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 reviewGreat people who truly go out of their way trying to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They also helped organizing day trips and transportation for me, and my requests weren't very simple. I think it's the most caring hotel personnel I have ever seen. Breakfast is tasty and with a wide selection. Would definitely come back!

Verified reviewThe people were amazing providing information on local attractions, arranging reasonable airport transfers and being very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was good and a breakfast box was arranged on day of early tour. Location was close to everything, commercial shopping, garden, cathedral and museums. Next door restaurant Soho had wonderful food and huge portions.

Verified reviewThe location of the property is great, close to nice areas in Maputo and restaurants. The staff was kind and helpful with all the requests that we had. The bed was not comfortable because it was too hard but the staff assisted in adding some blankets to make it comfortable. The breakfast was simple yet diverse so we started our days in a great way. The rooms are made daily and kept very clean. Would definitely come back!

Verified reviewLocation, comfortable bed, fresh products for breakfast, overall the room was comfortable, the pool was clean and the terrace spacious, fully secured and safe. Good wifi.
Behind the terrace there is a garbage dump and when sunbathing there are a lot of flies. Next door there is a restaurant and it can be very noisy. My room no. 7 was on the side of the car wash and car repair shop so there was noise all day long. Unfortunately the hotel rules are not transparent. Hidden behind the lamps are regulations that you cannot drink your own drinks on the terrace, only those bought from the fridge in the hotel. Which was strange because the first three evenings I drank two beers and no one told me anything, and then a problem arose. No possibility to invite friends to the room, guests can only be in the common areas. I understand the security but don't overdo it to take away the privacy of someone close (I'm not talking about a guest staying overnight, but about a visit during the day). In addition, I received an indecent proposal from an employee (I have proof screenshots from WhatsApp, which I shared because it started with an offer of a city tour, and later there was talk of sex also in the hotel room) and when I announced that I did not pay for such meetings, the man was arrogant. There are a lot of contrasts in this place and I will never choose this place again, despite the positive aspects. Your answer in point 5 is untrue. As I wrote, I have screenshots of his messages. What you write was the opposite. I understand that the guy is afraid of losing his job, but he was the one who talked me into sex, not me into him. I will allow myself to post screenshots of his messages. Forgive me, but I wrote the truth and you are lying or he deceived you.I was texting him and we planned a sex date and it's simply true that your employee did it. I'm only posting a fragment of that conversation because I have nothing to hide.
Dear Damian, We appreciate your feedback, but we would like to clarify several points regarding your stay. 1. Location and Surroundings – Our hotel is located in a lively area, and while we strive to provide a comfortable environment, external factors such as nearby businesses are beyond our control. We do our best to minimize any disturbances. 2. Flies and Cleanliness – The presence of flies is not a recurring issue but can be influenced by external conditions. Our hotel follows strict hygiene protocols to ensure a clean and pleasant atmosphere. 3. Hotel Rules and Transparency – Our policies regarding outside drinks and guest visits are clearly stated at the reception when you sign the guesthouse rules and in our roof top bar to all guests. These rules are in place to maintain order and security for all visitors. While staff may not always enforce rules immediately, they are applied consistently once observed. 4. Guest Visits – For security reasons, non-registered guests are only allowed in common areas. This policy is common in many hotels and is designed to ensure the safety and privacy of all guests. 5. Allegations Against an Employee – We take such matters very seriously. However, its very sad cause it was the other way around. You asked Anibal for hes number and he did not give to you any contact number. so there is no messages from him to you. you came with an excuse that the TV was not working, and you invited him out for dinner or a drink. He said no. You wanted to get closer and started to talk about sex, he had to answer in not a polite way so you could understand that he was not interested in you. We have no problem with any sexual orientation, we are a LGBTQ+ friendly guesthouse. We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, but we stand by our commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable stay for all guests. We hope you find accommodations that better suit your preferences in the future.

Verified reviewThe room was small but comfortable enough for the price, the staff are very helpful and polite, the breakfast fare was simple but tasty and there is a nice pool to laze in and a nice relaxation area in the property as well. The best part is all the key sights of Maputo are within walking distance
The complimentary water bottle is a small half litre one and the WiFi in the room I had chosen was very spotty. Other than that it's all good.

Verified reviewVery kind and helpful receptionists, tasty breakfast, good location, clean room and refreshing pool made my 2 nights stay in Maputo very comfortable. It was my second time to stay in Guesthouse 1109 and if I need accommodation in Maputo again, I will definitely choose Guesthouse 1109.
I had loud room neighbours and even though there is recommendation for silence in hotel common areas, it was quite noisy.
