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.).

Franceeverything was just perfect!
I rarely had such a wonderful experience in a hotel, everything was just perfect. The staff is so friendly and professional, they organised everything for us (hotel transfer, welcome drink, booked restaurant table, tourist guide for Angkor Wat, pool service etc..) so we could enjoy a wonderful stay. The hotel is very quiet, has a very nice swimming pool and our family suite with 2 bed rooms was big, comfortable and very well equipped. I would recommend the Elephant to anyone traveling to Siem Reap

United StatesThe friendliness of all the staff was unmatched. The front desk and restaurant staff were wonderful, the rooms were large, and the pool refreshing. Loved the happy hour specials. The hotel arranged an Angkor tour for us with guide and driver and it was fantastic. They also arranged airport transfers without issue. We also recommend going to the circus and the elephant sanctuary.

ChinaNothing. All great!
It's my second time staying at The Elephant, and it was just as good as the first time. The staff are incredibly kind and professional, very patient and helpful. The rooms are spacious and the beds are super comfortable. Fresh clean linen, great a la carte breakfast menu with delicious expresso coffee on demand. The cocktail by the pool was delicious, it wasn't overcrowded as it's low season, and the water is great if you want to refresh yourself after a long walk through the temples. I'm definitely coming back again in the future.

SerbiaNothing at all, everything was perfect.
I don’t have enough words to express how amazing our stay was, especially because of the lovely staff. We planned to stay for 4 days but ended up staying for 6. The bed was super comfortable and we slept so well. Breakfast offered plenty of delicious choices, and the hotel restaurant served excellent food. Cocktails during happy hour were a highlight, and afternoon tea with different local desserts each day was such a thoughtful touch. We loved the tree planting activity. We planted a cannonball tree and we are already planning to come back in a few years to see it grown! The in-room massage was incredibly relaxing. And all of that would already make for a wonderful stay, but the staff truly made it unforgettable. So warm, kind, and proud of their work. It didn’t feel like they were just employees, it felt like they were truly a family, and we were welcomed into it. It filled my heart. This place is a gem, we felt cared for, relaxed, and connected. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and see you again soon!

We enjoyed delicious breakfast and dinners and especially the tea time! The staff was amazing and very welcoming! They made excellent recommendations for visits in Seim Reap and set up our various excursions. We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay and highly recommend this hotel and excellent price!

United StatesA walking map might help for those who don't have cell service. Many streets seem to have no signs or signs with names that are different from those on Google Maps.
The Elephant is simply wonderful. The staff make this place extra special; everyone is friendly, polite, and go out of their way to make your stay perfect. I booked the honeymoon suite so I could have a bathtub, and it was fantastic. Breakfast each morning was delicious and afternoon tea was something to look forward to. The ginger tea is fantastic! Close enough to walk to the tourist attractions, but quiet enough to enjoy your relaxation time. Free evening tultuks to Old Market and Pub Street for those who prefer not to walk.

United StatesThe hotel itself is beautiful and very well maintained, but what makes this hotel so great is the amazing staff! 5 star service with a smile and kind word every day. The pool is very relaxing either for swimming, reading a book or even for a nap. Every morning of our 9 day stay we looked forward to being greeted by the dining staff and very much enjoyed the delicious provided breakfast. I have stayed at many nice hotels with excellent service, but this one is just a bit better.
