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...).

KenyaWe had the most peaceful holiday in a serene and quiet hideaway the kind of place where you can truly disappear and no one can find you. The pool was just by the side, calm and inviting, perfect for a refreshing.

KenyaI liked the quiet, peaceful clean environment away from the urban chaos. The place is located in a serene environment and the people here are friendly. I must visit the place again, I was just trying out places for a short vacation and happened to book this unit. It was great and would highly recommend.

The room was big, tastefully decorated and so clean. There was a knob for hot water in the shower (pleasant surprise) The distance from the airport is short (Maybe 30min) The pool was clean. Most importantly the staff. Damaris called me before I was due to come, organised airport pickup, food orders/delivery.

FranceThe villa is a little far from the center of Malindi
The house is beautiful, comfortable, welcoming. The bedroom was clean, big and well protected from mosquitoes. The breakfast is really delicious, a mix of Kenyan and western style. The villa is close to the beach and the marine park for snorkeling.

KenyaOur toilet had an issue, flashing it was giving us a bit of trouble.
Villa Fortuna was amazing. The calm environment, trees, the breeze, the pool which was always clean and since there were few visitors around we were allowed to swim at night which we did everyday during our stay. The staff were really nice, from the gateman to the housekeeper. Breakfast was top notch. We were always looking forward to mornings because of their breakfast 🤭😂. The rooms are spacious, always cleaned in the morning, bedsheets and towels changed too. Damaris.. I want to say thank you for having us and welcoming us to your home. Blessings on blessings to you and your family .

RomaniaA bit far from everything except Malindi Marina so it's good to find a reliable transportation / tuk-tuk driver. The owner of the house hardly changed two words with us.
Very beautiful villa with a great terrace and access to a shared pool in a complex of villas. Breakfast was excellent and each day it was different. You can get cold beers, sodas or water from the reception. The room was very nice and clean.

The place felt like home, great location with a perfect ambiance and easily accessible to motorbikes and tuktuks though they might tend to overcharge you so it's best to ask someone from around the pricings then move easily. Damaris is such a great host and the breakfast was incredible. Will definately book my next stay here in Malindi😊.

CanadaThe room/bed had a bit of a musty smell but I don't think that can be helped with the high humidity... it was super clean so it wasn't a worry at all. It would be nice to get a receipt of payment, but I didn't ask for anything, so that's on me.
The breakfast was great and huge! Rose was super attentive :) They were really helpful in finding the spot and has quick responses when I was unsure. They also helped me to organize a snorkeling trip! It's a really quiet spot Clean and chill
