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.).

KenyaI wish we could have stayed longer.
The hotel is a beach hotel, the staff are warm and welcoming. Check-in was smooth. The hotel has a beach and restaurant on the opposite side of the main hotel. The rooms are clean. We had dinner at the restaurant, the portions were adequate and the food generally was delicious. There are many activities around the beachside to engage in: pool tables, swimming pool, paintball, and PlayStation 3 and 4. The kids enjoyed the pool as well. The breakfast had variety and was yummy.

SwedenOur room was in an older section. Could benefit from some renovation. Breakfast could have been better in terms of staff friendliness and fresh fruit selection.
The staff were very responsive arranging airport pick-up at short notice and very helpful in all other regards. Room was fine with working AC and fridge. Good location, easy to get to beach or take a trip out to Mbudya Island. Our two boys really enjoyed the nice and clean pool on the hotel premises, making several new friends.

Czech RepublicThe beach is nothing like in the photos, it was a huge disappointment for us as we booked this hotel especially for the access to the beach. Fortunately there are boats that take people to Mbudya and Bongoyo islands that have amazing beach, so we didn't miss out on beach time. Another thing is the information provision - you have to ask for every detail, otherwise you will never get all the information.
Our room was spacious, modern and very clean. The cleaning lady would come every day. Also quite good wifi connection. There are also boats going to Mbudya and Bongoyo islands across the road from the hotel (sometimes they try to charge you for more people, so be careful). Overal, we had a very good stay at the hotel. A big thanks to all the hotel staff!

United Statesthis location is hard to get to with frequently gridlocked traffic in the rain. In the evening the restaurant was understaffed, food took more than an hour. The safe in my room was broken, my coworker's room lacked a safe and other amenities, and the window and mirror allowed people to see in; staff partially addressed these issues.
The room had modern furnishings, confirmable firm bed, large table and chairs suitable for working, many lighting options, the wifi in the room worked well enough for streaming tv. Wifi around the front desk was more patchy. The breakfast buffet has a good selection of hot food, an omelette station, fresh fruit. The laundry service was easy and prompt. The pool area is sunny and fully enclosed away from the street. The check in process was straightforward and the breakfast staff were very courteous and professional.

United KingdomThe only dislike is that due to its location the cost of getting about on a bajaji can be rather expensive but this is no reflection on the hotel. I would suggest that any one visiting this hotel should download the BOLT Taxi app to reduce transportation costs.
Basically everything about my stay was exceptional, from the moment I arrived right up to the very end of my 4 week trip. The staff were cordial, professional and the room was located in the new annex and it was a joy to wake up early in the morning with the sun shinning directly onto my balcony. My only gripe was that it went too quickly. I hope the management and staff keep up their exceptional work ethics and carry on with the high quality of service that they already provide.

United KingdomIt is an older colonial-style hotel and therefore had no lift; though I was accommodated upstairs because my family had two rooms next to mine. I recently had a hip replacement, so to climb the stairs was an effort. I believe there are ground floor rooms for the elderly or infirm. As I didn't book the accommodation, I didn't realise the lack of lift.
Some family members had already stayed there, so for my last night in Dar es Salaam, I stayed there too. It is a nice, clean hotel. I was impressed by the fact that everything was provided including a hairdryer and toiletries.
