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.).

The rooms are very clean and neat. Olivia and her staff were super friendly, kind and supportive. Highly recommended and we'd be happy to come back again.

GermanyWe loved our stay at Aivilo! Olivia is a very caring host and we felt most welcome at her house. The breakfast on her patio surrounded by her garden was just perfect and the room was very clean. We enjoyed the proximity to the airport (Olivia also offers airport transfer) and we felt very safe in the neighborhood, even when we were out at nighttime. Olivia also gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner just around the corner.

Olivia has been able with her genuine caring and kindness to take hospitality to another level. after 30 years of traveling and experiencing hundreds of hotels (including 7 stars in Dubai). This small guest house was able to express in genuine actions the real meaning of home away from home. with everything thing having a personal touch: clean, safe, beautiful, excellent breakfast… and once I am late to come back in the evening, I found her there waiting for me to assure her guest well-being. thank you Olivia

We were accommodated for only one night, and not the whole one, because we were flying out early in the morning at 4:00 a.m. Even so, we had a wonderful stay, the owner Olivia is wonderful. The last day of our 7-days safari got complicated, because the bridge through which we were supposed to get to the airport in Entebbe was damaged by a strong stream of water and was closed. We arrived in Aivila tired and hungry. They prepared an amazing dinner for us, despite the fact that we only booked accommodation with breakfast. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, the staff nice. Many thanks! It was our shortest stay so far, but we will definitely never forget it.
