Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United KingdomWe had different rooms on different days of our stay, the second rooms bed was not at comfy - so I recommend you ask for a room on the third floor.
The WiFi was good and the shower had good pressure. The staff, especially security were nice and helpful. The location is close to good restaurants and easy to walk to Fort Jesus

LuxembourgAC was very noisy and the regular fan wasn't working (since we were only there for the night and discovered about it very late we didn't get to ask ro fix it) but therefore we slept without AC or fan and woke up because of the heat to turn AC on. The o ky other issue in my opinion is the window being single glazing meaning your can hear traffic. It would also be cool of the pool opened a bit longer so that people who get there late from the Nairobi train can still enjoy it.
The historicam building is beautiful and gives this hotel a unique charm. The rooms are quite big and confortable, there is even AC (even tough it's a bit noisy). Food at the restaurant is very good and so are the cocktails. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Pool area looks quite cool and relaxing but we didn't get to use it since the pool closes at 6pm.

SpainThe rooms are outdated and need definitely a renewal. Our air conditioning was not working, and it was warm in the room. We could not sleep. The light of the corridors to the rooms is always on, and there is no way to block it, so it never gets dark in the room. Moreover, it is very noisy in the hotel, with constant doors slapping (they were difficult to open and close) and furniture movement
Friendly staff and very nice welcome. The pool in the terrace is renewed and definitely a highlight. The beds are conformable. The hotel has a beautiful style when you see it from outside.

United KingdomI stayed for 6 days and there were a couple of times that the a/c had a problem. The room I had has a balcony towards the street so leaving the window/door open would cool down the room but it would be very noisy. There was a problem with hot water the first day I checked in. But both times the problem was solved within a couple of hours.
The location of the hotel is really central. Colonial style architecture and well preserved. The room is spacious. Breakfast was very good and generous. The staff is really helpful and always ready to solve a problem.

South AfricaThe hotel is situated on Moi Avenue (which cannot be helped). If you are a light sleeper, request a room towards the back of the hotel.
The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. The hotel is well situated and only 15 minutes from the airport. The beauty of the design and history behind the hotel is very interesting. The rooms are very comfortable and with air conditioning which helps in the very hot climate.
