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.).

AustriaThe bathroom is dark and dirty. The daily cleaning was made, but the walls were extreme dirty (little gecco poops were everywhere on the wall). We had a small frog in our shower during our 3 nights stay and we could see on wall where this frog came down and climbing up in the corner because of its dirty footprints. I am expecting more from a five star hotel or for the price we paid.
The hotel is in the middle of a forest, I would only recommend for travellers with transportation. We had a driver as we were aware of the location. The common areas (lobby, restaurant, swimmingpool) are really nice, however the rooms specially the bathrooms need a renovation. Our room was nice and big. The food (we had breakfast and dinner as well) was tasty and the staff was also kind. The swimmingpool is also warm which was very nice after a hot day.

Netherlandsits very isolated unless you have transport, there is not a lot else around and the road leading to the hotel is well worn and probably not suitable if you have any mobility issues although tuk tuks are available and can be arranged by reception.
staff were excellent and very helpful and friendly, very willing to help with organising sightseeing trips. breakfast choice was very good and cooked well ,as was the evening buffet . Very quiet hotel , swimming pool was very good if not a little cold compared to some but i think that is because it is well shaded by the forest trees . rooms were very large and clean and the aircon worked well.

Italyif they could do something about the mold in the room the rating would become 10.
The place is really beautiful, in a very convenient location to visit all the nearby attractions. The place have a lovely swimming pool where you can relax. I loved waking up in the morning with the monkeys in front of our room jumping everywhere. The thing i most liked was the breakfast, lunch and dinner! In this place you will eat very well! Good alcoolics drinks.

SingaporeIt’s a long way from the main road and very bumpy way. The rooms can be cleanser. My luggage wheel was damaged from handling by staff collecting from our rooms when we checked out.
The rooms are big and it’s is a real forest hotel. The restaurant is so good and we satisfied with our food though it took quite long as we didn’t eat buffet and ordered from ale carte menu. So if you want to order food, order first and look around the hotel or go spa.

United KingdomThe al carte menu was very good but we found there were long waits between the first person's meal being served and the last person's. We preferred the buffet.
We really enjoyed the quiet, forest location away from the main road. The swimming pool was a lovely area to relax after a day sightseeing and our family room had plenty of space for the four of us. It's a bit of a drive out any local restaurants from the resort so we ate dinner at the hotel each night. The buffet was lovely with a good choice of Sri Lankan and western dishes. We thought all the food was good value for money. Maduranga in the restaurant looked after us very well. The manager and staff were all very friendly and keen to help.

NetherlandsThey could improve a bit the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Not that it is a major issue, but they could get better at it.
The swimming area is amazing. I struggle to find proper swimming pools where I can exercise. This place has the best pool if ever seen in a hotel. Upali, the owner, is amazing! Do not hesitate to sit down and have a chat with him. The food is very good quality. And the hotel itself is a little peaceful oasis.
