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.).

PortugalStaff does not have many answers for their own offerings (ex tours/rooms etc). They are all very nice but lack solutions for situations like for instance the card machine not working. I'm aware of TIA but i think sometimes, like not knowing the details of a tour they offer, is a bit to much. Food also a bit expensive and wifi could be improved.
Quiet, safe and good for relaxation.

United KingdomWe were regulars at the old place and this new location is quite a bit further out - it takes quite a bit to get to places. Also, when we were there it was awash with large groups of white twenty-somethings getting very loud and very drunk, not sure if that’s now the typical customer but it did make things less relaxing and in tune with the rest of Uganda than we liked.
Good place to get away from it all after a long day in Kampala or a long trip. Nice pool, good choice of food and drinks, friendly staff, relatively comfortable accommodation.

AustraliaIt is quite far out of Kampala and it feels quite empty as it is such a huge property. You have to walk outside to get to the shared bathroom and I saw quite a few mosquitoes while I was having a shower.
The staff were friendly and the outdoor area with the pool is beautiful and relaxing.

IsraelI don't know how I missed the fact the the rooms are not ensuite. The communal washroom wasn't too bad in our case, because occupancy was very low.
There is a full menu restaurant and bar on the second floor, which makes it convenient to travel in irregular times, have guests join you for meals etc. The price is great for a city hotel with so many amenities.

Netherlandsour room was very simple and not very clean - Molly shower screen, very old noisy stained fridge, mosquito nets had holes. The place generally looks quite run down. Also some services offered are not available such as the shuttle service, and none of the social activities (movie nights, pizza by the pool) are actually being organised.
Food was tasty and fresh, the place is very spacious and the pool and views are nice

GermanyThe rooms reminded us of air raid shelters, very dim and with lots of concrete in view. The staff can be helpful but they tend to be on the less active side, at times waiting behind the counter for your dinner order. Beside that, we had the impression that the underlying organization of the hostel could do with some improvements. For example, we left some large backpacks in the hostel when we went on safari, explicitly stating that we would be coming back to stay another night at Red Chili's afterwards. Mid-Safari we were treated to a very awkward conversation with our guide who told us that the hostel had contacted him about the "unpaid bill" for our stay. Upon telling him we had every intention of going back to the hostel, considering our bags were still there, the situation was resolved. Yet a feeling of wonder lingered about how an information like that could have gone missing. Next to this experience, the fact that staff members popped up next to us every other minute to ask us to pay bits and bots that they had forgotten to charge us for seems to pale, yet it felt strange to only see the staff acting proactive whenever it concerned us paying some little odd charge.
The staff offered us a discount for our stay ahead of the safari booked with them. We ended up paying about a third of the original asking price which we found very forthcoming. Additionally the on site restaurant is very affordable.
