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.).

GermanyJust perfect. The hotel with the spacious and modern rooms and stunning view from everywhere (each room, pool and restaurant) made our day. Came back to stay here after the safari again. Perfect for every stage of a vacation. Staff is well trained and meets every request.

We had a wonderful stay at Africa Safari Karatu. Everyone was very welcoming. We were greeted upon arrival with a welcome drink which was lovely. The rooms were tastefully furnished with a wonderful view from the balcony over the valley. We enjoyed a daily swim in the pool and enjoyed delicious meals in the restaurant. Thank you so much. We highly recommend this accommodation and the whole team.

United KingdomAccess is somewhat challenging, make sure you don’t follow google maps on the last stretch and plan to approach the hotel from the main road in a four wheel drive with high ground clearance, but if you’re a white traveller in this area you’ll likely have a guide and/or a driver with just one.
The location is second to none with unbelievable views. The meals are nice and tasty, served in an open restaurant at the top. The pool is nice and clean and even if you arrive quite late you might just be granted permission to have a nice evening swim after opening hours if you ask nicely. :)

IndiaIt was night when we were reaching and the directions on google maps was not accurate. We had a bit of trouble finding it. It would be good to speak with someone in the property and get clear directions, if you plan to get there after sunset.
Very well maintained property. The rooms are large and nice with a balcony. Good views from the room. Staff were very nice and courteous.

Better in person than the pictures. This was a delight to arrive at after a long car journey. Relaxing location with a luxury touch. As someone mentioned prior... in rainy season, you need a 4x4 but worth it when you arrive.

SwitzerlandThe rooms heat up in the evening as they look into stunning sunset views. It would therefore be better if there were fans in every room on arrival. But these were offered and delivered immediately. So not a real complaint. The food was good but our two packed lunches were identical, so maybe a variation would help. But the chicken tikka and rice was good nonetheless.
Exceptional views from rooms, restaurant and pool. Very helpful, friendly staff. Location very close to Ngorongoro and Manyara. Wonderful breeze in this hilltop location. Well laid out bar and restaurant area, again with amazing views. Value for money.
