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 reviewThe Team were extremely attentive and could not do enough for us to make our stay comfortable. This lodge is one of the best accommodation I have visited. From the decor, set up, staff and food, all were at an excellent standard.

Verified reviewThis is a unique property. Each guest has their own cottage with a very large bedroom, bathroom, and front porch. The property has a beautiful garden in back and a fire pit seating area in front. The food was excellent. And the location was ideal, close to Volcanoes National Park.

Verified reviewFrom the minute we arrived we were welcomed with open arms 💕 ALL the staff were so helpful and amazing. They communicated everything that we needed to know about hiking up to the gorillas and anything else. We especially loved the Rwandan uniqueness and feel of the property as it was spacious, clean and cosy all at the same time. The bed was firm but very comfortable and the shower was large with lots of hot water The garden was so peaceful and we had beautiful breakfasts there. The food was so good that I wanted to take the chef home 😊 but they were over feeding us !!! and needed to tell them to reduce the portions.
so clean - that it was a bit slippery on some surfaces

Verified reviewLoved the location and room. Food was great. Fireplace in our room and hot water bottles were a nice touch. Our turn down service was excellent thank you.
The main thing was the awkward check out when it came to tipping - we are well travelled, hard working people - the manager insisted on us tipping each individual staff member a specific amount which was difficult - it all became very uncomfortable and her demeanour changed instantly.

Verified reviewWe stumbled upon this hotel when the one that I booked was unacceptable. The staff was so warm and welcoming even we were not guests yet. It is a high end affordable luxury hotel. All meals are amazing. The rooms are extremely comfortable with fire places and warm bladders. They give you a foot massage when you come back from hikes. The location is easy to find, right off the main road near the Dian fossey/ellen museum-which is worth a stop. Do not hesitate to book here.
Nothing at all

Verified reviewThe staff was very nice and very helpful and the food was very tasty. The entire facility was very clean, well maintained and beautiful. (lots of plants and flowers)
The Internet did not reach the rooms but that allowed us to disconnect so maybe not the worst problem, no heat or AC in room but a nice fireplace which made it cozy. The bed was very hard but was fine for the one night we were there.

Verified reviewAll of it but it's the staff that make this place so special. From Ibrahim's foot massages, to the attentiveness of the staff at all times following us round with a portable fire, making the fires in our room, cleaning our hiking boots and the food in the restaurant is sublime. Couldn't have had a nicer stay! The view of the volcanos is incredible, and the hotel arranged our bisoke hike transport and it was great.
Make sure the hotel is providing reasonable and local taxi rates, we had to provide external prices for reference and they were alot cheaper....

Verified reviewVery friendly staff, good location, fireplace in the room
Although it was cold, doors and windows were open all the time. Because of this, the places in the lodges were heated with a charcole device, that was unhealthy and not very sustainable.

Verified reviewEverything about this place was excellent. We stayed for one night but arrived quite early so had 2 lunches, dinner and breakfast around a planned trip to see Golden Monkeys in the National Park. The bungalow style accommodation was wonderful - huge, very private and set in its own garden and with a powerful shower. Staff set up a fire and hot water bottles during dinner service to ward off cold winter nights - we felt very pampered! Food and service uniformly excellent, from cheerful front desk staff to attentive waiter and bar staff, and a personal welcome from the hotel manager. It was lovely to be looked after so well. The grounds were very nice and we took a short walk out of the lodge which was also interesting and nice.
Nothing at all - one of the nicest hotels we’ve ever stayed in
