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.).

BelgiumPersonally, we wanted to have more comfort for a long stay (more than 1 week), but for a few nights, the quality/price is good. We liked our stay here.
We loved this place for the fluorescent plankton tour and the restaurant. The owner is a passionate person about marine biodiversity and showed us so many beautiful specimens. The food is delicious, especially the eggplants. Such a good vibe here.

GermanyRoosters right outside the room so it’s getting loud in the morning but it’s everywhere in the island. Only one fan was working but the temperature was fine. Basic accommodation but also very very cheap. Would definitely stay again!
It’s basic but perfectly fine for the price you’re paying. Amazing location just a one minute walk from the pier. The owner is a lovely guy who’s happy to help you with any questions. He goes above and beyond to help you arrange onwards travel. We extended twice.

Thailand- The owners are extremely helpful and friendly - food is great! - Location perfect This Hostel is not on the main island so be careful with the booking. If you don't plan to come to this smaller island, do it and go swimming with the blue plankton it's magnificent. The owners will give you all the necessary information.

UkraineSpicy23 - Great atmosphere, delicious food in the restaurant, cozy shady courtyard, swing, interesting people from different countries gather around. The owners are very nice and pleasant, educated, speak excellent English with their princess daughter! The owner is a certified diving instructor and arranges interesting underwater excursions. Wonderful and friendly staff!!! all the girls are very caring and sweet! Especially the waitress Zoe from Canada - an amazing young girl!) Unusual living conditions - island! - for undemanding tourists. But at the same time there is almost everything for minimal comfort. There are clean bed linen and towels. (Towels were not provided in the shared room, only in individual ones, which, however, are not entirely individual, which is not clear from the description. The rooms are separated by thick curtains). There is no soundproofing, but there is a complete feeling and audibility of nature!!! And this compensates for everything) I was very pleased to have a shower and toilet on the second floor, belonging to only two rooms! There was no need to go down the very steep stairs again! For people with physical problems, such a staircase will be an insurmountable obstacle; in this case, it is better to choose a room on the 1st floor. Wi-Fi is not available. Only in neighboring cafes. There is a beach to walk 100m, and there is further, to the right of the pier, 15 minutes walk along the shore in the shade!!! very beautiful long beach with white sand (take repellent, I was bitten by insects there). There is also a stone gathering on the left where you can snorkel on your own. I also recommend going to the equipped observation deck at sunset, uphill nearby, up to 1 km. A beautiful island, a wonderful friendly small village, wonderful, kind and smiling residents. Felt safe! Be sure to check the weather forecast (no storms) so you can get to this bay. Yes, we got a wonderful and unusual New Year's holiday!

GermanyLocated in M'Pai Bay, a sweet village on Koh Rong Sanloem, this is probably the best value accomodation in Cambodia. Run by a sweet Thai-Cambodian family with an adorable daughter this small homestay offers two small fan rooms on the second floor of their restaurant. The rooms are clean, you have mosquito nets and comfortable double beds. The owner Jeerapong is a genuinely kind and interesting person always good for a quick (or longer) chat :) He is very knowledgable about the islands and animals and made our stay here unforgettable. From swimming in a tiny waterfall in the jungle, to telling us the best time and place to see the glowing plancton (its mindblowing from underwater with a snorkel) and transport to and hikes in other parts of the island. He is also an experienced diver and underwater photograph, whos working to protect the local reefs and fish. On our dive with him we saw loads of strange but fascinating animals and macro live. All in all if you want to have an authentic experience, lovely hosts and great value this is the place to stay in Koh Rong! Thank you!

CambodiaThere is no sink in the bathroom. The 'room' could be bigger, one of the double rooms is basically just the bed. We would have enjoyed a bigger common area separate from the restaurant, there is a bench with pillows.
The owners were exceptionally kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay there. It's located close to the beach and coral reef in a little village. The Spicy is also an restaurant, the food was delicious. It's good value overall.

GermanyWe shared the double room (shared bathroom) & it felt like sleeping in a tree house. Everything very natural & you fall asleep with jungle sounds. Great location in the middle of the village. Please bare in mind that there might be bugs & also sand on the floor. The shower is cold water only. However it’s island style and we loved it! The owner was so kind and the food in the restaurant delicious.

SwedenThis is not something that bothered us, but be aware that the 2-person bedrooms are not really private. Only reason I’m even mentioning this is because it wasn’t really clear in the booking. It’s kind of tree-house style (very cozy!) and you ”close” with a curtain, so it’s more like dorms but with double beds. I wish there were lockers for bags!
Good location. The owners are super nice and helpful and happy to talk to you. Best of all is the restaurant in the courtyard, very cozy and some of the best food we’ve had in Asia. Reasonable price also!

IrelandThis guesthouse is situated in an ideal position for M’Pai bay. We stayed in one of the upstairs rooms, it was clean and comfortable and a bug net was supplied. The toilet was shared with the room beside us which was no problem at all. We had some of the food downstairs which was incredible and the couple that own the guesthouse were very friendly and always willing to help or for a chat. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The rooms was upstairs with one other room so one bathroom between two which was perfect. There's a mosquito net provided and a fan to help keep cool. The food downstairs was delicious as well we had the egg plant chicken and garlic ginger chicken which highly recommend. Everyone on the island is really nice so speak with the owners for any recommendations of things to do or what parties are in if that is your thing but if you're looking for a relaxing holiday it's great for that too.

The owners are really friendly and they want to preserve the marine life, he was a former diver who volunteered for a conservation marine association. The village is authentic, children, the small school, people cooking in their houses and selling the meals...there are also foreigners selling junk food, but you can avoid :) the long beach is amazing and in 20 min you can reach clearnwater Bay, another deserted loong beach
