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.).

BelgiumEverything. Service was perfect, professional, but also super friendly. They do not hesitate to help you with any requests you may have. Great breakfast with creativity in the dishes. Evening meal was just super delicious... feels like I was eating at my parents' home. Beautiful house, room and garden.

South AfricaPalmeiras has a good home environment, the staff are very helpful and with a great attitude. The atmosphere is very warm, every time I go to Maputo I stay there for its warm vibe. I had to rent a car for the day and there was plenty and secure parking. I highly recommend staying at this Guesthouse.

I enjoyed everything that Palmeiras Guest House had to offer. The breakfast is simply divine, I had never experienced a breakfast with so much diversity. The availability and friendliness of all the staff from the owner to all the employees. The area is safe and very central, where you can go for a walk. It was a great experience and for sure if I come back to Maputo I will stay in this Oasis in the centre of Maputo. Unique place. Thank you

South AfricaI arrived very early and was able to check in, however I was not shown the property or informed about breakfast hours, ended up just going with the flow. On my last day as I left early due to my flight security held me up for 10min trying to call someone because he hadn't been informed about my departure. I know that's safety but bad for the guest specially because I was not given any receipt. Rooms are very good but mine needed some ventilation the first day as it had that smell of being closed for a while.
The location, breakfast variety just missed some natural juice like orange. Staff is hospitable and smiley.

GermanyThere is nothing to complain!
The hospitality from Celia and her team was amazing. The breakfast was definitely the best during our trip through Mozambique. A huge variety of cakes, tartes, fruits and more. The rooms are spatious and super clean. The location of the guesthouse is perfect for walking to all the places you might want to see (Old Town, Train Station, Polana, ...). All in all, it was a perfect start for our travel through Mozambique.

ThailandEverything! starting from the greetings and entrance till small little cozy things, like garden in the bathroom and decoration in lounge area. The guest house is much brighter and cozy than it appears on a photo. Breakfast is something beyond describing it, the variety of cakes and pies makes it whole gastronomic journey. Host is very friendly and keen on a good advise. Safe and secure place with gated parking and guard always on site. The only place to stay in Maputo.
