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 reviewHotel in close to the airport. Food very good, room clean. They also prepare breakfast in the middle of the night if you happen to have an early morning flight. They also arrange airport transportation at a reasonable price. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Noise in the room from the road and from the restaurant until late at night.

Verified reviewClose to the airport, dark rooms intended for sleep, restaurant open 24 hours. They packed breakfast for us to take at 2am.
The sheets in our room were too small and didn't fit the bed. It was a little bit comical actually.

It is quite noisy in the early morning because of its proximity to the airport.

Verified reviewLocation, location, location: for early morning flight it was super convenient to airport.
Staff were VERY loud chatting, laughing, making noise when trying to get some sleep at 11pm. The staff also gave me some attitude when asking to keep it quiet so we could sleep in the rooms, and didn’t immediately quieten down. Staff was also very disinterested and sleeping when got up early for flight. Requested the room specifically in the booking with 3 separate beds, and it wasn’t setup like that when we arrived. We had to wait 30minutes while they set it up on checkin. No one was present for checkout.
Dear Bradley, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry your stay did not meet expectations and truly regret the inconvenience you experienced. The noise from our team at night and the attitude you encountered when asking for quiet are unacceptable. We've addressed this directly with our staff to ensure greater professionalism and respect for our guests' rest in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the room not being prepared as requested at check-in and the absence of staff during your early checkout. We are currently reviewing our procedures to improve coordination and ensure better staff availability at all hours, especially for guests with early or late schedules. Your feedback is important to us, and we are using it to make improvements. Warm regards, Malcom Hotel Manager – 27 Café Zanzibar Airport Hotel
