Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

MalaysiaI'm in love with how secluded the location is. It's far from the noise and crowded but still accessible to shops and restaurants. The beach is clean & clear. Definitely will stay here again.

PolandYou have to watch out for sand flies, unfortunately they cannot be completely avoided, even by applying coconut oil.
Wonderful location right on the beach, beautiful sunrise and clear water. The rooms are simple, clean, and have basic equipment (fridge, kettle, air conditioning). The food in the restaurant is very good and the staffs are helpful and organize additional attractions. I definitely recommend it!

AustraliaWish there were screens on the windows so we could have the windows open rather than using the aircon. Also much of the coral is semi-bleached or completely bleached (this is not the property’s fault but it is good to know ahead of time if you are snorkelling or diving). You can still see a lot of fish, I also saw sharks, stingrays and a turtle.
We had such a wonderful stay at Bushman! The cabin is right on a quiet, beautiful beach, with hammocks under the palm trees, perfect for relaxing. Staff were helpful and the food is good at the restaurant. Highly recommended!

GermanyEverything perfect!
Exceptional views at the best location. Delicious food and outstanding service, staff was really friendly and helpful. We stayed for 9 nights and really didnt want to leave, it was one of our most relaxing holidays ever. You should also take their offer of going on a Coral Island trip together, highly recommended if you like snorkeling! We already miss it and will definitely come back in the future.

Bushman is a gem of a place on the beautiful island. The chalets are right on a large, pretty beach with a lagoon on the side and a stunning jungle backdrop all around. We particularly enjoyed their breakfasts (fruit poridge, pancakes, roti canai with eggs), as well as the red snapper withe mee goreng for lunch. The staff are super kind and friendly and will make sure all your wishes are met. The jungle trip in the back of a pick up to the Juara side and Bushman is an adventure in itself and added another layer to the uniqueness of the place. We also loved walking through the jungle to the village or to the "Turtle project beach" and seeing huge monitor lizards swimming in the river, flying foxes bats hanging upside down on the trees and locals on scooters.

United KingdomNothing....all exceptional!
Everything. The location was brilliant on the east coast so nice and quiet. The chalet was perfect for 4 people and stunning location on the beach. The food area was great on the beach and the staff were all lovely. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner and really enjoyed the food. The staff arranged our transfers from the ferry and also the boat trip to coral island which was amazing. Swimming in the sea right in front of our chalet was gorgeoys and we could snorkel on the reef right on our beach too. Love love love Bushman Tioman!

United KingdomThe bungalows are dated. Only a sheet on the bed. Everything needs to be updated if the bushman wants to retain its reputation.. pink bathroom 1980s!! It’s all too old.
Location location location… they pick you up from jetty for a price but it’s cheaper than a taxi. Staff esp the man who is always cleaning the place is lovely welcoming and helpful.

SingaporeThe cabin is basic but clean and comfortable. Really appreciate the air conditioning - especially when the afternoons are scorching hot. Our bathroom had hot water which again is a big plus. Meals at the in-house restaurant were 10/10! Best of all, we had the whole beach to ourselves and it was incredible :) Thanks for a memorable stay!

FranceThis has nothing to do with where we stayed but be careful of the sandflies. They bite!!
A perfect 3 days, just wish it had been longer! Bushman huts are basic and simple but have everything you need including a private shower and toilet room (with welcome toothbrush and shampoo, soap etc), fridge, aircon and fan and a balcony which looks directly onto the sandy beach and ocean. The hut is clean and comfortable and the view is stunning. The staff welcoming and friendly and the restaurant serves good food. You may bring your own alcohol to drink as they don't serve it, but that's only to be expected as it is a Muslim community. Bushman himself collected us from the boat and we chose to sit in the back to enjoy the drive across the island through the beautiful jungle. We will be back!

Finland- The restaurant by the hotel is sometimes open and sometimes not. The lunch was only burgers. - The reception seemed to be open only when the restaurant was open.
- The staff was nice & helpful, it was so easy and flexible to pay for all the food at the end of the stay. They also offer a car ride from Tekek to Bushman for 25 ringgits. - Cabins were nice & by the beach. Cosy bed & great Aircon. - Big plus for the hammocks & sunbeds at the beach - Loads of veggie options in the restaurant
