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...).

BulgariaWifi signal could be improved, but is was not a major issue at all.
Everything at the hotel was exceptional. Staff were amazing and impeccable . The rooms were really clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The buffet meals were really diverse, delicious and we found them excellent and didn't have the need to try the other restaurants. Beach was absolutely gorgeous- it didn't matter low or high tide, we could use it any time of the day. Absolutely recommend!

CanadaOur bed was terribly uncomfortable. Firm and creaked every time you moved even a finger.
Great pool and beach access. Our beach I thought was better compared to Riu Jambo and Zuri Zanzibar next door. The tides were not a big deal at all (? maybe time of the year). Good restaurants and customer service. You do have access to all Riu Jambo facilities.

First of all the resort is beautiful. The hospitality is better than we could ever imagine, all the staff were super nice, fast service and very helpful. It was our honeymoon and the hotel upgraded our room (which was absolutely stunning, with amazing view of the sunset). Also they prepared the bottle of champagne in our room which made us feel really special. The facilities were great, with lots of activities so you have plenty things to do or you can just relax on the beautiful sandy beach. They have a great scuba diving center where they offer diving courses and license, which was something we always wanted to try. The food was amazing - they offer plenty different dishes from cuisines all over the world and what really surprised us is that every day the dishes were completely different. On top of that you have 3 specialty restaurants where you can book a dinner 2 days in advance (however you have to be really fast with booking, because the spots fill very quickly). We had to leave in the middle of the night due to an early flight and the hotel offered us to prepare a lunch box for our trip back home. To conclude the hotel is definitely 10/10 and we would highly recommend it.

ZimbabweWe got irritated with the noisy music in the evenings. It was difficult to find a quiet spot. It was often a problem getting a golf cart, very necessary in the hot weather. There is a need to control the crows.
We were very impressed with the restaurants, especially the buffet. The beach was excellent. In fact, we could not fault the facilities. We were impressed with the gala dinner, not only the food but the staff put in the extra mile with the setting up of tables and decorations.
