Why does it ask me to input a string even after guessing the right string
secret_word = "giraffe"
guess = ""
while guess != secret_word:
guess = input("Enter your guess: ")
print("Bravo, you've guessed it right!")
python python-3.x loops while-loop

Seems to be working fine here both in Python 3.4 and 3.7.1. Can you provide a picture of your code and terminal?

@Deathraider26 You can use 4 spaces in-front of each line of code to get it to format as code.

Your original code worked for me on python. You could potentially try getting rid of leading and trailing spaces to make it more robust.
secret_word = "giraffe"
guess = ""
while guess.strip() != secret_word:
guess = input("Enter your guess: ")
print("Bravo, you've guessed it right!")
If you are using a Python 2 Interpreter it would not work as well due to syntax changes; therefore, you could edit your code to be Python 2 compatible. Or you may be calling the wrong terminal in the command line, to make sure that it is python three you can do usually do python3 my_program.py to explicitly use python 3.
secret_word = "giraffe"
guess = ""
while guess != secret_word:
guess = raw_input("Enter your guess: ")
print "Bravo, you've guessed it right!"
Cheers!
