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 reviewThe garden is particularly beautiful, the grass is well manicured and they have so many flowers that add to the beauty of the place. Quite a sizable compound with many green ground. The small trail is a haven for some quiet time, reading, meditating etc. The staff were very nice, friendly and hospitaable. I quite enjoyed the breakfast as well. Will definitely visit again
Thank you soo much and welcome again.

Verified reviewI absolutely loved my time at this campsite! From the moment I arrived, Melanie and Eliud went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They met me off the bus, spoke with the driver to make sure everything went smoothly, and even gave me a little orientation walk around the grounds. Their kindness and generosity really stood out - they were always happy to help, offering great advice and connecting me with local guides to help organise my stay. The rooms are lovely, with super comfy beds, hot water, and all the little comforts you’d hope for. The campsite itself is beautiful - full of flowers, peaceful spots to sit and relax, and even its own woodland walk, which I absolutely loved exploring every day. They also have dorm options in pre-pitched tents if you’re on a budget. Breakfast was amazing, and they provided perfect packed lunches for my day trips. In the evenings they even served a delicious dinner right at my bungalow - such a treat! The location is just outside of town in the best way - you get that calm, countryside feel while still being well connected. Matatus run along the main road right outside, making it easy to get into Nanyuki or head toward Nairobi. It’s also just next to the Trout Tree Restaurant, which is an easy walk if you’re looking for a nice lunch out. I truly can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning next time I’m in Nanyuki!

Verified reviewI really loved the host! He was so helpful, always ensuring we were okay. His team was also quite awesome! I loved the meals there. And most importantly, the gardens were quite beautiful. I just loved it!
It get's a bit chilly at night so an electric heater would be ideal.

Verified reviewIf looking for anything fancy, this is not the place. It was convenient for us as we were just looking for a place for the night and continue with our journey! The place is by the road hence noise from cars and motorcycles using the road. Staff were amazing!!
