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.).

United StatesThe room wasn't clean. Bedspread should have been washed. Dirty light switches and overall grubbie feel. Also rooms are very loud with a neighbor. I can't imagine what it would sound like if all rooms were occupied. You hear every little sound.
I liked the grounds especially the pool with a variety of reptiles and birds. I also loved the sound of the howler monkeys.

United KingdomOther reviews said the breakfast was great but we found it very basic, and the fruit was laid out with flys all over it. The eggs were great though and so was the view so don't let it put you off.
Loved this lodge - it was our favourite of our holiday! The pool just makes it really special, what a place to watch the sun rise. The aircon was a welcome surprise, rooms were huge and the reception staff helpful.

United StatesThe lodge is very unique. The rooms are in traditional styled huts. Each hut has about 6 rooms inside, and the rooms are decorated with indigenous artwork. Each room has its own seating outside. The grounds are beautiful and very interesting to explore, set amidst an archeological site. The restaurant serves delicious food and has lovely open views. The on-site infinity pool is stunning. The lodge is next to a rainforest nature reserve with a river and hanging bridges. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended.

FranceIt's very atypical. The houses in the shape of large huts are very nice and the vegetation is very present all around. The infinity pool is very beautiful. But what we really liked was the location. Tirimbina Park is accessible from the hotel. Awesome.

United KingdomWe tried to book tours by email in advance of our trip, however when we arrived and asked about them it became apparent that the tours advertised on the website are actually run by the next door Tirimbina Reserve. You can book by walking over and asking at the Tirimbina reception, but unfortunately they weren't able to provide a guide for the particular tour we wanted to do (although the alternative tour we went on instead was very good). The pool is lovely but unfortunately on the afternoon we spent there it was taken over by a group of kids who were climbing the waterfall and bombing into it. Staff nearby didn't do anything to discourage this.
The lodge is in a beautiful setting with lovely grounds to explore. The infinity pool has amazing rainforest views. The food at the restaurant is very good - the breakfast buffet had lots of choices and was delicious. Very easy access to the Tirimbina Reserve next door (there is a footpath between the two).

United KingdomThe hotel felt rather tired and not very lively. We ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was OK but unexciting. The room was relatively expensive and did not feel good value for money.
The property is next to a nature reserve. It is spacious and has grounds overlooking the river with a small swimming pool. The rooms are large and have en-suite facilities
