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...).

CroatiaThe same what I liked: privacy and quietness means that if you're a kitesurfer there usually won't be other kitesurfers to launch and land your kite😂.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fantastic stay in a big, cozy ground floor apartment with a private pool. While property had everything needed for a VERY comfortable stay, the absolute highlight are the hospitable people, starting from Fiona who came to the airport to private chef and five star cleaners. ✅Perfect location if you like more privacy and quietness. ✅New high quality building with backup electricity. ✅The beach is usually empty and away from crowds, only a few local fishermen and unavoidable beach boys. ✅Private swimming pool surrounded by greenery, tropical plants and trees with small monkeys. ✅5 min walk from several restaurants, shops, small market and 3 min Tuk-Tuk drive from supermarkets, 10 other restaurants and coffee shops.

FranceMhm... Let me think of it... Oh yah! nothing!!
We enjoyed very much our time at Fiona's place. The location and value for money are excellent. Fiona and her team are always here to help you, with daily cleaning and daily laundry (and even a chef if you fancy it). You have everything you need to stay there, from bathroom to kitchen amenities. Amazing encounter with white and black colobus, who literally quietly eat their leaves a few metres from you, as well as with the Sykes monkeys, a bit more naughty - mind your windows!

KenyaFiona the host is a very nice, friendly and welcoming lady. She picked us up from the airport and dropped us off on our way back. The staff was very nice as well and they have a chef who's very good at what he does. We enjoyed his food so much. The place is very nice , clean , in a quiet environment and has a small private pool if you just want to chill at home, or the beach which is only a few meters walk. There is different restaurants around and the shopping center is not very far away.. 100% recommend this place.

GermanyOur host Fiona was very friendly and accommodating. She is a warm-hearted person and had lots of great tips and insider information for us. The location of the house is excellent and it is also equipped with loving details. There were more of everything than needed, whether water, towels or dishes. It's a perfect place to stay for a nice and relaxing time with family and friends in a safe area. I would highly recommend her place to anyone who wants vistit Diani Beach.

Germany- beds weren‘t that comfortable for us ( maybe we’re both to heavy) - maybe a tiny bit expensive for what you get
- Fiona is such a nice host and always available - she creates maps ( from Nationalparks, Kenya, Diani Beach etc) which are amazing and absolutely stunning - the poolhouse is quite spacious and has everything you need ( a lot of fans which are strong and very useful against the heat), two beds, a kitchen etc. - the pool is nice and great to cool down - the staff is friendly - the beach is just 2 minutes away - we would recommend staying there :) - Fiona gave us a lot of recommendations for restaurants , massages, boat cruises etc. ( we couldn’t try them eventually, because of food poisoning from self bought food) - check in and check out was flexible ; we could check in a little bit earlier and check out a little bit later than usual ( thank you again for that :) )

SwedenIt’s called pool house The pool is a 5 meter short pool The cleaning / circulating pump was not on for 24 hours - owner saved electricity and shout down during nights and days. Water was dirty. unhealthy in the pool Showers did not work properly. It barely come out some water, not a regular shower. So in total if you are looking for a pool house do not book this.
Staff was good.

AustraliaNo TV ! No safe ! No sofa ! Lack of room security - had to leave the room key outside ! I only left my room for short periods. Overall complex was gated which improved overall security. Lack of privacy - no window covering on one of the bedroom and kitchen windows. The owner using the apartment pool (yes she did ask; but how could a guest say no). My opinion - she should have known not to ask- it was extremely intrusive. Insects galore especially the huge bull ants - not sure how you control that part of nature - bio friendly pest control maybe. Bathroom shower and surrounds need to be regrouted - maybe ingrained black mould over time but otherwise clean. Internet was slow, not good for streaming, might just be an area problem since the connection was via a telephone line. This is an airbnb (3 apartments + owners apartment), The feeling was the owner constantly checking on you with lots of house rules not akin to a hotel stay. I felt it was over priced at around USD70 per night for what you got- but it would not be difficult to make some changes that would improve the overall experience and value.
The location was good; not far to the shops. Located adjacent to the beach. The house staff were lovely and very helpful. The small pool was nice. Staff would wash, dry and iron your clothes which was great.

KenyaThe host was fantastic. She provided all relevant information before our arrival including taxi services, nearby restaurants with their menus, watersports, excursions and other activities available. The host met us on arrival and gave us a tour of the property, introduced her chef and house keeper, who were also very friendly and ready to keep the place clean and make our preferred meals when we needed, although we preferred to explore the various restaurants nearby. Overall, my family enjoyed staying at Bella Seaview and will definitely want to stay there again.
