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...).

FinlandWe really enjoyed our time at Diana Hostel. The place was beautiful and clean and the staff was really friendly. The price was affordable and the room was very good for that. Breakfast and food was great. Dominic's chips masala was very tasty! We didn't have any problems.

KenyaIt would have been nice to have two plug sockets in the room- but there's enough spots to charge your devices outside of the room as well.
Dominik was such a welcoming host, I felt absolutely at ease at Diani Hostel and could really relax there. The perfect place if you want an authentic, yet comfortable stay in the middle of Diani village.

IndiaThe dorm has no proper lighting so it's almost dark at night in the dorm. It's really inside so you have to get a bike to get out and at night , you need to stay in. The water supply was finished on one of the mornings, nobody else was there in the dorm so it gets boring. And one feels a bit unsafe. I had nothing untoward happen with me but one of the other girls who stayed later - she said someone came up and stood outside her dorm and nobody helped her. She was freaking out. This place doesn't have a social vibe at all. No lockers for your stuff.
I liked the security gate and fence, it's safe and the low price of 5 USD. I had reached late and just needed to sleep so that was fine. The staff was good to me. The pool area is nice. I had forgotten my Tarot pouch and it got rained over but they kept it for me. I was the only person in the dorm which worked for the first night. They gave me a fan as it was too hot for me. The bed is comfy and clean. Shower was decent. Cleaning lady is sweet too.

KenyaI didn't know there was a restaurant. Sometimes I would wake up to noise downstairs considering I would sleep late and wake up late. Also I didn't like the location it's far from main road.
Mostly I liked the structure of the hostels which allows for natural cooling and ventilation. I also liked that Dominic was very helpful anytime when needed.

KenyaThe rooms were a bit dank and the pool had bugs that bit your skin. I recommend it be cleaned regularly as well as disinfection for the bugs.
The rates were super-friendly. The staff were amazing notably Dominic who provided great hospitality. The food was great, done by Dominic himself.

KenyaThe distance to the location, it is a little bit far for a hidden gem, I would ask the management to do more of advertisement and recommend them to have website for this hidden gem. Lack of online presence will hinder its discovery.
The dinner presentation and making was highly valued, the keen to details and follow up from the host to make sure you are fully taken care of, I salute this.
