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.).

KenyaJinja Grand Hotel is located in an area that is easily accessible. It is easy to get the transport providers to take you to the place. I loved their rooms and staff. The team was quite hospitable. It was actually like a home away from home.

UzbekistanI would recommend this to anyone who wants simple comfort and convenience without alot of fuss. They take Visa and multiple forms of payment The team managed expectations very well. No complaints/no surprises!
Walking distance to Main Street but down the hill enough so that it's quiet. The staff clearly communicated everything, the breakfast was delicious and served in the morning after alerting the front desk, the bed was very comfy and I enjoyed the fan for some white noise and humidity relief.

PolandI believe the shower has to be fixed a little. There was warm water but it was not able to direct it toward me. It was spraying everything around :) (and wetting my toilet paper) and It would be nice if there were a separate light for the bathroom.
We were warmly welcomed and we really enjoyed comfortable beds as we were very tired. The pillows were nice and soft! The hotel has a feel at home atmosphere, and we enjoyed that. In the evening we were asking what they are cooking and ordering accordingly. For the breakfast, it is usually an omelette accompanied in one day by potato wedges and the other by cassava. All served nice and clean. We adored a huge avocado tree in the compound - perfect place for breakfast or just sitting in the shade. A fan in the room is essential equipment in January (the hottest month) and I was glad it was there, we also received plug-in repellent for the room. Bathroom clean, Ugandan style but with sitting toilet, and slippers were provided. I loved the location of the hotel, walking distance from the main street but in a quiet surrounding allowing you to hear birds chirping in the morning.
