How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBeautiful property, approximately 20 mins walk out of town. Room was clean and the garden with lots of plants was fabulous. There is a local market just around the corner. Host was very helpful and will assist with all transportation.
Rooms needed blankets, not just sheets (I woke up cold both nights).

Verified reviewLovely area within the local community and not as far away from Kratie as I thought. The lady who has built this business literally from scratch in the village area she grew up in is so helpful and happy to chat about her childhood and life in general. Would definitely return.

Verified reviewWelcoming and comfortable. We loved the fabulous garden, the shared kitchen and the spacious bedroom. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet, so we slept very well. There were mosquito screens on the windows and although there was no AC, the combination of the ceiling and the standing fan was more than up to the job of keeping us cool. We loved the friendly shops and food places around the village and the friendly local tuk tuk driver to take us places. We were sorry to leave, we'd love to return.

Verified reviewPlenty of recreational area and use of kitchen at reception. Bike and bicycle hire available[motor bike $7 a day.
On arrival shown to room by wife of owner, no identification or booking No required. A lot of the time nobody present at reception, Wife hardly smiled whole time there and room was not serviced for the 1 week duration of our stay. Practically had to beg for clean towels. Breakfast was not worth the $3, 2eggs and toast.

Verified reviewVery friendly, helpful staff. Sweet place slightly out of town. Tuk tuk driver (Chork Heng) readily available to drive you wherever you needed to go at very reasonable prices. Both staff at the hotel and tuk tuk driver, very knowledgable about the area and happy to share travelling tips. Easy to mingle with other guests and enjoy the shared spaces - rooftop patio to watch sunrise/sunset as well as common dining area. Beautiful plants and gardens as well. Rooms were simple, but very clean and comfortable. Exceptional value for money. Would recommend and definitely stay here on return trip.
Loud rooster (on adjacent property) in the morning was hard to ignore.

Verified reviewThomas is such an adorable, kind and generous person. He knows so much about the region, the culture and the history. He also prepared a list of several circuits and spots around. It felt like being at a friend's home. The room was clean and spacious with double fans, and the whole place was quiet and tidy. Thomas made his house charming with all the vegetation.
