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 reviewClose to a nice beach
No wifi at any time in any location. They offered hotspot, but this was not convenient. Constant blackouts. No power in water so could not shower most times of the day. Lots of mosquitoes. Rooms were unpleasant. Outrageously over-priced and sub-standard food which was in small portions and left us unsatisfied and still hungry. Would NOT recommend.
We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we regret that they were not fulfilled. We would have appreciated it if you had communicated the issue with the food during your stay so that we could have addressed it promptly. Your review will certainly be helpful for us, and we will take your feedback into account to improve our services. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Verified reviewLovely little place just one or two minutes from a nice peaceful beach. Really friendly and helpful owners. Nice comfy room with good mosquito nets. We had a delicious meal here one night as well.
There's no air conditioning - but we knew this as it's clear from the description, and for the price it's reasonable not to expect air con! The only problem - which is out of the owners' hands - is that there are frequent power cuts, often in the night, so the fan stops working and it can get very hot. I spoke to someone staying at one of the more expensive hotels on the beach & they said they had the same problem!
Thank you so much Alice for your kind review, we are working to improve the electricity supply and we hope to host you again. You are welcome

Verified reviewThe guest house is only a few minutes walk to the beach. The staff and owners are very friendly and quick to provide service. The breakfast was delicious and the room itself good value for the price.
The water pressure in my room wasn't very regular but the owner said the problem would be fixed since as soon as possible.
Thank you so much Douglas for your review, you are always welcome and we remain committed to improving the water situation.

The blue lagoon is 10 minutes away from the hotel. Sandra, the owner, is very welcoming, she makes you feel at home. I have really enjoyed my stay there, I ll recommend it a lot

Verified reviewThe breakfast was nice like a family one with little variations every day. It gave me an idea what is the best orange marmalade I ever tried in E. Africa (will not advertise here ;) ). The location is good with ease walk access to a lot of things - beach, small shops, village bar.

Verified reviewThis certainly exceeded my expectations! I stayed for a week alone (really, I was the inly guest) and it was perfect. The Staff is so friendly and welcoming, felt at home immediately. The place is located one minute away from a white sand beautiful beach. The room was new, big shower, & the bed very comfortable. The fan worked perfectly. The breakfast amazing with fruits, fresh tropical juice, and home-made pancakes! Free drinking water, and I had lunch there and they made a special vegan dish for me, super tasty veggie curry and rice. I was skeptical when I read the other reviews, but this is definitely an excellent place to stay. 100% recommend. Thank you Mohammed for the lovely food, and big thanks to Salum, the owner, who gave me the opportunity of witnessing a Zanzibar Village wedding. Will stay in my mind forever 🌞 Many blessings to you.
There is a big construction going on close by, so there are a few noises from time to time, but nothing that disturbs the great peace of this place
Hi Carla, thank you very much for your visit with us, it was a pleasure hosting you and we look forward to seeing you again. We wish you good life, see you soon

Verified reviewThe hosts were really amazing. They take care of you and give you tips what you can do around the place. It is amazingly pretty, with palm trees, hammocks and even a fireplace. It takes you literally 30 seconds to reach the white sand beach. The Rooms are very clean and lovely looking. I loved my stay there and can just recommend this place!
