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.).

Beautifully designed and maintained boutique hotel; feels like a sophisticated private home. Wonderful host. To give an example of the level of service, my suitcase had been damaged during transit. The hotel was able to fix it and return it to me within 30 minutes of arrival. Exceptional!

UgandaThe additional bed in the family room was a little narrow and likely more suitable for a smaller child. The round mosquite net with a small ring at the top makes it hard to sleep under the net and not get tangled in it over the course of a night's sleep.
It is a beautiful property, with well thought out touches that made you feel like the hotel was exclusively your own. The family room had a sea view and took up the whole top balcony. The staff and team behind the scenes were all so friendly and wonderful with their care and coordination of activities for us. Loved the resident dogs too!

SwitzerlandIt was a wonderful stay at an beautiful small boutique hotel. Elga and the whole Team were simply amazing. Located literally on the beach the most difficult question was rather to enjoy the pool or the beach. The Team around the kitchen were super friendly and provided always delicious food. As well we can highly recommend the cooking class with the Team, simply fun and a good activity to learn more about local food.

NetherlandsThe only thing we can think of is the shower; at times a very low water pressure. But no big deal for us.
Uzuri is in one word amazing. Its location is very good. Directly at the beach. The house itself has a lot of character. Beautiful garden; nice pool. Very friendly and helpful staf. Great breakfast and very good food. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Uzuri. Thanks Elga for having us; and thanks to your staf.

We had a wonderful time at Uzuri. It has a relaxed atmosphere, with super friendly staff and great food (especially the Fish Burger). We stayed in the suite facing the pool. My son had so much fun with the sand, the pool, and of course Ginger and Dragon. We will definitely be back and recommend the place to our friends.

if you’re looking for a laidback vibe, amazing people and comfortable place in Zanzibar. This is it! it has direct beach access, a nice pool and probably some of the best food / breakfast. They have an amazing massage service too which I would highly recommend. The people that work there are absolutely amazing too! we loved our time there and can’t wait to go back one day.

SwitzerlandEverything was good but would have been nice to have some rotation on the menu as we were staying for a week (:
great quiet boutique hotel with very nice staff and great location. The tide on the beach was no problems at all as we enjoyed a walk to the blue water in about 20min at low tide, and could swim easily when high. Prices were very good and the hotel offers great value for money, charm and a nice homey atmosphere that we loved. we had an incredible stay, were able to fully relax and recharge and were pleased by the full team - in particular Happy always doing her best to make our stay magical! Recommend 100%.

Uzuri Villa is a beautiful and peaceful small hotel by the beach in Jambiani. We spent three lovely days there. The staff was really nice, we loved the decoration, the comfort of the room, and the pool was a blessing. The breakfast was really good as well. On the last day, we had the surprise to have the visit of small monkeys in the garden; so cute!

Our stay at Uzuri Villa was amazing. The Villa has an incredibile atmosphere: rooms are cozy and spacious, the swimming pool is wonderful and makes it is possible to relax under palmas, just in front of the sea. The staff is incredibly kind and always available. The food is excellent and a chef is available at any time, from breakfast until dinner. In short: Uzuri Villa is the perfect place for relaxing and visiting the east and south of Zanzibar.

United Arab EmiratesOur room in particular was a bit dark and noisy, just by the entrance. A few times other guests though it was the door to the lobby bathroom and tried to open it - a sign with a room number, for example, would fix this.
Beautiful, small property. Really nicely decorated, and very well kept. The pool area was gorgeous and very relaxing. The staff were super kind, and they sang me the most enthusiastic happy birthday ever. They gave us early check-in and late check-out, even though we didn’t even request it.

EstoniaThe hotel is spacious and private. The hostess, Elga, is very approachable, friendly and helpful (she speaks english, italian and swahili). The waitresses Mary and Grace were very polite and accomodating. The pool area is amazing: quiet, surrounded by trees and various plants that also givesshelter from the burning sun. Everything is well maintained (pool is clean and the ground is raked every morning from debris). The place felt safe and relaxing. Breakfast had many different options and was tasty. The beach is connected to the hotel via a wooden fence and it looked clean. Rooms are nice, neatly cleaned every morning and room service even covers the bed with bug nets every night just in case, tho we didn’t see or hear any bugs in the room. Dragon the german shepard was cute and likes being scratched. You can also have the staff book you all kind of different trips/excursions/massages etc. We were really lucky to have found this place and were sad to leave. Totally recommend this place. Aitäh! (thank you in estonian) :)
