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.).

CanadaThe AC in room one didn't work. Room 2 had AC but location was further back and didn't seem part of resort. Room 3 had very slow AC but no fridge.
Location is amazing. Breakfast is huge and very good. Staff were very friendly.

EstoniaA lot of electricity cuts and very weak electrical grid. Seems to be a general problem in Kendwa. On a plus side lights in the room stayed functional during grid blackouts so we were not in complete darkness even when there was no electricity otherwise.
What we liked - We got a message with precise instructions how to reach the property on the day of arrival. - Room was spacious - Bed was huge and comfortable - The brightness of the light in the room was smoothly adjustable - The window had good quality mosquito net that could be moved if needed - Good shelves for storing luggage - Breakfast was tasty and had different fruits every day of our stay - Very good beach within 1 minute of walking distance - The host was always very helpful It is a basic accommodation in a good way.

United StatesThe gave us the wrong room due to overbooking. The management is a mess. However, they agreed with % discount to compensate the downgrading. Wifi barely works as they use it from the restaurant next to it. Very outdated and expensive for what you got.
Location is great! AC works well.

Great location! Great and tasty breakfast but simple. Nice and helpful hosts. It’s a no frills kind of place so you get what you pay for. Next to the house is a really nice restaurant we ate at everyday.

TurkeyThe room I stayed (room 206) was big, clean and comfortable. If you're not staying in one of the two rooms in the front, you won't have the sea view. I can't say anything about the breakfast, because I always left earlier than breakfast time. I used the room only to sleep, so read this review based on this fact. It's definitely value for money as the location is very good. Would I stay here again, yes.

The accommodation is right on the beach, perfect for a relaxing beach holiday. The staff were also kind enough to provide us with takeaway items for breakfast as we had an early start on the day of our departure.

United StatesThe accommodations are very basic. It would have been nice to have an additional chair or table or suitcase stand inside the room. That said it was quite comfortable there.
The location is unbeatable. At the bottom of the steps starts the sand leading to one of the nicest beaches in Zanzibar. It's right next door to restaurants and activities.

Everything was great except for the harsh white light inside and outside on the balcony. Some warm white light would have been nice to make it more comfortable. Maybe it can be improved with lamp color or new warm white collored lamps? (just a suggestion)
