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.).

DenmarkIt is a rather basic hotel, but I understand it is one of the best, if not the best, in Narok. There was no mosquito net in my room and the first night there were mosquitos. The second night I used mosquio spray. Nobody cleaned the room during our stay and the bathroom became a bit messy as the water from the shower was all around.
The hotel is off the main road in a quiet local neighbourhood. It has very friendly and welcoming staff and they did all they could to make our stay comfortable.

KenyaMaybe try to get a kibarua to flatten the access road, maybe make a nicer sign for the place and maybe spruce up the menu a bit. Having said that we loved the place.
We liked the room, the whole place and atmosphere. The staff is very friendly, the place is clean and has a good aura. It's fair value for money. If we had time we would stay longer.

GermanyOrdered dinner at their restaurant. Waited for almost 3h without any notes when or if food will be ready. Food was also not so great in the end, should have rather picked a restaurant down town.
We stayed here to break up the long journey from Amboseli to Masai Mara. It’s a clean and rather modern hotel and fine for a night. Well located near the main road in a local neighbourhood.

This is the best hotel in Narok Town. The room was super comforting and impeccably clean. What really stood out though was the high quality of the service. On top of all of this is that the price is a real bargain.

Kenyathough it seems as a new place and still developing, they can improve by adding a well stock bar since Town is a bit far. they can also improve on the breakfast menu by having varieties.
very clean and comfy room and bed, I couldn't believe I was only charged that for the whole amenities, definitely value for my money!!! the staff were more than helpful, friendly and professional, they made my stay homely. the location is perfect if you are looking for some where peaceful and welcoming away from the busy Narok town. food was prepared by a good chef. really enjoyed my stay, and definitely will be back.

CanadaMosquito nets for the beds would be a nice addition.
Staff are so friendly and helpful. They even washed our car after a very muddy safari drive! Breakfast was very large and filling. Location is very convenient as well, right off the highway. You do need a 4 wheel drive or at least a vehicle with good ground clearance and suspension to get there though.
