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.).

MexicoI think the price was to high for the service and type of room. It was not a cheap hotel and it did not have facilities we expected. Moreover, in the pictures the pool seem to be big and it was rather small. Also, to arrive there the road is awful (but maybe that is in all the island), it is better to walk than to go in transport.
Bed was comfortable and big. However, the room did not have any sofa inside the bedroom to rest a bit. Outside chairs were not comfortable. The toilet did not have hands soup. The staff are very nice, in the reception, at the entrance and in the restaurant.

RwandaFood menu was very limiting with many items not available.
The hotel staff, location and general needs (hotel room, water, cleanliness, etc.) were great. The only thing that I had read on comments before was the food menu which I found to be limiting, however this was also great for us as it pushed us to go explore other restaurants who are in Nungwi and explore more the area.

South AfricaRegrettably, the Restaurant has a significant negative impact on the overall experience at this Resort. On our first day, we eagerly ordered the daily special for lunch, which consisted of Chicken with fries and Fish with potatoes – a choice both my partner and I made. However, to our disappointment, we had to endure a wait of one hour and twenty minutes before the food finally arrived. Adding to the disappointment, the chicken turned out to be undercooked, prompting us to send it back and wait once more for a properly prepared dish. The lack of attentive service was evident, as it was challenging to get the waiters' attention due to their absence from the dining area, seemingly occupied in the kitchen. That evening, we returned to the Restaurant for dinner, believing they would offer a buffet. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that there was no buffet available, and it was a mistake on their part to suggest otherwise. Instead, we were restricted to choosing from the same limited lunch options, unable to select from their regular menu. This left us puzzled, as we were essentially forced to repeat the same meal we had for lunch. When we questioned the waiters about this inconsistency, they seemed bewildered and unable to provide a satisfactory explanation until we insisted on speaking with the manager. The manager apologized and attempted to make amends for the inconvenience caused. Throughout the dinner, we noticed many other guests expressing their frustration at the prolonged wait times for their food. Some even reported waiting for over two hours, despite the restaurant not being at full capacity. This added to the overall dissatisfaction of the dining experience. Additionally, the professionalism of the establishment was further marred by the sight of the manager's children entering the staff-only kitchen area and playing soccer while guests were present.
The location and environment of the Hotel is superb. Upon arrival the receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. They were able to assist with a little surprise for my partner which i found very nice of them as it was short notice but they went out of their way to assist with the request. The breakfast buffet was great and loved that they offered a few traditional foods such as mandazi, and local beans which tasted amazing.

GermanyIt was tough, because we were the only guests in the hotel, so it felt awkward. Was hard to discuss about meals, not a lot of options and even after asking what we like to eat, that food was not always available. They tried, especially the waiters. Wouldnt recommend booking this in low season though.

Perfect place for a quiet private stay in Nungwi not far from everything! We stayed one night in room called Jadeite with nice ocean-view and big balcony (second floor of the three-storey building at the back of the hotel). Very nice spacious room, big and nice bathroom with gel, shampoo, hair dryer. Clean, big nice bed, with fridge and kettle, AC, everything is working. coofee-maker mentioned in the describtion is just instant coffee, if what) We enjoyed also buffet-breakfast: tea, coffee only instant unfortunately, eggs of your choice, toasts, jams, nutella, butter, some fried veggies, chapati and meat in sauce. Territory is sweet, place is quite, unlike all the other Nungwi (which is half hour walk basically) green, view of the ocean is amazing, pool with salt-water located nicely. We didn't swim in the ocean but all the hotel located on the reefrock, so the entrance to the ocean is a bit rocky also, but enough nice place to sekm etc. Overall standart is good but it's not top-top, you need to understand it) but the quality-money is very good for Zanzibar, which is pretty overpriced to my opinion.

GermanyWifi is very slow, the location of hotel is a bit on the windy side of the island, road to the hotel is very bad and if you want to go to out or go to the beach, allow at least 30 min, because taxis cannot drive more then 3km/h as the road is full of deep holes.
Resort is beautiful, it has a lot of cute and nice corners for photos. Although they don't have a beach, there is a lagoon 2 minutes away.

South AfricaYou can't really swim in the ocean just outside the property. There are plenty of sea urchins in the water. You can walk on the beach during low tide, during high tide the beach is not accessible because the water breaks on the rocks right by the steps to get into the property.
The view, amazing. Facilities are really well looked after.
