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.).

The 2 big pools, the beach, the gardens and the great SPA, the smile and cheerfulness of the staff. A special thank to Chef Rachid who was really paying attention to all the details and making us feel welcomed! I also loved that the hotel was making early breakfast to Muslims fasting during Ramadan! Iftar buffet was also available.

United KingdomComms was poor - sent them a few messages through the app but the response would take 3 days to come back. Also, watch out for the poorly placed door stop in the bathrooms - I stubbed my toe in it twice.
Beach was nice, facilities good, staff were friendly and the spa was amazing… overlooking the Indian Ocean!

TanzaniaThe AC didn’t get cold enough and it was very hot. We informed the hotel and they sent someone to fix it but it still didn’t work very well. It was also very busy over Easter and difficult to get a hold of reception.
The property was nice with all the amenities we needed. Meals were excellent and the kids absolutely loved the pool. They have a kids club as well and a lot to keep the little ones entertained. A la carte drinks and meals are also reasonably priced.

United KingdomThey did get our room request mixed up when we arrived, however we were told this was not their fault, but were advertised incorrectly on Booking.com. I booked 3 different rooms and one was shown as a bungalow. However the complex had no bungalows although booking.com said they did. We were put in 3 identical doubles rooms, (although all 3 were a different price which was confusing). The rooms were excellent - just that they differed from what Booking.com told us they would be and with 6 people, staying in 3 double rooms all the same - we have no idea why the cost varied. We believe this was not the hotels fault, but that of Booking.com
The food was excellent, much better than a normal inclusive holiday. The staff were very accomodating. The adults only pool was divine.

EthiopiaI felt that drinking water was an issue. There should be some sort of additional charges and make water free flowing.
The food was amazing. It was a great family experience. Lots to do for the kids. I would definitely recommend it for people with small kids. The staff were very accommodating. I travel quiet a bit and I place this resort in my top 5.

South AfricaNot much not to like , our stay were great. Just do not try to order room service to late at night a lot of the dishes were not available late at night and you pay extra for the food to be delivered to your room. So rather go have dinner at the restaurant.
The Hotel is well maintained, and the room were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. Some mornings they had Swahili ladies prepare some local dishes that tasted great. The Pools are super clean and inviting and the pool staff is great. But swimming in the ocean is not a good option but the beaches are clean.

South AfricaPrivate beach area is relatively small. No fault of the resort, but when you leave confined private beach - the locals can be rather "bothersome". I realize that everyone wants and needs to make a living.....but if you want to just go for a relaxing stroll - it's not going to happen.
What a wonderful family resort. Lots of entertainment & facilities for kids. Children's water park is awesome. Having a "silent" pool just for adults was an added bonus. Staff were exceptionally polite - go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Grounds are very well maintained. Security was good. We can highly recommend the spa to relax & unwind - therapist was very professional and well trained. Thank heavens for air conditioning in rooms - Mombasa can be pretty hot & humid. We took the dinner, bed and breakfast option - food was really good; especially if you are one for buffet!
