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 room was huge, very huge. I loved it. Toilet and bathroom was seperate. Staff was lovely and so kind. They kept local monkey forest. Monkeys were walking around. It is nice that we let animals to have their natural habitat. Moreover, they have local turtle nest reserves. They keep turtle babies safe. Food was delicious, drinks were amazing.
It was so rainy, thunderstorms :( I was hoping to have some sun

Verified reviewThe location is by far the selling point of the hotel. Incredible seafront resort. We walked the beach route every morning to breakfast which included a great selection of food options. Good comfy bed, with working air con and power shower.
I can’t quite put my finger on why we were slightly disappointed. Is it the lack of atmosphere? Expectations of 5 star service? The sun beds needs a lick of paint, the check in needs to offer some information about the facilities, they shouldn’t charge for water, they shouldn’t charge an addition fee to use room service. No sun beds on the beach

Verified reviewSmall enough to walk around easily but very spacious and integrated to nature. The setting such as rooms reception and beach bar very tastefully furnished in a chic Swahili look and feel. Th staff are friendly and the beach is well location. The spa facilities are great too and food is of very nice quality in my opinion. Probably portions are too generous!
Portions are large for food I would say! Also, This would be harsh to blame the property but the beach boys at the beach are selling too aggressively. You can barely walk 2 m on the beach without a new person trying to haggle and negotiate to sell something. Can be off putting.
Thank you for your words and for taking the time to review us after your stay. It was a pleasure to host you and we look forward to welcoming you back. Best regards from the entire team at Nomad

Verified reviewThey have the best breakfast spread I have seen in any resort so far. The staff were exceptional, they were friendly, professional and always happy to meet our requests. The view was fantastic with powdery white sand beaches, blue water and plenty of water activities to keep you busy. The timing for housekeeping was excellent!
The insects in the rooms in the evenings were unwelcome roommates, however we were very close to the forest and nature so this could be expected.
Dear Cynthia, Thank you very much for your wonderful ratings and comments and we are thrilled to hear that our breakfast was a highlight. We do pride ourselves in offering a delicious and extensive spread of local and home grown and baked produce....and we are happy that you appreciated it along with all the activities, Diani Beach and our discreet quality service! Apologies for the insect that sneaked into your room and I hope our housekeeping team were able to move it back to its home outside in the forest! Thank you for choosing Nomad and we do hope to welcome you back again.

Verified reviewThe Nomad is a really lovely place. The food was very good, the staff at reception very friendly and professional. The whole set up with the swimming pool surrounded by greenery is lovely. Also nice to watch the different monkeys climbing in the trees. The beach is truly stunning, and while before booking I had feared the beach would be too busy, this was not the case. Of course when you go for a walk you are approached by beach sellers, but they accept a no. We had a standalone bungalow, with our own reclining chairs and lots of space around, very pleasant (that probably explains the high price, but for us that privacy and peacefulness was what we had been looking for), beach sellers walk past, but they leave you in peace when you say no. We also appreciated their environmental efforts.
They could put more plants - more greenery in the area of the standalone bungalows. It is very hard to keep the grass green there despite irrigation. I think the music in the restaurant was not so much too our taste, but we love peace and tranquility.
Dear Cornelia, Thank you very much for taking the time to give such an extensive review following your stay with us. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your time at Nomad and that you rated our food, staff and facilities so highly as well as our sustainable practices which is very much part of our ethos. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions and we will address both points, we appreciate your comments. We do hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back some day in the not-too-distant future. Warm regards from the entire team at Nomad Beach Resort
