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...).

SloveniaThe pool on the roof is not heated, which does not feel that good in August time, when Nairobi is colder. But that is the building administration, not dependent of the owner. Just wanted to share. Nonetheless, the area was nice with great views, a bar and a gym on the roof.
It was extremely easy to talk to the owner, we got all the relevant info asap, which we reallz appreciate. The room was extremely spaceous and clean with a very comfortable bed. Nice view from the balcony as well! The keys were received at the 24h reception and on the bottom was also one little grocery shop, which was convenient. Very close by was a shopping mall, good for some restaurants and 3min away was an Alchemist bar, which is a must visit when in Nairobi. The pool on the roof had great views and it felt cosy, although it was cold. Great apartment! Thanks :)

ItalyGreat location and apartment in the Westlands. The apartment is new and clean, and the Skynest Building offers many opportunities such as a rooftop swimming pool, sauna, and restaurant/bar/supermarket. The reception is open 24/7. We had a very pleasant stay, we highly recommend this solution. You can find Uber/taxis right outside the building, there’s a mall and many other stores/restaurants at walkable distance. Thank you again!

United KingdomMiss Joan was fantastic. Easy transfer from the station to the apartment and she was on hand to advise and guide us as we settled in. The apartment itself is beautiful, stylishly decorated and comfortable with stunning views and premium amenities. Felt very safe and we were well located. Loved Nairobi, wish we could have stayed longer and would highly recommend this Luxury Skynest apartment. Did we mention that Miss Joan was a highlight?

TanzaniaThe apartment was beautiful and very clean, with everything you would need including a well equipped kitchen. The furnished balcony was a great place to enjoy the city views. Parking was quick & easy and the building's team of staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool was incredible, there was also a nice rooftop garden, gym, sauna and steam room. The Chocolate Bar cafe, Slate Kitchen and shop on the ground floor were excellent and handy for quick convenience. The apartment's hosts responded quickly and helpfully to our requests. Joan was friendly and helpful and made the check-in and check-out process very smooth. A wonderful stay, definitely recommend!

United StatesNo A/C but they did have a fan in the living area and one in the bedroom. My main issue was payment. I chose to pay via card on booking.com however, once I arrived and was in the space, the property manager came and said they were having issues with the payment and that I needed to pay cash. I was never told of this before and thankfully I had just enough cash on hand to pay her but it felt terrible to have to panic and search my suitcase for enough cash when I had originally thought I paid via card through the website and was given no prior notice that I needed to pay via cash once I was there.
The location and actual apartment was beautiful. Great view from the balcony. The pool and rooftop area was great. Check in was convenient. I just got the key from the front desk staff.
