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 KingdomNot for the faint hearted 😁 My wife and daughter saw snake, Komodo dragons, lots of insects and bugs. I was ok but they were not very keen on the reptile/insects experience and seeing holes on the net in the bed.
Loved everything about the hotel, staff and the whole experience.

Saudi ArabiaHaving no ac in the rooms is part of the concept of the place but in our stay in April it was pretty hot, there could be other green solutions to cool the room other than just a ceiling fan.
Location is accessible, near ella and the coast which is good, sets in a very beautiful land of rice fields with breathtaking views, we had a very beautiful nature and agriculture immersed experience, the restaurant is really good and the pool is amazing with an amazing view over the rice fields.

United KingdomThe vast array of evening bugs were less to our kids liking - especially if you get a room with an open roofed bathroom!
This hotel is in a beautiful rural location off the beaten track and on the edge of the paddie fields. We loved the rooms which were very eco in style but it's worth noting you sleep under mosquito nets with ceiling fans - there is no A/C - we found this fine but our teenage kids were less keen! The setting is just wonderful and the pool fantastic. We ate at the hotel and really enjoyed the food - they had a mix of Sri Lankan and South Asian cuisine. Service was excellent. Each hut comes with mountain bikes - we enjoyed a quick cycle round the local area. We only had one night but wish we had more.

NetherlandsWe stayed in a room at the rice paddies and the entrance door could not be properly locked which did not feel safe. Even if you locked it one could easily open it from outside. The same with the door to the outdoor bathroom. One needs to be aware that in the afternoon there are tiny flies around the pool area which are biting and it makes it very unpleasant to lay there.
If you like to disconnect from stress and hectic this is the right place as the hotel is located in the rice paddies and very peaceful. The food in the restaurant was excellent.

GermanyI had the most incredible experience at this beautiful resort. First of all, the location was absolutely stunning. Situated amidst the lush greenery of the jungle, the resort offered breathtaking views and serene surroundings. The bungalows were beautifully designed and blended perfectly with the natural environment. But what truly made our stay exceptional was the amazing staff, especially our butler Thiloke. He went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of and had everything we needed. His attentiveness and warm hospitality made us feel truly pampered. The resort also boasted an exceptional restaurant with a wide variety of delicious food and drinks. We were impressed with the quality and taste of the dishes, and the drinks were equally delightful. The whole dining experience was a treat for our taste buds. One of the things that stood out to me the most was the resort's commitment to giving back to the local community. They donate a significant portion of their earnings to the local communities, and three years ago, they even funded the construction of a church. This level of social responsibility was truly admirable and made our stay even more meaningful. Overall, I cannot recommend this resort enough. From the stunning location and beautiful bungalows to the exceptional staff and philanthropic initiatives, it exceeded all our expectations. If you're looking for a place that combines natural beauty, luxury, and a genuine sense of community, this resort is the perfect choice.

United KingdomThey are very bad of communicating with booking.com. We needed to change few dates. More than one month they could not sort out after many attempts. Manager at the hotel just wanted the money for the days we didn’t stay. Had to call booking.com many time for this. We had to prove to them that there was no communication to booking.com from there side by getting a email sent from booking.com. Finally on the day of checking in they had no choice but not to charge us. They also made mistake by charging for something twice at check out. When we asked where that bill came from they took out the bill but no apologies for the mistake from the manager who was there. Found the experience unacceptable from this hotel.
Beautiful location and very tranquil! Food was great and authentic. Restaurant staff were lovely and helpful. Pool is a good size. Cycling was a great option to have.
