Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The staff are exceptional in their care for guests however the facility itself is not new and could use an upgrade. The facility has another location across the hotel which is a bit more modern. I stayed there and enjoyed my stay for 7 days.

An amazing hotel. Good cuisine and the service is heartwarming.It was a great stay and the service was fantastic from the front desk to the waiter at the bar, it was a relaxing place and it helped me continued doing my work but in a relaxed way. It was a great and relaxing place to hold a conference.

This is definitely a horrible hotel with one of the worst customer service. We made booking and paid for it, arrived late due to flight delays. And our reservation was not made. The staff were so non challant and left us stranded by 11pm at night. I will not recommend this place.

Positives: Air con in the room, which is much needed! Our air con was broken so they moved us into another room for the night while they fixed it. Fridge in room which was handy to keep drinks cold. Staff were generally very helpful and friendly. Close to the airport Local shops and restaurants nearby Negatives: 1 towel per room, even when 2 people are occupying! I had to ask to speak to the manager to complain and we were eventually given another towel. When I asked why this was their policy I was told it was because people steal the towels! Either way I was not impressed. When the towels are changed, they are not replaced straight away; on numerous times I was unable to dry my hands or shower and had to wait a while until they brought clean towels. Breakfast was the same everyday and got very repetitive after 8 days! Also there didn’t seem to be enough food; things were not replenished when they finished. On a few occasions I asked for butter and was told there wasn’t any! Breakfast was not ready on our last day so we had to go without eating which was very disappointing. Breakfast is meant to be served between 5.30am-10am and we went down at 7am but there was no food. We ordered but it was not ready; not good enough. We were told there was no breakfast because there were not many guests staying but surely they should still cater appropriately for the guests they have. All in all, this hotel was below the standard I am used to and it’s very unlikely I would stay here again when I come to Nigeria.

Good day sir. We sincerely apologize for this. We are investigating this issue and those responsible will be punished accordingly. Regarding the breakfast you couldn't get at 7am, this is a one-off incident as I was told that you had a flight to catch and left in a hurry. Kindly accept my apologies.

My stay at BWS was mixed and I'd say the hotel is average at best. The room was clean and decent enough, I enjoyed the buffet breakfast as the food tasted good (except the milk which was obviously heavily diluted with water), the reception staff were attentive and pleasant and overall the hotel was clean. The room had a small fridge which worked fine as well as a mini safe. There's also a small indoor pool and gym. Unfortunately however the wifi was non functional thus I couldn't use it at all; the air conditioning unit was poor, I complained about this twice and though the technician did show up, that didn't solve the problem and the room temperature therefore fluctuated between warm and semi cold throughout my stay. The staff at the restaurant perhaps could be a bit more lively. Overall my stay was average and I'm unlikely to stay at the hotel in the future.

I stayed at the new annex in Victoria Island close to the Bar Beach (as it then was). The beach that used to be across the other side of Ahmadu Bello has been sand-filled and moved many nautical miles in to the Atlantic Ocean. Its so amazing to see new skyscrapers erected in the reclaimed part of Victoria Island. It adds to the glamour of the Hotel as one sees the beautiful scenery from the transparent elevators and also from the room. I also like the in-built swimming pool on the second floor. The restaurant offers very sumptuous but very affordable meals including continental, African and special dishes. There is always car services to and from the airport and other parts of Lagos that has been transformed into a beautiful clean city. I find it irresistibly attractive in terms of comfortable room, swimming pool, delicious meals and other

This has to be the worst Best Western in the world!!! Rooms are disgusting, bathrooms are falling to pieces. Furniture is old. no care or attention taken. Restaurant is ok , however 2 hours to make a 10" pizza - Dissapointing. Nothing more to say about the hotel.
