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.).

United KingdomHonestly nothing bad I picked up, everything was perfect for us. Perhaps a nice stable iron boarding to match your nice iron would nice.
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The host organised everything meticulously and provided clear guidance. The apartment is very spacious, modern, and clean, basically everything one could ask for. Also the location is perfect, everything you might need it’s within the complex from cafe, restaurant to supermarket.

United StatesThe only thing I would point out (nothing major or anything that can prevent anyone from enjoying the stay), giving that Nairobi can get quite cold in the evening and early morning, was for the host to make provision for disposable slippers for guests, as the floor was quite cold if you weren’t wearing socks. Also, in the kitchen, despite having most things that could be needed, paper towel wasn’t available, which to me was a miss out. It would be great to have one in there, especially for guests who didn’t think to stop by a super market on their way to the apartment.
This is a quiet and cozy accommodation located in a beautiful area where you have pretty much access to everything you may need. I had booked this place for a full weekend start on Thursday through Sunday, The day before my arrival, checking and access instructions were shared with me, which were very easy with a friendly tone. I arrived at the building and was welcomed by security guard who offered to escort me to the apartment. I was able to access the apartment with no issue and discovered how beautiful and cozy the entire place was. The apt was on the ground floor, it had 2 decent bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Added to that was a well-furnished kitchen and a living room with all the basic and more. There was also a nice balcony with a sitting area, very convenient for fresh air or just to relax in a sunny day. I was honestly pleasantly surprised by the layout and how friendly it felt. All instructions were given through messages, so I had no problem figuring out what works how. I had rented a car, and the apt building offered a free and secured parking on the site, which was super convenient for me. I had a small issue with running hot water, despite the clear instructions, I could not make it work. I texted the contact that I was given, and the feedback was immediate. They sent someone to help, and as it turned out, it was an easy fix, problem was solved instantly, and I was a happy client. This is a place I would definitely go back without a single hesitation, especially if you are traveling or visiting with a partner, or a small family, it’s a great set up. All in all, this is a place I would recommend to anyone would want a quiet and cozy area away from the usual noise. I loved the experience and I have shared it with my friends and family, should they decide to visit Nairobi for a short period.

SloveniaIt was outstanding! The views are amazing, the apartment even more. You are given access to the swimming pools, fitness, lounge terrace. Just a few steps down you have also a shop, pharmacy and nice bars. It’s gated so security is 10/10. Clean, spacious, fully equipped. It was so nice we were thinking to extend our stay in Nairobi, haha. Will definitely come back! ❤️

The views, the convenience of the local shops - a 24/7 pharmacy and a great supermarket - and the good restaurants within 50m of the apartment. Easy to get an Uber for travel to town and the main shops

KenyaStaying at Riverside Square was super convenient! The building has its own commercial center, so grabbing groceries or a quick bite was effortless. There’s even a pharmacy right there—perfect for any last-minute essentials. Plus, if you need to get some work done, there’s a co-working space in the same area. And for the coffee lovers, Brioche is right there too! Everything you need, all in one spot.

United KingdomOne main issue that inconvenienced us was that there was no heating or provision to provide heat other than blankets. Given the cold and rainy weather, this made it difficult to get comfortable in the apartment. Also couldn't dry clothes very easily due to no warm spaces. They also had difficulty getting the vouchers to us for the breakfast restaurant despite reminders, one day it delayed our trip as we couldn't get our food in time, abit of an inconvenience which I'm not sure they appreciated.
Very clean apartments (we rented 2) spacious with balconies. Breakfast was amazing at the brioche restaurant, so much variety and options. Really amazing staff there Cleaners were lovely, outdoor pool was heated, which was a bonus, nice clean facilities with security patrolling.

United KingdomA few inconvenient breakdowns such us shower holder, broken bedroom lamp leaning on wall, a broken glass, faulty toilet and a washing machine that washed but didn't spin. These didn't really affect our experience, but it would have been nice to know about them beforehand. Although we had also requested to move and this could have potentially contributed to this experience. So we understand.
