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...).

United States of AmericaClarity that AC is extra ; No hot water AC is inexpensive to add on in the scheme of it. So it’s not such a hurdle- only when coming in late and wanting to go straight to sleep. It’s hot enough climate to get away with the tepid water. Just shower before sunset. The beach is a close walk with access through the property in front.
Helpful , friendly and attentive staff. Made us breakfast earlier than their serving time as we we’re leaving on a tour. That they found out last minute in the morning as we got in late from the airport (after 2200) but still accommodated us: even though we just asked to grab a coffee before we depart.

My niece and I stayed at the Zanzibar Dream Lodge for about 9 days. The staff were professional , accommodating and very kind. Our gratitude to Kassim for making our stay in Zanzibar memorable , for his help with booking taxis from and to the airport , with my phone ( as I had few issues with it ) etc. The breakfast was ok. Dinner was great ! Plenty of options for vegans , vegetarians , pescatarians etc. The room where we stayed was spacious , clean and had a very comfortable bed. I would definitely return to the Zanzibar Dream Lodge again.

TanzaniaZanzibar dream lodge is one of the little hidden gem paraparadise in Zanzibar. They have great professionalism on how they will keep time and manage your stay from the moment you make a reservation. We had a hotel shuttle and the driver was punctual . The food with was amazing.People in the hotel are so kind and lovely staffs. Not talking about the cleanliness. I would recommend the hotel with a 10/10 to any person traveling for work because it’s cool.Vacation or even solo trip. More so the location is really nice .one to two minutes walk to the beach . I and my bf were extremely happy with Zanzibar dream lodge. I will definitely come back.

DenmarkAs the name implies "dream" place. More than a hotel! felt like visiting family. Not our first time to stay at Zanzibar Dream Lodge, and definitely not the last! Kassim and staff always had time for a good chat and were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Helping with all needs and trips to the must see/do places and the hidden gems in Zanzibar. Our room was nice and clean, and enjoyed a break in a cool room after long, warm day. And also liked the beautiful outside areas. Zanzibar Dream Lodge is a very nice, chill, quiet and relaxing place. Attended a swahili food course. Fun, cosy and gave a further understanding of the Zanzibari-culture. Otherwise enjoyed amazing food from their restaurant.

PolandWe like pretty much everything about this place.
It was not our first time at Zanzibar Dream Lodge, but first time booked via this website. We love a laid-back atmosphere there, good vibes, very friendly staff. The owner - Kassim is an awesome person, always willing to help and doing his best to fulfill his guests all needs. Zanzibar Dream Lodge restaurant serves a very delicious food, including fresh seafood and flavourful fruits. A nice beach is just few steps away and you can use sunbeds and umbrellas free of charge. If you are looking for a genuine place, where you can charge your batteries with positive energy, it is a perfect place to do so!

United States of AmericaNot much I didn’t like…everything was pretty good. The electric went out once for about 2 minutes, but then came right back on. But just heads up, that’s to be expected ANYWHERE you stay on the island, so definitely nothing against the property.
Besides that it is EXTREMELY affordable!! This is a great property with a good location, and it’s right there close to the beach. It’s somewhat close to everything so you can pretty much walk, or you can get a Boda boda or taxi if you prefer that to get around. I usually walked the beach route and everything is pretty close. I was traveling alone, so I appreciated that it’s a closed property, and felt very safe staying there. Staff was very friendly and always willing to help out.

I liked the quiet area, away from busy streets and beaches. A lovely sandy garden with chill music, greenery and flowers around. If you want to get rested and feel rejuvenated after staying among palm trees, the ocean, the sand, flowers and good food, this is the right place. I keep coming back to this place. This was my place when I first came to Zanzibar two years ago, and now is my choice whenever I go to the east coast. I just love it.

GermanyWe had an exceptional stay at Dream Lodge. The Staff is super friendly and helps with everything. Alpha taught us about the dala dala routes and gave great recommendations. He is so welcoming and just a great guy! This is the first accommodation we been to which is way better in reality than on the pictures and it was the best stay in our journey. The room was clean and the bed was really big and super comfy. We had the whole bed covered with a good mosquito net which works wonders. There is a great restaurant in the dream lodge. You get a healthy breakfast with fresh and delicious fruits everyday and changing menu like pancakes or toast and omelette. They also serve a delicious vegetable curry with rice for cheap, give it a try! They have a collaboration with the tiki Beach resort so you can use the private beach with hammocks, sunbeds, beach lounger and their is also a nice bar. Google it and look at some pictures. It is the white beach with palm trees you ever dreamed of! All in all it is very budgetfriendly with exceptional value. I highly recommend everyone to visit the Zanzibar Dream Lodge.
