Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 Arab EmiratesThere's only one thing I didn't like: the villas in the forest with the pool are located too close, thus compromising your privacy. And that's not good.
A dream place for those who love the forest and nature. Completely integrated with the local ecosystem, perfect in every detail. Excellent service and unique kindness. Delicious food, many international options, adventurous excursions, dream beach. In short, I can say, even as picky as I am, that it is a top place, 10 out of 10.

MalaysiaA breakfast buffet can do away with machine-made lattes and cappuccinos; a barista at this facility would be the cherry on top.
Good selection from the buffet and an à la carte menu with exceptional choices and taste to follow, we as a family couldn't have been happier. It is hard to find places that can match and exceed your personal expectations and it did all that and some more.

FranceThe weather in summer is a bit tough (extremely hot and humid) and very stormy but it’s part of the experience.
Certainly the best breakfast in Malaysia. For cheese lovers (and French people), their Camembert is probably shipped just for them. In general the food is just beyond any expectation. Staff is incredibly nice.

The breakfast is a foodies heaven - the most amazing selection of food and the pastries were straight out of the oven. I loved the complimentary ice cream cones in the afternoon. The room was amazing and had every amenity needed and more. The service was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done so efficiently. Every single person who worked there was so lovely and warm. They all really want you to have a wonderful time - which we did.

KazakhstanI would like to see some variety in the breakfast. There were few Malaysian, Indian and Chinese dishes. In the morning, almost all the hotels we stayed in Malaysia had noodles with broth. But this little thing did not affect our impression of this luxurious hotel.
If heaven on earth exists, then it is the Datai Hotel. Everything in this hotel is aimed at making you relax. Free electric buggy from the lobby to the beach and back. Room with a balcony. On the balcony you can enjoy a glass of wine and listen to the forest. The room is very spacious and cozy. Not just cozy but chic. Robes and flip-flops are a whole separate story. And the bathroom itself with bath accessories, with bath salt and handmade soap. In general, emotions are off the charts. Fruits in the room. Every evening a sweet compliment from the chef. Minibar is included in the price. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The hotel staff does everything so that you do not think about anything but just relax. A huge sandy beach with the cleanest sea water. All the sun loungers on the beach are in the shade of the trees, there is no need to move the umbrella all the time. Also on the beach you can take a kayak and swim to the nearest small island. Also on the beach they periodically give out compliments from the hotel in the form of ice cream and fruit. The food in the Malaysian and Indian cuisine restaurant is very tasty. My wife and I ordered two main courses and a salad and ate too much. You can also have a good dinner in the restaurant in the hotel lobby. This was the first hotel in my life from which I did not want to leave the city in the evening or even leave it at all. The hotel is located right inside the forest. Toucans fly around you and wild monkeys jump on the branches. We took a room with a view of the forest and were not disappointed. From a room with a sea view you also look at the pool. For example, I do not really like looking at the pool. Special thanks to the hotel for the fact that after booking the room they told us that we need to fill out the MDAC form. This form allows you to quickly pass passport control through the SART gate without the participation of a border service employee.

AustriaRooms offer a lot of comfort but management of lights not easy to figure out and always good for surprises. Main/quiet pool too exposed, meaning from all rooms of main building and restaurants you look at the pool - felt always watched somehow. Pool down at the beach or beach the better places to hide away; gym opening hours from 7 am to 8 pm unusually short, used to longer access in the evenings
Fantastic place to enjoy nature, luxury environment, comfort and forget the hectic of life in the city and stress at work, sitting at breakfast with great high quality food overlooking the and listening to the rainforest. Fine dining with Chef Chai Chun Boon’s “Journey through the Far East” an experience in itself

This is a super hotel combining rainforest and beach. There are four excellent restaurants to choose from. The rainforest villas are spacious and well appointed. The exciting noises from the rainforest birds and animals add to the charm. Probably it’s great his strength is the attention to detail. Staff are plentiful and eager to help. I would definitely recommend it.
