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.).

IrelandReaction from staff when informed of having been threatened by and forced to give a bribe to traffic police, when driving to Paje. If this happened jn my country, hotel management would have taken details and reported it to authorities. "Relax" is not an appropriate response. Not a big issue for us,, but electricity was down alot.
Good pools, Great band on Friday nights Friendly staff in bar, restaurant for meals/ breakfast.

SwitzerlandLimited seating on the pool and beach.
Spacious appartement with air conditioning, drinking water, working kitchen, good internet and a balcony. The hotel complex is on the beach with beautiful views and near all the other restaurants and animated spot in Paje. There are some seating area near the pool and the beach but when the hotel is full it can be hard to find space. The breakfast is good, eggs and pancakes made on the spot, and you can buy special coffees (espresso, etc.). Staff is very friendly.

Our stay was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the food at the restaurant is very delicious. The breakfast was good with many choices that suits everyone. The location and the view from the room was really great. Beach front, but also not far from the Paje center. Would definitely recommend.

TanzaniaGenerators were often used to supplement the power when city power was cut. But not all the time. We had some very hot times at night. And one afternoon when we returned from the beach there was no power and no water for showering. The Swahili night was overpriced considering it was just food. No additional cultural content. (No live music due to death of former president). Food was good, but no ugali!! Or maharagwe, chapati, kisamvu...it could have been more authentic!
Great spot, good view of the sea, clean and tidy pool and pool area. Great breakfast. They arranged the spice tour/return taxi to Stone Town.bi love the fridge and hot drinks station.

United StatesOnly complaint that I would have, and it has nothing to do with the hotel, it has everything to do with the electric system within all of Africa and especially Tanzania and Zanzibar. There is not enough power generated to support the country and therefore air conditioning was not available some of the nights.
The restaurant provided excellent food and a lot of different choices I had booked an apartment and it was extremely spacious and very comfortable. The staff could not have the nicer and more helpful. Location was right on the beach, excellent

SloveniaBest hotel we stayed in Zanzibar. Nice big rooms, very clean, good aircon, kettle in the room, nice view, good breakfast. After Paje we went to Kendwa but we wanted to come back as all it was much better in Paje and frendlier people. With the sea the tide was not so terrible, so we could swim in the Ocean every day. Hotel has also reasonble prices of food and alcoholic drinks.

BulgariaThere is a city/tourist tax that wasn't written in booking, and we pay at the property.
We met the best staff there! All of them were really friendly, fast and with good level in English (it's not like that everywhere on the island). Perfect location for tourists and kitesurfers. There is a wonderful restaurant and surf school. Rooms are very spacious and clean. We had a great time in the hotel!

United StatesNo real complaints.
Paje's great feature is its location on the beach. The rooms are nice enough, not fancy. (But then, who comes here to hang in a hotel room?) There are a couple of more expensive and luxurious hotels very close by, but we have no regrets for staying here.

South AfricaAbsolutely nothing.
It's a lovely resort, right on the beach. The propertly and rooms are kept immaculately. The restaurant and bar provides wonderful cosy and comfortable seating areas where the hours just fly by as you enjoy the excellent food, music and atmosphere. The staff are simply superb. Service is quick and efficient, and so friendly. My elderly mom was with me, and I could not express my gratitude enough for their attention and concern for her. We are already planning our return next year!
