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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United KingdomBed was very firm - ok for me, wife would have liked it softer. Breakfast was same every day but thats kind of understandable - a bean to cup coffee maker would be good as well as option to have fruit smoothies already made up.
Good location with numerous bars and restaurants close by if not dining / staying in (we chose breakfast option over all inclusive cos we like to go out and try other places). Fantastic friendly and helpful staff. Lovely manicured gardens. WiFi was solid and good - no issues. Would recommend.

TanzaniaFacilities are average for price. The Food was also average if compared to nearby hotels located in Nungwi and Kendwa that are in the same price range. The food variety was more pork based so for non pork eaters variety is very little. Better to take the half board or full board as the food is expensive and the menu is limited to buffet menu mostly so either way on Ala carte the waiter will get you from buffet when you order and the price is expensive (for Tanzania) around $10 per dish. Not being able to receive booking payment on site is a let down as local Tanzanians many don’t use credit cards to pay online.
The staff go above and beyond especially in the restaurant (my wife has a phobia with cats so they made sure the cats don’t come near her in the restaurant). Location is amazing. Extended check out for 40min free of charge.

SwitzerlandWifi needs urgently to be improved, bad wifi in the rooms, outside works quite well. So not recommended for work when needed wifi. Main pool looks on the pictures bigger, it‘s quite small, but still nice ocean view and enjoyable. Also on the pictures it showes much less sunbeds, when arriving it is crowded with sunbeds. But when you get a spot more on the side you can easily ignore them. Gym looks super old and odd, nothing you really would like to train inside.
This Hotel has a good price performance ratio, so that we extended two nights more. Hotel facility looks qute, a bit like a small village. The personal very friendly, good morning buffed with freshly made eggs and pancackes, nice beach area, good shower in the room.

EthiopiaThe only issue was the large number of Maasai on the beach, but compared to other beaches, they weren't persistent when you said no.
The location was fantastic. When the tide is low, you can walk all the way to Kendwa beach. The tide was very minimal. The breakfast options were quite adequate and tasty.The bar staff and housekeeping were very friendly and helpful. A big thank you to all of them.

United KingdomWould be nice to have a free bottle of water and not have to worry about losing towels (towel cards) and modernise the safe (to be code/ electric vs key). Internet on and off.
Location is great - beachfront and has white powder beach feeling like stepping on flour, and not much of seaweed. Breathtaking view of the sea and sunset. 5 min walk to the small town or restaurants. Lots of choices for excursion. Hotel itself is beautiful and well managed. Staff friendly. 3 swimming pools. Food was ok at fair prices. Rooms are air conditioned and very clean. Good value for money.

SwitzerlandNot enough activities at the hotel. Became a little boring at times. The menu was also boring. Dessert was limited. For example, my family and I didn't like the dessert but only ate the pineapples. Suddenly we were restricted to the quantity we could take. This was cheap! Shower in my bathroom was broken, water filled the bathroom floor each time we showered.
Staff were very friendly yet professional. However, my grandson had a birthday, on July 30th, we requested a birthday cake, with the traditional singing and dancing, but HE DID NOT GET THIS BIRTHDAY wish. We requested one day before. It was confirmed, but never happened. I liked the shows after dinner.

United KingdomBreakfast had loads of choice but for English people it would be good to have consistent options eg bacon and baked beans each day instead of just one each day.The egg stations are great. The Masaii on the beach are a bit annoying but just be firm and polite and keep walking! The security guards were seen to step in if they can see guests getting hassled.
A lovey hotel in a fantastic spot on a beautiful beach.Lovely early morning beach walks. The hotel has security guards who patrol the beach and ensure only My Blue guests can enter the hotel grounds. Three lovely swimming pools with one- infinity pool- overlooking the beach.A great spot to relax and people watch.Lots of sunbeds even when full. The sunsets are directly ahead and stunning.You can walk along the beach at night for 5- 10 mins where there are bars and restaurants with a great relaxed vibe. Food is good quality and plentiful..they have different set ups each night for meals, sometimes setting up the restaurant on the beach.The effort the staff go to is incredible! There was traditional entertainment at night.We did not take evening meal but could take ad- hoc for $20 per person, so we mixed these nights with meals locally..Mama Mia restaurant was grea and loved Makofi restaurant. The staff at My Blue restaurant and bars were really friendly.Prepare for the areas around the hotels in Zanzibar to be unkempt..at first we were disappointed with our arrival at My Blue -however- we have since seen far worse in Zanzibar and My Blue is a great mix.Its top end mid range..not the luxury of Royal Zanzibar but then you are not paying those prices ! We moved to Paje..didn't like it (very windy- no sunsets- no relaxing beach due to wind) so are going back to My Blue for 2 more nights. We know that we will have a lovely experience here to end our holiday. We are very fussy English guests and we found My Blue to have everything we needed. Enjoy!

SwitzerlandA four star resort that doesn’t even leave two bottles of water in the room?! And, there is no decent real coffee at breakfast, just mono doses of instant coffee! Apart from the environmental concerns that such behaviour raises, it’s such a poor offer! Even guesthouses would have better options!
Amazing sea and beach, great that we could check out at twelve and still use the beach facilities in the afternoon. Location is great, less crowded than kendwa and less hustle from the Masai and beach boys. Prices are faire. The resort is pretty and well kept, especially the gardens, not too big nor crowded. Room was spacious and had a nice balcony.
