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, Bisola-Mariam (Founder and CEO, ideyforyou).

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.

Fantastic Hotel
This is a fantastic hotel in a great location for Nairobi airport, Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre all south of the city. The rooms were very spacious with a powerful shower.

Positives: appreciate that had lovely breakfast, affordable dinner, a gym, and a pool. Staff very helpful. Things to improve: wifi very poor, not all outlets work at all, esp by pool, pool closes at 6-7 pm (should be 8-9), no ice cubes available about 1/2 time, and shower in my room very small w door opening inward--no way to avoid water on bathroom floor, and a person larger than myself couldnt close the shower door once in the shower. Room 2512. Also, you can't tip staff when paying w credit card unless have cash.

The property is dated substantially. Shower doors will leak, you might be missing light bulbs, the decor is dated, the wifi might be weak. The spa is dated but the service was actually great (spent 3 hrs there … towels are falling apart but the elixir body scrub and massage were amazing). The tembo restaurant on site has a large menu and the food is pretty good … the service is done with a smile but you may need to flag down people or ask for things. They are very nice. I stayed here on 3 different occasions in the span of 2 weeks. The security is pretty good. The shower will leak on your bathroom floor. The beds are comfy enough.

The bathroom drainage was choked and flooded the bathroom. When informed of the problem, the housekeeping merely wiped off the water and said that everything was okay. 3 hours later when we cam back, the bathroom floor flooded again and they took another 90 minutes to try to solve the problem, but did not succeed, and finally changed us to another room. This room the drainage was okay, but the room was very warm for comfort. Overall not a good experience.

Not a very good experience
Not so great experience, booked a deluxe room which was facing the swimming pool outside of neighbouring building and so noisy through out the afternoon and evening. One of the Receptionist was very friendly but there was a man at the reception who was extremely rude & wasn’t welcoming at all. There was wedding reception was happening today on 26th Aug with very loud music when sitting in the lounge area and toilets are unattended n unacceptable near the restaurant to use. Not a 5 star hotel I am afraid and I won’t recommend at all.

My first impression of the property was the safety and security of guests. The team members were very friendly and always willing to help. The concierge desk was very valuable as the team there were able to assist us in tours of choice; notwithstanding that everything is organized for you. Customer service checked us to ensure our stay was comfortable and to our expectation. Staff in dining areas were pleasant, rooom service was 24 hours. The BOMA hotel felt like a home away from home. Thanks Expedia for offering the choice of this property, that gave me value for money.

Checkin: Checkin took 20 minutes, as they couldn’t find my reservation that I booked through Expedia. Room: Air conditioning unit sounded like a generator, very loud. Most outlets didn’t work, I even had one fall out of the wall. The usb slot didn’t work, lucky I had my adapter with me. I went to the gym to use the sauna and there nobody at the gym front desk which meant having to go behind the desk myself to grab a towel and find the sauna myself. The room shower would go searing hot every few minutes on its own accord. Three shampoos in the shower but no conditioner. The room service menu was based off a tiny QR code below the tv that I was not informed about at Checkin and therefore couldn’t see it, it took a trip back to reception to find this out. At checkout I needed to print a document but I’d been cutoff from the guest wifi and the front desk didn’t know the password to the lounge wifi - so had to wait 5 minutes for a manager to arrive and try input the password for me. All in all a frustrating nights stay at the Boma, just seems like a badly managed property.

I like that the staff were courteous but I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t enter the property with a slice of cake that was recommended to me by a Kenyan citizen, nor could I enter with water that I bought at a supermarket. I understand that Nairobi has security concerns but when it affects cake and water, it starts to feel like a prison environment instead of a place to vacation. Also, the last few days of my stay, the bathroom had a stench as if someone had used a map that had been wet for a while to wipe it
