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 reviewProbably one of the better hotels in the area. Good location. Nice property.
Shower was a bit old/outdated/not fully functional. Toilet didn't flush properly and we had to call the manager to fix it.

Verified reviewSuch a wonderful ambiance, with it's own Temple at the bottom of well manicured gardens! Beautiful pool, gorgeous lighting! Traditional Bagan puppets hanging throughout the gardens, lovely friendly staff...Beds comfortable,
Bathrooms are basic, outdated, smell from drains. Breakfast time finished a bit early. Coffee making facilities basic, however, when requested bigger cups, staff helpful.

Verified reviewLocation and hotel setting pool area and garden lovely. Staff were friendly and food and drink reasonable
Rooms were dirty, hot water not working, alongside various other broken things in room including the kettle. Manager had to be persuaded to put the generator on during power cuts. My friends were asked to move rooms.

Verified reviewSe loved our stay in Umbra Hotel If you to Bagan this is really a great option! It’s in Old Bagan and has its own temple inside The rooms and facilities are very good and food and restaurants are very good also! The staff is super friendly and kind!!
That they don’t accept credit or debit cards and we stayed a week so it is difficult to carry or get that much cash to pay And when we tried to pay in euros they did not accept them and when they finally agreed to take them they gave us a rate -40% of market value If you go take enough USD that’s the easiest and cheapest way to pay

Verified reviewWell-appointed room. Nice food
The behaviour of the staff at the time of check in was abysmal. They insisted that we pay the full price in cash and in USD. This is in spite of the booking clearly says that they accept credit cards. We had a 9 month old baby with us and they refused to allocate a room until we pay in USD in cash. Apparently, this is due to the difference in exchange rate between black market and official rate. A poor practice with this kind of hotels. Not worth listing with Booking.com

Verified reviewlocation, it’s like staying in a tropical garden with its own ancient temple. the staff are super helpful and friendly. the breakfast was fresh and a variety of choices. I’d stay again and recommend it to others.
They only take cash, and in the area no ATMs work! I had enough for the room, meals outside and the bus. Regular power cuts occur, but that doesn’t bother me. Remember we are visiting.
