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.).

Netherlands- There are no lockers in the room, but personally I thought it didn’t feel unsafe to leave your stuff there. Also the owner will gladly help you store your valuables at a safe space! - Only bottom beds have curtains.
- Owner was very nice and helpful. Also really recommend booking your tours via him since I had a really great time (especially during the night walk). - Easy to meet other people because of the cozy porch which makes it feel like home. - Very close to the entrance of the park (you can even see it from the window in the dorms). - Dorms were clean and comfortable and had airconditioning. - Enough showers and toilets that were also clean. - Free water, coffee and tea. - Good wifi. - Very good price for what you get!

FranceI had an amazing stay at wild lodge. Jason is an amazing host and the place is clean and comfortable with the best view in town. Jason also organize tours and try to keep the group small which is really good compare to other company and Farid and Imran, the two guides, are really knowledgeable about the jungle and really fun !

ItalyBad smell in the corridor despite all the air fresheners... But I guess you can't avoid it when people come back from hikes really smelly.
Lovely view of the river, best location, shared the room with only 3 more people, air conditioning, hot shower. The terrace is really nice to socialize, and the manager was super helpful to plan activities. Met some nice people but I also had great sleep. Really great value for money. I'd say it's the best place to stay for a solo traveler in Taman Negara.

SwedenJason was a welcoming and down to earth host, super knowledgeable about the park and area. He runs everything himself, can organise trips and is very chatty and flexible. Considering the cheap price the hostel is very clean and comfortable, although is not anything fancy. The location is perfect - right next to the boat crossing to the park. Great place to stay for anyone wanting to spend time in the rainforest.
