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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

🌟 Wonderful Stay at Cozy Stead! I had a fantastic experience at Cozy Stead. The location is perfect—close to the Village Market, which made exploring the area super convenient. The room was clean, comfortable, and offered a relaxing environment throughout my stay. The staff truly stood out with their helpfulness and warm smiles, making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. A special shoutout to Edda, who went above and beyond by arranging a safari tour for me on very short notice—she’s simply the best! The breakfast was also a highlight: tasty, fresh, and a great way to start the day. I will definitely choose to stay at Cozy Stead again and would strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Kenya. 🌿🦓

United StatesBed cleaning needs some work. The bathroom would also benefit from a shower curtain so the water won't overflow out of the shower.
The location, the garden & the hospitality were exceptional. The receptionist was nice enough to let me wait in the garden after checkout while I waited for my friend to come by, no questions asked. The hotel and its walkable surroundings are the highlight of my visit, the peace & quiet really felt like I'm on a relaxing excursion for once. To think I booked this last minute too!

RwandaNight noises. First a neighbour spent an hour loudly speaking on the phone, late at night (ard midnight - 1am). When that stopped, after a few minutes some loud sounds (which I could not identify) started, for about 30 mins. No net on the beds, and no mosquitoes repellent in the rooms. Leftover old baked goods by previous guests + the extra matress they had in the room, were not removed prior to my checking in.
Dinner was excellent! The chef is really good and made a perfect wet fried fish. The rest of the staff was also friendly and very helpful. Plenty of drinking water was provided in the room, so this was a big plus for me.

BelgiumThe walls are paper thin. Even with earplugs and white noise on my phone, it still sounded like the live music on Friday night was coming from the foot of my bed.
The staff were all lovely, the service was great, and the room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Location was also excellent, walking distance from the UN.

TurkeyRoom is a bit too small, toilet and fan are very loud, no AC, no sound isolation, a small window over the door, where during the night you see the lamp bright right in your eyes. Also doesn't feel completely private. I didn't like the room too much, but everything outside of the room just perfect!
The place is very green and quiet, staff is amazing, nice food and very pleasant garden.
