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.).

KenyaThe desserts - a lot of work is required and needs massive improvement. For example, the chocolate cake is not good with the cake very grainy and doesnt have the decadance that it should have. Same with the Tiramisu - if someone has never had tiramisu in their lives and orders what is given as a Tiramisu, they will never order Tiramisu again. The dessert chef should really get some training or should be replaced by a chef who can actually whip up some nice desserts. Also, variety in desserts is recommended like moose, tarts etc,
The dinner, breakfast was quite nice and the view from the restaurant area is quite amazing. The food has some amazinf taste and people visiting from South Asia will not be disappointed. It would be good that besides chutneys, pickles are also served which go very well with parathas. However, they could have a better bar area with a fireplace like a lounge and not just a counter from where drinks are served.

KenyaThe roads/driveway up to it were rough, which we weren’t prepared for.
We loved the pool and the view. The cottage was lovely and we loved that none of them overlooked each other so it felt very private. The staff were all amazing, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Everywhere was clean and tidy.

Saudi ArabiaThe gates to the hills were shut in the morning and you would have to pay the guide to see the sunrise over the lake or go for a night walk to spot chameleons. Description of the property is misleading - it is located 1km from the lake and you cannot see it from the villa we were allocated. Maybe the other villas have a view but this will be from quite some distance.
Very nice rustic cabins, nice grounds, on-site walking tour was good and restaurant buffet and breakfast was very good with a fantastic view on the veranda.

KenyaThe beds are a little bit small . I guess because of the type floor it felt dusty The possibility of sharing a cottage someone can be a turn off.
The food at the hotel was fantastic I will eat it anytime. The staff were very friendly and helpful at any given time The location of the hotel is just perfect and tests your car ability :)

NetherlandsIt would have been great if escort to the cottage was included. At dark our cottage was relatively far (5 minute walk) to reach on dark paths. A little bit more lightning and closer proximity to others would have made us feel more safe at night.
We had a large room/cottage which was great for our family; the style is a little dark but comes across friendly. The menu options were perfect and there was sufficient room for our kids to play and roam around safely.
