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.).

KenyaI did not like the fact that the amount I paid did not include breakfast.
I liked the location of the hotel and the service was so good including my check in and check out.

United StatesWith events going on at the hotel, outdoor security is not the best at getting people parked and keeping traffic flowing. On weekends I recommend meeting your driver or uber on the street to avoid delays
Very clean, staff is incredibly friendly. Metal detectors and bag scanners to ensure guest safety. They helped my fiancé with an engagement and it was so nice! I’d absolutely stay here again. The breakfast was great and the rooftop is beautiful.

We loved this place! It was like being in the middle of Nairobi of the future rather than Nairobi of the past. Great staff, fabulous check-in experience. The food was good quality and tasty.

AustraliaRestaurant service was really slow for the whole visit. Putting expenses on room account seemed to be challenging, and instead of just settling at the end, the hotel wanted security for a set amount which, when utilised, meant I couldn’t charge more expenses to the room. This was strange as I wanted to settle account at the end of the stay.
Security was really good. Very comfortable rooms. Good range of restaurants.

NetherlandsThe hotel is really nice and modern, very clean and comfortable with very helpful and professional staff. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. They had a nice surprise on arrival, the transfer they organised was great, the breakfast also great. One of the nicest things about the hotel is the rooftop bar/restaurant. They serve Peruvian food and sushi, and the food is amazing and so is the atmosphere. The music was a bit loud, but overall the place is really lively and nice. I would happily return and recommend to others

United KingdomFor me the only downside is it lacks a private space for guests outside to chill by a pool or in a garden. They do have a small plunge pool however it is surrounded by the restaurant tables so is more ornamental than a place to take in some sun and a swim. Perhaps one day they can purchase a little of the neighbouring land and create this space which would then make the hotel perfect.
Great smiling and friendly staff. They even left a large bunch of flowers to celebrate my wife and my wedding anniversary. Loved that the cafe at the entrance is open 24/7. And three restaurants in addition inside the one property is great. Also loved the fresh juice bar and the general buzz of this ‘social hotel’. And their app is really great as you can check your current overall bill at anytime and I found it very up to date and accurate. Really nice use of an app.
