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...).

KenyaA stunning boutique hotel with beautiful spacious rooms, a wide breezy terrace, a spotless baby pool, and a lovely kids’ play area. Seaclusion exceeded all my expectations. The restaurant was immaculate, calm, and served delicious à la carte meals. Cleanliness was 10/10 throughout. As a mother traveling solo with a small child, this place gave me something rare: peace of mind, from Katan at the gate, Vianny at reception, Tere at the restaurant, Kahindi at concierge, and Miriam from room service — you were the helping hands I didn’t know I needed. Vianny and Tere, I owe you both a heartfelt thank you for going above and beyond from check-in to check-out. Your care turned what could’ve been a tough trip into a truly magical stay. Seaclusion is more than a destination — it’s our home in Diani. We’ll be back many times again Insha’Allah.

Czech RepublicUnfortunately no warm (at least warm, no need of hot) water on rainy days so it was a bit uncomfortable. Mosquito nets in the windows would be a great improvement as it could help us avoid using AC during the night.
Very nice big rooms with comfortable beds. Lovely terrace that we shared with our friends next door. The pool was also very clean and great for a relax and you can use the hotel restaurant for a food and/or get drinks. The beach is close but might be a bit challenging to find a place where you can rent a sunbed (we were there off season, not sure if that was why).

KenyaHonestly, nothing. The only challenge I had was that the Uber drivers kept getting lost, I think the google maps are not as accurate in picking the exact location thought staff was helpful in always guiding the drivers
The location is great, just a few minutes walk to the beach. It is quiet ideal space to work or just rest. Rooms are very spacious and they have a room on ground floor suitable for those with disability. Right from the ramp to access the room and bathroom with support handles and a sitting stool for use during bathing. Breakfast is ala carte and made to your preference. Clean and well maintained swimming pool. Almost forgot to mention the staff and very professional and friendly out to make the stay as comfortable as possible.

RussiaThe rooms are so big that the air conditioners can't always handle :-)
As it usually happens in Kenya, people are the most precious thing here. They are always ready to help, they are always very pleasant in communication. The comfort of the rooms is more consistent with a suite than a simple room. There is an exit to the balcony, rather it is a huge terrace in order to meet the sunrises and listen to the birds. It was a special stay at Diani beach

CanadaThe pool was great and the proximity to the beach, grocery stores and restaurants was perfect for us. We always felt safe. The staff are all super friendly and very helpful - we had a long wait on our last day before going to the airport and they were very accommodating, allowing us to use the pool and facilities for the morning and afternoon after checking out. Thank you for a lovely stay!

KenyaThe swimming pool cleaning could be done earlier for anyone who wants to swim in the morning before it becomes hot. The AC to my room was leaking water to my balcony could be rectified.
The staff were kind , the room was spacious , location is great with amenities around. It's close to the famous Ali Barbour's , forty thieves beach bar, clubs and Diani shopping center. The property is quiet for wa workaccation or vacation. The food was delicious , fresh and affordable. They also allow night swimming though at your own risk no life guard.The balcony humongous.

HungaryI like everything. Maybe the pool could have more shade, so that we could have enjoyed it more even during the daytime when the sun was strong.
It is a nice place to stay for a weekend get-away. Staff was nice, food was good, and we really enjoyed the pool. It is in a walking distance from a supermarket and restaurants (lovely pizza place), and the beach is also just a short walk away. Our room was huge and comfortable with two big balconies to relax on.

KenyaSeaclusion is close to all one would need when on holiday - the beach, major restaurants, bars and even the mall. The host was such a gem, and she gave us the best recommendations for the best spots to visit during our time in Diani (which she knows like the back of her hand). The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food is lovely, with both local and continental cuisine available.
