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 reviewEverything was amazing at Retro Kampot Guesthouse. The location is great, the room was perfectly clean, very cosy and comfortable. Monica was the absolute best host! She made us try traditional khmer food we could use the kayak on the river and rent scooters. It was the best part of our trip.
Nothing!

Verified reviewAbsolutely everything! Monika and her family are just amazingly kind and welcoming, the whole place is incredible, food was delicious for a fair price and the free kayaking was a welcomed plus. The vibe is really chilled and the nature out there is lush and vibrant. It is hands down the best place I've stayed in Cambodia and really felt like a home away from home. I miss it already.
That rating scales go only up to 10.

Verified reviewThe bungalows are right on the river, which is lovely. The bungalows are basic but clean, and Monika, the owner, is maybe the most loveliest person we have ever met. All the staff were so accommodating.
The beds were a little hard

Verified reviewMy friend & I stayed here for two nights as, after a month traveling, we wanted some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle. That is what we got too. We stayed in our own 2 person hut with a little balcony that had comfortable seats and a hammock, ideal for relaxing; almost read my entire book! We went kayaking one day, following the Green Cathedral trail. The kayaks were provided free of charge by the accommodation. They brought us fresh fruit and cold water every time we appeared in the common area which was equally as colorful. Their hospitality was wholesome, welcoming and extremely helpful, especially when we needed to organize transport to our next destination. I cannot fault this place. I would strongly recommend a stay.
We loved everything.

Verified reviewLocation by the river is beautiful, it’s quiet and tranquil and very homely. The river front family bungalow is an absolute gem, I booked it as a solo traveler and had the most relaxing private stay. The food and staff are all fantastic too. Kayaking was a highlight. And the taxi driver Ree gave a wonderful day tour to the pepper farms and other attractions. I highly recommend staying here and booking the taxi service with Ree via the guest house.
I liked everything

Verified reviewPeaceful and tranquil setting. Kind,thoughtful and engaging staff. Helpful and accommodating. The food is really good with a price-point that is very reasonable. It is the perfect place to “decompress” and chill. A unique and special place.

Verified reviewSuper chill, many spots to relax. Free use of the canoes. Easy transport to the city.
It’s a little outside the city, but that is perfect if you want to find some peace and quiet. Not a lot of solo travelers, but that can be expected

Verified reviewBy far the best stay in 2 months of traveling. The bungalow is very clean and everything smell great! Even the mosquito net has an incredible smell! The place is quiet and relaxing, perfect for chilling or working. The food they cook is amazing and very very fresh. But the best thing is Monica and her team and family! They are incredibly kind and ready to help, their welcome was amazing, offering us fresh fruit and water as soon as we arrived. Talking to Monica and getting to know her a bit has been such an inspiration for us. And they offer free water refill, which is very rare! Everything was great and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for quiet and coziness. Other positive notes: they have motorbikes to rent and they offer free kayak tour in the amazingly beautiful green cathedral. Don’t miss it!
