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.).

This is probably my favourite low price accommodation that’s on the coast. The staff are super friendly and they make an effort to make the place unique. The food is very good and the drinks are decent. It’s a very affordable and cool place to stay. I’d definitely go back.

I was working remotely and stayed at Sagando for a few days to relax while working on my laptop. It exceeded all our expectations! The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, creating a friendly and peaceful atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious—every meal felt like a treat. Sagando offered the perfect blend of tranquility and functionality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy and inspiring getaway! Thank you Mohammed, Calista, Catherine, Mussa, to the chef and all the people that welcomed us!

PolandNothing to complain. Everything was just excellent.
Amazing lodge with beautiful garden and nicely designed rooms (the bathroom outside was an additional attraction). Staff is very kind and friendly - greetings to Veronica, Idris and Kalista for making our stay even greater. Sagando is also very close to the beach - just a few minutes walk. I recommend it to everyone.

SloveniaDue to power cuts, our A/C was beeping occasionally and musquitoes can be quite frequent on this location. Service could be less polepole. :)
Close to the beach, yet private enough to have its own ecosystem. There is a campsite, which comes alive at night. If there are enough people, they have their own drums, so you can drum along or just chill drinking whatever you like. Extremely joyful staff also!

South AfricaThe room was slightly hot and the fan could have been a bit better, there are more noises at night with local music around but not a bad sound to hear. More bugs around as the property is away from the wind, but to bugs are to be expected and they remind you of the surrounding presence of nature. The only issue with the room I had was that the shower drain clogged and didn't smell great, but otherwise it is a very natural, warm, and friendly place to stay! Would definitely recommend.
Super friendly staff, amazing food -breakfast included but the dinner menu was also delicious. Nice short walk to the beach, many places to relax around the property both private and communal. Very peaceful with the birds and forest around. Bonfires at night.

The staff was amazing, they always ensured that we had what we needed at all times. The bungalow we were staying in was great. There is an amazing entrance where you can relax. It is very close to the beach, a local bar and a few restaurants. The bungalows are fairly close to many turistic attractions and other turistic beaches (driving or bus). The food at Sagando is very tasty. We had an amazing time, it was lots of fun.

AustraliaThis was our third time at Sagando, we absolutely love it. The staff are wonderful - very friendly, happy and helpful. Excellent location among the trees (we loved watching the bush baby!) and a very quick walk to a stunning beach. Room was very clean and food delicious! Great price. We were sad we had to leave a day early but we will be back!
