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.).

I have stayed for 5 days at villa Arumeru and I recommend wholeheartedly, the rooms are large, nicely decorated and with fantastic beds, my room had a large balcony overlooking the pool and a really big and nice bathroom. But most importantly the staff at villa Arumeru is fantastic, they cater to all your needs before you even know have them, everybody treats you with smiles and friendliness. On top of that the place is impeccably clean and the food is good - I will for sure come back.

The hotel was beautiful. The room was quite large, with a very comfortable terrace and a very nice bed. The best part, besides the food, was the staff who were always at our disposal, trying to help us with everything we needed. The place is highly recommended for more than one day.

United KingdomThe location was down a very rough road. I think most hotels probably are but I wasn’t expecting how bad the road was. Taxi found it fine though
The staff were amazing. They went out of their way to make our 25th anniversary special. They decorated the room with rose petals, baked a cake and other lovely touches.

AustriaFrom the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The lush, beautifully maintained gardens provided a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation, while our room was both comfortable and tastefully decorated, offering a blend of luxury and coziness. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, always ready with helpful tips and a genuine desire to make our stay memorable. The pool area was a peaceful haven, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration. Every detail, from the personalized service to the stunning surroundings, contributed to an unforgettable experience. We left feeling rejuvenated and immensely grateful for such a wonderful stay, and we wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Villa Arumeru to anyone seeking a unique and enchanting retreat.

KenyaThis villa was everything and more. The staff went out of their way and made my husband's birthday memorable. The decorations for his surprise birthday celebration were on point, the cake, dinner, champagne, everything was perfect. The rooms are spacious. The bed was very comfortable. We had a beautiful balcony with views of Mt Meru. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. I'd recommend their natural juice which was very good. They also have a massage and salon on site. And they had a taxi guy with reasonable rates who drove us whenever we needed transport. Overall I'd 10/10 recommend Villa Arumeru. The hospitality of the staff is unmatched.

United StatesAircon was noisy and didn't work very well (finally cooled down in my room middway through the night). Not a complaint, but something to be aware of: the trip in a taxi to get to the hotel is quite an adventure - the hotel is quite far (~10 minutes) off the main paved road, and the roads leading there are dirt and very pitted, so just be prepared! But it is worth the trip (in my opinion!).
Lovely, welcoming staff that went above and beyond for me and were really communicative. Room / closet / bathroom were huge. Property was really beautiful - stunning outside area.

United KingdomThe location is fantastic, but the road leading up to it is really really rough. If you wish to stay here, I’d recommend you use a 4x4 to get there as one night we got stuck on the road in a taxi.
We loved the secluded location of the hotel, tucked away from the hustle and bustle. It was quiet and the staff were warm and welcoming. They couldn’t do enough to help us, even going to extra measures after a night of being ill. The room was super comfy and clean, with a big balcony, air con and Netflix on the TV. The food was good, the breakfast was lovely and all in all we loved our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Arusha.

United KingdomNot much to dislike here as great attention is paid to guest wellbeing
The approach by road is interesting and will test your drivers dexterity, sense of direction and the vehicle's suspenbsion as you make your way through some very rough backroads. Staying out of season (late Nov) I was the only guest but the staff were very accomodating and pleasant. As a blind guest travelling solo they were increasibly helpful and attentive.

The property is a real gem hidden in Arusha city, 20 mnts from the airport. We spent one night there after a safari and the service was impeccable ( they even cleaned our dusty shoes!), the room was spotless and really nicely decorated. They also have a really nice cute garden with a small outdoor bar and pool where we sat down after dinner. It deserves a 10!
