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.).

NetherlandsThe internet connection wasn't great, which wasn't convenient.
Cosy small bungalow hotel. Very clean, delicious food, modern rooms. Well thought of design of the rooms and the territory of the hotel. Quiet, even though it is surrounded by bars and restaurants. Several beaches super close to choose from and, a lively market with local souvenirs and food nearby. The owners were very helpful when we needed to store our luggage several days prior to the check-in. Upon arrival we have also received all the useful information about the infrastructure around, the best places and times to go there. Very helpful.

Everything was perfect without any exception. Hotel staff was very kind, Alp had also helpful tips for us. Breakfast was delicious and varied. Hotel restaurant was also very good. The room had everything needed (fridge, AC, fan, hair dryer etc.). Very good located, 2 min away from main Nungwi beach. By late check out possibility to leave the luggage at reception and stay chilling at the pool with shower and WC available.

DenmarkIf you do not like cats and dogs, this is not the place for you. My only regret was to only stay one night.
This hotel will make you feel like home! It is rather small, but that only makes it more cosy. The host was welcoming and helped me storage my luggage after check-out - I was even allowed to use the common areas still during the Day. I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is staying in Nungwi! And I will be back for sure. Great value for money.

TurkeyThe breakfast was better compared to other hotels nearby, but it could be much improved. The fried foods and eggs, in particular, could be better. (It's generally the same around Zanzibar)
We have spent around a week at this hotel and nearby hotels. It has a great location near the seaside. The staff, especially Mr. Alp, were very positive and helpful. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-furnished with new items. Mosquito nets on the beds were in perfect condition and effective. The air conditioning worked very well. Pool was clean, the sunbeds and hammocks were comfortable. Loved the upcycled local materials in decor & abundance of art pieces everywhere. We pretty much enjoyed staying here. They offer transfer from/to airport for a reasonable price which i would definitely recommend. Also while there were fewer mosquitoes on the outdoor places of the hotel than at nearby hotels, caution is still advised.

Belgiumlocation is in the north of Zanzibar, meaning quite far to visit the whole island and particularly the south part
The managers are really kind, very calm location, near everything (beach, restaurants, bars...), nice swimming pool, size of rooms is perfect, excellent and rich breakfast from 7.30 till when you want!, restaurant open the whole day and food is tasteful, possibility to schedule transfer from and/to airport with an excellent driver and a nice van, clear communication from the manager to detail all possibilities...

Babalao Bungalows was exceptionally good. Alp was an excellent host. He was extremely helpful. The food was amazing. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The accommodation was very artistically designed with fabulous art works all over. Alp really knows how to run a good ship. The property was 300 meters to the beach and close to shops and an ATM. The food was fabulous definitely the best in Nungwi. I can definitely recommend Babalao to anyone coming to Nungwi.
