Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwitzerlandJust a small recommendation but it's only my taste. The rooms are nice and big it could need a little bit more decoration like pictures at the wall. But just a small thing.
Mbuyuni Beach Village is beautifully situated in the green. The complex is an oasis to relax and the accommodation is very well maintained and the pool invites you to relax. The breakfast consists of fresh fruit, toast, egg of your choice and a delicious fresh fruit juice. It is located between Paje and Jambiani, so especially in the evening when it is dark you are dependent on a means of transport, which can be organized by the hotel. The bungalows are very large and spacious. We had a very nice and relaxing stay. We would come back anytime.

United States of AmericaBreakfast is appreciated, but offering a little variety ( even just 2 options to select from) would be a nice addition!
A really nice property right on the beach. The room was simple but the fan was sufficient to keep it cool. The restaurant offers lots of food choices and there was always a vegetarian option available for us. The pool is quite nice and has lots of shaded areas to sit in around it. The property never felt crowded and you could always find a quiet place to relax and enjoy the view. The property isn't " close" to either village ( Jambiani or Paje) so it is quieter, but it also means that if you do want to go to town, it's about a 40 minute walk. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

CanadaThe food was amazing and the breakfast had lots of fresh fruit and juice every morning. The location was perfect, views of the beach everywhere. The pool was a nice bonus. They have very nice seats along the beach to rest and relax in, either in the shade or in the sun. I would highly recommend this place as a relaxing, quiet, and great costumer service spot. The staff were wonderful.

United KingdomMbuyuni has amazing grounds. We enjoyed having places to relax by the ocean including beds by the beach in a cove. It’s a very comfortable environment day and night to relax. And then they feed you😀….I loved my time. The food had me eating 3 meals a day. The service from the team was very well coordinated. The staff I liked as they made for such a calm peaceful atmosphere. I didn’t have to chase for anything. Their service was on point. The location is away from the populated beaches so I cannot wait to come back be it to stay or for food and a calm relaxing afterboon. Thanks for making my stay memorable. I’ll be back.

Super chill vibe, extremely friendly staff, good food, right next to the sea, not a lot of beach boys, just the right place to relax :)

Germany- Swimming in the sea is not super easy because there are a few rocks in the sea. However, you can still swim on some tides or easily walk to a strip without rocks within 5 minutes - Don’t expect European hotel standards. Everything is well-maintained but still it’s not a 4-star hotel - The water in the pool seems clean but the pool walls are a little worn so that the pool water does look dirty on first sight
- Friendly and very helpful staff who speak good English - Beautiful location right on a really nice and uncrowded beach (no comparison to Paje where you are bothered to buy stuff every few minutes) - Plenty of comfy sun loungers, even directly on the beach - Rooms are spacious, there are mosquito nets on the beds and there is a shower with hot water and really good water pressure! You can book with or without AC - Outstanding value for money
