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.).

Staffs are super friendly and their foods are simple but very good! All vegetables and fruits are from their own organic farm, and they taste stong and tasty.They are highly eco-conscious, which gave me a nice feeling. All solar-powered.

GermanyWe had rooms close to the dining area and especially in the mornings when people were already having breakfast early it was quiet loud and disturbing. The wifi could be better.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful (pre-communication with Luc was great, staff on site was attentive). Food was excellent, drink selection could be a bit better. Lodge and yard were spotless and quiet - nice place to relax and enjoy the countryside. The lunch boxes were great - especially compared to others.

United StatesI cannot think of a single thing that was lacking in this facility.
The staff at Tanzanice Farm Lodge is incredible! Made me feel very comfortable and attended to my every need. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastic, delicious and plenty of food! Very peaceful, relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend Tanzanice Farm Lodge to anyone in need of a place to stay. Price very reasonable for the outstanding services provided. Would definitely stay there again if the opportunity should arise.

IsraelStaff very accommodating and friendly. Food was good and came from the organic garden (we requested local fare for one dinner and it was excellent). They had a small clean pool that the kids enjoyed despite the cool weather. They had great suggestions for activities we didn't have time for. The location is close to entrance of Ngorongoro crater.

BelgiumWifi doesn't work. We advice to buy a Tanzanian sim card.
Very welcoming staff. Speak very good English. Warm welcome with juice and hot towels. The room is big, with good big beds and nice bathroom with hot shower. The place is very quiet. We loved the our terrace to relax in the evening. We had half board and it was excellent the food. Very healthy and good taste. Dinner was 3 courses and breakfast was also excellent. That went beyond the way with making gluten free and lactose free bread, wraps they always asked what we would like to eat. Best food on our trip in Kenya and Tanzania. It's a perfect place to rest before and after your safari. We stayed here in total 3 night's. The location Karatu is the best if you want to go to Ngorongoro Consevation Area (NCA) or Serengeti. it's only 30 minutes to NCA. Karatu is the last town before NCA so good to go to the supermarket and get fuel. Karatu is a nice place to walk around and nice restaurant (Lilac café). The Lodge also provides 3 nice tours. We did one tour with a visit to the hospital. It was a unforgettable experience. Thanks once again for the wonderful stay! Mathias & Nanet

I truly enjoyed this "home away from home setting". The lobby reminds one more of a cozy living room where we also had our delicious meals. The staff was very gracious and accomodated us greatly. We were able to arrange a safari through the owner, Luc, as well as transport to and from Kilmanjaro airport ( about 4 hours). Everything went smoothly and there were no hidden fees. Did I mention that the food was delicious.....😋
