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...).

United KingdomThe lodges were great and clean We had a long walk to ours but that was fine since we had great views and managed to see so much wildlife from our balcony. Only negative was that we had no way to contact the reception from the lodge and since there was no phone in room. My husband has heart disease and we needed this as precautionary measure. I am happy to say the hotel provided us with a walkie-talkie which reassured us.
We loved the location. It was eco friendly and everything in it was thoughtfully arranged. Food was great and the staff were all lovely.

United KingdomDinner service could be improved as we didn't always get our main meals at the same time.
This hotel is in the middle of the jungle and very close to the main attractions; the Orangutan and the Sun Bear sanctuaries. This is the biggest plus for this hotel as you can easily spend the day at these centers as it is no more than 15 minutes walk. The added bonus was the facilities at the hotel, the food choices in the restaurant and the peace and quiet, the only real noise being that of the jungle.

United KingdomBreakfast a little poor and lack of been able to have tea and coffee in the room and having to purchase from the bar. We would of liked to have had a coffee in the morning before coming to the restaurant or one on the balcony when we wanted.
The location, next to the forest was perfect. Lovely tranquil spot with very pleasant and professional staff.

SpainNo wifi in chalets. A good idea would be for them to have own vehicle to ferry guests to the orang utan and sun bear rehab places.
Excellent buffet breakfast included which really sets a guest up for a day of animal wonder.

Romania-
We were quite skeptical when booking this hotel due to other reviews but man, we’re glad we did. From the beginning, the reception staff was so warm and kind. When checking in they showed us that there is a bat residing at our cottage and kindly asked us not to bother it which was great as in the middle of the jungle you are the guest. Then we headed to the restaurant where you are asked to leave your shoes outside which is giving the area a cozy and familiar vibe. Once in the restaurant, you are on a wooden deck surrounded by jungle, trees with birds & squirrels, frangipani trees and a scenic view and an even better feeling to be in such an amazing place. The food was the best I had in 2 weeks - a base of asian with touches of european, just perfect. The room was what I feared most as accomodations in the jungle is usually filled with bugs. But we had absolutely no problem - maybe a few ants in the bath but that’s it. We had mosquito spray in the room - sprayed the room before dinner just as a prevention and it was perfect. Bedsheets, bathroom, all clean. And the view from the balcony - priceless. Our cottage was not the newest but they are actively working on the construction so the place is just going to get better and better. Also, 800 m from the urangutan and sun bears centers - a lovely 10 minutes walk. We highly reccommend.

United KingdomNothing it was amazing
Stunning location. The staff were fantastic and helpful. The rooms were above what we would have expected for a jungle location. Shower was warm and a treat after a long day. Dinner was great. Bed was comfortable and the air conditioning was absolutely amazing ( just make sure you adjust the setting yourself). Highly recommended.

ChileDark and smelly room (fishy), shower uncomfortable and a weird bathroom design. Plus the breakfast options weren’t that good. Maybe you could add more western options.
A wonderful location with a great landscape design surrounding by tropical rainforest (we even saw an orangutan from the yards!). Friendly staff and quite close to the rehabilitation centers.

United States of AmericaThe food at the restaurant was delicious! But a bit overpriced.
we really enjoyed our stay here! Although you are never guaranteed, we saw many different kinds of animals and plants including two orangoutangs! You really are in the edge of the jungle. The beds and cabin was comfortable. The plunge pool (about 2 feet deep and 25 feet diameter) was a very relaxing place to cool off. The staff were very friendly. One of the guys there was looking for wildlife and would point it out to you-he is the one who spotted the two orangoutangs and came to our cabin to let us know they were close because he knew we really wanted to see them! The breakfast buffet was small but always delicious. This resort was a bit more expensive than we usually pay for a place in Southeast Asia, but it was absolutely worth it!

United KingdomHad an issue when we arrived with cabin hot water but we were moved to another cabin the following morning to resolve. Unfortunately not many other food places were open nearby and most sights outside of the immediate area you will need to drive to get to them.
Great hotel in the heart of the jungle. Also very close to both the sun bear and orangutan sanctuary (within walking distance) which is a big plus. Staff were friendly and attentive always making us feel welcome. Food was good quality given where we were staying. Great priced rooms for the location and nearby sights.

United KingdomIt’s easy to find minor niggles, but considering the big picture - None
The location and friendly staff. Within walking distance of several wildlife centres (bear, orangutan and rain forest). Other trips can be arranged by the staff. It’s not a 5 star city hotel city accommodation, but considering it’s on the edge of a rainforest, it’s dry, clean and relatively bug free. I think the owners have done an excellent job creating this facility. The staff are keen to help and their attitude goes a long way. At times you get very close to nature and wildlife of the forest, that’s a positive.
