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 KingdomIt’s a difficult property to find - the location on booking.com is a bit different to the actual location (the host has raised this with booking.com and is trying to change), this made it really difficult to locate via uber so we had a complicated journey late at night trying to find it. Carolyne was really helpful though and there is the option of her organising transport if preferred. The bathroom window had been left open when we arrived and there were lots of mosquitos! But the door to the bedroom had been kept closed and the mosquito net around the bed was good.
Comfortable bed, very friendly host. In a gated community. Not far from the airport - about 20mins - so convenient for long lay-overs.

ZambiaThe shared bathroom was rather small with an instant heater showerhead. Rather minimal but it worked well.
Very brief lay-over. Had to start off early in the morning. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, the room was small but adequate. It's a neat little place with all essential conveniences.

ItalyThe space so little but for one night, absolutely it isn’t a problem. The accomodation is at 3 km far from airport but the round to reach it is about 13 km. There were a lot of mosquitos but maybe iIt was our fault for leaving the window open during the day.
The Host was helpful and kind. The bathroom and the room, very clean. Good price. Clean and tidy park with excellent guard and security system.

Costa Rica1. Directions for how to get to the property from the airport on the site meant that it was difficult for Uber and myself to figure out.
1. Staff were great - they explained everything to me on arrival and the check-in process was easy. 2. The room was very clean and met expectations. 3. The location meant that it wasn't far from the airport as I was staying for a layover. I would definitely use this again for the same purposes.

NetherlandsCommute to location took longer than expected (1.5 km from airport but took a 14km uber drive to get there from the airport terminal - might have been due to a road closure. Not sure about this)
Based in a gated community, felt very safe, close to the airport and staff was very friendly. Overall a modest establishment which was perfectly fine for us but might not be for everybody's taste. Price & quality are on par. Feels very much like being welcomed in a home vs in a hotel

United StatesAfter traveling 30 hours and arriving almost three hours late Mamu's was a welcome place to lay our heads. Karoline waited up for us and immediately saw us to our room. It had everything we needed to get some rest before we started our adventure the next day. She made us breakfast that was delicious!

United KingdomFurther from the airport than expected. The taxi to and from was $20 USD, which was a bit of a surprise. The welcome was not unkind, but it didn't make be feel very welcome either. I didn't feel comfortable ordering an Uber eats for dinner, which was the only option, so just had some nuts that I'd brought with me and went to bed. It served the purpose as a place to sleep on my long stopover between flights, but I wouldn't want to stay any longer.
It was ok. It was inexpensive. I felt relatively safe. It was pretty clean. The shower was weak but it worked. It was quite quiet and the hosts were professional and efficient. The taxi arranged by the hosts was efficient, the driver kind, and arrived on time in the morning.

BelgiumSituated inside a gated community, once I found the place, the security staff gave me hard times before letting me through, as the landlady did not answer my calls.
Quiet, near a shopping center and near the international airport.

GermanyBeware of hidden costs. We only booked the hotel because we arrived at the airport as two women at 3 a.m. and the description said that an airport shuttle was included. We were picked up and taken to the apartment, which is in a gated community. There we were then charged 20$ for the transfer, which only took 5 minutes. With an Uber it wouldn't even have been 3$. The apartment itself was clean and as in the pictures. Breakfast is also not included and is charged extra for 12$, also different than described. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
