Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomIt took me a little while to figure out the system for hot water in the shower! (My fault). And the pool was a bit smaller than I thought it might be (but you could still have a proper swim in it).
It was a beautiful colonial house with a swimming pool and lovely garden. The rooms were old-fashioned but spacious, and the two charming staff members I met, Jack and Yvonne, were wonderfully kind and thoughtful. Yvonne cooked breakfast on the spot - delicious - and Jack provided towels, hairdryers, taxis and helpful information.

AustraliaI had a wonderful experience at Dreamplace Gigiri. The guesthouse is quiet with beautiful gardens and a pool, lovely staff in Yvonne and Jack to take care of you, comfortable bed, lots of hot water, huge breakfast and superfast WiFi. The location is fantastic at just 1 minute walk to Village Market mall with restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. Excellent price for the facilities and location - highly recommend!

DenmarkNo complaints!
If you are tired of anonymous hotels with a lack of personal service, then I strongly suggest you try Dreamplace. Jack and Yvonne will do their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Internet, beds, cleaning, breakfast service, pool, and location were all very good!

United KingdomThe bed was uncomfortable- too hard for me. Perhaps they could consider changing mattresses or offering mattress toppers.
The location was excellent for UN meetings. 14-15 minutes walk. The breakfast was excellent and there was a regular supply of teas, coffee, hot chocolate. The staff were very welcoming and attentive.

TurkeyThere was some confusion about eggs and the way we wanted them to be cooked. We asked for fried eggs and a plain omlette arrived. This is the only place that we had difficulty getting the eggs right. The kitchen seemed a little grubby and there were quite a lot of flies around opened jars and cans.
We arrived in the early hours of the morning after an overnight flight. We were met and greeted by Jack despite the hour. He was extremely friendly and carried our bags straight to our room. He made sure that we had clean towels and water to drink. He assured us that breakfast would be available when we woke up, no matter what the time was. He was also very helpful in helping us to set up and use the UBER app which made our expeditions around Nairobi so easy. He also suggested places that we might like to visit. He made our stay quite enjoyable. It was nice to be able to sit outside in nice grounds. The pool was clean.

DenmarkDream Place was an ideal introduction to Nairobi. The staff, Jack and Yvonne, are very kind and helpful. The breakfasts on the terrace, with huge avacados from the garden, were a highlight. The property is within easy, and safe, walking distance to the UN and Village Market. The property was quiet and peaceful.

AustraliaInitially I was in a room close to the road and it was somewhat noisy, but the hosts kindly changed and everything was fine after that. Thanks Jack for being so kind!!
This property is a great location and accurate to all reviews. It is secure, an easy walk to the UN complex, shopping and has a lovely outdoor garden, eating area and pool. The avocados grown on the property are magnificent. Jack is an amazing host and will do anything to ensure you enjoy the stay. The owners are also upgrading the wifi and other aspects.

It’s conveniently located in Gigiri a stone throw away from IOM health screening center and the few minutes walk to village market among other amenities. The neighborhood is quiet and lush as well. The property has a home feeling with spacious self contained rooms and a sizeable compound dotted with trees.

PortugalIs not close to the center, so it really depends of what are your needs. Ok to rest, but not the right choice if you want to meet other people.
The most positive point is without a doubt the kindness and availability of the people, making you feel very welcome and taken care. The breakfast is good and freshly prepared according to your wishes from a menu. In general is a good place to stay specially if you plan to do things around Gigiri area, having a good price/quality relation.
