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 KingdomThe location is a good base for trips eg Botree pepper farm, bokor mountain, but not much to see in the town.
Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. We stayed in a double and superior room, as we upgraded for a room with a bigger window. The french style decor is beautiful and finished to a high standard. The beds are comfy. Breakfast is delicious with breads, fruit and home made cakes as a starter. Free water refill to save on plastics. It's on a side road so surprisingly quiet and a good location, a few minutes to the river front and restaurants.

United KingdomPillows were too big and full for me, would have liked a softer one. I stayed in a room with a balcony on the 2nd floor which was pretty hot on arrival and when returning after a day out.
This was the second time I have stayed at The Columns with an 8 year break. Nothing much had changed, remaining a calm tranquil oasis. The staff were charming and they made our stay so personal and memorable. Breakfast was delicious.

GermanyNothing that we don’t like about this hotel , but we think the breakfast could be better than that by giving more options.
Set within a beautiful, vintage French building, the hotel's decor exudes timeless charm. Its central location allows for easy exploration of the city and riverside. The staff, particularly the manager, are both friendly and efficient, enhancing the overall experience with their warm hospitality and helpfulness.

IrelandBreakfast was super tasty but I would have liked it to be a bit bigger. In fairness, I got more super fresh baguette bread and gorgeous fruit when I asked.
This small boutique hotel is gorgeous. It consists of 3 French colonial buildings knocked into one. Two stories over the ground floor only. Lovely decor. A huge thank you to the owner for investing in this property and preserving these beautiful historical buildings. The manager was delightful. Spoke excellent English, was very erudite & helpful. He gave me a lot of his time and really understands the concept of service with a smile. The other staff were lovely. The bellboy was so so attentive. Lovely lovely room. Everything I like in a room was there. Great air conditioning and ceiling fan. I got a great night's sleep. Spotlessly clean. Highly highly recommended.

SwitzerlandWe stayed for 3 nights at the Columns and loved every bit of it. The hotel is very centrally located but yet in a quiet street. All restaurants, bars in the center etc are within walking distance. It is safe to walk back to the hotel at night. The hotel covers the area of four historic shop houses which have been renovated with a lot of taste and respect of the historic details. The room we stayed in (Deluxe superior) was very comfortable and again with very nice, tasteful interiors. The owners including all staff were very friendly, providing an excellent level of service and great hospitality. We were helped booking the excursions in the region and finding a driver for our trip back to Phnom Penh. Everything worked out perfectly well. We can recommend the Columns to anybody staying in Kampot.

MaltaOnly 1 person of the staff spoke English, the rest no. I was very unwell during my stay there and couldn't eat anything. I asked for plain toast (I got 4 slices in a day) when I asked for more they told me they ran out and had to wait till the following day - it was awful - i couldn't leave my room i was so unwell and no food. also no phone in the room so every time you need something you need to go all the way up and down (not great when you can barely move)
They style of the hotel was nice - room was good - bed was comfortable
