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.).

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful 9-night stay at this hotel, including daily breakfasts. The hotel offers everything needed for a perfect vacation in Zanzibar. The grounds are beautifully maintained with a lovely garden and beach. The rooms are spacious, stylish, and cleaned thoroughly every day, with the added touch of the mosquito net being opened and closed each morning and evening. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. Fresh towels were always available at the beach and pool, and the hotel provides various activities during the day including kayaking and sea walking shoes (useful during the low tide). There's also convenient parking if you rent a car, though taxis are easily accessible. Breakfast was good, with enough variety, including good coffee, though it didn’t change much day to day. The on-site restaurant offers a mix of classic dishes and tasty Eastern cuisine, along with shisha and a wide range of alcoholic drinks. The waitstaff ware always welcoming and provided excellent service. We also found several local restaurants in the nearby village that offered fresh seafood at more affordable prices, as well as other dining options within a 15-30 minute drive. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday in Zanzibar.

SpainNothing. Everything was perfect.
We have stayed 6 nights in this hotel, and we can affirm that it was the best decision to spend our honeymoon trip. The welcoming is so warm and the receptionist brings detailed information about the different places of the resort. The room is perfect and the bed is so comfortable that it is not difficult to fall asleep. About the environment, it is in an ideal situation, access to the beach from the resort, it offers water sports and when the tide is low you can enjoy the sandbank. At the restaurant, the waiters give you personalized attention, they give us a ''sweet surprise'' for our wedding, and are always interested in you and your satisfaction with the service. All the waiters were very polite and funny but we will never forget the attention of Sabato, Raphael, Naftali, Hossam, Haji and Ursula. They made every meal perfect. Lastly, we want to recognize Hossam's work, who made sure that everything was perfect for the clients and workers. To sum up, if you plan to spend your holidays in Zanzibar, make sure to book in Lux Marijani Zanzibar.

UgandaThe only aspect I didn't like was the stones from the gate to the lobby entrance, which I thought weren't very attractive. Other than that, everything else about the property was wonderful.
The property was fantastic, and I loved every part of it. From the beautiful and well-maintained surroundings to the luxurious and comfortable rooms, everything was perfect. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring a delightful stay. The amenities, including the pool and dining options, were top-notch. Lux Marijani provided an outstanding experience that exceeded my expectations.

TanzaniaThe beach sands & waters are spectacular, but be wary of the gents relentlessly soliciting as you wade in the water.
Our stay at the hotel was overall lovely. The staff, in particular, offered attentive, friendly service (in particular Ali, Lucy, Abdul Ibrahim, and Yasmin) The one issue was that the curtains and mosquito nets were mouldy, but according to housekeeping, this was largely due to the nonstop rain and air conditioning.
