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 KingdomCan't fault the place
The room was excellent very spacious water supplied. Cold scented towels and refreshing beverages. Staff was amazing we stayed in the ocean wing but even in the garden wing they was helpful whenever we went over there. Massive bath on the balcony had bubble baths. Was there for as part of my Honeymoon with my wife. Had a Gazibo dinner outside on the sand which was so romantic also

United KingdomThe food and drinks are expensive. We also assumed we could walk around the reserve but we needed to pay for a guide each time. Also, there are no orangutans in the reserve anymore, they finished the program in 2016.
Clean and comfortable resort, got a free upgrade to a sea view room which was nice. Buffet breakfast was good with wide selection. Laslie the guide had lots of good stories and pointed out some cool wildlife.

LuxembourgIn general, we found the consumptions in the hotel a bit expensive for what you get in return. Sometimes it took quite a while to get drinks at the bar or pool area as they seemed sometimes understaffed.
We stayed in Ocean Wing and the room was very spacious. In overall the food in restaurants à la carte and buffet is good. They have a really great Spa at the hotel, which is definitely worth it. The pool area at ocean wing is very nice, as well as the beach. We did the sunset morning hike which was totally worth it.

Truly wonderful staff. So kind and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely room with aircon that worked perfectly all the time. Best sunsets ever! Great golf course. And golf staff too. Fab swimming. Good gym Book Ocean Wing if possible for peace and quiet. Good team all round and first class senior concierge in Ocean wing. Oceano breakfast hard to beat. Great value.

United StatesThe grounds were disappointing due lack of rain. The grass was very dry and burnt and not the usual lush green we had come to expect and love.
We have stayed many times at the Rasa Ria and love it. It’s a great location if you want away from the city. Facilities are good although it was exceptionally busy being school holidays and with local offers available it seemed to be much busier than usual for this time of the year.

United KingdomOne fault is that there is no walkway/stone path to the beach and walking all that way in hot sand was pretty difficult. Shangri La should really think about making it easier.
The staff were fantastic. Very helpful, polite and always ready to help! Loved the beach, it’s so quiet we would sometimes have it to ourselves! I didn’t have time for any of the activities as I wanted to prioritise relaxation but there was a wide range that looked great. The buffets were delicious. The distance from Kota Kinabalu is quite far (45 min-1 hour drive) so if you book this place, book with that in mind. However they do offer a shuttle service 3 times a day so that’s great.
