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 KingdomThe bathroom could do with updating - just didn't feel that clean and there was a bit of an unpleasant smell.
The owner of Tara Lodge was exceptionally helpful and very friendly. He gave us many recommendations of things to do and places to eat in Kep and organised our onward travel arrangements as well as making dinner reservations for us. Tara Lodge has beautiful gardens and pool area and it was lovely to be able to sit and enjoy them. We had massages in the garden which were very good. We also ate breakfast next to the pool - which started with fresh fruit and lovely juices. The bedroom is big with a nice outdoor seating area and sunlounger - lovely place to relax. From Tara Lodge we were able to take a 10 minute walk down for a drink to watch the sunset and then another 10 min walk to Crab Market which was great and definitely something worth going to. We had a relaxed stay at Tara Lodge and we enjoyed our short visit to Kep.

United KingdomThe restaurant is adequate but overpriced. The centre of Kep is a long walk so it’s a little remote but that is also the charm and is true of many accommodations here. We hired a motorbike to get around which was great. If you’re not comfortable with this then use tuktuks.
Gorgeous relaxing location with lovely rooms and great staff.

GuatemalaCozy wooden cabins surrounded by a beautiful garden. Very spacious so you hardly notice that other guests are there. The pool is large and very clean.Nice sunbeds and chairs around it. Excellent breakfast. And then the owners..... very kind and welcoming. They can arrange motorbike rental, tuk-tuk rides and give info about things to see in the area. I recommend this hotel very much for a few relaxing days in Kep.

CambodiaIt truly is a haven of peace. What a beautiful property. I booked it at the last minute and am so pleased that I did. I wished I could have stayed longer. Just a beautiful, peaceful setting, very personal. I like that it's not a large property, but a small boutique one. My preferred style of accommodation.

The beautiful garden is very well-kept and the dense vegetation offers maximum privacy. Pool and jaccuzi are amazing. Kitchen is immaculate as is the restauraunt upstairs with it's fresh sea breeze and 360° view of the gardens, National Park mountains and Vietnam in the distance. Food is delicious and lovingly prepared with the freshest ingredients. Staff were kind and courteous, always going above and beyond. Patrick and Jim were the most wonderful hosts you could wish for.

Probably the most wonderful stay I have had in my life. Details in decoration, gardening and atmosphere - exceptional good and personal style - gives an incredible peaceful, private and beautiful atmosphere. The garden is the garden of Eden. Breakfast was delicious.

CambodiaI was not a fan of the coffee and would like to see this improved. I normally drink a lot of coffee and would have ordered a lot off the menu but I didn't because of the taste. Some hair conditioner in the bathroom and body moisturizer (for after sunburn) would be great to offer.
We absolutely loved our stay at Tara Lodge, it was our first stay and we will be back for sure! the rooms are great for families - two queen beds and space to move plus a large balcony with seating. The pool is awesome, love the salt water. Service was outstanding, they went out of their way to make our stay special (including a cake for my daughters Birthday!) love that the resort is pet-friendly, we brought our small toy poodle with us. The food was nice. Having breakfast included in the price was great. Our hotwater and TV were not working but they were fixed as soon as we asked - great service! The lush tropical environment around the rooms and pool are so inviting, relaxing and tranquil. LOVE TARA LODGE!
