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...).

FranceThe food at the restaurant is very expensive and honestly not very good quality. To hire a car and driver they also quote very high prices, I was able to find much cheaper by looking elsewhere. I think overall the value for money at this place is a little high for what you get. There also aren’t many vegan friendly options at breakfast
The guesthouse is located in a beautiful place with views of a tea plantation. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is basic and small but it’s comfortable enough and there’s hot water in the shower.

FranceNo alcohol on site (not even a beer) as it is run by the Anglican church of Rwanda, the restaurant hall is gloomy and the food is so so.
Mosè, the on-site manager, was very helpful. The views over the hilly tea plantations directly from the rooms are breathtaking

MoroccoOne small thing to note: since the room doesn’t get a lot of direct sunlight, I did notice a bit of mold and a musty smell inside the wardrobe. Maybe the owner could consider a solution for this in the future
A perfect choice for accommodation in Gisakura, offering great value for money. The location is amazing—very quiet and surrounded by tea fields. The staff are friendly and welcoming, especially the manager, Musa, who is very helpful and attentive to his clients. The room was clean with good facilities, and the food was delicious. Highly recommended! I will definitely return when I'm in Gisakura again 👌🏻

South AfricaIsiah went out of his way to help me get a permit for the chimpanzees. Everyone working here goes out of their way to make you comfortable and attend to your needs. I read a review that there is no bedside light - I can confirm there are lights next to the bed. They even provide a toothbrush and toothpaste for you. I am solo female traveler and felt very safe on my second night there. Thank you everyone at this guest house for all that you do. Appreciate it.

FranceThe room (and dinner room) decoration is quite "cold". Could be improved to make the room more cosy, more "lodge-like" (even for a place run by a church if I understood well)
The show given in the evening by a music/dance school was fantastic! The place is well located closed to Park exit and tea plantation.

SwitzerlandBathroom could have been a little cleaner but it was acceptable; if they could provide shampoo and conditioner that would be greatly appreciated by many travellers.
Great location for Nyungwe National Park; no traffic noise as it is off the road and faces the tea plantations and forest; staff friendly and super-helpful; rooms clean with enormous beds and toothbrushes/toothpaste provided as well as soap. Even though they are a Christian lodge that serves no alcohol - they allowed us to bring in a bottle of wine from across the road at Chimpanzee Lodge that we enjoyed on our patio (not allowed in restaurant). They even kept it cold for us!
