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.).

United StatesOur room was on the ground floor so a little lack of privacy. You can choose a room on higher floors but you have to climb stairs.
Great location. Right on the water. Beds were comfortable. Restaurant offered a nice menu.

ArgentinaManaged in a very slow pace. Our room was not ready when we arrived at 6pm and made us wait..and the second night they changed us to a room where the bed was not ready. Everything took forever to be ready. The dining area downstairs was not clean, breakfast looked terrible. Pool area was also old. Wifi didnt work at all.

United StatesThe furniture in rooms are minimum... no chairs to put things nor table so hard to put things out when using space. Just bed, side tables and shelves.
We chose this location for its amazing covered terrace that is literally sitting in the water. So from the terrace one feels "in the water" looking out at this amazing blue colors of the water. My sons had to work during out stay so it was the perfect office, quiet area to hang. The pool was very popular with other guests but is not facing the water. The other great think is its amazing location in Nungwi. You are on the water and right near the restaurants and walking streets but not "in" the noisy part. You hear it but are not surrounded by it. If budget allows, I would recommend the rooms with water views... I'd do this next time. The breakfasts are good and home made. We had multiple meals there and enjoyed Rasta's cooking (the chef and owner) who had us laughing many times. Quite a character!

United StatesThe rooms are really basic and not decorative, but that’s ok. It would have been nice to have a dresser or table next to both beds to put things on.
I loved how close we were to the beach, and that I could sit in the dining room and have an ocean view. I also loved how the bungalows were in a walled compound that was quiet and away from the busy streets. The landscaping is nice and we loved seeing the Dik-Diks and birds. The location is great, close to everything! We only ate breakfast there, but that was really good and a great value because it’s included. The staff was so friendly and helpful too.

SpainRoom wasn’t really clean. Lot of dust, I had to take some pill for allergy. I asked for an extra blanket because I was cold at night, still waiting to have it. Food is ok but small portions and lower quality compared to similar places around… also check the bill if you are paying by card because the messed a bit with the change and the %. I had a problem with my flight tickets and ask if I could use a phone, still waiting to for the help they told me the gave me… of course they are not forced to give any help but it would be more honest just to say no instead of leave me waiting two days… If you are going to book any transfer or trip is better to do it outside the hotel, really overpriced.
Great location, straight access to the beach. Rooms a bit old but ok. They give you water every day when cleaning the room.

United KingdomThe garden rooms are quite small but other than that, nothing.
At first, we were put in a garden-view room. We had asked for a twin room and we were put in a double so we asked to move and we were moved. However, there was no water in that room. The staff did all they could to help and eventually they offered to upgrade us free of charge to a spectacular room right on the sea front. The staff were lovely and couldn't have done more to help. I would recommend that you book a seafront room, not a garden-view one. The difference was stark. The original room was small and quite dark. The room we were moved to was huge. Both rooms were beautifully furnished. I particularly loved the wooden beds. It was also very clean. The location was absolutely stunning. The patio windows opened directly onto a terrace, overlooking the sea, one of the most breathtaking views you will ever see. The seafront restaurant is also stunning and the breakfast was lovely: fresh fruit, a choice of eggs and pancakes.

This hotel is located right by the sea and offers direct beach access. It’s the perfect place to relax, with a private terrace where you can sunbathe undisturbed. Our room was well-equipped, very clean, and exceptionally quiet as it was located in the garden.

Closeness to those crystal clear, beautiful ocean waves! Access down the stairs off the balcony for a swim, and straight back up the stairs to breakfast or dinner (with a quick shower on the way!) The Ultimate Beach Stay!
