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...).

PortugalWould expect to have less noisy AC and would love to see in a next visit the shower being served by a solar water heater.
The property is awsome for a 3 days stay, with lots of space in the chosen room and the type of accomodation not being a high-rise building.

FranceVery comfortable hotel located in a vineyard. We made a last minute booking and arrived while the hotel team had their Christmas event. Therefore the atmosphere was very friendly with kids playing around and a bit hectic as the hotel was working in minimum mode so its employees could enjoy this moment (so hectic here is not to be understood as a bad thing, it is totally fair and nice that the hotel's team is having their Christmas moment). Yet, we were welcomed and taken care of very nicely, and we were even given a room upgrade to compensate for the fact that the hotel was not in full mode that evening (for instance the restaurant was closed to clients as the hotel's team event was taking place there). Still, later after the event while the employees were busy cleaning and preparing everything for the restaurant to be back to clients the day after, a lady was there to make me taste the wine so I could buy a few bottle from the estate. We had to leave extremely early on the morning and we just left the key in the room, but so we could not enjoy the breakfast there. Just a word of caution: if, like us, you need to take the first morning train to Dar leaving shortly after 5, make sure to have the hotel arrange a driver for you. We arranged it on our own through Bolt but the driver never showed up. We had anticipated the possibility so we had enough time to walk to the train station, which is 2km away. But googlemap is not yet updated (as of December 2024) to account for the brand new railway, so the itinirerary it suggests to walk to the train station is no longer valid. We had to find our own way in the night, it was a bit stressfull but we made it (fun memory afterwards :) ). So just to be sure: walking from Domiya to the train station is totally doable, just make sure to clear the itinerary with the hotel staff before ! (And keep a safe buffer of 30-40 minutes to walk the way)

AustraliaThe natural surroundings, gardens and vineyard. The comfortable outdoor seating around the restaurant was a lovely way to relax
Dominya Estate exceeded our expectations, from the pickup at the airport to the friendly staff and service of meals we were very safe and comfortable. The restaurant staff were very friendly and polite to give us time to talk about our plans during our stay. We had a memorable stay and not hesitate in choosing this property when we return one day. Thank you for organising our transfer to and from the airport, this was a great relief.

United StatesThe location is a bit remote and road a bit roughy but this is to be expected. The property itself, is good. I do prefer the rooms along the entrance rather than the older rooms. But comfortable just the same.
Small boutique hotel with lots of potential. I can see the management and owner trying to get the staff up to speed, means they care about the business and success. So I greatly appreciate the effort. Staff still has some learning curve and attention to details but they are putting in effort and have a great attitude. I would definitely recommend it for a Dodoma stay.

ZambiaThe rooms are near the kitchen/herb garden and there is quite a lot of noise from staff. The room was small and needs maintenance. The bed had a foam mattress and the linen was old. The paint was peeling on the walls. The pool also needs maintenance.
