This is average 3 star hotel. Bathroom faucet was broken, didn’t hv head shower. Surrounding area is unsafe to walk around by yourself. Dinner buffet was terrible. So I ordered a ka carte which was good. Breakfast buffet was good. Staff was friendly

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.

Boma Hotel has been for a long time my go to Hotel. However, my previous two visits have not been pleasant at all. The rooms need throughly maintenance/overhaul. The carpets look dated, which is not nice.
