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 KingdomThere was sewage smell coming from the bathroom, and we were woken up early by the reception, asking us to leave early, although on booking.com it stated checked out was until 12:00 noon. Also, there was no fan or A/C in the room.
The room was spacious and comfortable.

The staff are exceptional. Very friendly. Our last day we checked out very early , we couldn't manage to take our breakfast. But they did a great gesture by packing our breakfast by the time we were leaving we carried our breakfasts well packaged . Thank you very much..we can highly recommend.

United KingdomBreakfast...very odd food selection offered...no eggs, sausage, bacon...a heavy dinner menu buffet instead presented....Dinner - also no veggies nor a desert included on the half-board dinner...again this is very odd for half-board...apparently these items are only offered on full-board basis . Fries were offered as the only accompaniment with the main dish...the price of veggies is surely a minimal one to bear...I expected more for half-board basis...Food options therefore limited...Food was disappointing...
Good location...

ItalyThe rooms are cozy although mine was rather dark overlooking the forest.
Good breakfast, restaurant with somewhat slow service but always open and with a good menu at fair prices. The hotel, has a wonderful garden overlooking the Karura Forest. The staff was very professional, friendly and helpful. The rooms are cozy anceh though mine was a little dark overlooking the forest. The location is secluded but only a few minutes walk from Westland shopping centers. I will definitely return to this hotel in my next stays in Nairobi.

CyprusSomebody from the management tried to convince me by text messages on whatsapp to cancel my second booking because of " maintenance issues", which I didn't believe at all. In my opinion it was an overbooking issue. How can you bother your guests like this? Asking me to cancel and to book somewhere else, by myself, making me deal with that hassle, really? Even if there really is an issue beyond your control you are the one to reorganize and arrange my alternative accommodation. Anyway, I didn't back down and eventually I was told that "the maintenance work was completed" and I could stay. The water in the pool was murky on the day I decided to go for a swim. It's not such a big deal for me but I think it would be good if the pool is properly maintained all the time.
Let's be honest - it's THE BEST hotel in Nairobi. Quiet, serene environment, surrounded by greenery, right next to Karura forest, you watch the monkeys playing around while having lunch, you hear the birds chirping, you are in nature, you breathe that fresh air, it's like you are in a fairy tale place. It's amazing. You don't hear any traffic noise there which is very important for me personally. The food, the service, the staff - high level, professional. The room - big, comfortable, well equipped. I stayed there twice within 2 weeks - 3 nights each time.

United StatesBedside lamps would have been a really helpful addition; the only light option in bedrooms was all lights in the room on or off -- which was a bit of a challenge when sharing a room with a colleague.
I booked two rooms for me and my colleagues, so saw more than one. Both rooms were great. The breakfast was delicious, all food and beverages good, the staff were kind and helpful, the location could not be beat, the setting is stunning, the pool is beautiful, landscape feels like you're in a forest but you're in the city, the rooms were clean and comfy - while the bedrooms are not "high-luxury" they are appropriate for the hotel rating and very nice. Everything was clean. I will likely stay here again when I return to Nairobi and would definitely recommend it to others.
