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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

IrelandThe shower was always cold and there was no shower gel or shampoo on offer. They were out of stock of some alcohol, so could not make any cocktails.
We enjoyed our time at African Dream Cottages, the lounge area, pool and surrounding gardens are beautufilly maintained by the helpful & hardworking staff. Our super comfy cottage was great, huge bed, handy kitchenette, great aircon and fan, big bathroom, authentic interior design featuring African art.

KenyaMy friend was treated terribly when he checked in. His flight to Diani landed later than ours. He was checked into a cottage by reception then the white lady owner came with security and forcibly removed him as he was resting. Instead of doing a confirmation with the reception, she decided to remove him due to what she termed as a 'mixup'.
We loved the cottages and the swimming pool. The cocktails were really good too.

United StatesNeeds better and newer pillows and nicer bedsheets. The bedsheet was very thin and too small for the bed. The bed should be made before travellers arrive.
I loved the place. Unfortunately I only stayed 2 nights, I was meeting friends at another place. The room is nicely decorated and offers kitchen facilities with a fridge, cooking utensils and a stove . Everything was very clean. There are also beach/pool towels. There is a table outside with 4 chairs to enjoy meals out. Although, like in any place tropical place there are mosquitos! The pool was absolutely gorgeous and so fun to enjoy. Really worth it. If you don;t want to cook or go out to eat there is a restaurant. I would definitely go back.

EthiopiaThe rooms weren’t cleaned every day (mainly the bin wasn’t emptied and the bed wasn’t made). But after 3 days I asked for it to be done and it was done immediately. I think it was an oversight because the hotel was busy.

United KingdomAccommodation was dated and in need of some maintenance. Beds were extremely hard and just a thin sheet over the mattress (without an under layer) which I thought a bit unhygienic. There wasn’t really a full restaurant service so advise guests to eat out.
Fabulous pool and gardens. Very safe and secure. Staff were great. Nice atmosphere. Good breakfast and bar service. Very relaxing stay.
