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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomAlthough the hotel borders the Reserve, it is still at least a 20 minute drive on very poor roads to the gate itself in order to access the park. The food at the start of our stay was very good but became less so in subsequent days as we went from a buffet to a Table d'hôte menu as the hotel was closing for a period of construction work and guest numbers reduced prior to the shutdown. Although nothing to do with the hotel, as a word of caution to future guests, you should ensure that you handle payments to to enter the Reserve yourself and not rely on your guide/driver to handle any payments on your behalf.
The staff were outstanding, we met some lovely people who were very professional and very friendly. The hotel is very well equipped and is situated on the Talek river that borders the Masai Mara Reserve and we saw waterbuck and giraffe from our patio. There was abundant birdlife around the hotel.

Lovely location alongside the Talek river..Great Hospitality of the entire staff..Joseph the receptionist, Millie the food & dining hostess were so warm welcoming..The rest of the staff equally made us feel at home.. The cottage we stayed was a family Savannah tent ..facing the Talek river..with a beautiful ambience and feel of the Mara topography..Cuisines were superb very much authentic Indian vegetarian besides the continental and typical sumptuous cuisines of Africa ..They provided us packed breakfast and lunch for both the days ..the 3 days we stayed almost made us feel we were leaving our home...would highly recommend the stay here

The hotel management supported my request by keeping all my family in one room by upgrading the room to family savanna tent. The duty manager Mr. Joseph Kaleku was the person who supported all my request and made the stay in this hotel wonderful. We was feeling like home and the restaurant team was very friendly and supportive as they will try to cook for you what ever meal test you want. In short we loved the place and we loved the hotel team who made our stay rememberable. Once again im thankful to Mr. Joseph and the management team in Prideinn mara camp.

Fenomenal service - everyone from reception to guest relationship and restaurant staff. Brenda was exceptional. I'm a frequent traveller and this has been one of the best. Performances (music and Masai dance) were good and professional. We enjoyed the game drive at reasonable price. It's nice positioned

United StatesThe only thing to note is that the road getting there is very bumpy. One other thing to note….. since the property is on the edge of the preserve… make sure your guide takes you to the gate to pay the entrance fee. You will want to pay directly yourself and get a receipt. We did have some issues around this but again… this is NOT hotel related.
The staff was wonderful. We had a few glitches (not hotel related) and Joseph was a great help in trying to fix the issues. He went above and beyond. There were6 of us and even though we stayed only one night we would definitely stay there again.?The beds were very comfortable, the rooms very clean. We found the food to be very good and plentiful. They connected us with our safari guides who are from Maasai tribe who had grown up there and did a great job. The only big five we did not see was the rhino. We even got to see a very small lion cub and a lioness with her fresh kill.

United Arab EmiratesThe hygiene can be a better. Specially at the resturant. Saw a few cockroaches at the live egg counter.
The staff was great, smiles all around. Simon in the resturant and Edison at the reception took care of us really well. The masai who take you to your room in the evening are really great and kind too. The camp is directly connected to the mara reserve by walking bridge so very easy to go for game drives without wasting time. Food menu spread and taste was great. For indian and continental both. Overall amazing experience. Kudos to the management.

IndiaThe property is below a 3 star and far from a 5 star. The food was average. None of their amenities are functioning. They don’t even have cars or guides for game drives. The fan, electricity, safe, nothing works. They don’t even have a spa. Their head receptionist Edison is wicked. Only trying to make money for everything, transfers, water and even a false park fee that doesn’t exist and only fills his pocket.
The only good thing about the property was the proximity to the park. The GM John was also very nice and helpful.

DenmarkThe only thing I would recommend is to inform the hotel that you are a large group who tents should be near. Booking.com and the hotel seems to not necessarily coordinate on this. But I was very impressed how the hotel fixed the problem and went out of their way to accommodate us.
