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...).

AustriaPrices at the bar/restaurant are quite expensive but I guess thats in every hotel on the cost.
Helpful and friendly staff, good location directly at the seaside. Nice and clean room, had everything we needed, even supply of drinking water! The yard and the beach are lovely decorated with areas to sit and chill.

GreeceVery friendly staff, ready to help and provide advice, the rooms are nice and the whole atmosphere is very relaxed and peaceful. The rooms (at least the more economic ones), were well taken care of, they came in the afternoon set up the mosquito net and activated the repellant which was very nice. Unfortunately they were quite warm over the night despite the use of the fan provided.

AustraliaVery small double bed in the economy room. It was my mistake to not read beyond 'The room includes bath' and not see thatit was a shared bathroom. So watch out for this.
Beautiful location with lovely bar and restaurant. Great fun being on the beach on a Sunday. Laundry service was good, even though it's not advertised.

KenyaI struggled without AC at night, the room was quite stuffy and hot despite the fan. Also, being Kilifi and lots of beautiful greenery, you have to be comfortable sharing your room with some insect/bug friends
The location on the beach is unbeatable. It’s a super chilled and nice place. So great to have the bar/restaurant for lunches and dinners

United Arab EmiratesWifi was a bit dodgy. We were trying to remote work for a bit and found it a bit challenging.
Loved the aesthetic and the vibe, all the plants and greenery, it really felt cosy and like a home from home. The bar by the beach was fantastic as well. Also great food and the staff were super friendly. There was a mix up between a shared and private bathroom but staff were amazing and sorted this for us no issue.

A beautiful place at the beach in Kilifi. Gorgeous house, amazingly decorated and with many places to relax. The garden great, with the huge tree making sure there was always enough shade. The restaurant and bar area is amazing to spend the day, the food is freshly made, with a different menu every day. Salty's is located at the beach and is of course a paradise for people coming to Kilifi for kitesurfing.
