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 reviewSuperb WiFi connectivity, a great plus to modern mobile workers. Spacious rooms, serene, quiet and relaxing environment with beautiful flowers ,fresh air and melodious birds singing in the morning, welcoming and understanding staff..Chris was particularly very helpful throughout the stay. The cats and the gardens were entertaining.Our evening meals were delicious. Finally was glad that the guesthouse is a project to help orphans and vulnerable children. This is a cause dear to me, so we will come again so that I can be part of this noble mission.
The insects especially ants and mosquitoes were a nuisance. Breakfast was monotonous and not satisfying .Could consider variety and more vegetables and fruits in the menu. Had cold shower two days of the three we stayed there..
Thank you for the review and letting us know where we can upgrade next time.it was great hosting you

Verified reviewIt is nice for a short stay, with a terrace and garden. The staff was helpful, The location is about 15min from the Voi train station.
We did not know that we would have to order dinner before arrival (at 3pm). They still managed to organised a simple meal. The breakfast is not included in the price (with breakfast) mentioned on the booking app.

Verified reviewThe place is nice, not far away from Voi. The room and bathroom clean.
The asked us a higher price compared to the one on booking, saying that on booking there was a mistake. Moreover they asked us to pay the breakfast when it's written on booking that is included and they confirmed this to us when we arrived. They didn't read the booking chat where we asked for a dinner so they didn't prepare anything and they refused even when we asked something simple and easy.

It was difficult to make payment as the place prioritizes payment by Mpesa (needs a local number); not possible to pay by card

Verified reviewIt was quiet and peaceful
The room allocated to me looked a little run down. It gave the impression that they were not expecting me. The room felt a little small as they squeezed a single bed and a double bed in the room. No tea or water was provided in my room. WiFi was not accessible in my room. Only at the dining room area.
We are really sorry for the unexpected, we will make an improvement.

Verified reviewIt's an amazing place. Just beautiful and perfect for relaxing and enjoying the nature. They recommend us Steve for the Game Drive - he was great. On top of all, the staff is just absolutely amazing! We will be coming back!
If your coming without a car, the place is a bit far off the train station. But they organized us a driver who picked us up.
