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.).

South AfricaThe bathroom needed some work. Towels were a little thin and looked very used. Better cleaning in the bathroom.
Nice bed and AC works well. Room was clean and there was water in the room on arrival.

NetherlandsDue to an early flight, we tried going to sleep early and it was quite noisy.
Stayed for a single night due to an early flight the following morning. For a single night and the price, the stay was perfect. Reaching the airport was an around 20-25 minutes walk.

PolandOn our arrival, we faced misscommunication regarding check-in timing: instead of 30-40 minutes (as told by receptionist), it was 1,5 hours. In the middle of this time we were told it's gonna be 5 more minutes only, to wait for another 40... If we knew, we would go to enjoy Stone Town instead of walking around the hotel & waiting at the reception.
Proximity to the airport.

SwitzerlandThey use an insect spray with a very strong aroma. Benefit there were no insects in the room.
Conveniently close to the airport. We used the hotel for our evening flight, mainly as a place to drop off our luggage during the day, while visiting Stone Town, and have a shower before our flight. The street is busy but when you walk in it is like a green oasis. The restaurant serves a good pizza 24/7. They had a deal on 2 for 1 on Friday.

South AfricaA little run down, needs some uplift me. Also needs a bit more things to do while at the place. Rooms are a bit too basic, can do with a little warmth and face lift. Beds can also be more comfy & food a little more spread. Otherwise, for convenience to and from airport, this is the one and the price is just right...
Convenience from the airport to this hotel esp at late arrival & early departure, is the winner. We landed late and were picked up by Abdul Kareem, a young, but really lovely guy who waited for us even though our flight was delayed by a whooping 6hrs. He not only waited till midnight for our arrival, but he communicated with us via WhatsApp to keep us posted of his whereabouts as this was our very first visit to Zanzibar & arriving this late was a bit worrying, but he put us to ease & took us to the hotel safely. We ended up using him for all our island travels and back to airport again. A real trusted gem from Popo Tours & Safaris in Zanzibar....
