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.).

United KingdomSadly the swimming pool was not available.
The staff especially Elizabeth, were very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was very good with 2 large beds for myself and my daughter. We were allowed to book in early as our flight arrived early in the morning. We were able to stay until our early evening flight. The breakfasts were very good with plenty of choice. We had some evening meals there and they were excellent. The bar area provided a lovely view of evening sunsets. It’s not far from the Impala Sanctuary - we walked there. The taxi driver, Gideon, who picked us up when we arrived, was helpful and took us to various places on other days.

NorwayFirst room had a leaking A/C with a wet towel on the floor. We asked for a new room and got it. Mosquitoes in room. Nets in room but poor Velcro attachments so gaps. Water takes several minutes to warm up.
Location. Quiet. Relaxing lounge area. Left some IT equipment behind - got a Whatsapp informing of this. Honesty +++.

GermanyThe shower cabin had mold on the corners, you could tell it was cleaned but they didn’t have the proper cleaning materials for the corners. The pool doesn’t have a guard, it is written in a wall that isn’t easy to see, so be careful. I wish there was cold milk served at breakfast.

The hotel is undergoing some minor renovations and is in good condition. Location in the garden-like neighbourhood with a view to Lake Victoria were reasons I chose the hotel.

GermanyThe hotel was under renovation when we were there, and there were often work crews in three different areas at a time, hammering, sanding, painting, and carrying materials through. I'm sure it will make the place even better in the end, but it was a bit disruptive. In order to get hot water in the shower, we were told to run it for four minutes, which I find a terrible waste of a precious resource. There were a couple little things that didn't work in the room, like a cabinet that wouldn't stay closed or a bathroom door that swung open with a bang when not latched. The room wasn't set up for two people when we arrived (even though there were two people on the reservation) and there was no wifi access in the room until the IT guy came and installed a repeater.
The staff were generally fantastic, from Dennis and Linet at the front desk to Bruce the bellhop to Celine at the restaurant. They always wanted to help and make our stay as memorable as possible. The room was beautiful and comfortable and equipped with pretty much anything you could hope for in a hotel room. The mosquito net on sliders around the bed was practical but also romantic. The air-conditioning worked perfectly. The pool was usually clean and inviting us to swim every day. Maureen at the spa took her time to do an excellent job on every treatment. There were a lot of great spaces to sit and hang out, so spending a day recharging in the hotel wasn't boring.
