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 reviewReception area
Booking: 35 m2, seating area, pattio, view Reality: at most 20 m2, no seating area, no pattio, no view. I wouldn't even mind if the manager didnn't have the audacity to tell me it's booking's fault, he can't do anything, and what do i expect for the price ... Take responsibility for advertising more than you offer. Indecent, dishonest. Not the way to run a business.
thank you so much.You are the kind of guest that looking only for refund and to stay for free in hotels.Here around you did the same.Booking for one day and after that you start to complain about everything to take money back from hotel.I hope to not see you again .My staff was too polite with you,after you was aggressive and very rude.By the way if you are racist and you hate black people ...why you come to Africa? Shame to you mister!

Verified reviewThe location is fantastic, just a 2-minute walk to the beach! The AC works perfectly, making the stay comfortable, except when there are power cuts, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
My experience was disappointing. The room was advertised as spacious but was very small. The single dim light made it hard to see, and the toilet seat was loose and uncomfortable, and requiring multiple flushes. The bathroom had small windows without mosquito mesh, a persistent bad smell, and only cold water in the shower. There was no place to hang clothes, and the curtains let in light, making it hard to sleep. My room was never cleaned the whole time I was there, the sheets weren’t changed. Salt shakers super dirty
Room are 35 sqm..Realy big for budget hotel.Is a 2 star hotel and yes...is impossible for as to give you 5 star condition for 40 dolars in High seazon. Regarding for cleaning..maybe you never ask it for..We have a sign on the door "Please Clean" In your 3 days there you never used.We apreciete the real review..but this is realy far from true. Maybe you can tell also the story of your rejected card and payment problem until last minute ?Or how you want to go without to pay for your bills? We apologize that we dare to ask our money. Have a great year!

Verified reviewvery close to the beach, literally 1min, its good place to stay on budget, price is adequate to the service provided, 5min walk to village where you find local people, stalls and restaurant (best in the evening). breakfast alla carte, was acceptable, but you get bread only with the first option, the second is just eggs and 2 sousages so man can be still hungry, lovely beautiful cat on the premises . staff quite nice, parking in front of hotel
the room was advertised as 30m2 but was very small! another problem is when the power cuts on island the place does not have back up electricity generator so we ended up staying 2 hours with no water in extreme heat (in the night). another thing is a noise, coming from the loud music in the bar down stairs (basically just bass bits) - some guests would like to sleep from 21/22 but music continues until quite late. also the owner seems to be quite arrogant
Thank you for your review. We are very sorry that we cannot satiate you for breakfast. Being a low budget hotel, we cannot afford another generator. The rooms at 25 dollars per night for 2 people with breakfast included do not enrich us. Related to owner.. Did you have any discussion with him or did you just deduce that he is arrogant? Honestly.. We are sorry that you were not satisfied. We were trying to be cheap and good.. but for some it is not possible.

Verified reviewHighlight was the friendly and helpful staff including cleaner and workers who assisted me to get a new bulb when reported that the bed side lamp was not working , staff suggested night clubs such as the old then the new Jumbo night club to go after 23h00 a 15 min walk to for a late night dancing to early morning, Shanga recomended nearby for the next night entertainment, staff organised a cheap taxi to stone town. Safety box in the room by the bed with own key, clean room and comfortable bed and quiet at night to sleep with mosquito nets. Great location only 1 min walk to the beach and hotel has their own private area on the beach in the shade to sit and chill and to do kite activities.Aircon in room Tasty breakfast on rooftop with 4 options served free every morning but limited to 1 drink for free either coffee or tea or juice otherwise pay for extra drinks .Shops nearby and 20min walk to.town to find atms by the Roundabout on main road. Bar in the front to buy drinks.
Worst is that there is No generator hence due to no electricity at times you are unable to use the wifi and have to find shower in the dark.Guests shoud be given a torch when there is no electricity to shower in the dark. No soap or shampoo supplied in the bathroom. No free water to guests , you have to buy your own from a shop. No fridge in the room. No hangers for your clothes.
Thank you very much for your review. We constantly try to keep the room prices as low as possible. Of course we care about our guests and do our best to be as good as possible. Breakfast and accommodation conditions are carefully controlled by the management. Also the staff. For 30 dollars a room per night with breakfast included, we cannot offer other additional things. Regarding the power cuts.. I can only say Karibu Zanzibar. I think we all have flashlights on our mobile phones. We are waiting for you anytime with love. Kite Active Team

I wish they could work on providing at least BATHING SOAP to the guest... I wish they also provided DRINKING WATER in the rooms for the guest....
Thank you very much for your evaluation. We are constantly trying to improve the services offered to our clients. Our main priority is the lowest possible price for accommodation. Of course, for this we have to make very big sacrifices and unfortunately we have to give up some auxiliary services. We are waiting for you to come back to us at any time.

The managers take care of every single detail.The rooms are clean, the staff in the restaurant are very attentive to the customers and their needs, the breakfast is very good.
