How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The beds were a bit hard for my liking but that was about it!
The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. The rooms were beautiful and clean and well kept during our stay. Food was nice but the highlight was pool area which was amazing!

You must walk through the wet room to get to the toilet!, There is no choice of food, the breakfast buffet is the worst we have ever had, Wardrobe not long enough to hang things, Nowhere for suitcases, The place is not finished and construction is ongoing - should be discounted not premium, owners arrived but not interested in greeting guests, no umbrellas, no tea and coffee making facilities, no mosquito nets despite insect infestation, nowhere to hang hand towels, plastic drain pipe supporting shower head detracts form good finishing, pillows hard, bed hard, furniture in public areas tired and cheap.
Beautiful location, rooms (Only 3 from 18 finished) are nice but have design errors, pool is nice, staff are very pleasant, the space for dinner by the pool is lovely.

- • Family with young children
- • Double Room with Terrace

The location is extremely difficult to get to, requiring either paying the extortionate amount of cash to use the East Tsavo tracks (very unpleasant and rough even in a 4x4 truck) or, involving an extra four hours driving via Mombasa and Malindi (we drove from Nairobi). It is also a location which is very dusty with a lot of wind. Most egregious was the extortionate additional costs added for drinks which were initially presented as part of the service (no price list given). But particularly the rudeness of a single member of waiting staff. He not only stank, and would have benefited from a bath, but also made derogatory comments about the size and weight of my sister.
The view of the river made for the ability to watch for many bird species and the occasional hippopotamus and water buck. But it is not a place to visit for anything other than bird life. Particularly as East Tsavo NP is also very dry and currently only shows a great number of dead animal carcasses. The lack of rains is very much in evidence here

We enjoyed the fantastic location, the food, the nicely designed tents, the terrace and pool overlooking the river with hippos, crocodiles, gazelles, elephants and plenty of birds, including the king fisher… Most of all though we appreciated the super welcoming team of kudu camp who made our two night stay a great beginning of our three weeks trip through Kenya! We wish we would have had more time to stay around.. asanteni sana!!
