How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe property was amazing, location was beautiful.
It’s almost impossible to find the place. The address on booking.com is wrong!! There are no signs & the name of the place is nowhere to be seen.
Hello Mónica, Thank you for your feedback. The pin location has been updated on Booking.com to make it easier for guests to find us. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again. Warmly, YourHost Team!

Verified reviewGreat property and location, plentiful wildlife on the doorstep.
The local wildlife includes a stroppy lone buffalo who enjoys chasing pedestrians. I think you need to lay on a staff bus, they shouldn't be in fear walking to work every day!

Verified reviewThe setting exceeded all of our expectations, we had giraffes roaming around in our garden and it was completely private and scenic!
The kitchen attracted a lot of flies at night and got quite dirty - we assumed it would be cleaned daily, but was not.

Verified reviewSpacious tent.
At first the owner did not want to provide the location of the property in advance, which surprised us a lot. On site, it turned out that the tent was set up on a square among deep bushes, completely unrelated to Lake Naivasha! Far from the lake, no view of anything. Upon arrival, the owner demanded a $70 deposit and a $50 cleaning fee!! On boking_com I have rented over 200 properties and have never encountered such hidden additional fees. It's good that I did not have to pay for a sheet. I do not recommend this place, I have seen many nicer properties on Naivasha.

Verified reviewThis place is heaven! The comfort of the tent was beyond my expectation. My family spent nice moments there. From our porch we could see the animals roaming around, we had zebras,pumbas, giraffes, antilopes, blue ball monkeys and a variety of birds. A safari at your doorstep. the kitchen is well equipped but one need to make provision for some botltles of water and groceries Viviane our host there makes our stay more pleasant. This young lady is a gem and so kind. She was so helpful in organising for a driver to pick us up to dine down the village, made an awesome bonefire for us one night and we did grill some marshmallows Exceptional memories that we took back home.
A little bit far from Lake Naivasha. The driver had some issues to find the place but if you say 'Camp Acacia' one is mostly likely to find its way more quicker. No wifi

Verified reviewIt was a good and exceptional experience; glamping in Naivasha. The facilities were good and the kitchen was well-equipped. An ideal place to visit for anyone who wants to be up close with friendly wild animals - giraffes, impalas, zebras. The host on-site is also a delight.
Cleaning - I did not understand why YourHost charged a cleaning fee for cleaning that never took place for our entire stay.

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic: we had zebra’s, waterbuck and giraffes right next to our tent during the day. Other wildlife in binocular distance, including elephants. And the lake is a 5 min drive away, for a boat safari to see hippo’s and many birds. Our local host John was amazing, he is the most friendly person and took really good care of us. He guided us to our boat safari and took us shopping for some groceries.
