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.).

AustraliaThe lounge furniture was inadequate and what was provided was not particularly comfortable. The kitchen had many old utensils and numerous odd plates and bowls. There was no lighter or matches for the gas stove. There were many dirty dishes on arrival and no drinking glasses. The bedside lamps did not have the correct electrical plugs and thus could not be used.
The rural setting was very nice and the bedrooms were spacious.

MalaysiaThe house is unfortunately filthy and needs a deep clean. The bedding and towels are worn out. There is no necessities like salt, oil, handsoap or toilet paper. They dump the rubbish onto a pile on the property. The property has massive potential with a bit of extra care.
We loved the privacy and space for the children to run around and explore the outside. We enjoyed the bbq area. It is a peaceful space to enjoy nature.

MalaysiaThe water pump
we didn't realise it was a one and only villa by itself. It was shown as last villa available for Mandara Trees on booking.com, so we were expecting to see more villas in the same compound. At first we were worried about the security as it was a stand-alone villa, and there was no entrance gate, but we found it quite safe there. The layout of the villa is good with 2 bedrooms with 2 attached bathrooms. Shower is good, and bathroom is quite clean, except the water pump is so loud making noises every other minutes made it difficult to sleep in one of the rooms. All the utensils, stove, microwave and water dispenser were there. The best thing to us was the Coway water dispenser, super convenient. We didn't use any cooking facilities as we dined out every meal. ACs worked fine, one fan is not working, and 2 of the head lamps by the bed not working, however, ceiling lights all worked fine. Location is quite good also pretty close to Bukit Tinggi and Pinto Cafe and Pineyard Cafe.

MalaysiaThe kitchen could have had some glasses, and enough cups for the number of guests it accommodates. Also, perhaps a strainer / sieve and a saucepan would be good. Other than that it was great.

MalaysiaThe road leading to the villa could have been wider as it is narrow (1 lane in and out). Though road is tarred and good driving condition. Only worried was security as surrounded by trees and bushes. Sporadic kampong houses as neighbors. Cleaner leaves nearby (neighboring lot). The villa only has 3 buildings. Our unit where we stay. I adjacent smaller bungalow (half of our size) is abandoned and locked up. Nearer to entrance, there is one small building which is the store room (locked) with 1 dilapilated toilet where door broken and left opened. Was quite stingy on mineral water. We have 5 pax and gave us 2x1.5L bottles. Requested for extra 3 for 1 each. Next day cleaner says need to pay RM2 for the extra 3 bottles as requested by Villa owner! Otherwise will deduct from her cleaning wages.
The ambience and surrounding in Kampong setting is refreshing and closed to nature. Quiet and serene. Except that didnt know it was just a small Bungalow unit (2 bedrooms with 2 beds in each room ie 1 king/queen + 1 single bed with 1 living cum dining cum kitchen). Thought it has several units within the villa.

MalaysiaThe maintenance need to be improved asap before more feedback received and ratings go down. Basic stuff: 1. Sink tap broken. 2. Fan had loud cranking sound 3. Airconds were faulty, which was a bummer since its a super hot season 4. The potty was not cleaned properly. There were massive icky stuff under the seat. We had to remove it ourselves (yuck!) 5. Carpets and footmats were dirty 6. The water pump made loud noise whenever someone uses the toilet 7. Bidet head missing
Pretty cozy chalet. Love the ala balinese bathroom setup thats open air. That was our most favourite room! Lol The garden area is so huge that the kids could run around. We even did some family games outside. Location was ideal too since there's so many good eats within 5 mins drive radius. Would be nicer once the pool is ready! 😊

Malaysiatoo close to nature, where a lot of insects flying around. The room and bathrooms are not really clean. Air conditioners in the rooms are not placed in a very feasible location, where room can be very hot at certain corner
owner has put in effort to make this accommodation interesting and rustic. The set up is interesting, with partial open air bathrooms, the rustic look of living and kitchen

Malaysiai would prefer if there's a gate at the front door. as it quite secluded, for a safety purposes. but we are safe as the caretaker respond promptly to everything we asked for. other than that, there are some area in the villa alil bit dusty but its okay and understandable. maybe need to provide some table cloth as well.
The location was kinda secluded from other area. its quite nice for a reunion place as we talk and play and u can be loud as no other house is nearby. the villa is really big. and the bedroom is spacious, they provided 6 towels. it can fit maybe up to 10 ppl but need to bring toto. the shower is rain shower semi outdoor. the kitchen is provided with stove, cups, plates, microwave, oven, coway water, knifes, cutting board, pots, rice cooker, and fridge. the villa also provided with wifi. outdoor there are space for bbq and the lawn is quite big to hang out.
