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.).

ThailandStaff didn't come to clean shared bathroom unless requested. For private bathrooms, we don't need them cleaned daily, but we feel when guests are sharing a bathroom, the cleaning should be regular, and not upon request.
Great location right near Rainforest Discovery Centre, and friendly staff. Food from the restaurant was okay.

Just returned from an exceptional stay at Sepilok B&B in Borneo, Malaysia - a great place for any adventurous traveler! The staff is incredibly friendly, making us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped in. The breakfast fueled us up each morning for the day's explorations. The location is unparalleled - a stone's throw from the orangutan sanctuary and discovery center, perfect for those early morning walks. As for the room, it was clean and spacious, with both AC and hot water - just the kind of comfort you need after a day of adventure in Borneo. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a comfortable, affordable and convenient base for their Borneo adventure. Thank you, Sepilok B&B, for a truly enriching experience!

United KingdomBreakfast was a bit disappointing with little choice (fried rice, noodles, or soggy french toast - get there quick before it runs out). The accommodation was fully booked and staff were struggling with numbers. Service was spotty, but always with a friendly smile. There's a good restaurant (Rainforest Resort) with more choice around the corner, 5 mins walk away. You can also use the pool at Rainforest Resort for MYR25pp if you need to cool off.
Loved the balcony from the huge family bedroom. Location is close to RDC, but a bit of a walk (and no footpath along road) to the sanctuaries. But Grab taxi makes it super easy and cheap to get around. AC worked brilliantly. Some beds were comfy, the double bed rock hard. I felt like Goldilocks trying to find the right one - my kids weren't as fussed.

Hong KongCurtains in the bedrooms didn’t cover the top windows - so kids woke up with the sun at 530am. Breakfast options were a bit limited - but the food available was good. For the tea and coffee drinkers, like many places in Sabah, creamer rather than milk is the only option.
Location was perfect for walking to the orangutan, sun bear and rainforest treetop walk. The accommodation was simple but spacious and the staff were friendly and helpful.

RussiaThe attitude of the reception girl was really disappointing, she seemed so uninterested (probably because was more interested in a movie/show she was watching when we arrived) and indifferent. The breakfast is a complete disappointment as well. For the first time we faced the situation that there was literally nothing to eat when we arrived at 08:40 am. When we asked the reception girl how this was possible, she in her usual indifferent manner replied that the kitchen is working on and it will take up to 20 (!) min to get ready… it was a buffet and not even the end of breakfast, so all seemed weird. We had stayed in jungle resort before for the same price and the experience was way much better, starting from staff attitude, finishing accommodation comfort
Good location - only 7 min from RCD where you can go for a night walk in the jungles. The transfer from one resort to another cost affordable price 10 ringgit and the driver was a very friendly and good guy
