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.).

MalawiTransport to Xai Xai town is expensive if you don't have a car.
Excellent service with lots of attention to detail. Well managed. Friendly staff. Very good location for families with children. I chose it for the gym, the rock pools on the beach for young kids and the fact that it has self-catering units. We will come back!

South AfricaEverything was in place
Zona Braza was immaculate. One cannot but notice the owners take big pride in there lodge. Nothing out of place. We stayed in Caza 4 with a fantastic view, with a sea breeze coming threw. We did not spot one misquito. Outdoor shower amazing, nobody can see in. The bar on the beach with Gazebo is a must. 3 Swimming pools clean with pool chairs and cushions. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, not to mention there ZOOTI uniforms. For breakfast, i really enjoyed the Muesli and Breakfast wrap. One can only but notice a professional lanscaper did the gardens. I Winsome Vosloo highly recommend Zona Braza.

GermanyA beautiful place with a breathtaking view. Cabins are very nice and you can see that a lot of work and love was put in by building Zona Braza Beach Lodge. This place is perfect if you just want to relax and enjoy long beach walks in beautiful dunes. The massage on the deck with the sound of waves and birds is also an experience you should not miss. The owners were very helpful with recommendations where else to go in Mozambique. We will definitely come back.

South AfricaI didn't like the long walks to the restaurant, they ended up making us not to go for breakfast or any other thing to the bar and the fact that there is no WIFI in the villa was frustrating because we from a foreign country and need to communicate with family but that can only happen at the restaurant.
I liked that its a remote area and everything can be found in the property

South AfricaLiked everything. This is a nice spot, and I would definitely stay longer next time.
Absolutely awesome spot. Definitely more than just a one night stop over( unfortunately, we used it this time as a stop over) Perfect for self-catering, including a nice barbecue area(understandable only charcoal, neighbors had a massive fire recently) Restaurant also very nice option with excellent seafood and pizza. Lovely views from there and our unit 3. Road fine for 2x4.

South AfricaVendors from the beach walked right up to our unit in an attempt to sell seafood. This showed me little control applied by the lodge in this regard. It resulted in me having to unpack all removable items from my vehicle's roofrack and store it inside the vehicle not knowing whether these could be stolen off the vehicle at night
Everything was exceeding expectations

South AfricaI didn’t like the pillows. I didn’t like how there are 3 pools and they’re all so small.
The ocean view was breathtaking. I could see it from the villa, from the restaurant and pool deck. The sea food was out of this world. I ate the most delicious lobster, squid heads and prawns ever.

South AfricaThe beach bar was not open. The staff were always on their phones and we had to wait for them to finish phone calls to speak with them. The breakfast restaurant opened half hour late and we already thought a 7am breakfast start was a bit late for us. Chicken for dinner was very average. It would have been helpful to have all info about the lodge communicated to us upfront on check-in, such as wifi, beach bar hours, breakfast hours, what to do in the area, if anything etc.
The staff were happy & kind and it made the stay fun. The restaurant is beautifully decorated.

SwedenProviding a stable and constant WiFi in the lodges in addition to the restaurant only would be amazing.
Everything was just great, especially the staff, the location that is really beautifully made, and the surroundings. Great for swimming and diving at the Indian Ocean, and for chilling at the location. We stayed at the villa, very recommended, with direct access to the beach. Also recommendable: the SPA massage sessions.
