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.).

Obiwan made everything possible. Even after the restaurant closed he made us a coffee. We booked the tour also over Indra Valley and we enjoyed it a lot, especially the rafting back on the river. The accommodation is directly at the river and the view in the jungle is beautiful! We had a very nice stay, thank you Obiwan and the staff !!!

GreeceThere was not breakfast or meal choice. Also, although the location by the river was good, the hotel was quite far from the road, so we had to hire porters to carry our baggage, with a charge.
Very good location by the river. Our room had a superb view of the river and the jungle on the background, but had more than double price in comparison with other rooms, which had not any view. So, I recommend to choose the expensive option. Comfortable, clean room. The hotel owner organized a jungle trekking for us to observe orangutans, and we were satisfied from this service.

The property was very nice and clean! Deluxe room is very spacious, clean, and had a beautiful view. You could even see different animals from the balcony. Obiwan and his team were so kind and helpful. We really felt like they treated us as family instead of guests. Very genuine people. Their jungle trek is the best! They know the jungle so well and also treat the animals respectfully.

SingaporeTake this mantra from the crew seriously : "You are here for holiday, NOT for competition." Tips: If you can't comprehend, go seek the Master (Obiwan) when you are there @ Indra Valley. Interesting trip, friendly people, and please don't forget to tip if you are happy with the service rendered.

Beautiful location right on the river, you can watch monitor lizards and Monkeys while eating a delicious breakfast. The food in the restaurant was excellent, we ate almost every meal here. The rooms are very clean and the beds comfortable. Obiwan and his staff were all extremely helpful and kind with excellent English. We chose to organise the 2 day jungle trek with them and it was a great decision, the guides and the overall experience was excellent.

AustraliaBudget room has no hot water but we found this fine and you can upgrade to deluxe room if you'd prefer.
The owner is very friendly and extremely helpful if you want to book any tours or jungle treks and he helped us organise a car from Medan to Bukit Lawang which made it very easy. The place is nice and the food at the restaurant is tasty and very reasonably priced. Would recommend staying as it's nice and close to the forest and not too busy an area.

United StatesWell designed room. I was totally charmed by the view of the jungle valley village visible from my balcony The river ran right by my windows, and this produces a white noise effect. I arrived on a Saturday night, and would have had to listen to karaoke without it. I’m a light sleeper, so this “feature” was quite useful for me. I should also note that the manager-owner is really good and effective in communication. His English is quite strong (which, incidentally, compensates for the limited skill in this regard among the broader hotel staff).

AustraliaWe had a really great time at Indra Valley Inn and for sure recommend this place. Obiwan was great at communicating with us before we arrived and made sure we had a nice stay. The jungle trek we organised through Indra was also amazing - we had a great guide Imran who was very knowledgeable and the delicious food in the jungle was a bonus. Obiwan also helped us organise transport and other day tours - anything you need really. The location of Indra Valley was also really good - far away enough from the main part of the village to spot monkeys and birds from the balcony and restaurant. A nice place to chill out while not trekking

Fun vibe at the hotel. Arranged excellent transport to and from Bukit Lawang. Room with view of river and jungle. Surprisingly comfy given remote jungle location. Thanks for the laughs and great jungle trek guys.
