Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

South AfricaThe bathrooms were a bit dirty. For people who are staying a few of days, the menu is a bit limited and not very diverse.
The locations was amazing! The beach was something else with a stunning view! staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Really made the holiday extra special for us!

South Africa•Air conditioner did not work effectively, it made no difference. •Had no water in our apartment twice- Front desk arranged for us to freshen up in another room. This was disappointing as we had paid a lot to stay here. It was an inconvenience to move our things back and forth between rooms. •Room cleaning services knock and just open the door without waiting for our response. •Christmas dinner, forced to pay $30 per person excluding drinks, with no choice of ordering off the menu.
Easy access to the beach. Restaurant food was good. Private pool.

South AfricaWe had a couple of moments of rain and had to be indoors, there was nothing to do other than sit and wait for the weather to pass. A recommendation would be to offer TVs, microwave and fridge to assist during those times.
The staff were absolutely friendly and the lunch/dinner cook was amazing! The establishment is well kept, what you see in the photos are what you get.

RwandaIt was difficult getting room service as the room didn't not have a telephone in.
Food was always fresh, well prepared, and very delicious. The premises were neat but more diligence is needed- such as checking above the closets in the rooms to remove any refuse before customers check-in. Too much going on up there! Nevertheless, the high rise room was comfortable and met our expectations.

IsraelI’m very happy with my choice of the hotel . Very beautiful place , we were on all popular beaches of Zanzibar and I think that Kae beach definitely one of the beautiful beaches . Even when water is low tide is good place for swimming. Very kind service , we had a problem with the room and hotel manager solved it for us , even gave us upgrade of the rooms . All stuff was very kind and try to help us . The hotel has very nice restaurant and there are 3 more restaurants 5 minute walk from the hotel . I recommend the hotel !!! The best value for money !!!!

GermanyFrom Michamvi we expected at least some remnants of hippie flair, but it's gone. Kae Funk is meanwhile fully commercialised and huge appartment blocks are growing on the major part of the beach. Game over. Not the hotel to blame!
Kikoi is two steps from the beach and all in all everything is pretty much OK. The appartments are spacious and clean (if you don't dig too much in the details). For some reason I don't know we didn't really feel at home, so let's put the blame on Michamvi :)

Bulgariaone point down for only one thing but very important - the water in the bathrooms was salty.
Everything was just perfect and amazing! We felt like at home. Special thanks to Sara and Emanuel for the lovely welcoming and Bday decoration for one of our family members. There were not just apartments but private houses with great view to the palms garden and seaside... I highly recommend the food in the restaurant, the best we had comparing with the places around, and the staff is so nice and dedicated making guests' stay great! Don't miss to try the Seafood plate for two and the Sticky dates cake :)

South AfricaAmazing hotel, the pictures don’t do it justice. Friendly staff, special shout out to the best house keeper Doto- really appreciated his excellent service and hospitality. Loads of amazing restaurants nearby would definitely recommend the amazing food at the Trench Town restaurant (in the village, 5 mins walk from the hotel). Also all food is halal in the hotel and in all restaurants surrounding it as Zanzibar is 90% muslim.
