Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomNothing, it was pure perfection!
The most idyllic place to stay on the island if you want to really switch off and relax. The trek through the jungle to reach the property from Saracen Bay at first seemed long and hot but was so worth the wait! An amazing sunset greets you every evening. Such a chilled vibe here with great food & drinks and the nicest couple who run it. Free snorkelling was a highlight as we saw some amazing fish. Comfy beds and cute bungalows. We loved it here so so much and will be back!

United StatesNot really a complaint but it’s worth managing your expectations re: infrastructure on such an isolated beach. Accommodation is pretty basic and the bathrooms could use an update - the water seemed to go out in the morning a lot. You’re paying for the location rather than luxury, but the location is worth it!
Great location right on the beach, tucked into the jungle. Delicious food and very friendly helpful staff. Appreciated the free snorkel gear and friendly resident dogs :)

CambodiaThe location is just breathtaking, its a bit of a hike down to sunset the beach so it stays kind of private, ppl want to go there. The beach is pretty with snorkeling opportunities and raked sand( no sandflies!). Nothing can top waking up by the sound of waves and a fresh seabreeze. food options,keeping logistics in mind, are plenty with reasonable prices. 100%recommondation❤️

United KingdomMentioning these things for awareness and it’s definitely not a negative about the accommodation itself… We had a power cut when the generator went out and that meant the water and electricity didn’t work for 24hrs. The owner went and got a new generator and installed it within 24hrs which was a very difficult thing to do considering the isolated part of the island. The hike was quite tough with bags but doable, just take bug spray!
Great location and on a really quiet beach. Bungalow was clean and well kept with a fan which worked all night. Toilets/showers also well kept in a shared space and clean. Good food at the restaurant and very friendly staff. A really enjoyable stay.

AustriaWe stayed at KAMAKU for 3 nights :) its located at the sunset beach on Koh Rong Sanloem and it has a beautiful beach 😍 The guesthouse is really nice and lovely. They have one doorm (in which we stayed in) it comes with a room but the sides are open - which is good cause it gets quite hot at night. Beds come with a van and a mosquito net (unfortunately some of them have holes 🙈) The bathrooms are okay - enough toilet paper and lights for the night but be prepared for animails (it is a jungle there hehe) The restaurant serves spanish food, burgers and really good breakfast 🥞 the team is super friendly and helps with everything you need ;) Just make sure you know that there is no reception on this part of the island (they have wifi on some spots available but only limited) Thank you and maybe see you soon👋🏼

FranceThe shared toilets didnt lock when we were there but otherwise everything was really nice !
Had a lovely stay at this beautiful hotel by the beach. The beach is definitely beautiful and worth the little (and very easy) hike through the island ! The room was quite big and the bed was comft, with a beautiful view on the beach from the room and hammock. The food at the restaurant was also very good and there is a place next to the dive center that offers good coffee ✨️

ItalyThe time we spent here was very nice. From the beginning they gave us very detailed instructions on how to reach the beach and this made it easier to arrive. The beach is amazing, clean and not crowded, so perfect for relaxing. The bungalow at Kamaku was cozy, clean and quiet because it's in the last part of the beach, but a bit dark. They offer mainly spanish food, but you have the possibility of eating in the other places on the beach (there are four places, Kamaku, Robinson bungalows, Sunboo and Sleeping Trees). Moreover, at Kamaku you have the possibility of borrowing snorkeling masks and playing board games.

United KingdomCan be a bit expensive as there are limited places to be able to eat. Also worth checking where your ferry gets in to, otherwise you need to arrange an expensive taxi boat or hike/climb through the jungle across the island

Czech RepublicSometimes you can see trash in the drain or at the beaches next door. But the trash comes from the sea. So hard to avoid that.

United KingdomLots of mosquitoes but that’s part of the course in that neck of the woods! Mosquito net is a must- we learned the hard way!
Stunning, small beach- only a few resorts and restaurants, all offering a range of meals so there are great options and they are all friendly and working together it seems so no hassle. Truly remote and special. Julia and Oscar and the whole team were delightful. Food delicious. Effective and easy check in and check out. We stayed in the beach front bungalow which was beautiful- better than the pictures! Great value for money. Very low key, down to earth and just a wonderful place to stay.

United KingdomFood/drinks are a little pricey but we expected this given the remote location. The shared toilet block needs some tlc.
Beautiful location, so secluded, very quiet and the beach is located far away from the big commercial development that is happening on Koh Rong Sanloem. The only people on the beach were those who were staying in the 4 accommodation options. Lots of different food options over the 4/5 restaurants on this side of the island. It’s a 30 min walk to sunset beach from Saracen bay. However, for both ferry crossings we accidentally booked the ferry that took us to the south end of the bay, which added an extra 30 mins on to the walk (1 hr total). Make sure you book the ferry to the pier on the north end of Saracen bay!

United Kingdom* As noted, on other reviews, some new locks on the bathrooms would be great; but that's just nitpicking.
* Friendly staff * Unbeatable location. Best part of the beach, and I like that they made a real effort to keep the immediate area looking great. * Beach views from the bungalow. * Hammocks on the beach. * Free snorkel for use

United KingdomThe bathrooms could use a little love.
The location is the main selling point, but one of the reasons the location is so amazing is the staff who make sure the beach is clean. It really is a paradise. We also appreciated the attention to detail, the bowl of water at each door to wash off sandy feet and the dustpan and brush inside the room to get rid of sand where a great touch! Also, the walk from Saracen Bay to Sunset Beach is easy, even with backpacks. I was really anxious about it being difficult after reading some other reviews (as I’m not a ‘hiker’) but the trail is kept well and it was not a struggle at all! We even hiked in and out to visit other beaches during our stay in flip flops with no problem.

DenmarkThe price felt on the higher side in comparison to other similar options on this beach.
Beautiful bungalow at the beach front. Spacious and comfortable bed. Shared showers were spacious and really clean. Beach is beautiful. Very kind and nice staff. Quiet location on the beach. For info: The access requires some hiking (like all sunset beach). Worth it, but not suitable for suitcases.
