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.).

IndiaBest part was, Hippo enters in property in night time, perfectly safe though as there is electrical fencing. Also some Zebra and other wild animals within the property. Food was amazing. It could not be better to unwind yourself after Masai Mara safari.

United StatesThe only thing not included in the rate is the drinks, which are charged separately. So one must pay for bottled water at meals (although there are complimentary bottles in the rooms). I think including water at meals would be appreciated. At breakfast, a water dispenser was available (but not at lunch or dinner). Including the water dispenser at all meals seems like a fair ask. They do include coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, which is great.
A spectacular all-inclusive resort with zebras, giraffes, and waterbucks grazing on the property. The grounds are well maintained and the staff is attentive. Upon check-in, you are greeted with a hot towel, chocolate, and juice. The buffet meals are sumptuous, with lots of options. There is also a pool, gym, and play area for the kids.

This is hands down one of the best hotels I have ever been to. From check-in, to the cleanliness of the room, to amenities, to meals. It was all around 5 star and above. I can't recommend this place enough!

KenyaThe resort exhibits wild animals and lush greenery, with extremely attention and warm staff. The rooms are outdated and ours smelled a bit like mold but it was very clean and opened up to a beautiful garden where you could see zebras, a variety of birds, turtles, rabbits, and we saw a giraffe! The playground for children needs more work, there are just a few swings but they put up a bouncing castle which was great entertainment for children. The food buffet exceeded my expectations, it was excellent and good value for money. The best part was the staff, honestly so kind and helpful. We left a night early because our toddler got a fever and the indoor physician didn’t have any medicine at hand. We will definitely come back.

United KingdomThe main attraction of this resort are the animals. It is the most relaxing experience to sit watching zebra and giraffe and water buck and hippos walking around. Conservation is at a critical juncture with the US withdrawing all their support so resorts like Sopa help to show why we must protect these amazing animals

United StatesThe room decor could use some freshening up but the animal viewings from my balcony and outside of our meals were marvelous. Wonderful spot.
The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, the grounds beautiful and unique, the animals just beneath my balcony as good or better as any game reserve. Meals were ample and delicious - fabulous fish but the buffet had plenty of choices for any palate. A delightful stay.

United KingdomMusic around the pool is intrusive, especially when the sound of bird song is so amazing but it couldn’t be heard in this area. Disappointing to have to pay extra for a light lunch around the pool when on an all inclusive package. I have stayed in many camps in Kenya and this was simply too large and corporate for me.
The location on the lake is outstanding and the opportunity to see so many animals close at hand is magical. Some staff, Hesbon at check in and Eric in the dining room were very good as were many others, including Timothy the Askari who took me to see the hippos. Unfortunately some other staff were not so helpful or agreeable. Beds are comfortable but would love the rooms to be more authentic in colour and design, they are all rather bland. I appreciated having a room not too far from the restaurant as it’s a long walk to room number 84 if you are staying there! Food is tasty and varied.

LatviaThe hotel did not answer at all questions asked through booking.com. The price for one night was high, more than 450 eur, and all the drinks, also water for dinner, was extra cost. In the room was ants. the mosquito net has gaps where the mosquito could fly in.
The location is amazing. Buildings are beautiful. Food is tasty. Pool area is nice. Animals in the garden are magical.
