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):
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.
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.).

Hong KongThe facilities were a bit old and the bathroom could be cleaner such as the shower curtain.
The location was great if you want to visit the Stone Forest and the JuXiang Caves in a compact schedule. The breakfast was spicy ersi noodle soup or local dumpling soup, it was very tasty. The owner was very helpful and nice. She even gave us extra blankets without us asking in case we were cold. Very thoughtful ! The heater was powerful and we were warm quickly in the room. It was super quiet at night and we woke up with roosters in the morning.

IcelandThis is a simple homestay, yet I cannot think of anything else I would like to add in our bedrooms. The place was clean and everything worked as it should (from the shower to the kettle), and this believe me is not always the case in Chinese hotels. We travelled four together, parents and two teenagers. We all love the cuteness of the place and the friendliness of our host (who can speak just enough English to communicate efficiently - and this is a rare find). Our host was happy to serve a nice Chinese breakfast with different steamed breads, tea and fruits. The street is quiet, however offers a few restaurants and shops, all you need for an easy and relaxing stay. It is about 15min away with taxi from the ticket office of the Stone Forrest - this UNESCO site is a wonder of nature and I would recommend to dedicate a full day for exploring the different areas (and get away from the crowd !)

LaosThe restaurant I chose to eat sheep meat was not delicious at all. I've eaten much tastier sheep in Shangdong province.
So surprised to get picked up at Stone Forest by the host to the Guesthouse. That was such a warm welcome. Host washed my clothes immediately and looked online to help me book for Dali the following day. Everything was taken care of. The kindest host ever who really tried to make everything work. Breakfast was a delicious traditional chinese breakfast with fresh steamed buns. After breakfast my driver was waiting to drive me to the station. Couldn't have been any more comfortable than this. If you're planning the afternoon at the Stone Forest than this is the best choice.

The staff was amazing, very helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to help get my necklace back, which was entirely my fault for having it left behind. They found it at the physical therapist where I took it off, expedite it via airmail to Shanghai where it was returned to me. Thank you all wonderful people for care and assistance. I took the train from Kunming and then a taxi, but could as well taken the Bus #99 . Transport was fast, easy, clean and for a fraction of the cost in my area. Thank you for pointing out the cave visit. and the way to the stone forrest. I specially enjoyed the guest friendship of the aunties in the village, showing me the dance and letting me dance with them around the fireplace. So many things reminded me of Greece so many years ago, the landscape the red earth, the temperature, the hard working people, the hospitality. It was and experience to see when dancing the temperament and then when the audience was listening the more calm demeanor , like in my German village. Thank you again.

MalaysiaJust bare necessity. Hardly any tissue paper in the room!
Very convenient location but a simple, quite run down homestay. If u want convenience of movement, its a go, for comfort, a no no. From Kunming hi speed rail station, take subway to East Car station ( 东车场), walk out main door and turn right, there is the bus taking us to Shilin homestay. The lady worker is super helpful with out movement to go Shilin n airport.

United StatesThe host is a wonderful person who really made my trip exceptional! She went out of her way to arrange for a taxi to p;ick me up from the airport for a late night arrival, and even helped arrange a taxi for my next leg of the journey at another airport and hotel in China. She was so friendly and accommodating the whole time. Staying here felt like staying with family. The rooms are nice and have individual temperature controls. The location is perfect for visiting the Stone Forest. Can't say enough good things about this place!

FranceThe beds, a little stiff, but it is the case in China.
Thank you so much for the staff who, despite not speaking English so much, organised my arrival from France to their hotel. They arranged me the taxi from Kunming aiport late at night, and then all the taxi transfer to the stone forest, and then back to Shilin train station at a fair price. The hotel is located in Wukeshu village, which a modern minority village. It is a 10mn drive to the Stone forest. It is very calm. the breakfast is absolutely amazing (baba, fresh fruits, tea, porridge, local jam and so on). The room was simple yet very clean. (Yes, some roosters in the morning though). FYI, there is a rapid train line from Shilin to Honghe.Gejiu (1h), which is a 2-3h drive to the ricefields villages. Therefore you can go to the Stone forest, and then be in the ricefields in the same day without having to go back to Kunming.
