How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI had a wonderful stay at Divine Heights. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. One of the standout highlights was the food—absolutely spectacular! The chef's shepherd's pie easily makes it into my top 10, and the full English breakfast each morning was equally impressive. There was a minor hiccup with room service communication, but it was resolved promptly and professionally. The staff speaks English well, so even without knowing the local vernacular, I had no trouble getting assistance. While the location is a bit removed from the city center, it's peaceful and quiet—something I really appreciated as a solo traveler. Despite being dropped off by my hired taxi, I felt completely safe and slept soundly without any disturbances. The room was also thoughtfully equipped with a mosquito net and insecticide, which was a big plus. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-hosted stay

Verified reviewThe location is convenient, the staff are very helpful and lovely, always available to help. The rooms are of good size. Good breakfast provided. Living room downstairs is lovely. Air conditioned rooms Good value for money Backup power when there is a power cut
The side where food is cooked the food cooking smell comes upstairs so it’s not very nice sometimes. However this is only on the side where the kitchen is located, the other side is ok.

Verified reviewhaving a tv, internet etc was all good. new and nice
the mattress and pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable. this is definitely not where the owner of a lodge should look to save money. my back is still very sore. and the chair at the work table was completely inappropriate. it was so high my legs were swinging off the floor and i certainly could not work there on my laptop for more than a few minutes.

Verified reviewPolite, helpful and kind staff right from check-in. Morning breakfast excellent - very professionally done and exceeded my expectations. Heads up to the Chef who did an excellent job. Checking out was very easy and the staff explain everything clearly.
No hot water to shower, we had to take a cold shower. There was no tea/coffee making facilities on arrival and during the night.

Verified reviewLovely staff who helped change money from USD to Kwacha for our taxi ($30) and booked the taxi which arrived at the right time. We only booked the apartment 1 hour before arriving which surprised the staff but they were very kind and a room was ready and waiting. They provided dinner ($8pp) and a full cooked breakfast was included in the price. WiFi worked well enough to check-in for flights and general usage. The apartment was huge and clean, the bed was comfy and the shower was great.
The location is out of town so nothing to do there but we didn't mind as it was just a place to stay before our flight the next day. Aircon isn't available but may be nice in hotter months.

Verified reviewI liked having a lounge to relax in and having the dining facilities close to your room. Breakfast was excellent and food prepared by the chef is excellent. Lovely quiet area.
The pillows are not very comfortable. No airconditioners but fans are provided.
