How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewLocation great. Walk along beach to busier parts . Hammocks and gardens right close to beach give a very nice relaxing feel. Great for hammock / sea view reading, relaxing , photos etc.. Staff lovely and friendly . Lovely gardens and plants etc.
Breakfast needs work. Small kettle for hot drinks which takes ages to boil like a travel kettle. Instant coffee !! Not what you want at a quality hotel. Strange breakfast selection which you kind of make the most of , then when half way through they ask if you want an omelette ? Why not ask at the start when being seated ? Rooms need maintenance , ie ours and neighbours doors broken and wouldn’t lock. Maintenance came out to bodge them again. Ate in the evening once which was expensive compared to other places. Glad we were only bed and breakfast as would have been really bored eating here morning and evenings. Maybe we paid over the odds as booked at short notice ?! Oh yes, no place to wash feet after beach so you walk sand back into accommodation which made it very dirty. Cleaners must be working overtime with all the sand in rooms. Easy fix required.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect for relaxing and not in the chaos noose and partying of the main Nungwi beach area. Staff are lovely. Clean. Beautiful. Breakfast isnt bad at all. Helpful at every step. Ocean is stunning. Beautiful gardens and loungers and pool is great. Thankful for the generator during power outages.
The beds are not really comfortable. As travellers from South Africa the restaurant prices are too expensive. Aimed at European and American travellers. But the whole of Nungwi is expensive and charging in dollars. We visited during their ‘winter’ when they were busy with construction and maintenance, which is not ideal but a normal thing to have to do. The notices and timelines around the maintenance could be shared and pit up in advance for some change and expectation management.
Dear Larissa, Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review of your stay at Tanzanite Beach Resort & Spa. We're truly pleased that you found our location peaceful and relaxing, away from the bustle of the main Nungwi beach, and that our team, gardens, and ocean views contributed positively to your experience. We appreciate your candid observations regarding the beds, pricing, and seasonal maintenance. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're happy to share that our renovation work has now been fully completed—bringing a refreshed ambiance and enhanced comfort throughout the property. We’ve also taken steps to improve communication around any future maintenance to ensure better expectation management for our guests. Thank you once again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back for an even more seamless and rejuvenating stay. Warm regards, Clive

Verified reviewThe room was nice with nice view
The pool was not working for the whole stay (3 days) it was green in colour and was being fixed. We were not informed about this when we booked or compensated in any way. The area of the pool was not well maintained, with broken shower and untidy areas. Wifi is very very slow, took me 20 minutes to see a 4 minute video.
You were a pleasure to host and we are glad you enjoyed your spacious room and views! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Verified reviewThe room was large the bed very comfortable, and the AC worked perfectly. The sea view from the balcony through the trees in the garden was super. And the staff were very helpful.
The hotel prefers that you take half or full board and the variety reflects that. Contrary to other review they do serve alcohol, but stick to the beer as the red wine was undrinkable to me!

Verified reviewUpon checking in to Tanzanite Beach Resort (Unsure if this place deserves the title of resort) we were welcomed by Ester who showed us to our room. It was much smaller than what we’d seen in the photos. But a room nonetheless. Our plan was to explore during the days here anyway. However we realised that the lock on our door was broken. They first said we could go and it would be fixed when we were back. We didn’t want to leave our valuables. So we started to wait. The lock was changed in about 2,5 hours. However this time we couldn’t lock the room from the inside. When we finally spoke to management, I suggested that they should have changed our room to begin and not wasted an entire day with this matter. Since it was too late in the day for us to go anywhere at that point. Plus we hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast. The second room they put us in (I’m guessing was cleaned in a rush.) smelled of toxins not meant for human consumption. We had to air the room and actually wipe the floors with a towel (there is zero exaggeration here). They offered us some fries and a juice to make up for lunch. Dinner was okay. The chef came to our table to ask after the food. What was not okay however is that even water is not included with the meal. Honest opinion, I wouldn’t stay here if you paid me money. There are much nicer “resorts” in Matemwe or Nungwi.
