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 KingdomAll good cannot complain about anything
Beautiful quiet place in the village. Loved the bungalows very clean and comfortable. The surrounding is lovely and peaceful except the daily prayer which is loud but ear plugs were provided. Breakfast included was really nice. A good sized pool. Sam the owner was always around and very caring and helpful . You do need transport to get around but bike rentals was excellent. Will definitely stay here again.

A quiet place surrounding by natures away from busy place like chenang. However, it's still reachable by car and the country side makes the stay more private than other typical holiday resorts. The bed was large and comfy and the breakfast was delicious. The owner and staff were very helpful, friendly and wonderful. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

MalaysiaNot walking distance to a beach, certain nights you can hear loud music from the nearby fishing village (known issue I guess, you are provided with earplugs).
Friendly host, clean rooms, decent breakfast and quiet privacy place(only 10 units). Amid the mangrove forests, you can do fishing or canoeing or catch crabs on the premise itself for free. For food there are some cheap and good food nearby.

United KingdomThe only negative is that it is a little out the way, which is why it is so peaceful. But there is scooter rental five minutes walk away or a Grab taxi to the Skywalk or airport is only MR10.
Stunning little chalet, clean and beautifully presented. Extremely comfortable bed. Tea and coffee making facilities. The resort grounds are stunning too and so peaceful and relaxing. Lovely owner too. Highly recommended if you want to relax and unwind.

ItalyLoved everything about our stay. Beautiful bungalow: new, clean and comfy with lots of well thought details. We were amazed by the peaceful location and enjoyed relaxing in the verandah overlooking the mangroves and the fairy lights gracefully decorating the wooden footpaths. Good choice of breakfast which you can conveniently select at a time of your choice the day before. Run by an incredibly friendly family (big hello to the "uncle" who runs the place and is always followed by his cute chubby cat). We wish we could have stayed longer...will definitely spend at least 2 nights when we're back in Langkawi!

United KingdomMy only small gripe would be the use of single use plastic water bottles, plastic toothbrush/comb and tea and coffee provided in the room. I thought as an Eco resort maybe bamboo/wooden alternatives and a larger water bottle filled there would have been more in keeping. Perhaps the tea and coffee could be a couple of days worth in jars, then refilled by the resort instead of the single use offerings. I would be happy to pay a bit more to accommodate this, but otherwise I would still recommend Api Api Eco resort to anyone.
Off the beaten track, but still close enough I enjoyed my brief stay at Api Api Eco resort. Lovely peaceful setting (apart from the occasional call to prayer from the neighbouring mosque) I had a view of the pond at the front and mangrove at the back. Saw plenty of hornbills and a few otters as well. My accommodation was clean and comfortable. All staff were friendly and helpful, even giving me a lift to the best local beach. French toast I had for breakfast was delicious. A delightful haven, close but away from the main area.

Romaniaif it rains it can be challenging for Grab cars to pick you up but the owners made themselves available if this was ever an issue
The facility is very new and is very comfortable to stay in but the staff is the friendliest I have ever met. The owner and his daughter Ju went above and beyond to make sure I have a comfortable stay, from the moment I arrived at the airport until I left, they knew I was a solo traveller and were regularly checking in on me to make sure I’m back safe and picked me up if needed. That’s beyond what you’d expect from your regular booking but it is proof to say they are very kind.

United StatesCannot rave about this place enough! Everything was absolutely amazing. I wish I could've stayed longer. The cabins are quite private and open up right into the mangrove forest. Surprisingly, mosquitoes were not a huge problem (usually I get bitten a ton, but not here). I asked to move to a room closer to the entrance and the staff were very accommodating, even helped me move my belongings. The only downside is my own fault for not reading carefully enough - no internet in the cabins.

No smells, just Asian Short clawed Otters near by, fly flies lighting the trees at night and much more Great infinity pool, over looking a large pond, with Hornbills feeding on the island, Breakfast good and filling and varied choice.
