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.).

FinlandThe room was not 40 square metres, as promised, but perhaps 30 square metres at most. In the end of the ramadan, there was quite much noise from the guesthouse's restaurant.
I stayed in Orquidea with a colleague for 9 nights. The guesthouse served its purpose really well, it was nicely located for us. The room was comfortable and it was nice to cool down in the swimming pool. The breakfast was good with lot's of fruits. I was served decaf, but only about half of the mornings. Overall, very good value for money.

FinlandThey claim(ed) upon reservation that Amex was ok for payment - it was not (April 2025). In many places around here it is not, though. I booked the place for this reason, and to fill the conditions for the Amex travel insurance, so this sucked quite a bit. There was loud music at the pool side in the evenings. The sheets had seen cleaner days.
The room had aircon, refrigerator with a small freezer box and plenty of space. The staff was friendly, though some spoke very little English. That balcony facing the pool area was nice, though almost every night during the stay there was pretty loud music at the restaurant under the balcony. Ear plugs fixed that. Great value for money, good breakfast (though only instant "coffee" was included) and good restaurant. There are also other good ones around.

The location is very nice, close to many good restaurants. The hotel rooms are comfortable and so are the beds. Breakfast was good, with fruits, bread, eggs, sausages etc. The staff is super nice, especially Abel was great and very helpful!

South AfricaThe language barrier, someone who knows English must be made available at all times. The person preparing breakfast left prematurely before confirming everyone had eaten, leaving staff to prepare top up food for clients.
The staff is very eager to assist, they attend to concerns as efficient as possible, very helpful, friendly and kind. I would recommend the place

KenyaHaving more kitchen staff. One the last day a few of the guest missed breakfast and there was no one to prepare a qucik meal for them.
Exceptional customer service with the front desk staff being extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful -shout out to Castigo. High quality secure rooms (TV with a variety of channels, consistent WiFi and a clean pool, the balcony view was something else...). and high quality service. I recommend the place to anyone for a stay in while visiting Maputo.
