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...).

GermanyThe hotel doesn’t mention anywhere in Booking.com that they don’t sell alcoholic beverages. As a group traveling together, it was hard to gather after dinner for a small chat over some drinks. There is not even a cafe where you can relax and enjoy the evening. A small pavilion is offered but it’s always locked and to get it open led to some arguments with the staff.
The location is amazing and relaxing

United KingdomI highly recommend this hotel especially for those who prefer to travel independently without guides. Here you will not only be able to relax, but also will always be under the care and protection. The hotel staff will help you in any situation, no matter what time of day it is and no matter how far you are from the hotel. What else is important for me when choosing a hotel: quietness, comfortable bed, shower with normal water pressure and temperature, good breakfast. All of those I found in Rock Hyrax hotel. And even more. The hotel staff saved me when my car broke down in a remote area. And when I finally got to the hotel at about midnight, a warm dinner was waiting for me in my room. And they absolutely refused to include it in my bill. It was very touching. I felt as if I had come to my parents' house. Special thanks to Ms Mercy for her care and for hospitality!

United KingdomThe staff were so attentive from the second we arrived- the security, to reception, waiting staff, chef and housekeeping, all were so friendly and watm. Elizabeth in particular was fantastic throughout our staym. The service was impeccable and they all ensured everything was taken care of for us from our game drive to food. The entire premises is so well kept and very clean. Rooms are spacious, immaculate, with all features necessary. The little garden area is a nice touch and so peaceful to sit in. They even have a covered gazebo as a social area for evening/rain. Ample parking available. All communication prior to the trip were fast and all necessary information was given.

KenyaNothing.
I liked everything about the facility, from the officers at the gate, the receiving guy who got us from the car carried our bag, took us to the reception then to our room. He showed us around the room & all the ammenities provided, put on the tv for us, went an extra mile to tune it to our preferred channel.....in most places i have been you are left to swim on your own. We had a good night sleep then went for breakfast......we loved it! It was wonderful, we enjoyed every bit of it. It was served in proper proportions & was so fresh & tanto. The staff were all loving & caring. I'll be back!

An exceptional hotel. Good base if you are planning to explore Nakuru and any sites nearby for example the national park. The staff service is friendly and excellent with incredible attention to detail - as an example Purity looked after us very well during our breakfast and the staff at reception were very helpful.

KenyaThe hotel is located in a serene environment and has an amazing chilled ambience.The well lit compound has a perfect open space for star gazing at night. The overlooking Hyrax Hill was quite refreshing, and the chirping of birds equally soothing. The staff were very welcoming and courteous and loved their well presented meals. The cosy beds are worth every penny and night. They allowed late checkout and greatly loved the experience. The host madam Mercy was superb and clearly understood what delighting clients meant.. Noted that they have very modern conference facilities. I will be back..😊

United Arab EmiratesNothing. It was all Good and Memorable.
Simply Amazing. Ms. Mercy, who is the owner of the Facility, she personally drove down from Nairobi to meet us. Had a great conversation with her. It's a new Hotel, very well maintained. Small but one of the best hotels I ever stayed, even when compared to the likes of Europe and the US. We had our dinner at the hotel and the cheff and restaurant staffs were amazing. While leaving for Safari the next day after we checked out, we forgot the Kettle in the room and given that our baby was with us and I will have a hard time finding a new kettle outside the city, she arranged a conveyence to deliver the kettle to us in the Park. For the next day, the Hotel Staff prepared a hearty breakfast for us all,especially keeping the kids in mind. Would definitely recommend Rock Hyrax to anyone who plans to visit Nakuru.
