Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

KenyaBreakfast is hot and fresh but has limited options. The hotel location is mid-way between airport and city Centre, with great access to 4 major shopping malls nearby. The rooms are comfortable and spacious with a dedicated working station and good WIFI connection. The staff are awesome and very helpful. The area is safe...i did many evening walks from hotel to the neighborhood.

South AfricaThe noise from the kitchen. The staff making noisr early in the morning. There were even guests beating drums at 6am, management did not intervene. The room is infested with coachroaches. The breakfast juice is sweetened water. The towels are so old they tear as you dry yourself.
The location is great, overall. The staff are very friendly except for the cleaners who wanted to kick me out of the room at 10am for cleaning even though I was busy. Perhaps there should be a 'Do Not Disturb' card to hang on the door.

United KingdomThe electric cuts off more often. The water was cold most of the time. However this is out of their control as it's a national issue in Zambia at this moment.
Mika Lodge is located in a beautiful area. Very close to main roads and easy access to Malls. The staff do their best to look after their guests, especially chief Rebecca. She was amazing. Always cheerful and communicated well with the guests . The rooms are cleaned every day and the facilities are adequate. The breakfast is very good with various choices. The surrounding areas are kept clean and there is a swimming pool, which is very useful during the hot season.

United StatesMy group ended up shuffling around to different rooms during our time there. Some things worked, some things didn't (like a couple of rooms with A/C units). Would have been nice to get that correct upfront. Some rooms had decent bathrooms, my first room didn't even have a shower (just a bath tub). The biggest issue is in how they clean their rooms. Their staff would spray copious amounts of DOOM insect spray in each room as they left. Excessive amounts! This caused me and three of my team members to get very sick for several days as we breathed that in our first night staying there. This really spoiled our trip to Zambia. This must stop as we were legitimately poisoned by the staff and left with a nasty cough that lasted for days. This cleaning practice should end immediately because other people are made sick.

United KingdomSee above
I actually like this hotel and am a return visitor. However the power outages and the main generator failure meant they were using a back up generator which was underpowered so no WiFi or hot water. This was explained when I arrived so fair enough but the room allocated had the new generator running 5am to 12 midnight right outside the window. When it was off at night the solar beeped every 30 seconds so there was no sleep to be had. I was also worried about carbon monoxide from the exhaust near the room ventilation which may or may not be a valid worry. I would return but not in these circumstances. No complaints about any other aspect and staff are delightful.

United KingdomThe quality of the beddings were too abysmal for a property charging $ 40. The Country is having power issues and this extends to the lodge, however i was not told thisnwould mean no water or even a solution provided. I slept with a gen set blaring but with no electricity. If the host is aware thatndue to power issues they cannot provide a good service should they reaaly charge full rate.

South AfricaThe receptionists were not friendly at all, especially when we checked out. Room 6 the TV was not working and the Wifi for Block A was not working in the room only outside. Asking for toast at breakfast was a mission and took way too long to get to us, hence we finished our breakfast before it arrived. Riccoffee is NOT coffee it is made of chicory and it is horrible. On the first day we had a choice of Nescafe at breakfast, but it ran out so on the second day we had no choice but Riccoffee. Creamora is NOT milk, we asked for fresh milk, which again was a mission, and we waited very long for it.
The rooms and linen were clean and comfortable
