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 shower was extremely weak it was easier to put the tap on and go underneath that, the pressure needs to be looked into but it was hot. The menu was limited for vegan & vegetarian. Wasn’t given prior warning that they are renovating by adding new rooms and a pool which can be seen from main restaurant/bar. We didn’t mind it but it may put others off, better to have advised before we got there.
Great proximity to the orangutans, sun bears & RDC. Lovely natural setting, rooms much more spacious and luxurious than expected, I thought it would be more basic for being more remote in Sepilok. Pretty good value beers around £2.80. Saw monitor lizard & kingfisher in the water. Very peaceful.

United KingdomThere was building work happening during our stay, which did interrupt the peaceful nature of the setting, however, completely understandable that these types of work have to be undertaken to maintain and improve the lodge - so didn’t really bother us. And the pool they’re building will be a bonus for future guests!
The hotel is perfectly situated for visits to the orang-utan and sun bear rehabilitation centres. The staff were very friendly and helpful in booking taxis/tours etc; and we really enjoyed the ambience of the lodge.

MalaysiaMinor grievances like phones not working and creaky floors. Also there is some construction on the grounds for expansion, but there is minimal inconvenience experienced. Should be completed by Mid 2024.
Beautiful chalet . Feels rustic and luxurious at the same time. Good choice of western and Asian food. Perfect location right next to the Orangutang and Sunbear Sanctuaries.
