Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United Kingdom¬ No hot water, but it was warm enough to have a shower; ¬ Bit confusing information about AC on booking com website - it says that room is with AC, when you look closer - you will find out that you have to pay to use AC. Works bit tricky way. ¬ Also, when you book room it says - no need credit card details, but same time you can read: particular days before arrival your credit card will be charged. ¬ In booking confirmation says I have breakfast included - person who is managing this property explained how much is breakfast cost. STILL THIS PROPERTY IS GOOD CHOICE IN COTONOU>
Located in Cocotiers area, a walking distance to the airport.

SwedenBiggest drawback is that the default rooms don't have AC (even if the description says overwise) and it requires extra 5k/night for it. Even if promised, the breakfast was never provided even 1h after the previously decided upon time.
The place is very well located close by to the airport, Super U and several other activities in Cotonou. The rooms are confortable and the staff is nice. The Wi-Fi was strong.

DenmarkSome distance from the big market. One or two rooms with shared bathrooms.
This is a very nice place situated in the Embassy part of the city. Very close to the airport. A big supermarket is just around the corner as well. The restaurant serves really nice food and staff is very welcoming. specially the manager was knowledgeable and helpful with good English capabilities. All in all a place that I would recommend and be delighted to return to.

SwitzerlandOnly 2 toilets and one shower for all guests with shared bathroom. There was not always toilet paper, what in my opinion would be a requirement for shared bathrooms. Also the lock on the door on the shared shower-bathrool did not work.
Very good value for money and good location. Close to the airport. Good internet. There was a mosquito net (with two holes though). Overall happy with my stay.

Clean and safe. Well located near the airport and a large, well-stocked supermarket. Large room with fan & mosquito net. Large en suite bathroom. Friendly staff, and a good breakfast available for a small extra charge (including real coffee & fresh mango).

IndiaThe pre payment of the booking before arrival. This wasn't mentioned while booking or in the descriptions. All of a sudden, I get a message(1 week prior of my arrival) from the host highlighting a transfer to a German bank account, although I felt something fishy, it was taken care by the host when I mentioned that I was in Togo. Communication could be improved to avoid any misunderstandings. Also, while i was there, the key of my door( my room)broke, which offoucrse was not my problem because I didnot internationally break it and neither the host's problem however the host and his receptionist had an unnecesary argument with me early in the morning regarding property damage and demanding money for the lock. I didn't pay at the end. Anyways, please take additional care while using the items to avoid such situations Breakfast could be improved. Instead of butter and jam, a simple breakfast with bread and eggs could do.
Clean and tidy place. The guesthouse is in a secured place. A massive supermarket close by. WiFi is strong. The common area is big as well. Rooms are big with windows and sunlight. Breakfast is basic, bread jam butter and coffee/tea.

BeninThe manager was extremely rude and unhelpful. What was advertised as 2 rooms with a shared bath, turned out to be one room upstairs (for which he asked us to pay 5000 cfa extra for use of the air-conditioning), and an unkempt closet worthy of Harry Potter downstairs, with no fan or air-conditioning either. The shared facilities were also on the lower floor, meaning one would have to leave the upstairs room and go downstairs for a shower. Ridiculous.
Nothing.
