How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewConvenient one night stay near the airport to avoid protests. The host- Benson was responsive and welcoming. Clean place.
No curtains to block the sunlight in the morning. I would recommend to make your own breakfast if possible or give clear instructions of what and how to be made.

Verified reviewThe bed in the bigger room I stayed at was comfortable
I didn't like pretty much everything else. I only needed a quiet night to sleep for 5-6 hours before my next flight. I booked this because ON THE MAP the place looks close to the airport; however, the drive took about 20 minutes and the address was confusing. There was no sign on the address mentioned on Booking, and it was so dark and even the Uber driver who was a local was a bit scared. The house itself has no security guard, but there's a guard on the street that probably takes care of multiple houses. I understand I booked in the evening and the owners had things to do so they were not home. When I took the key from the security guard outside and checked in, I saw that downstairs, the common area is dirty and there are leftover rice and chicken plates in kitchen, as well as a pot of some old boiled stuff on the stove. The stove gas was partly open and it smelled like gas, which is actually dangerous. Then the owners came back and by that time I had still not been able to sleep though I had little time left. I asked that they give me my breakfast as dinner as I hadn't eaten anything all day. They didn't have anything vegetarian, they said, so they gave me a small bag of potato chips and some soda which I had no choice but to take. Then at 9:30-10 pm they started (seemingly violently) taking the screaming chickens out of their truck. It was so disturbing to hear the screams. And simultaneously the lady started doing the dirty dishes as I was trying to sleep. I asked the host for a partial refund or at least to drive me to the airport due to the scary dark streets in the middle od the night, but he said he can't. All in all, I HIGHLY REGRET booking this place as better places which would probably take the same amount of time by car were available. I would never book this place again.
you came while already drunk., so I have nothing to say God will bless you.

Verified reviewRelatively clean and not far from the airport. Breakfast was good.
The road leading to it is not very good, directions could have been better - name of house is different from the housing complex name. Had to ask for toiletries as they were missing, the shower was not working - was offered an alternative to use.
sorry for that , we will improve

Verified reviewThe house is very good. Clean rooms, Very comfortable beds. Damaris the caretaker was an excellent and kind lady. She made our stay really good. Good breakfast too.
When I was booking for a family of 5, I expected the system to automatically provide 2 rooms or enough space for 5, not sure if this the hosts problem or bookings problem. Benard, please ensure you provide all the information, and more importantly that the house is shared with other strangers. I did not see this info online. I felt very unsafe with strangers and my family in the same house.
sorry for any inconvenience caused, I promise to improve 🙏

Verified reviewIt is a nice, clean but basic place near the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. We stayed here overnight to catch an early morning flight. The staff was super sweet and accommodating even though we booked the place last minute and checked in late at night. It was a great price for a place to stay reasonably close to the airport (it was a 15min drive away).
The room we had was rather small and cramped. We didn't have a place to keep our stuff. However, I understand given that we had dropped in last minute and they may not have had time to prepare other rooms.
actually it's true, it was late check in rooms where all taken, sorry for that next time you will get nice room.

Verified reviewThe room is clean and comfortable. The staff is very helpful and responsive. There's breakfast in the price of the room, but if you stay just for the evening you can ask them to serve you food in the evening. Great place to stay if you need a place to take a shower or rest before the flight. The price is super cheap compared to the service!
The location is near the airport,but roads lead to it are in a bad shape.
