Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IrelandThe Internet was intermittent. My room was reached by an outdoor spiral staircase like a fire escape. It was raining every night so I ended up soaked. There was a leak in my bathroom which flooded the floor constantly
Friendly staff, good food, good value.

Food was great and the wonderful Eunice made our stay even better, always positive and lovely to be around. Ken and junior were also great tour guides that looked after us very well and made us feel safe at all times whilst also having fun.

AustraliaGiven the overall positive experience at Kweza Bed and Breakfast in Nairobi, there was genuinely not much to dislike. The minor imperfections encountered were vastly overshadowed by the positives, such as the excellent location, affordability, and the warmth of the staff. These strong points made any drawbacks seem negligible, contributing to a stay that was, on the whole, really good and memorable for all the right reasons.
My stay at the Kweza Bed and Breakfast in Nairobi was thoroughly enjoyable, and it ticked all the boxes for a comfortable, budget-friendly accommodation. Located in a convenient spot that made exploring the city a breeze, Kweza was an ideal base for my Nairobi adventures. The affordability of the stay was a major plus, providing great value without compromising on comfort or essentials. But what truly set Kweza apart was the staff; their warmth and hospitality made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived until my departure. Their attentive service and genuine kindness contributed significantly to the overall positive experience of my stay.

GermanyBathroom was clogged with hair when we arrived and even after several days of staying, this was not cleaned so water from the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. Couple cockroaches around the bathroom area.
Breakfast on the rooftop was really nice! There is a convenient system to order breakfast via website and choose exactly what you want in specific time. We had early arrival and staff managed to get our room ready at 8am which was really helpful!

United States of America1 out of 3 nights were noisy. Some people outside were arguing at 3am. The showers get water everywhere and the water gets warm, not hot.
Khweza is a really good budget hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Mosquito nets provided. They often have fans for your rooms. Having a fan was great, because there is no AC. The rooftop restaurant is a great place to chill. The food is hit and miss. The free breakfast was good. The staff is great. We had many questions and requests and they almost always gave us what we needed. We stayed multiple times and would stay again. The area is not the best, but you can easily get an uber anywhere.

United KingdomWe only stayed one night as we had a 24 hour layover in Nairobi before flying back to the UK. The hotel is well located and a 10 minute walk to Nairobi CBD. The rooms are basic and clean and what you would expect for the price. The shower wasn't great, but functional and adequate for a night or two. The roof bar and restuarant is a great place to have a beer or a tasty meal. The staff are amazing. They will go out of their way to make your stay a pleasant one. We were leaving at 6am for our flight so we were to miss breakfast, but the staff member Danny insisted on making us a light breakfast of fruits, toast and coffee at 5:30am so we didn't go to the airport on empty stomachs. I would definitely stay again for a night or two.

SpainOur room was next to the reception so it was loud, unfortunately also during the night when some guests were checking out. Besides that, some noise was coming from the main street but luckily not so much during the night. Also, the light situation is very bad (very weak light bulbs) but we figured it's the general case in Kenya.
Nice staff, good breakfast. Very relaxing rooftop restaurant. You can buy drinks and water from the hotel for a very reasonable price. We had dinner once, the food was good.

United KingdomIt is a budget hotel so some things in the room seemed quite worn. I didn’t have any hot water in the shower, despite following the instructions. Quite noisy however I had earplugs.
The staff are really helpful and friendly and are what make Khweza! - thank you to the staff for helping me with certain things e.g. arranging a last minute mini tour of Nairobi, helping to book my train ticket to Mombasa and storing my bags whilst I was away on safari. The breakfast on the roof terrace was great.

IcelandThe hotel is not in the best area and there are loud cars driving by all day and all night but the hotel staff made the experience worth it. Wi-Fi is not the best so we recommend buying a tourist SIM card.
Amazing staff that’s ready to do anything for you. Dan took us for a city tour that we will never forget. Such a real experience. Peris who works at the tour office was wonderful and made us an unforgettable tour. The reception staff was always ready to help us, they really are the best

United KingdomMy room faced onto a busy road, so it got quite noisy once the morning began. Take earplugs!
The staff were extremely friendly and helped me with my late checkin, airport transfer and their breakfast and the breakfast system was also amazing. It's a short walk from the city which I did alone a couple of times, but for longer distances I used Bolt or Uber, which is better than getting a taxi because then you have to barter, which isn't my thing at 7am.
