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 reviewGreat location! Very close to the beach and to the main road, everything is within walking distance and it's safe to walk around. The room is very clean and has a nice bathroom. We had a room with airconditioning and a fan, which was really good to cool down at night. Breakfast is great! there is coffee, tea, juice, fresh fruits, cake, toast, eggs... The owners and staff are really friendly and helpful. It was possible to arrange activities, taxi, ... they also reccomended a few restaurants nearby. The garden has a small pool with enough space tot just get refreshed, thé garden is also very peaceful and has a few nice spots to relax, you can also chill in the main area downstairs, on the first floor or on the rooftop.
There is no restaurant for lunch and dinner but that was no problem at all, as the staff showed us a long list of optional restaurants nearby. If you are a light sleeper, bring some earplugs for the night because of the mosque nearby. 😁

Verified reviewStayed for five nights. It is two minutes away from the beach. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, the shower was good and breakfast was good. The pool is small to swim but we preferred the beach so it was not a problem for us. I recommend, it is a good stay.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was great(Flies were little bit annoying though). And the room itself was nicely decorated, so so clean, I have never seen any bugs(even mosquitoes!). The host and staffs are very kind and had hospitalites. Highly recommend this hotel and I'll stay at this hotel if I visit Zanzibar again.
No shampoo or showergel so don't forget to bring the amenities(I brought them, so no problem at all). The water pressure of the shower was a little low, and the duration was about 10 to 15 minutes(I switched on the hot water and waited for 1 hour or something), which was a little short for Asian women who like to take long showers(but the other hotel that I stayed in Zanzibar was same, so it is general level in Zanzibar, I guess). I understand the area is safe to walk at night, but the area was kind of "quiet" local people's residencial area, I was little bit scary to walk at night. The kind staff helped me to call the Tuktuk to take me to the restaurant, so it was not a problem though.

Verified review- The staff is incredibly nice - The room was neat, clean, had everything I needed including a mosquito net, small locker and airconditioning (make sure that the room you book says it has airconditioning if you want that) - The breakfast that is included is nice and quite a good portion unlike other places I’ve been - It’s a <2 minute walk from the beach - the bathroom looked nice and I had a relatively warm shower
- Most restaurants are a little further away to the left along the beach if you want to walk, but for me that wasn’t a great issue

Verified reviewFrom the moment I arrived, I immediately felt like home. We enjoyed a really cute & cozy garden, breakfast was delicious, and the hospitality of the staff made me feel even more like I'm home. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. And the location is absolutely unbeatable! The beach is literally around the corner - okay, maybe 5 steps away hihi. If you’re looking for a place in Zanzibar that combines comfort, charm, perfect location, this is YOUR choice. We can’t wait to come back ❤️

Verified reviewLocated very close to the beach, with extremely kind staff. The garden and pool area is quite nice, and the rooms as well.
Breakfast wasn’t the most varied and didn’t have juice, and the rooms didn’t have shampoo or shower gel.

Verified reviewOn top of a nice stay we could check out late free of charge as the room was not booked. So we could enjoy another morning at the beach.

Verified reviewLovely accommodation. Met our requirements. Good location and a minute away from the beach. The lady who owns the property is very helpful. She ensured to cater to the dietary requirements for my wife who is a pure vegetarian. The breakfast was very nice. Fresh and nutritious. The homemade cakes were an instant hit with us. The property is secure. Car parking is on the street but is secure enough.with camera coverage. The rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable.
The lighting in the room could have been better.

Verified reviewA nice hotel with a lovely little private garden. We were sick during our stay and really appreciated the garden - to be able to hang out there during the days and also use the little plunge pool. Clean room and super nice staff are other big plus with Zanzicrown. The location is not many steps from the beach, but still in a little private position. Which we liked. If you want to see the ocean there is a roof terrace for that :-) We would like to send a special thank to Nassor and the other guys working at the Zanzicrown for being so nice and helpful. We wish you all the luck! Take care of yourselves and all the cats <3
Thank you so much Yasmin for being with us, your availability and courtesy! greetings from all our cats!!

Verified reviewVery clean neat. Had good sleep. The location is right next to the beach. So I enjoyed swimming time in there.
The warm water was not working well. But it wasn't really big issue because it was hot
Many thanks for your review...have you try to on the heater??!
