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 reviewThe room and bathroom were very spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. Best feature was staying in the park and being just a few minutes walk from HQ and the cafe. We had some power issues on the second night and third day but it was dealt with expeditiously. We didn't use it but there is laundry service available.

Verified reviewIt's great to stay right in the park, whether you want to go back for your binoculars, take a nap, or get a snack. The rooms in Rainforest Lodge are huge and very clean. They include hot water in the room with coffee and tea. Nice deck, if you want to relax, surrounded by nature. Best part: Mulu Park has reverse osmosis water purification in each room from the tap. I appreciated all the efforts to avoid plastics and single use.
There is practically no phone service in town anywhere (I got a weak connection by taking a hike), and the only wifi in town is at the airport or over at the Marriott and at Good Times Cavefe. This is good in some ways. People aren't streaming videos and looking at screens all day. But it would be useful to have wifi service in the cafe area. I had an urgent problem and needed to make an international phone call, and there was no way to do it. Also nice to be able to look up information about the environment, weather, species of birds and bats.

Verified reviewRight in the middle the national park. Your reservation just next door. No need to arrange any transportation to and from the park.
The internet reception for maxis and Celcom are very bad in Mulu area and it is lovely if they can provide free WiFi to their hotel guest.

Verified reviewThe room was spacious, clean and comfortable. There is water heater, air-cond (although did not have to use it), ceiling fan was working well and provide enough coolness for the room. They changed the towels daily. Basic tea, coffee sachets were provided and electric kettle. The tap water is safe to be consumed. There's netting so you can open the door with no insects coming in. Don't have to worry about food cause there is a cafe there than runs until night time. You can pay with credit card. The stay was inclusive with breakfast and was decent with selected few menus that is enough to keep you going for the morning activity. There's also a souvenir shop that you can buy torchlight,batteries, snacks, raincoat, gloves, adidas kampung. For other things like sanitary pads, you have to go to Mini Mart outside the park (not that far). It is very practical to stay inside the National Park as the meeting point for any activities is just a few steps aways from your lodge. Note: 1. There is no wifi, and little data coverage within the compound of national park. They will advise you to use Digi. But you can always just cross the bridge and reception is fine there. 2. Make sure arrange for them to pick you up at the airport. There's no Grab or public transport. Plus you won't have data or reception over there. Although there is airport Wifi. Locals are so nice, don't worry they won't leave you stranded at the airport.
I love everything ❤️

Verified reviewThe location of the accommodation is directly in the national park and the bungalows are amazingly located in the rainforest. Our bungalow exceeded our expectations and was a lot bigger and luxurious than we thought by the pictures. Staff were extremely friendly and we also loved the breakfast and food options in the restaurant! If you go to Mulu National Park, this is for sure the best accommodation as you can directly start your hike out of your room.
Everything was perfect and above expectation!

Verified reviewThe location was incredible, right in the middle of the jungle. We watched lizards running around outside from our bed and listened to the sounds of all the creatures at night. The room was clean and basic although the sink leaked, the tap was loose and the electric sockets didn't always work. The tap water was brown, but boiled and purified it was ok. Bed was really comfortable and breakfast was amazing. Would definitely come again
The bathroom needed some maintenance and there was a hole in the mosquito screen

Verified reviewPrice-quality it was perfect, well organized, best location.
The only thing I would like is for the restaurant to open until a bit later, specially if night tours are going on.

Verified reviewThe location was second to none! It was fantastic to be able to walk out the front door and be a five minute walk from a rainforest. Such a treat. I liked that all the staff who worked there are from the local community and they were always extremely friendly and hospitable.

Verified reviewThe location is perfect, it is within the national park, so you don't need to wait for the transportation if you have a tour. There are many possibilities of food in the restaurant. The guided tours are interesting and well organized. Laundry is available and returned clothes cleaner than they were when they were new :)
Only one internet provider works in the region. Be careful buying the sim-card, otherwise you stay without internet for the whole period of your stay. No Wi-Fi at all.

Verified reviewAll of it! Wonderful location. I will return and see a lot more of borneo/sarawak too
Shame a couple of the other cave and trails were closed now. Only other thing is that I thought I booked for one but was charged for 2 because booking.com had shown 2 instead of one. The establishment said they would refund the extra person but needed confirmation from booking.com first.
