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.).

PortugalHot shower can be a hit and miss sometimes, but this is not unusual across Kenya (even in Nairobi is not guaranteed). If you’re looking for luxurious lodge experience this place is not for you ;)
Feels like home, incredible people, delicious food. You’ll literally feel like you’re coming back home after a day of game drive. Dolorence is an amazing host and outstanding at giving example of Masai women independence. Florence, Agnes, Lucky,…all of them are amazing.

IndiaThe property is located just about 10mins away from the Talek gate, and is absolutely serene. It felt surreal to be away from everything, with nothing but animals in the vicinity, if you are lucky some zebras or giraffes may even turn up on the door. The property is eco-friendly and runs fully on solar power. The food they served was excellent and they ensure that any dietary restrictions are met. The hosts are truly humble and this was one of the most hospitable places I’ve stayed at. You’ll feel right at home, and everything including game drives will be arranged.

IndiaIt was an amazing experience to stay here. Such a lovely place it was. Also the food was really nice. We have seen zebra, giraffe in front of the house. Just relaxing with cup of coffee and watching wild animals live. 100% recommended. Chef and the lady who is hosting there, they both are really amazing people. Whatever we asked for service they are always ready to fulfill our requirements at any time.

SpainNothing. Everything was perfect.
It was one of the best experiences we had!! They have a chef that cooks every meal during the day. The food was delicious, and they packed our breakfast and lunch for the safari day. They have a private Land Cruiser to go to the safari, and they take care of everything. You don’t need to worry about anything, as they organize everything for you. The house is very comfortable, cozy and clean. We had a big bathroom, hot water and the bed was super comfortable. If we go back to Kenya, we will definitely go again!!!

DenmarkIf you looking for authentic hustle-free experience look no more! Guys from Narasha were amazing. Transfer from Nairobi was very well organised, and we had very warm welcome with amazing dinner. They also had their driver guide Kindey who was very experienced and showed many special things. Of course we seen every possible animal. Breakfast and Lunch was packed for us each morning so we could enjoy it in wilderness. Accommodation was spotless with lovely bathroom big room and very comfy bed with moskito net. Manager Merci, chef Lucky, guide Kindy and our guard William made our safari trip magical and unforgettable.(We stayed for 3nights in mid September.)

IndiaShower pressure in the baths could have been better.
Great hosts, an excellent chef who cooked tasty meals thrice a day from local ingredients, comfy rooms and an enjoyable communal area. Location was lovely, in a village setting where we could witness rural daily life - children going to/returning from schools, shepherds/herders tending to their animals, the toll of cow bells, many varieties of bird songs and so on. Being close to Mara and a conservancy, we heard lions roaring one night.
