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...).

ZambiaAt breakfast, I requested an omelette and asked for some food to be microwaved, but the staff seemed displeased with both requests. When I returned to my room 20 minutes before check-out, I discovered that my key card was deactivated, and the room phone was no longer working. After calling room service to help me access the room, I wanted to take a shower but found there was little to no water. Since the room phone was disconnected, I had to search for their mobile number online to report the issue, which took an hour to resolve. Based on other reviews, this seems to be a recurring problem, and it’s puzzling why it hasn’t been addressed. The golf cart service for transporting guests between rooms and reception is a nice idea, but there’s only one cart, operated by a receptionist who appeared inconvenienced by the additional responsibility.
Good location, near the international airport.

CanadaQuite a hike from the room to the main building to go for food or to the main foyer. The convention rooms were closer. Food was on the cold side for breakfast. Had to wait a really long time for lunch when we arrived....not sure if that was because we were ordering outside of the designated lunch time? Food was great when we got it. Rooms are outdated and in need of some serious repairs. Our shower head wasn't working well....in fact it was a dribble and you had to be right up against the wall to get into the water. When the water got hot it was squalding hot...beware if you accidentally hit the tap while showering. The taps on the bathtub had been bashed into the wall. I think before they spend money on adding new rooms...maybe fix the ones you have. Decor is a little outdated.
It was great that they picked us up from the airport and took us back the next day. Breakfast was included and was good but a bit cold by the time we got there. Rooms were spacious and comfy. Nice pool right outside our building. VERY friendly staff.

United StatesThe Wi-Fi was very poor, the TV had four channels and did not work well after 21:00 hours. There was a table with bad legs. The service overall was okay. Had one important problem. I asked for another bottle of water and they said I had to pay for one. For a bottle of water.. that is getting ridiculous. And when I mentioned that fact, the staff laughed at me. The staff thought it was funny that I wanted them to give me a bottle of water. A place that wants to consider themselves a good place will always give a bottle of water to a client. Not have me go to a bar to buy another bottle. Communication between staff needs to be improved. I did talk with a new manager and he said he is working on these things. Along with not having real coffee which was quite irritating in this day and age. Again talking to the new manager, he mentioned he was going to be improving that also.
Beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning was very good. The showers were very nice.

United KingdomThere are far too many steps with no signs to warn you. If you have mobility issue you will struggle with the amount of stairs there is. The price we booked here on Booking.com was not price charged at hotel, they charge us more despite telling them the price we book.

United KingdomStayed here twice during this trip (1x night each time). Used purely for the location as relatively nearby the airport. It is deadly quiet at lacks ambience. First stay, internet problems & changed the room twice before finding a room that had reach of wi-fi though still limited. Large grounds, completely empty - yet the staff chose to put me in rooms quite a walk away from reception, restaurant & bar. Safe & clean enough, but the layout, structure & decor resembles a prison more than I hotel. Overpriced for what you get. Would probably use again if 1x nights accommodation is needed in Lusaka before early morning onwards flight simply for the easy reach to the airport, but for longer stays I would certainly find something different.
Nothing really outstanding to note.

United StatesI didn't like I had to fight roaches this time. I didn't experience roaches previously when I visit the first time Also I told the gentleman that my phone wasn't working but never did get fixed at all. The scenery on the outside was beautiful also.
The breakfast was delicious. They had variety to pick from. I like the boil eggs, chips, deserts. Richard their shuttle driver came and got us From the airport to Mika convention. He was so friendly and helped us get to our room and came and got me and my friend when we got ready to leave from our room. Sifunga the cook was friendly and sit down with me and talk with me about what ingredients that was in the veggie burger that I was trying to order. The veggie burger was so delicious. 😋 I can't remember the cook that made it but he was a good cook and let me sample some veg. soup he made. He was very friendly and always checking with me to see that the food was appropriate for me and how I liked it.
