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 reviewReally amazing hotel, staff are so attentive and could not do enough for us. Breakfast was amazing with a view of the sea. Really quiet beachfront hotel perfect for a quiet getaway. After backpacking for 2 months and going to Nestival the night before this was the night of luxury that we needed. Massages and dinner Were lovely making us feel so looked after!
You are quite secluded which has its positives and negatives.

Verified reviewLovely property, very nice being able to walk everywhere barefoot in the sand. The food was great and a good price.
No complaints from me, I would say if you don’t like bugs then avoid the tents and book at room.

Verified reviewThe beach was perfect and the glamorous beach tents were fabulous - including a/c, robes/slippers and an outdoor shower! The staff couldn’t do enough for you and were extremely responsive on their WhatsApp number - booking the boat and return transfer for us, all added to our bill for ease of payment and great value! We did not venture far .. no need even though the adjacent resort was linked and we could use their facilities too - we much preferred Tamu for its simplicity and laid back vibe. The restaurant food and service was excellent!
Not much .. we had one tiny issue with the shower which was fixed immediately so even a very small negative turned out very positive!

Verified reviewLovely property, the look and feel were really cool and we loved the feeling of being in the jungle along the river. The staff at the property were amazing, getting to know us and really going above and beyond to take good care of us. The food and drinks were good, and we loved sitting at the restaurant and enjoying the view of the river and surroundings - beautiful.
It's not right in Kampot - which has it's pro's and con's. There is a little lagoon/creek running through the property which could use a cleanup (the river itself was pretty clean, though occasionally some plastic refuse would float by - this is of course not the property's fault!). Food and drinks are definitely on the pricey end for the area, but also the food quality is also elevated and fancier generally.

Verified reviewNice location on Padoga beach, we had tent no. 1 with seaview. Very nice wirh all you need for glamping. Good food & lovely staff. You can also eat in the sisterhotels like ayana. Super massage.
You need to know that all bathrooms are outdoor. I actually don‘t really like that. The price for koh rong is quite high.
Dear Isler, Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted that you enjoyed our prime location on Pagoda Beach, your seaview tent, and the glamping experience. It’s great to hear that you appreciated the food, friendly staff, and the option to dine at our sister hotel, Anaya, as well as our massage services. We understand that outdoor bathrooms may not be to everyone’s preference, but they are part of the immersive nature experience we aim to offer. Regarding pricing, we strive to provide the best possible experience while maintaining high standards on Koh Rong’s remote paradise. We truly appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you again for another island getaway! Best regards, Sarah

Verified reviewThe hotel is definitely the nicest on Pagado Beach and it wouldn't surprise me if it is one of the best on the island. It was quite comfortable if a little rustic. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.
The food was very ordinary and there were little other options to try as it is difficult at night to travel to other beaches/restaurants without hiring expensive tuk tuks. We tried the sister restaurant next door but the food there was even worse. After 4 nights we were very ready to leave. Overall the hotel is expensive for what you get. Sorry Tamu.

Verified reviewSuch a cool experience glamping on Koh Rong! The team were all super friendly and the tents were great, really well done 👍🏼 The complimentary paddle board for use was awesome and the beach area so pretty amongst the palm trees. We had a moped so also went exploring to some of the other beaches on the island.

1. Property could be a bit more clean, and something can be done to keep away the reptiles lurking around the rooms. 2. Washrooms can have jet sprays along with toilet papers.

Verified reviewLoved the laid back atmosphere and great service. Great to have Anaya as a sister location which gave additional choice. Ann and the staff were fantastic - you only had to think of something and it was done. Location was perfect with the shade of the trees if required. We had a Jungle room which was close to the reception and was perfect. Would love to try one of the tents next time!
A bit lazy but thought a intercom system or buzzer for placing orders from the beach might be useful.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience Michael! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the relaxation and adventure, as well as the laid-back atmosphere. As you mentioned, our guests can enjoy the facilities at Anaya, which we’re happy to offer as an added benefit. We’re delighted to hear that Ann and the staff made your stay memorable, and that the Jungle room suited your needs perfectly. We also appreciate your suggestion about an intercom or buzzer system for placing beach orders – we will consider this for future improvements.

Verified reviewThis is a boutique hotel in the most gorgeous location on Pagoda Beach. We really liked our tented accommodation which had a fabulous sea view. This is next level glamping! The staff were absolutely phenomenal and couldn’t do enough for us. They were very attentive and worked so hard to keep the property clean and tidy raking the beach every day etc. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary whilst we were there and were offered some free cocktails on arrival which was a lovely gesture.
We found the bed quite uncomfortable and would have like some more soft seating in the pool and bar area.

We’re delighted to hear that you had a relaxing stay and that the Tamu team helped make your 25th wedding anniversary extra special.
