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.).

GermanyWe would like to thank the whole Lucky Bamboo family also including Mahadi for our wonderful time in Bukit Lawang. They have received us with so much warmth, happiness, commitment and help. This time was something very special for us that we will never forget. We have a lot of respect for what they all do every day and are also thankful that their work also makes a very important contribution to protecting the rainforest with all its plants and animals.

ItalyI spend 3 nights (+1 in the jungle) in this place and was awesome. At the beginning I was a bit worried because I’m travelling alone but Jhonny helped me with everything. He organised for me a pick up from the airport, the trek in the jungle (2days 1night) and the transfer for my next destination! He gave me all the information I needed for my stay, he answered to all my question about the jungle and the orangutan, was really interesting. I had a great time there, the room was big, clean and the temperature was perfect, I loved the space outside, a spent all my time sitting in the chair just outside my room chilling. The last day they also helped me with my laundry I definitely recommend this place! Thank you Jhonny and thanks to all the people in Lucky Bamboo! Auuuauuuuu

United KingdomThe only thing to note is there are no hot showers, although we knew this on booking after a week it was certainly something we were craving! It still didn’t detract from the incredible experience we had- don’t let it put you off!
From the second we booked Johnny was so accommodating, staying in regular contact via WhatsApp to answer any queries we had. He also organised transfers to and from the airport, as well as activities- use the locals he recommends as it’s a much more authentic experience and they really do look after you well! The atmosphere at lucky bamboo is amazing, we instantly were made to feel welcome by Johnny and his family. They settled us in and we’re always checking up on us, we had many evenings sat chatting to them and other guests staying at the home stay. It is situated right next to the jungle, so it is guaranteed that you will see monkeys each day as they come down and climb around the villas, the river which runs through the village is close by and perfect for a swim. There are also no motorbikes or cars on this side of the river so it is incredible peaceful and relaxing, you are just surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. We couldn’t falter the Wi-Fi in the rooms, to say we were in the jungle it wasn’t much slower than home! We also booked an over night jungle trek and it didn’t disappoint, although the terrain is a lot harder than expected the whole experience is a must and we can’t thank Kayla enough for making it so memorable! The food that was provided both at the home stay and in the jungle was excellent and reasonably priced! We really can’t recommend this place enough, it’s the ultimate jungle get away. We had booked two nights in another hotel but ended up cancelling and coming back to lucky bamboo because we loved it so much!

NetherlandsWe had such an amazing time with you, so that we will definitely return next time we are in Lucky Bamboo. You made us feel like part of your family from the moment that we arrived. The food was so delicious and the Jungle Trek you arranged was fantastic (Ask for Rasta to take you into the Jungle, seriously the most sincere and fun guide out there). We saw so many species and everyone took great care of us. We felt like every wish was read straight of our mind! We are already missing each and every one of you. To a see you soon!!!

NetherlandsSaturday is partytime next door with live music. You will hear this. So just go and join the party, because you won't sleep
The location is great, people are very nice and helpfull. Price-quality ratio is good. Location.... just super! Relaxed, near the jungle. You can be waked up because the monkeys are jumping on your roof or running off with the bag of chips you planned to eat, but that's what you want, right?

GermanyWe had most beautiful stay in lucky bamboo - the wonderful Garden near by the river and right in front of the jungle is awesome and the restaurant offers so much different (also vegetarian) local and fresh cooked food, it‘s amazing. We spent 5 days here and just fell in love with the place and the people! We really recommend booking a jungle tour in lucky bamboo, the guides Kella and Rasta are more than qualified and so sweet and friendly people. Also Johnny, the host is full of hospitality and really wants you to feel like home. It’s a magical place and we really look forward to visit our little jungle-family again! Cheers and thank you for all! Camille and Chris ❤️

Jhonny, Rasta and Kla were so nice and friendly. They were hanging out with us, telling us about the country and the jungle. All in good English.

NetherlandsWe wished we could give more than 10 stars. Jhonny, Kela and the rest of the Lucky Bamboo family are amazing and will take care of everything for you. The rooms are really clean and the cabins make you feel like you have a beautiful treehouse in the jungle. They will also organise the best jungle trek for you, with Kela, among others, as a guide. That is such a special experience and the guides are so great; they make you feel very safe and comfortable in the jungle. Couldn't recommend this place more!
