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.).

United KingdomThe absence of a buffet means waiting for your meals can be long. The quality of airport shuttles needs attention. I would recommend organizing your own transportation to and fro.
Rooms was spacious and clean, air conditioning good. It's within reach of everything you need given the crazy traffic in Kampala. This is ideal if you have stuff to do within the city center and also quickly connect to the route going to the airport. It's a little gem in the midst of a sort of chaotic environment.

GermanyIt is located in Downtown Kampala. So specially European Tourists have to know, that you have to be very careful, when you are walking around by day. And it's too dangerous outside the hotel by night. And the matress is not soft. And it's very loud.
It was a very, clean an safe space! Warm water and good Wifi.

United KingdomNo toothbrush & toothpaste provision for customers. Had to go out to buy. Came to hotel early morning asked for water but receptionist was quite curt and said none is available till morning. Morning came and afternoon but no water so had to go out to buy and still got challenged as to why water is being brought into the hotel. Hotel doesn’t seem to realise water is life and really needed, but more concerned about making money on “water” selling the smallest bottles @ 3k - no big bottle on sale, rather than the welfare of guests. Ideally each room should have a complimentary bottle of water provided after cleaning daily then you can charge for subsequent orders. Nearly died of thirst but hotel wasn’t interested. Please do better. Also got woken up by staff ringing the room phone incessantly until I roused, to ask for a 6k payment which came about coz they provided 2sodas when I asked for water… they couldn’t wait till I woke up n showed myself at reception, they had to wake me up despite knowing I just came back up to the hotel in the early hours from a night out! Had to drop the call and tell them where to shove it as I hadn’t checked out and will settle bills at time of checkout and dropped back to sleep

AustraliaBecause of its proximity to central Kampala, it can be tricky for drivers to get in and out - this a ‘double edged sword’ if you want to stay in central Kampala.
The price is modest given the sizable and very comfortable rooms. All the staff are friendly, helpful and go out of their way to look after you - from reception, to the restaurant staff, the laundry staff and cleaning. Highly recommended if you want to stay in the heart of Kampala.

GermanyDue to their central location in the heart of the downtown market area, it starts to get very noisy by 8 or 9 am. Windows help to muffle the sound a little, but it’s hard to sleep beyond that. I still think that it is OK, because you would need to get up early to enjoy the city. I liked that I was near the bus terminal and the taxi park.
It was clean and comfortable. Very friendly and considerate staff, and excellent breakfast.

United KingdomThe location is right in the city center which may not be what you're looking for in Kampala as it means being overlooking the busiest market here and a lot of noise. It also makes it difficult to get transport in and out due to the congestion. The hotel facilities are minimal at the moment. The gym on the top floor hasn't been equipped yet, and while the food was good when I ordered it from the restaurant at dinner time it took a very long time to arrive. If they can improve the facilities on offer and work more on the restaurant it will be a lot better. This is a relatively new hotel location so I can understand that these things take time.
Very good staff. I extended my stay for a total of 12 days and I never had exactly the same breakfast twice. The manager knew my name without me telling him. Housekeeping did a good job of cleaning every day. Sufficient security.
