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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomThe kitchen attracted a lot of flies at night and got quite dirty - we assumed it would be cleaned daily, but was not.
The setting exceeded all of our expectations, we had giraffes roaming around in our garden and it was completely private and scenic!

MauritiusA little bit far from Lake Naivasha. The driver had some issues to find the place but if you say 'Camp Acacia' one is mostly likely to find its way more quicker. No wifi
This place is heaven! The comfort of the tent was beyond my expectation. My family spent nice moments there. From our porch we could see the animals roaming around, we had zebras,pumbas, giraffes, antilopes, blue ball monkeys and a variety of birds. A safari at your doorstep. the kitchen is well equipped but one need to make provision for some botltles of water and groceries Viviane our host there makes our stay more pleasant. This young lady is a gem and so kind. She was so helpful in organising for a driver to pick us up to dine down the village, made an awesome bonefire for us one night and we did grill some marshmallows Exceptional memories that we took back home.

KenyaCleaning - I did not understand why YourHost charged a cleaning fee for cleaning that never took place for our entire stay.
It was a good and exceptional experience; glamping in Naivasha. The facilities were good and the kitchen was well-equipped. An ideal place to visit for anyone who wants to be up close with friendly wild animals - giraffes, impalas, zebras. The host on-site is also a delight.

NetherlandsNothing we did not like
The location was fantastic: we had zebra’s, waterbuck and giraffes right next to our tent during the day. Other wildlife in binocular distance, including elephants. And the lake is a 5 min drive away, for a boat safari to see hippo’s and many birds. Our local host John was amazing, he is the most friendly person and took really good care of us. He guided us to our boat safari and took us shopping for some groceries.

United KingdomThe local wildlife includes a stroppy lone buffalo who enjoys chasing pedestrians. I think you need to lay on a staff bus, they shouldn't be in fear walking to work every day!

PolandAt first the owner did not want to provide the location of the property in advance, which surprised us a lot. On site, it turned out that the tent was set up on a square among deep bushes, completely unrelated to Lake Naivasha! Far from the lake, no view of anything. Upon arrival, the owner demanded a $70 deposit and a $50 cleaning fee!! On boking_com I have rented over 200 properties and have never encountered such hidden additional fees. It's good that I did not have to pay for a sheet. I do not recommend this place, I have seen many nicer properties on Naivasha.
Spacious tent.

SwitzerlandUnprofessional staff: we paid an extra fee for housekeeping which they never fulfilled. Even after mentioning it to them, they decided to ignore it. They offered to make a bonfire for us in the evenings, but only at check-out told us that they charge for the wood. This should have been mentioned when they offered it to us initially.
Nice location with great views of wild animals around the tent

GermanyWe didn’t really care, but maybe it’s important to know, that there is no Wi-Fi, even though it is written, there would be. And the whole advance check-in process was a bit stressful and in my opinion unnecessary to have to upload passport pictures of all the guests. I wish, the accommodation would change that.
Its very beautiful there. So quiet. The animals just in front of the terrace. Really recommendable. And don’t miss the boat tour on Lake Oloiden.
