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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

South AfricaNone of the bungalows have a toilet or a shower. All amenities (toilets/bathroom) are common. It's a real camping accomodation. Considering the beautiful location, in the middle of the mangrove....the sea is far at low tide if you want to swim. But it compensates with excellent swimming pool
The location is exceptional, walking distance from the village and the "harbour", the staff (Enrico) is very helpful and super client oriented. Breakfast is excellent. The single formula for the dinner is perfect, efficient, as it is an island (every grocery is imported from Maputo) and a guarantee of freshness.

United StatesTours are quite pricey, and bicycles were not available, so bring your own snorkel gear or books for entertainment. Breakfast is pricey, but even in town, the prices are high.
My accommodation was a simple traditional round hut, with a fan, and communal toilets and showers. Staff are friendly and helpful, always smiling, which made my stay enjoyable. I managed to get my 3 dinners without meat as well, thanks. Be warned that the public ferry doesn't run on Tuesday or Thursday, information that wasn't transmitted to me despite arranging a pickup from the ferry dock. Transport by speed boat was 3X the ferry price. Still, I really did enjoy the tranquility of the island and appreciated a dip in the small pool and the cushioned lounge chairs.

United StatesBreakfast is supposedly served starting at 7:30 but good luck getting anything other than self serve coffee before 9:30. Some vegetarian food options would be welcome. Food can take a looong time. Get the twin instead of double as mosquito net is small for double bed and doesn’t really work for 2 people. A few tweaks by management could perhaps bring a little more profit and lead to better service, but overall it’s a great place with a wonderful vibe.
Relaxed chill vibe, camp manager is always working with a smile and helping to arrange things. There is a slow effort to improve some things. Cost for items like soda etc is very reasonable and they regularly give a ride into the village which is super nice. Conscious management in terms of not wanting things to develop too fast or squeeze every penny out of guests. Be ready to operate on “Moz time”—don’t expect to leave for things at the agreed time—just relax and everything will work out great.

South AfricaBathroom facilities were beautiful but handles didn't work and a shower drain didn't drain. Also one canoe is filled with water and you cant drain it.
I loved the atmosphere. It was peaceful and safe environment. I loved the cabins just needed more lighting.

SpainMaybe we came in a weird week but the camp looks almost abandoned. When something was needed no staff was around. The lack of management is noticeable and it looks chaotic. Really poor service in general, not really clean and tidy. The cabin was ok even though they door has not a lock or key and you don’t feel full secure. It was a disappointing experience and not worth money.
The place is nice, really natural and right on the beach. The guys working there are friendly.

United KingdomThe property and accommodation broadly feels quite old and is need of refurbishment. The staff, whilst nice, didn't seem particularly interested in running the place. There were limited food options within the accommodation. Having said the above, the on site staff did assist with organising day trips and providing milk when asked for. The pool clearly had not been cleaned in some time. Moreover, whilst the government ferry isn't running there was the offer of a private boat. The private boat was offered in the currency of South African Rand, different to that of the Mozambique currency, which i should have realised and so the host was true and correct in the offer/the price of the boat. The host therefore did tell the truth and the error was on my part for not realising. None the less, one might reasonably expect the price of a service to be quoted in the country currency, not a different one. When taken in the round, I wouldn't stay here again and wouldn't recommend others to stay.

PortugalThe manager wasn't prepared to receive guest. When he took us to see the accommodation, the car was wrecked, you couldn't even open the door from the inside, one of the windows didn't work and the driver seemed to be under the influence of alcohol and that was a red flag for us. The rooms didn't have lock which was disturbing and due to that we left the facilities immediately. I was still charged a 50% fee for the reservation which was upsetting, and to make it even worse, the manager didn't have the car working to take us to the beach, he was waiting for a piece to arrive at shore so he could fix it. I do not recommend whatsoever.

Czech RepublicManico Camp is an excellent place to relax and to stay in nature outside of the city hustle. It has everything needed – a greatly equipped kitchen, it is very safe and quiet. At night, you can make a bonfire and there is a bar on the property where you can buy water and drinks. All the common areas are spotlessly clean. I appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. In the closest village, you can find a small shop and an outdoor fruit/vegetable market (open every day).
