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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

NetherlandsLocation. If you want to see a decent beach then it takes quite a walk to get there. The beach that is close is literally covered in smelly dead seaweed and rubbish. And another thing was power cuts. Loads of them... And lights... The bathroom is pitch dark it was a challenge to get myself shaved there.
Overall we liked our stay there especially the vibe and friendly staff. It's a nice place with a tropical mood.

KenyaMy first night i slept in a dormitory and I had to change to a private room the following day. I felt the bathrooms were quite far and the dormitories are neglected. The room was just basic with no toiletries. WiFi can be utilised only around the restaurant and not in the rooms.
The staff were quite friendly and ready to help where needed. Breakfast was great. Location of the property is good Haji ( the driver) was very helpful in organising for tours and any transfers needed. Room well lit.

BrazilThe toilets are outside of the room, so during the night, it is uncomfortable to go to the toilet. The swimming pool seems to be enormous in the picture but it isn't, it's quite small, but good. The lodge is quite far from the main/touristic concentration of people. You have to be back to the lodge before it gets dark. Otherwise, it's dangerous, especially if you are a woman travelling Solo. I recommend you rent a car, that you can explore the whole sout of zanzibar.
The place is beautiful and instragramable! Haha, the staff are very friendly and gentle. The swimming pool is delicious. I rent a car, and it facilitates a lot.. I could go in the other places I wanted without spending much money.

United StatesThe location is a bit of a challenge because there is nothing else closer than Paje, and it's not actually on the beach. The Lodge charges really high prices for taxis and bottled water....3x the rate in town. Which was frustrating for me. Thursday nights there is a loud party until 4 am and you won't sleep so keep that in mind when booking.
The lodge and the gardens surrounding it are really nice. It's a little oasis from the heat since the beach has no shade. The staff are friendly and nice. The dorm is comfortable and kept very clean. The pool is refreshing and there are lots of comfortable places to chill and chat with the other guests. The breakfast is good.

GermanySafe too small and can be easily opened. Need to cross a bigger road to get to the beach. Far away from Paje..always need a taxi. It's ok but just be aware in case it's important to you. Great driver with good fair prices. :)
People were friendly. I didn't see any other tourist, so it was quiet. Bathroom facilities and showers basic but cozy somehow and for sure clean. Had something rural:) Room was cleaned daily.

United StatesA bit quiet for me as a solo traveler. Mostly large groups or families, so not the best vibe for finding other solo travelers to link with for activities or meals. I'm working remotely and there wasn't really great spaces to set up (though I didn't expect that there would be and went into town for wifi/workspace).
Kind and attentive staff, good value compared to what I found in area. Safe and secure, relaxed. Decent wifi in public space. A bit of a trek to Paje, but I enjoyed the walk. Thursday night BBQ and party was fun and well-attended - even with the party going until 3-4am, it was quiet enough in my room when I went to sleep around 1am.

Great staff with a nice breakfast and clean sanitary facilities. In addition the lodge is well located just in the middle between Paje and Jambiani. The beach is just across the road. The lodge’s accommodation is surrounded by original Zanzibar vegetation which makes it very relaxing, easier and faster to ground. The swimming pool is also a delight. Just big and deep enough and well maintained daily

South AfricaThere’s nowhere to wash the sand off your feet before entering the rooms. I also didn’t like that the wifi doesn’t reach the rooms. It’s a bit far from Paje and Jambiani so a taxi or Boda-boda is needed to go somewhere, but the staff were very helpful with organising this.
Great food, awesome, friendly staff, and nice personal touches like flowers on the bedsheets.
