We initially chose this hotel because the aesthetics are absolutely gorgeous the grounds photographed well and the amenities met all of our needs. Upon arrival all staff went above and beyond to serve from the security team all the way down to the maintenance crew. A huge shout out to The breakfast bunch that provided excellent service. The sauna was not working but the steam room was and if you have sinuses you won't once you leave. The gym and the ground were state of the art. The location was centralized so we were able to get everywhere for less than $10 via Uber. We had gated security that checked all vehicles all bags are attractive on arrival. You feel safe and at Home hence why it's called Boma! I have to go back to breakfast because it was extremely diverse the food was amazing and fresh. Now the only thing that I would have to mention is that we ask for extra blankets to make the bed a little bit more comfortable but other than that we have no complaints. Asantè

The rooms were okay, seemed clean.

We booked the transportation from the airport to the hotel and they just never came. We ended up getting a different ride. I told the front desk person about it and they said they would look into it but they never did and we had prepaid.

We arrived late on Friday night after 24 hours of travel and they only had 1 person at the front desk and a big group in front of us so it took about an additional 1/2 hour to get our room. Not ideal after a very long day+ of travel.

I asked the front desk for some bottled waters and it took three separate times and two different people before I got it.

I think they were just understaffed. I will have to dispute the charge for the transportation with my credit card since they never did anything about it for me.

The Boma Hotel was closed due to severe flooding and had no power or water. I was moves next door to the Boma Inn. The staff were great and friendly, although they were dealing with a crisis. The Boma Inn is an okder facility and okay, however, I paid for the 5 star Boma Hotel and was charged for the Boma Hotel. The Boma Inn did not have TV or any amenities. I was amazed at well the staff did setting up a makeshift restaurant for the impacted guests.

The hotel is close to the national park and felt very safe and secure.

Sammy, who works at the holtel was especially helpful.

Not 5 Star. Decent Value

The hotel grounds were lush but the inside of the hotel was decent, and that's the perfect word to describe my overall experience at The Boma Nairobi. The food was just decent. Breakfast? For the money, it was simply \"okay.\"

Truth be told, I was disappointed with my stay. The mini fridge had leftover condensation and a bit of mold inside, which might not have been a huge issue to handle had it worked.

This is a decent hotel - it's not a 5 star establishment.

The Boma Nairobi had everything I needed.

The bathroom had options for a quick shower, and a deep bath- which for me, as someone who is big on self-care really loves.

Next, the buffet option for breakfast, lunch or dinner, provides one with several options of what to eat.

Next, the staff members are very professional and peasant.

Lastly, the security protocol is worth mentioning, because you go through a check, similar to the TSA at an airport, which for me, was really cool.

I would want this experience over and over, and can't wait to bring our partners to Kenya, to have such a luxurious experience!

Best,

Our flight was delayed. We were unable to stay at the Boma. We booked with free cancellation. The Boma Hotel refused to refund the one night we paid for. The amount is being disputed with the bank because the Boma hotel is committing fraud. When you book and add free cancellation, the Boma does not have the right to keep the money and tell Expedia that they have strict policies. Malcom, Joseph, and the manager at the Boma Hotel are committing fraud. Do not stay there because if the airline is delayed, you will lose your money. There are nice hotels that won’t steal from you.
