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...).

GermanyEnjoyed being in this hotel. All the furniture made of old boat wood, only glass bottles, no plastic and very eco-style attitude - it is nice. Food as well - all was home made: jams and all the pastry for breakfasts. Extremely tasty mayonnaise with French fries - took a recipe from the Chef. Nice pool and good beach to swim while high tide only.

BrazilI recently stayed at Z-Lodge, and it was a fantastic experience. The lodge is right on the beach, with all rooms and the restaurant super close to the Indian Ocean. From the moment we arrived we were greeted warmly at the reception with refreshing coconut water and given a quick, easy-going orientation. It was a great start. Our room was wonderful—spacious, bright, and filled with charming, authentic furniture made from aged wood. The standout feature for us was the lounge area in the restaurant. They’ve creatively used old boats as seats, giving us a perfect view of the ocean 24/7 with the relaxing sound of the waves in the background. The restaurant menu is well thought out, with something for everyone, including vegan options. A huge shoutout to the chefs—the food was amazing and looked fantastic. The only small issue was the portion sizes—they were enormous, and we often couldn't finish our meals. But the restaurant staff were always smiling and ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfasts were particularly special, especially with the beautiful sunrise. The selection was delicious, with plenty of fruits, drinks, and pastries that looked so tempting, though I was on a diet! For families, there’s a great area with board games, Lego, drawing supplies, and other toys, which kept the kids entertained for hours. It’s a perfect spot for those traveling with children. We also went on some excursions, and the Kiwengwa Reef tour was a highlight. It was an incredible experience and definitely worth it. Overall, our stay at Z-Lodge was cozy and full of positive vibes. I highly recommend it!

QatarThe room I was staying in had a foul smell(I believe due to the shower drain). Not a complaint, just a heads up- the mattresses are hard.
The location is perfect for a chilled holiday! The facilities they have ensure that, if you’d like to just stay and relax there, you are able to(there’s two swimming pools, direct access to the beach, bar, restaurant…). I have never felt this welcomed before by staff, they really make you feel welcome and help with any problem/queries you might have. They also organise tours from the property. Food in the restaurant is great.

CanadaWe had a large, clean room with an ocean view. The restaurant and the food met our expectations and even exceeded them in some areas, especially the quality of the cocktails made with delicious natural fruits and juices. Perfect breakfasts, best avocados ever. The beautiful ocean view, with the ocean just a few steps away from all the rooms, made it perfect. This is a small and very cozy spot for those who want seclusion and complete relaxation.

LatviaBeach isn't appropriated for swimming and relaxing. At the middle of the day the beach is quite dirty. Native inhabitants are too noisy and tend to disturb all the time. The best place to relax is in the hotel, because for natives it's prohibited to enter the hotel's territory.
Breakfast was excellent, fine pool for children.

BREAKFASTS buffet and menu had a big choice of fresh fruits and home-made pastry or freshly made options of eggs and vegetarian food. Cocktails were amazing - special thanks to Sammy from the bar. Room was huge and decorated with all natural materials. We did't sea any plastic in the hotel. It is a sunrise side of the island, and we had a sun rising from the ocean and a beautiful moon on the same side- very beautiful. Tropical weather+tropical garden were in harmony with each other. Did't feel like Africa - not too hot, but ocean was really warm, a lot of plants and refreshing breeze from the ocean. And the last one - fresh and delicious seafood and fish right from the ocean - we have seen the deliveries from Fishermen.

UkraineThank you Z-Lodge Hotel for a special vibe and excursion experiences in Zanzibar - it was unforgettable and very emotional stay. Lack of ocean during tides did disturb me before coming, but 2-3 hours of high tide time was enough to swim in the ocean every day. Delicious dishes and cocktails at the restaurant was very important part of vocation. Shortly- Happy with my choice.
