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...).

SwitzerlandThe bed and the pillow where a little bit too hard for my personal taste.
The staff was super friendly, everything was super clean and looks very well maintained, you can tell that they care and pay attention to all details of the place to make it feel comfortable. The breakfast is always super good, loots of nice and fresh choices. The transport to the beach is very convenient. They organised all the tours and excursions we needed very easily and convenient

SloveniaThe staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and often anticipated our needs before we even asked. The food was delicious, our villa modern, spacious and spotlessly clean, and the overall service top-notch. One of the highlights was the Swahili night, featuring fantastic local dishes and an unforgettable acrobat performance. We also treated ourselves to a relaxing massage during our stay— just what we needed after our safari adventures. Although not beachfront, the resort is just a short walk through Jambiani village to the sea, or you can take a shuttle to one of their partner beachfront properties, which are equally well-designed and welcoming. That said, we actually preferred the peaceful charm of the Oasis itself. We’d come back in a heartbeat—and in fact, we’re already planning our return in 2026!

NetherlandsThe beach is a 5 minute walk and it is not the best beach of Zanzibar, especially when the tide is low.
The staff! Everyone is so friendly, attentive and happy. There is really a good vibe. The food is good, the pools are great. We joined their buffet with a show of impressive acrobats. They partner with some other hotels on the beach with a free shuttle service. Jambiani is a friendly village.

United KingdomAmazing spacious villa, clean and well-equipped. The staff really went the extra mile to make our stay perfect - friendly, responsive to any needs we had and helpful in giving advice and guidance on the various things to see and do on the island. There is plenty of space outside for each of the guests to enjoy the loungers, pools, restaurant gym etc. You can use the sister hotels which are located on the beach so that adds the extra option of beachfront and other pools to enjoy.

A special mention to Alawi and Jaqalyn who looked after us and with whom we had many conversations. All the staff are a credit to the company. We look forward to returning and will highly recommend to our family and friends. Once again a massive thank you from John & Jane

GermanyThe bed is pretty hard. We didn’t say anything, because it is personal preference. If we had, I’m sure they would have come up with something to help us out
The staff is absolutely lovely. The pool and everything else very clean. Landscaping beautiful and inviting to relax. The villas are very nice. It’s not right at the beach, but offers free shuttle bus to 3 of their sister hotels

SpainLoved everything! Even when I mentioned the mattresses were too hard, they brought a softer mattress topper! So no everything perfect!
I really can't fault this property, everything was truly exceptional, the ambience, environment, location (although we hired a car to get around, you can still walk to the beach and only 5 mins to Paje in a taxi if you want more life), the villas were gorgeous, the staff were exceptional in their friendliness and service, the food was lovely, good cocktails and nothing overpriced, we didn't get a chance this trip to take advantage of their access to their other resorts which looked amazing too but we will next time. We come to Zanzibar fairly regularly and we will definitely return here time and time again!

FranceMain thing we did not like was not being able to enjoy breakfast as it gets full of bees flying around, at least in Feb when we were there. Nevertheless you can still ask them to bring it to your villa. Other smaller points: shampoo missing, hairdryer also not there. TV not working well (we could not download prime nor cast). Finally very small detail but around 7/8pm a lady was coming by to spray anti mosquito in your room, a bit annoying if you are chilling there.
We had an amazing stay, the villa is very spacious, comfy and new. The place offers everything you need: laundry service, grocery list (you can order your own ingredients just like if it was a supermarket), gym (we enjoyed it a lot, simple but enough cardio machines and weights, all new equipment), daily room service, massages (very good!) and shuttle to the other 2 sister properties. We enjoyed the latter ones more as they are beach side and we liked the vibe better. The staff is super friendly and helpful, we would love to come back!

South AfricaThe transport issue which I booked on booking.com . There was a little bit for misunderstanding in terms of communication and as a result they sent me a cab at the airport of which I had already booked transport for airport . But we resolved it . It was okay
The pool was heaven , they organised a party for me since it was my birthday and Kunal is the manager there very accomodating and kind to the staff. It was luxurious, the room aesthetics were pleasing . They have grocery list if you want to cook , the aircon works perfectly compared to my previous hotel . It is newly opened and facilities are great . I can say 10/10 it was my best stay in Zanzibar . You will definitely not regret. They have sister hotels near the beach , if you want to visit during the day they just call a cab for you .

FranceThe internet could be stronger (good for social media but challenging if you need to work), also they used a product in the pool that turned all our bathing suits yellowish (but said they would investigate, so hopefully this should be fixed with better type of chlorine).
The hotel is even better than on the pictures, staff is very welcoming, pool is nice and deep, breakfast is amazing, and rooms are very confortable. Overall, we had a very nice experience and highly recommend!
