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 KingdomNo air conditioner or fan. We had to close shutters and hence the view if anyone was out by the swimming pool as they could see in the room. The drive in was a tricky small lane around the edge of Monkeyworld
My wife had a good massage. Hotel staff were very pleasant. location and view were amazing across the treetops. Hotel had a nice friendly atmosphere.

NetherlandsCoffee wasn't that great (but I'm a bit picky with my coffee). Would have loved a glass of wine but could only buy a bottle. Gin was out of stock. WiFi was spotty.
Location was gorgeous, staff was professional and friendly, dinner was delicious (lamb chops), spa massage was really high quality, bed was large and comfortable, bathroom was large and had a nice view into the firest, outdoor furniture was large and very comfortable. I really enjoyed it there!

NetherlandsIf you are scared of insects and creatures you might have to consider another place. We loved this as part of the experience ;).
Staying amongst the trees and the sounds of birds and monkeys at Trogon is truly special. We liked that we could have dinner at Trogon as we wouldnt want to drive at night. Dinner was good and very cozy. All staff was incredibly friendly!

There was nothing not to like about Trogon House. The staff were amazing - particularly Wonderful, who was so attentive, and Bruce who cooked us amazing meals. The location can't be beat either, it's beautiful. Probably the first time I've truly relaxed in a year. We've already booked to go back.

AustraliaThey don't have blinds in the room we stayed in - which can be a good or bad thing depending on your sense of adventure
A hidden gem! The drive up is extremely misleading, this is a true secluded jungle experience with open 360 views from the room. We booked a spa experience which was private and romantic. All meals we had in house were delicious, and they catered for Vegetarian dietary requirements. A great location in the heart of the Garden Route!

United KingdomI can't speak highly enough about this place! It started before we even arrived with a lovely pre-welcome message and helpful video on getting to the venue. The staff are amazing, so friendly & helpful. We had the Spa experience which was exceptional. The food was excellent. Honestly, there is not one even remotely negative thing to say about Trogon House. If you get a chance to stay here, take it... and go and see the Elephants & Monkeys next door - also amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩
