central area of swimming pools which are well-kept and very clean. The shallow swimming pools are a great attraction for families and children. The hotel rooms are very clean and comfortable, and we had a room on the 3rd floor with a great view of the pool area and the beach. Even though the hotel does not have a bar of its own, one can make use of the Flamingo cave bar next door (belonging to pride in Flamingo hotel, and located just one minute walk from the Kilua resort reception), which has superb views of the beach. The hotel provides shuttle services to the airport for a fee. The hotel staff are very welcoming all throughout - from the reception to the housekeeping staff and the concierge. Check-in was smooth. On our last day of stay, we were very pleased when the manager allowed us to have a room, since we had to vacate our 3- bedroom unit, but our flight out of Mombassa got delayed until late in the day. Breakfast includes a variety of options.

GermanyOur apartment had smaller but also some big issues which are dangerous especially for smaller children. The stair railing is not done properly so that children can fall down through large gaps onto the hard tiled floor from a height of more than 2,50 meters. I called reception to fix it but after looking at it nothing happened. Additionally next to the balcony in the master bedroom another gap exposes a similar safety issue but in this case one could fall out the window because a railing is missing. in the kitchen the (new) dishwasher gives electric shocks and also does not work.
It is overall a very good resort with spacious apartments and sea view. The pool is clean and the public beach is easily and directly reachable.

The location was great and amazing. so child friendly and nice for family. The personnel are friendly. I liked the swimming pool and the babies enjoyed sliding into the pool from the slide erected just in front of the pool. the rooms got a good view of the ocean and AC is amazingly cool giving a good counter of the coastal heat. I will be back in Kilua for longer!
