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.).

GermanyThe boda drivers sometimes didn’t know the place so I usually just took the boda to the Acasia mall and walk from there - max 5 min uphill. I didn’t mind the walk, just for you to keep in mind :)
I really enjoyed my stay here, very nice garden, bathroom and common areas were cleaned regularly. Great breakfast! The staff (with one exception) was super nice and helpful! We had some issues with the rain after a strong storm but John was very quick to find a solution for us. There is a good Indian restaurant, a cafe, mall and supermarket within walking distance.

FranceBreakfast is amazing, the garden is nice, you have access to a kitchen. Wifi is really poor in the main house (on and off) There are 2 houses, they put me in the one down. Not far but you have to get the 2 gates open, cross the road, go uphill. Feels a bit put aside. There are constructions around and people talking early in the morning by your window. The mattress in my small room was terrible. The luxury word is clearly misleading

KenyaFirst, I rate this place 9/10. If you are black ,expect racism from fellow guests and staff sometimes. (I know, crazy) Don't forget that no towel in the dorm room (unless you ask very nicely, i did , and they provided) Women beware of sex tourists (this is not the property's fault at all ) Shower pressure leaves something to be desired( better than other cities in uganda, and a hot shower is available always).
The outside space is fabulous, and the shared amenities are good. Amazing breakfast, the ladies in the kitchen are super lovely. Spectacular sunrise/Sunset View. Close to the mall and lots of places that you'll need. Great location. You'll meet lots of travellers. Staff can be helpful when you're planning your itinerary. Easy to extend your stay while you are there(you definitely will extend)

The house itself was really nice. The breakfast was delicious and fresh, the atmosphere was really lovely. There was free drinking water, which was very nice. A green garden to rest.

Australia- Bathrooms. If 2 people are showering there is no alternative for others wanting to clean teeth, go to toilet etc. Also one shower barely worked and the other didn't at all.
- Great location. Less than 10 minutes walk from Acacia Mall. - Friendly and helpful staff. - Breakfast included was really good. - Room I stayed in was very comfortable with a garden view. - Good atmosphere in the sitting room and nice garden with great city view.

UgandaThe room was very compact and a bit dark compared to the image pictures on the website. Although they promote the view is good, there was new building constructed interrupting the viewing. These were not meeting to my expectations. (So, fix the contents of promotion and correct guest's expectation)
Breakfast was cooked & served soon after the staff realised me appeared to the common space in the morning. It wasn't like a bread and egg, it was well flavoured Irish potatoes and omelette & some cut fruits which was beyond my expectations!
