Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

UkraineThe biggest minus for me was path to the beach, rubish everywhere, bad smell, not enough lights if you walk in the night
Very friendly staff. Nice Pool. 5 min walk from the beach. Nearest beaches are very beautiful. You can order lunch and evening meal for reasonable price. You have to be ready it is not like 3 stars in Europe.

TurkeyWhat I did not like is that it's not up to the property. On the beach the hundreds of sellers from the souvenir shops. Something should be done for less sales contact. Almost to get 50 times a day sales put this is more than too much.
Staff very friendly and helpful, almost on the spot. . The beach is very close and clean. Just 3 minutes to walk to the beach. Hotel employee Recap, Jakup Huseyin Manager and Restaurant staff was also very friendly and clean like the food. Very clean pool, blankets and sheets in the room and towels very good. Flora from the Spa with her good service and moderate prices are absolutely recommended. Around the Hotel a lot of markets and food and spirit shop options with good prices.

United States of AmericaMy daughter in law would have really liked some blankets for the beds. We did not know we had to bring our own soap and shampoo, it would have helped to know that.
The ground were well kept and indeed the gardens beautiful. I like that the villages were quiet. At times we heard the disco music from the bigger hotels which were right next door. That was not nice but it is not the fault of Kigwede Villas I liked the leisurely breakfast experience with no rush. I really like how they helped us to book the snorkeling tour and our taxis back to the airport. That worked out very smoothly, punctually and economically.

HungaryWorn walls, limescale tap, old doors where big ants came into the room but wasn't so disturbing because there was a net above bed.
The beach was only few steps and there were 2 road too, one from the main gate, one from back side. Big room with spacious bathroom. Lot of space your things to do (3 beds for 2 person). Breakfast was enough and fine.

Ukraine- Masai at the security was rude! When I came back to the hotel after friends meeting (around 8:30 pm) , nobody was at the gates, so I had to open gate door by myself. Then masai, who was sitting together with guests!! came to me arguing that if I opened the door, I must close it. What??? Shall I do the job of hotel security, while he is doing nothing but sitting with tourists? Sorry, that I disturbed him from not doing his job - I was surprised that at the evening I wanted to buy something at the hotel (drinks and snacks), but nobody offered even a water - at the room description there supposed to be mini bar and a kettle. When I got the room, nothing was there. Yes, the room was changed, but mini bar was in such disgusting conditions inside... can't imagine, how people could store something in it (I saved some photos) First time I saw such terrible conditions of amenities at the hotel. Well, as for the kettle - a hotel staff brought it to the room, but how do I suppose to make a tea without even a cup?
Location is ok Bathroom was well renovated and pleasant Good WiFi

Saudi ArabiaIf you seek, you will always find what is wrong, but I like to focus on beautiful things.
Thank you, Kigwedeni team, we had a wonderful time at your place. Comfortable and cozy accommodation, cleaning every day, changing towels and bed linen every other day. Breakfast was terrific, a generous plate of delicious fruit, eggs in several ways, pancakes, and more. The villas are located not far from the beach, a 3-4 minute walk through the Masai market. Although we carried in our backpack everything we needed for that day and left after breakfast and returned to the room after dinner because there is so much to see and visit nearby. It's foolish to stay in overpriced hotels that open onto the beach when the beach is the same for everyone. The sand is beautiful, so you don't even need sunbeds. Kigwedeni fulfilled all our expectations and the friendly Masai at the gate always welcomed us with a smile on his face and with Hakuna Matata.
