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 KingdomWe enjoyed every bit of it, but if you expect 5 star luxury you might need to reconsider. This is more rustic luxury.
The swimming pool and the lily pond were amazing! Fascinating architecture and history of the buildings. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. Location was very central and you couldn't hear the planes at night. It's an oasis in the suburbs of the main town!

AustraliaThe resort is situated in a developing area, with construction all around. You need to get a ride everywhere or do a 40-minute walk to the town. This is all fine except that the description did not say this, in fact it stated beach access which is almost 1h walk. The restaurant was not open for dinner, which was inconvenient as there were no other options in the area. It opened a 1pm and last order by 4.30 pm. The website states full dinner service which we found not accurate. The food was delicious and it is a shame that they don't have it open. We saw several guests being sent away, including ourselves, during our 5 day stay, because they did not want to have the restaurant open. They definitely miss out on a lot of business this way.
Beautiful site, pond and pool. Very tranquil and beautiful. Food was excellent and authentically local.

United KingdomThe breakfast wasn’t great, cheap buffet style food. Not many healthy options available. The food available at the restaurant also very basic. Check in felt very rushed, I was given a drink and a towel but before I could finish with either of them I was asked to produce my passport and ushered to my room whilst juggling both of these items. This could have been way more relaxed. There was lots of loud bangs coming from around the property at night, and planes flying overhead which woke us up. We also had to put a towel over one of the glass windows in our room because an external security light was shining in through the window. They ask for a security deposit in cash when you arrive, which just feels strange and outdated. It’s no big issue as 100ringgit isn’t a lot, tbh I’m not sure what it would even cover in terms of damages. However it’s annoying when you go to leave Malaysia and you’ve then got 100 ringgit in cash being given back to you that you would have liked to have spent but now have no use for. They have my credit details from booking.com so I’m not sure if it felt needed. The toiletries provided in bottles in the shower contained essentially just watered down soap… which wasn’t refilled at all during our stay. Investing in some actual body wash to put in these and checking them regularly would be nice.
The swimming pool is lovely. Really unique and surrounded by wildlife, birds and we even saw otters! The lobby aesthetic is so pretty! Staff were friendly enough, and the rooms were clean. We rented a moped which was useful because you’re not super close to the beach here. But grab was also easily available. The rooms are very unique and pretty with the wooden style buildings. We felt very safe here leaving our possessions etc. We overall had a good stay, and loved Langkawi so much!

ChinaBecause of the wooden structure, the villa doesn’t have much soundproof. If you are a very light sleeper, be cautious about this. During weekdays, breakfast is served in a buffet style, which is not as good as its weekend set menu. There is not much high protein food options in the buffet.
The resort is actually quite small but full of natural landscape decoration. All the small villas in the resort are in similar traditional wooden style, which provide an authentic sense of local accommodation. The staff are quite nice and customer-oriented. The breakfast at weekends is exceptionally great with authentic Malaysian taste and fresh fruit. Also, the cat Kenny is friendly to every guest.

United KingdomIf we had to pick a negative we did struggle to read in our room as they aren’t very well lit! But we are over 60 so might be just an age thing! I also panicked when the birds were walking on the ratan ceiling until I worked out they couldn’t get into the room!
We loved the magical pool set amongst water lilies, the wonderful buildings, the staff and the whole set up. To spend a day relaxing by the pool side and watch the kingfisher was truly lovely. There are many places to sit around the site, colourful cushions and the cafe food was lovely. The staff were gentle and caring. We were so lucky as we had the place almost to ourselves! Mosquito spray was left for use in the room and we had no bites. Ear buds might be good as call to prayer was early and often (as is normal in Malaysia)

United StatesThe location was a bit far from the beaches but they can just call you a taxi and it is not expensive.
These are really beautiful villas, and the swimming pool area is just like from some kind of fairy tale with the lotuses surrounding it. But for us what made it really special was the staff, especially Buddy. They were super helpful, kind and made our stay really pleasant.

We loved the place! Absolutely stunning. Rustic, Perak heritage houses turned into spacious villas, beautifully and thoughtfully designed and curated, surrounded by lush green vegetation and wooded area with coconut trees and mangrove wetland. Waking up to the sounds of nature was one of the highlights, and the good breakfast. Staff were attentive, friendly, and informative especially Rais and Aiman.
