Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United KingdomThis is a stunning small hotel. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated. We had a lovely porch with private garden and direct access to the pool. The communal spaces are beautiful too. The team are very helpful and attentive whilst also giving privacy. The grounds are exquisite. This was exceptional value for money. Loved it.

United KingdomNo bath salts for the stylish stand alone bath. The bubble bath did the trick and the rain shower had strong pressure. Enjoyed the lighting and wooden shutters, there is a sense of understated luxury in the clean lines and scale of the room.
Tranquil, luxurious with great spaciousness and attention to detail in the design. Excellent chef. Lovely pool outside my room and mature verdant gardens. Outdoor living room of huge scale, really beautiful space to work in.

United StatesAccess to town for those without a rental car would have been nice. I didn't feel safe walking on the roads alone. For someone like me who likes to exercise there were not any options other than a small pool.
If you are looking for a peaceful, calm and serene stay then this place is perfect. As a solo traveler staying for 5 nights it was too much...next time I would split my time between one of their other properties and this one

KenyaThere are some repairs that need to be done on pool deck and on the wooden rungs on the wall separating the pool from the garden. A light on the wall is also loose.
The property is in a quiet, safe neighborhood of Lilongwe. The property comprises of 4 lovely rooms, beautiful gardens and a Pool. I loved the lounge and dining spaces - diverse, well thought out and gives residents great space to sit, work and eat. There is also a barbeque area. The rooms are large with great decor. They also have an outdoor verandah where you can sit. The pool was close to my room and a nice garden. I love nature and the green elephant has great natural space (Gardens). It was amazing waking up to the chirping of birds. The meals are very good, Leonard does a great Job and will work to accommodate your preferences if the menu for the day is not to your taste. I did not need to go out to dine. You can have one to three course meals here. I also liked the concept of the Honest bar. The staff are very helpful - Ganisani especially is always on hand to assist- and he keeps his word and timing- I really appreciated this very much coz it is rare these days. He is a great team leader and works well with the other workers. I really enjoyed my stay here... it is my kind of place - Cozy, warm, great food, well-tended gardens and lovely staff.
