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.).

- the hotel itself is just incredible. I took the best suite at the top and it was a once in a lifetime experience, and that is what you are paying for. - staff are incredibly helpful; always at hand to assist; use instant messaging through whatsapp; never have to worry about climbing the steep steps as a driver is always ready to assist within minutes! - staff assisted with my request to putting the blinds down in the evenings and back up in the mornings, this reduced the monkey noises at night for no interruptions to sleep. - whilst fasting, staff helped to organise my morning meals with a full selection of choices which was much appreciated. - the spa ritual was so peaceful and really helped relax the entire body.

United KingdomMore loungers by the pool would be good.
The location is wonderful, right in the forest but also a short walk from the beach. We saw so many animals from our balcony or other parts of the hotel (including dusky leaf monkeys and giant squirrels). The food was excellent, both the vegan breakfasts at the Rainforest Retreat and at the Pool Villas restaurant). The staff were helpful and on hand to give lifts up the hill or to the other property as needed.

A tranquil piece of heaven tucked away in nature. The property is quiet and peaceful. It is easily accessible by Grab and is conveniently located close to a number of restaurants and bars. The staff are all extremely kind and welcoming and make you feel right at home. The in-house restaurants serve great food with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Overall, a wonderful experience.

SwitzerlandDear Ampong team, the resort is run with a lot of love and great hospitality. The food in both restaurants is fabulous. Especially the Rimba restaurant with its fantastic terrace for dinner is to be emphasized. The pool and the forest invite you to relax and the monkeys make you smile. We would especially like to thank Raj for his warm support in all matters, such as the valuable tips for the island and all the trips through the very steep resort. We could always rely on him. A big compliment to the whole team. We can warmly recommend the resort (for people who are good on foot and are looking for something special) Thank you very much for everything🥰

A glorious leafy sanctuary away from the crowds. Every meal was delicious, no complaints at all from my meal eating husband. Staff could not have been better, no request was too much of a problem. Loved the friendly monkeys that travelled through the trees with their babies.

Malaysiathe road leading to the guess house too stiff , very tough for elderly people like us to climb / walk from the carpark near reception building the room picture shown in booking .com very misleading, they shown the reception building picture as guess room (open concept timber house building) so we though that is our guess house but the guess house is concrete house, the swimming pool very small 3 level guess house with stiff staircase very tough to climb from one room to another for elderly ppl like us ( one room at upper ground another room at lower ground ) we leave our luggage at living entrance coz unable to carry the luggage to our room we will stay at Ambong villa for our next visit coz that is single storey building with private pool which is more suitable for elderly ppl like us
the unit is big and complete with kitchen utensil, all corners very clean. all the staffs very friendly and helpful (assist us to send our luggage to the guess house) the hot water system at one of the bathroom does not work, the maintenance staff response & rectified it immediately the al carte breakfast very good & nice the natural jungle with sunset scenery very nice, we love it very much

RussiaThe wear and tear of things is noticeable, but it doesn’t really affect the quality of rest. The house on the hill means regular ascents of 5-10 minutes (but you can order a transfer)
Small, but with all the necessary things for a comfortable life. Beautiful view from the room - you can see a piece of the sea. Monkeys are jumping on the roofs) - romance. A house on a hill is a good idea for cardio)

The room and location was relaxing and beautiful. The staff were very attentive and friendly, a very personalised service. The pool is beautiful, the two restaurants were lovely. Catch sunset at the Rimbo restaurant above the pool villas, it is unforgettable. Breakfast options were lovely.

United KingdomThe pool is small, but the intimacy of the area is lovely. Possibly a couple more loungers would be a good thing because not always possible to get one, - but perhaps not so much a problem because it's the lack of people here that makes it special. Honestly, one of the nicest environments I've ever stayed in.
The breakfast was fantastic, and the location absolutely stunning. We were quietly observing the wonderful rainforest, and all the beautiful creatures living in it. Authentic and tranquil.
