Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaWe came in low season and there were barely any staff there. When we arrived, we searched for a while before we found a staff member who checked us in. Also they locked the hotel gates so we could not get in when we came back at 11pm. Had to call the hotel number on a local line to get someone to come open it for us. I thought we were going to have to climb the fence!
Very close to beach, only a one minute walk. Loved the room and the beds were super comfortable. AC worked great. Staff were nice and breakfast was good.

United KingdomWe have just stayed for 3 weeks in the excellent Bagamoyo spice villa in beautiful Zanzibar. It has a beautiful garden and clean airconditioned rooms. Thank you so much for looking after us! Mr Square gave excellent guest attention. Massive thank you to the restaurant staff Islam and Esta who provided everything with a smile and really made it a home from home. Breakfasts were plenty of fruit with toast, crepes, juice and fresh cooked eggs however we liked them including Spanish omelette. Dinner in the restaurant was plentiful with lots of choice. When we went on trips breakfast was provided early. The room had 2 double beds, aircon, fan, walk in shower, fridge and kettle. The beach was less than a minute walk from the gate. We has excellent trips to Stonetown, the blue lagoon, Nacupenda sandbank and snorkelled at Mnemba and Tumbatu islands seeing dolphins jumping next to the boat. On the day trips we had a lobster, seafood, chips and fruit lunch. For trips I would highly recommend Nassor (+255 777 380 255) from the Union building on the nearest beach. He always made sure we were looked after and if we went in a taxi without him he would meet us at the hotel to show us the taxi and meet us again when we arrived back to make sure the trip was good. If you like good coffee Victoria has a great coffee shop 1 min walk towards the square. And we would highly recommend the Blue Sea restaurant on the beach - great for sunsets and fabulous food! We found Zanzibar very safe (violent crime is virtually unheard of even in Stonetown) and the people very friendly and passionate about their beautiful island. The Tanzanian and Masai traders/always had time to chat as well as sell souvenirs. They loved hearing about snow! Please respect the locals tradition and support their trade - there are many bargains to be found with a bit of friendly negotiation. No one ever seems to get upset and the sayings Hakuna Matata and pole pole (slowly, slowly) aptly describe the vibe here.

United Arab EmiratesI think the hotel could be upgraded at very little cost. Better curtains for sure and either some pictures on the walls or murals painted. All these things are readily available to you in the village.
The breakfast was very good. I only had one other meal at the hotel but it was good and good value. I was very happy that the hotel changed my room because the bathroom was not suitable for me but the bed in the second room was not comfortable.

LatviaEverything ideal.
Very close to beach, big spacious grounds with trees and green, and very quiet. Nungwi is a dense village, with people on top of one another, and lots of big crowded hotels. I was surprised to find such green oasis of peace so close to the beach for a price of budget hotel. Wanted to book my next stay there. Sadly it was already fully booked. Obviously. Very good breakfast served nicely in the garden, plentiful, well presented and delicious

FranceThe bed is too small, I'm 1.87 m tall and my feet were sticking out of the bed. The shower water is boiling hot and dangerous, and takes several minutes to reach the right temperature.
Location close to the beach and restaurants, friendly staff, fresh fruit juice at breakfast. External foot-washing shower at the entrance to the room..

HungaryWater pressure could have been better, but it is a minor inconvenience. More lights would have been nice.
Good location. Nice and helpful staff, always with a smile. The fridge and the kettle were super helpful. We liked tbe the foot washer, it helped to keep the room cleaner. We liked to relax on the balcony. The garden was nice and well kept, we particularly liked the breakfast area. You could choose the type of egg you want, have fruits and pancake, toast bread, coffee and tea. 2 mins from the ocean, easy to reach multiple beaches and restaurants. Taxis amd shops nearby. Try Fresh Corner for a non-instant coffee in Nungwi. You feel safe in this fenced off paradise garden. Overall a very good value for money!
