How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBeautiful location and within walking distance to the national park! Birds, monkeys and bats seen from our room.
The food was good and staff were friendly but the restaurant was dated and had no atmosphere. The room wasn’t super clean and the bathroom needs a makeover.

Verified reviewLovely to sit outside for breakfast and watch the wildlife, especially the hornbills. Two minutes drive from the national park. The hotel prepared a lovely packed breakfast and lunch for our safari day.
The garden view was not scenic, so we kept the curtains closed

Verified reviewA fantastic location and amazing staff that will do all they can for you to have the best stay possible. On our first night, we were taken out for a walk to the lake from one of the members of staff and we saw elephants, lots of birds and crocodiles. What a start. From the balcony of our treehouse, we got to see elephants walking across the field and a range of birds flying about. The whole time we were there, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. We booked a full day safari through the hotel and the experience was amazing. A lovely breakfast and lunch for the trip were provided along with refreshments for the day. The staff could not do enough for you. The treehouse itself was lovely. A unique place to stay in a spectacular setting. Highly recommended.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect as Willpatu NP is next door. A great chance to see local life, as you can walk around the village/ lake. Place was nice and clean but we found it a bit pricy for what it is.
Property was fine, we coudnt use the common area in our tree house as it was dirty and furniture were damaged. This could be improved.

Verified reviewWe loved our treehouse accomodation. Watching the wildlife in the tops of the treees was fabulous! We saw baby and large squirrels and many many birds from the balcony!! . A simple swing by the creek was perfect for kids to play and chill. Food was great! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful!! We did full day Safari and our treehouse was right next to the National park entrance. Couldn’t get closer!!! The offered laundry which was much needed after Safari. I went on a solo bike ride village tour with Shinran (one of the young staff members) as well as a nature walk. We stayed 3 nights!! Was enough time here! AC was great!! - we did one day Safari and one day visiting some local swimming spots! Would recommend for couples or families.
Everything was amazing. If I was going to give any feedback. The fluresent lighting in the restaurant could be made a bit less Intense. Some more subtle lighting would make it perfect!!
