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...).

Saudi ArabiaGeckos in the room. I know it’s a jungle. I didn’t feel comfortable having geckos in the room. However, the mosquito net covered the bed and I felt a little bit safe in my sleep. The area is a little bit humid and it gets warm at night.
Though it’s all inclusive, it’s a la cart. Three course meal but you choose from a menu. The staff is attentive.

United KingdomThe bathroom in the chalet could do with updating
Individual chalets overlooking the whitewater rapids of the River Nile. Excellent variety of food both international and local. Very good choice of wines and spirits available on the full board option. The whitewater rafting experience was wonderful, 3.5 hours 20 kms and rapids crossed between grades 1 and 5. The massage experience was excellent. The staff were brilliant.

UgandaThe menu options were complicated and had to seek explanation from the service team. The menu could be simplified for us locals. There was an african menu thank God and these were well prepped meals.
Here’s a refined version of your review that maintains your voice while polishing the flow: --- A Refreshing Escape Overlooking the Nile Breakfast was delightful — served in small portions, but more than adequate. The room came with two bottles of wine and complementary drinks, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. I thoroughly enjoyed walking the well-kept grounds and relaxing by the swimming pool, which offers a stunning view touching the Nile. All rooms are front-facing and open up to the falls, are truly a sight to behold. A beautiful and refreshing experience overall.

UgandaWe visited after it had rained and the road leading to the hotel, off the tarmac was muddy which made driving really challenging. I'd highly recommend a 4WD during such times.
Beautiful location over looking the nile, with stunning views and peaceful sounds of nature. The cottages were private and well maintained with all the basic amenities, comfortable beds and complementary drinks. Their infinity pool was a great place to relax and an even greater spot for pictures. The staff were welcoming and friendly, thanks to Armstrong who helped me redeem my balance. We enjoyed our stay!

UgandaThere was a huge millipede in the room and you are warned about snakes on the island.. I also didn’t like the rocks in my room. They are for decoration purposes but they looked creepy in the end. Especially with the millipedes.

The place is beautiful and calm... I fell in love with the sounds of the water from all over the place. The staff are quite friendly. Being a solo traveler, they even helped to take my pictures. Thank you Moses, you are such a homely human being. The location of my Suite- Tana, whoever gifted me this choice of accomodation, thank you. I saw some water animals and a small alligator. The view was just fascinating 👌

Wonderful location in the middle of river Nile. Staff is exceptional and caters to every request. It is an extremely good deal and worth the expense. One tip...if you are travelling with a Ugandan national, make the reservation in their name for discount and special deal.
