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.).

Germanyjust as a notice: the ocean can be very loud at night and the bed is not too comfortable either. You can’t do much on your own so you are mostly dependent on Romeos services.
Tammoyo Place is not just a nice accommodation but also a unique experience. Don’t expect any luxury here but you will get a feeling of freedom and serenity hard to find anywhere else. It’s a long journey to get there but it’s worth to see for a couple of days. Especially the snorkelling experience was one of a kind. Romeo tries everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible for you.

South KoreaOne thing you should know is that the price for the meal is same whether you ask for less dish or not. Just think that as a service charge for preparing the meal for you.
Romeo from Tammoyo is a very kind and friendly person. He took so much care of me which is very thoughtful. I was treated very well. It is such a nice place to take a rest because there is no internet only the sea and you. I spent 3days there reading a book and swimming. The food is super delicious. Better than m ost restaurants in Malaysia. Normally there are 2 main dish, 1 vegetable dish, rice, fruit and juice. Near 20rm. And seafood is also quite cheap here. You should try lobsters. If you ask Romeo what you want to eat he will manage it for you. He will give you a pick-up service from the ferry terminal to the guest house which is 30rm for round trip. Dogs are so nice and clever that they never climb on the table or the chalet. And the sunset is so beautiful.

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay for a week at Tammoyo Place with Romeo and Mesah from the time Romeo picked us up from the jetty to the time he dropped us back. We had a cabin and an open hut. The kids were nervous about sleeping out but they loved it once they tried it. We should have booked 2 open huts. I'm sure there is plenty to do on Pulau Banggi for the more intrepid traveller but we did pretty much nothing except swim, draw, paint, read, and relax. And star gazing. And the complete e-learning for the PADI open water course. The place is absolutely serene. Mesah is a phenomenal cook and we had amazing food everyday; crab, slipper lobster, chicken, prawns, squid, fresh fruits and delicious vegetables. We went for the full board option and were stuffed full every time. We saw wild bearded pigs rooting for crabs on the beach. Phenomenal sunsets every night that lasted about an hour and a half as the sun set of Pulau Balambangan. No WiFi and no phone connection, Romeo let us hotspot for some liasing with our driver on the mainland. It was great to be disconnected from everything. If you need a connection Romeo was on Celcom so get that for a SIM card. No sun loungers or sofas, you have your bed and there are picnic tables. You could bring a hammock. Animals; a few dogs running about the place, they were not interested in being petted so didn't make themselves a nuisance. But they kept the wild pigs away. Apparently there are crocodiles in the deeper water but we didn't see any. Bats at night. Insects; very few mosquitos being right on the water but it is sand underfoot everywhere so expect sand fly bites. Though they weren't as bad as we've had elsewhere and they went down quickly. We did want for anything but for a few soft drinks and when we asked for them Romeo picked them up on the next shopping trip. And a fan which Romeo set up. We were brilliantly well looked after. Tammoyo place is a little slice of heaven.

Czech RepublicThe same Problem with me. One day before arriving the sent me a text message they are still not open. I should ask for a refund. The worstest thing is, Booking.com know about the Problem and they are not going to do anything. I just checked it out, if i would like to stay at this place tomorrow, NO Problem !!!!!!! The next thing is, Booking.com, even i sent them sure already 15 messages, they tell me all the time the same sh..., we can do nothing after i checked out. This is a case for the police and this Is really a SHAME for Booking. Up to now no money refund, but i will get back my money for sure even i have to contact the CEO of Booking and so on. Please never book this place it will save you money.

AustriaWe booked the resort 1month in advance. When we contacted the host about how to get to the island from Kudat he responed 1day later, that he is closed and that we can‘t come. We were lucky, that we didn‘t just go there without contacting the host as it is a 3hour journey from Kudat and no other accomodation near by. When we told the host to give us the refund of our money he said he will but never did. He only answered twice on our messages, all the others he ignored and also our calls were ignored! We had to contact booking.com. After several calls they finally said we are getting the full refund. As we had to find a new accomodation within one day it was quite stressful! hopefully it shows up on booking.com that the place is closed now!

SlovakiaI payed money, I received confirmation of my booking and just one day before check in I received by WhatsApp this: "Hello, I'm very sorry friend. We are still close.. renovations work...." (see attached screenshots) Booking com support is catastrophic since the host doesn't reply to them. So I did nothing wrong. All formal prerequisites and confirmation etc. made, payment included and now what, 90Eur still with the host, booking.com customer service can do nothing and it is me who must chase the host. Is it normal? If you'd like to know more about the story you can approach me by email on surina.marek@gmail.com
Nothing. Host canceled the accommodation with the following (just one day before check-in): "Hello, I'm very sorry friend. We are still close.. renovations work...." SO simply he didn't updated Information on booking.com and he allowed us to book, to pay, to reserve, and formal conflation we also received.

United KingdomThat we had to leave.
This is the perfect place to unwind, relax and escape from the world. You're staying right on the beach with the most epic sunsets you can watch from your bed in a chalet and just fall asleep to the waves. Literally some of the best nights sleep we had in a long time. Romeo the owner was so kind and welcoming, he made us feel safe and provided wonderful service while we were there. The breakfast and dinner were both so good, cheap seafood and some of the best we've had in Asia! (been travelling for 4 years) Prices are really good too for what you get. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone who likes the quiet beach life away from everything.

BelgiumThere is no wifi and almost no reception for mobile internet, we didn't mind at all but keep this in mind when you book this amazing place.
This place is amazing! The owners do everything to make you feel at home, nothing is to much. The owner organized a snorkeling trip, he showed us the most beautiful spots. We saw turtles and the coral was so beautiful. The food was delicious, I recommend it to vegetarians.👌 The owners did so much for us, we just can not explain how much! We became totally zen and enjoyed being away from al the stress. Thank you for this amazing experience!!!

CanadaIts perfect now. Visit before everyone else finds out about it.
I never make time for reviews but this place deserves it. I booked 1 night, stayed 3, wish I could live there...Amazing location, beautiful quiet beach (and ok with beach campfires), massive portions of delicious homemade food at super reasonable price (easily accommodated vegetarian but would love to serve you fresh seafood), comfy and safe place (solo female traveller here and felt 100% comfortable at all times), many activities depending on your wishes. One of the best snorkelling locations I've ever seen (Belize has nothing compared to Banggi island!!). Best of all, I felt treated as a guest/friend rather than a source of cash. Host Romeo really went out of his way to make me happy. Cannot say enough good things....just go for yourself and you will be amazed

NetherlandsI accidentally booked it, didn't see it was on another island than Borneo which is 1,5 ferry away and 1,5 drive on the island itself. The place is very distant, not much to do. But if you're looking for that it's perfect!
It's a very peaceful place, with a beautiful beach and nice places to chill. The owner Romeo is very kind and will help you with everything. His wife is an amazing cook.
