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...).

KenyaThe furniture & Fixtures were old. I didn’t have a fridge in my room for first 2 days. The safe was to be opened by the manager only so I didn’t keep my valuables in the safe.
The location is perfect. The food was fresh & enough for all guests.

KenyaThe breakfast and dinner food variety is a bit limited but what is available is quite adequate. The staff are friendly and requests made to prepare the available foods in a certain way is promptly executed.
The room was clean and spacious. Our request to have a hair dryer and some additional shower gels were promptly attended to. The very friendly housekeeping staff, Ray and Kazungu, were always happy to help. Their swimming pool is one of their best features and the attendant, Frank, makes every activity worth it. The grounds are well maintained and the complementary madafu (coconut water) served as you chill was very welcome. Amos, one of the ground staff, even took the time to tell us more about the palm trees. For breakfast and dinner, the variety is a bit limited but what is available is adequate.

KenyaAs a guest who values punctuality, it would be greatly appreciated if the breakfast service could be more aligned with the advertised schedule 7.a.m.
The quality and variety of the food were impressive, and the flavors were absolutely delicious. The chef and kitchen staff deserve praise for their culinary skills and attention to detail.

KenyaFood on the buffet often isn't re-filled in time. Food and drink orders from the pool or sea front can take a very long time. Only instant coffee available.
Nice setup with a big pool, many kids around so our son found some playmates easily. Free swim training available for both kids and adults. They don't have a problem if you sometimes bring own food and even warm it for you.
