Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

EgyptThere was no long stay discounted rate , I was willing to go forward and complete my 6 weeks stay in Dar Es Salaam in the same hotel, but they didn't give me a good rate, and instead it was calculated with a higher rate than Booking.com
The staff were really friendly and understanding, the apartment was very comfortable and I'd stay for more except it was over my budget and there was no long stay discounted rate.

United KingdomThe staff team were 1st class, very attentive , caring, professional, and approachable . The team paid attention to the small details to ensure things went smoothly. The location was very safe and clean with good choices for meals at different times of the day the pricing of services was very good. Danny (a member of the front desk team )helped me to amend my booking at short notice on 2 occasions, which was excellent customer service he also proved me great value for money .

GermanyThere were few things that were not very enjoyable during my stay: One was the noise, depending on where your room is, there are some noise that can penetrate into the room. That's the one thing that really affected my stay. Also the gym was very tiny and for someone like me that likes to workout, it was not the best place to workout.
The hotel looks good and is located in a nice place in Masaki. The personell were very helpful and kind and always responded to any of my request.

SwedenThe rooms are a bit worn, and there was a strong cigarette smell in the room, although the hotel is smoke-free.
The staff is outstanding. Very sweet and service minded. Both the receptionists and the restaurant staff. The breakfast is good, and so were the meals that we had. The pool area is also very nice. Good and well equipped gym.

in its day this hotel must have been amazing, that being said it is a cool facility which didnt feel like the photos though. Where it failed to overwhelm it more than made up for with its amazing staff
