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...).

KenyaThe road towards the place is terrible. It is further from the airport as advertised. If it rains the taxi may not want to come at all. Be careful when catching a flight from this place.

United KingdomIt’s definitely not as close to the airport as we would think and there’s nothing else around the hotel to do so if you’re looking for a closer hotel to the airport with stuff around to “kill time” this is definitely not the one.
Very quiet and clean. Perfect for a layover in Nairobi

South AfricaThe road to the homestay is not tarred, so it's bumpy and it takes longer to get there. Uber charges around 600 KES from the airport, but if drivers know that the road is bad they would understandably charge more. The best option is to book a ride directly with the homestay and pay 1,500 KES each way. Unfortunately, the closest ATM is at the Gateway mall, which is not a walkable distance from the homestay. It's roughly a 20-minute ride that costs around 310 KES each way. I would recommend stopping at this mall on your way to the homestay, to withdraw money and buy food.
The homestay is located inside a gated community away from the noise of the city. I felt very safe. Everyone was friendly and kind. The bed was comfortable and clean. The WiFi was strong and there's Netflix on the TV. You can order food online (I used the Glovo app), and it will be delivered to the homestay. I only stayed for one night, but I would love to stay for longer next time.

PortugalHorrible location. You can’t even get a Uber! There is no road to reach the house, only a dirt track, full of bumps and stones. The address doesn’t show on Google Maps and the phone number provided by the property doesn’t work. Very difficult to get there and away. No restaurants nearby.
Comfortable and clean. Quiet neighbourhood.

United KingdomIt was a long , bumpy ride to the airport. Didn’t mind that they didn’t provide breakfast, but there was nowhere nearby to get a meal from, or even a snack.
It was quiet, and fulfilled my need for a good night’s sleep in a comfy bed. It had a garden where I could watch the wild birds.The neighbourhood felt safe.
