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.).

FranceEverything was perfect.
Wonderful place, very cheerful and welcoming staff. We felt like at home, the beach was less than 5 min away by walk, the hotel had its own staff on the beach with all needed equipment including sunbeds and towels. Very close from Diani supermarket and the main restaurants and bars. Would 100% come again !

Location and proximity to the beach. Safe and private room. A beautiful place with a clean swimming pool with great views and facilities. The staff were amazing and service top notch. Close to town so could walk to restaurants and shopping centre. Great for divers as it’s part of their service offering but also great for non divers.

United KingdomNot much really. There's no restaurant so you need to go out for dinner which means taking a tuk-tuk unless you are very comfortable walking in Kenya after dark - but they are cheap and very plentiful so it's no big deal.
Beautiful place at a good price. Looks just like in the photos. Very friendly staff, delicious breakfast, one minute walk to the beach. The dive school is also recommended. On my second day, they recognised I was more experienced than the rest of the day's divers and so they sent an extra dive guide along to give me a private trip to the Alpha Funguo wreck, which was a fantastic dive site.

JapanI spent wonderful days here! The architecture is beautiful, all the stuff are very nice, and the access to the white sand beach is very easy. There are wonderful restaurants in walking distance. The breakfast at the village is amazing! I especially loved the homemade pineapple jam, so I bought a bottle of it. I was able to see various kinds of monkeys. They are so cute!!

United KingdomNothing jumps out. I really did have a great time. The only difficulty I had was in finding the location off the main road. I think this is mostly due to arriving very late and if I had booked earlier I would have been better prepared.
Where to start. GREAT EXPERIENCE. *Check-in* I arrived late in the evening as I booked the room last minute and they were just closing their admin for the day. Still though, the welcome was great. I had had a nightmare day with other accommodations that I had to cancel so it was a relief to see friendly faces and get a freshly squeezed juice :) *The room - part 1* I stayed for 3 nights, the first of which was in a regular double room, the 2nd and 3rd nights were in the safari tent. Starting with the regular room. This was great, the bed was very big and very comfortable. The shower is saltwater which was actually fine, I could barely tell the difference. The room itself has a very calm, relaxed feel about it. There is a stocked fridge with fresh water and other drinks, lots of plug sockets etc, and a very good mosquito net over the bed. *The room - part 2* For nights 2 and 3, I stayed in the Safari tent which was amazing. It is a self contained solid housetent close to the beach. Once again the bed was huge and comfortable, with a great mosquito net. There are two single beds in there also - probably great for families sharing the same space. The bathroom / pantry room is quite big, with plenty of space on the dressing surface, shelves, a fridge and kettle. There is a large terrace with dinner table with beach view through some trees, this also includes a day bed. One thing to look out for is not to leave food on the table because the monkeys will have it! They're not aggressive at all though, just cheeky and opportunistic, and very cute *SCUBA Diving* I hadn't intended to do any diving at all but I bumped into some of the instructors and they talked me through what was available. I went for the very reasonably priced beginner experience (165eu for 3 dives, one in the pool to learn the equipment, then two at sea off the boat). I loved all three. *Staff* I've run out of space but everyone was amazing. Breakfast was sensational too.

FranceThe pressure of the flushing of the water in the toilet was really bad... The water in the swimming pool isn't very transparent, so I didn't have the occasion to swim in it. There is no lunch or diner possibility at the hotel. You must take a tuktuk or walk on the beach, which is unsafe for a solo travelling women in the evening... But you have a kitchen in the room so you may buy food before at the market and eat at the room.
The staff, especially the breakfast staff and the bar attendant were amazing ! The garden is beautiful with some monkeys visiting daily. The room has AC and a mosquito net. The direct access to the beach leads to the most beautiful place !!!

Poland-
This place is a true gem! Located near the beach, with private beach access (and also comfortable sunbeds), which is guarded by a security guy, also the entrance to the premises is straight from the main street- you don’t need to wander through the bushes and darkness (which happens in other Diani resorts), you just go through the gate (also guarded by a security guy), and you are in the beautiful resort right away. The room was spacious, clean and had all of the needed equipment (towels, AC, fans, bottled water for brushing your teeth, fridge, place to dry your clothes, mosquito net etc.). There’s an amazing patio, where you can just lay back and relax. The staff was A M A Z I N G, especially: Katherine- even though the breakfasts were 11/10, she made it even better, she’s such a lovely, helpful person, sunshine in a human form :); Abdulla- so helpful, easy-going and nice guy, always ready to keep you safe from the monkeys, if they decide to steal your snack ;); Edwin- super-professional, also helpful and just a really nice guy. The premises are in excellent standard, everything is clean and comfortable. The pool is just the cherry on top ;) Very good location, nearby the supermarket and some good restaurants, and once again- VERY VERY SAFE. Our stay at the Diani Marine was a true relaxing experience and a definition of holidays went well :)
