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.).

PortugalWe went in the end of november and the activities that were advertised weren't available at all. A lot of humidity and molt in the room, but I guess it was expected
The people from the reception were very nice, ready to help. Breakfast and the food from the restaurant was good. The jungle envolving the hotel was beautiful.

New ZealandThe cocktails were hit and miss. One of our meals was disappointing at dinner (mushy soft prawns) but all the other meals were perfect. The pool was also full of bugs, so we chose not to swim.
The staff were lovely, the place was absolutely beautiful and my family generally enjoyed our stay. I would come back and stay again for an authentic Sri Lankan experience.

ItalyMore attention on cleaning. It is true that it is located in the jungle, so you need to be flexible (eg monkey noises on the rooftop if you have the room on the first floor), but we found a cockroach that then entered a luggage. Only after this episode the room was cleaned in depth, especially the bathroom
Nice position, perfect base to visit ancient cities Spacious room Good breakfast & buffet dinner, with local and continental options Spa service available with reasonable price

United KingdomNot enough sun beds by the pool. Also, didn't really like the musician coming to individual tables at evening meal.
We loved the setting in the jungle, the pool was nice and big and the food was varied and delicious. Great location for climbing Lion Rock (10 mins) and the National Parks where we saw over 100 elephants on safari.

AustraliaThe property was amazing, you feel like you're in the jungle. They have even had an elephant come to the pool once! Unfortunately, we didn't get to experience that. The pool area is beautiful. Rooms were large and beds were comfy. Kids enjoyed the DVD selections. I enjoyed the spa service which was so relaxing. Booked an Elephant Safari which was fantastic! So much fun and a must do for anyone visiting.

AustriaThe bathroom is dark and dirty. The daily cleaning was made, but the walls were extreme dirty (little gecco poops were everywhere on the wall). We had a small frog in our shower during our 3 nights stay and we could see on wall where this frog came down and climbing up in the corner because of its dirty footprints. I am expecting more from a five star hotel or for the price we paid.
The hotel is in the middle of a forest, I would only recommend for travellers with transportation. We had a driver as we were aware of the location. The common areas (lobby, restaurant, swimmingpool) are really nice, however the rooms specially the bathrooms need a renovation. Our room was nice and big. The food (we had breakfast and dinner as well) was tasty and the staff was also kind. The swimmingpool is also warm which was very nice after a hot day.

Netherlandsits very isolated unless you have transport, there is not a lot else around and the road leading to the hotel is well worn and probably not suitable if you have any mobility issues although tuk tuks are available and can be arranged by reception.
staff were excellent and very helpful and friendly, very willing to help with organising sightseeing trips. breakfast choice was very good and cooked well ,as was the evening buffet . Very quiet hotel , swimming pool was very good if not a little cold compared to some but i think that is because it is well shaded by the forest trees . rooms were very large and clean and the aircon worked well.
