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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United KingdomWe spent quite a lot even though we didn’t do any big trips
Such a special, beautiful stay. So relaxing with the jungle sounds and loved seeing all the wildlife. The bungalow right on the river was spectacular and the staff very friendly. Great being able to get the free shuttle into town. The food was good, tubing was so fun and we even saw otters and monitor lizards. The night safari was good but not as jungly as we’d hoped as we followed a path.

Everything, excellent, spacious, super clean with fine touch bungalows. Restaurant on site delicious and good prices, inside the lounge, next to the river. Sustainable and supporting local working. Loved it. 6 min ride from the small town and there is a free ride 4 times per day and also can be adjusted. All activities can be arranged from here.and excellent WiFi. Nothing more to ask.

GermanyThere is really nothing to criticize, except perhaps that the floor is a bit slippery after showering. But that's complaining at the highest level.
The location is exceptional, right on the river. The bungalows are large and spacious. All beds have a mosquito net. Due to the open and airy design of the bungalows, there is no air conditioning but several fans which are perfectly adequate. The water in the room and in the restaurant is free of charge. Water bottles can also be refilled free of charge for activities. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to the town (ATM) at set times. Outside of these times this service costs a few Baht. The staff is very friendly, attentive, helpful and courteous. There are different breakfast options, all suitable for Europeans. The choice for dinner is extensive. Everything we tried tasted excellent. Our favorite was the cucumber salad. The activities on offer, if we did them, were well worth the price. The river tubing was great fun. Unfortunately, we only did it on our last day, otherwise we would have done it at least a second time.

The communication before arriving was great and they helped us book transfers to the cottages and also after our stay. Everything was so easy when booking trips and the food was also fantastic with a great menu with a wide range of choices. We booked the full day tour which was great fun and value for money and Riverside Cottages made it seamless arranging it all for us. The facilities were great with comfy beds, clean rooms and bathroom and enough fans. It felt very homely, safe and comfortable. The staff were also incredibly friendly and hard working.

Cozy place, nature around! No need air cond, it's ok and not hot, your house located under big trees in shadows. Miskito protection is good. Also I like a breakfast, but be careful a lot of bee can stole your jem 😀 helpful staff like it. A lot of activities, we chooses a bamboo rafting, so funny!

IsraelThe trip to chew lan lake wasn’t that amazing from our perspective, and cost around 1700 bhat, we preferred the other attractions near by and simply hiking
Located in the jungle, right next to a river. The food and restaurant were good and not pricey. There are shuttles to the town few times a day (10 min drive)

BelgiumI liked the property but I left with the feeling that I was a tourist having to pay for everything ( which is normal), but this was more like in an attraction park. The property is not a walking distance from the town and therefore they organize 3 times a day a transfer to the town. Other transfers should be paid. Last transfer is at 18h but return is at 18.30 ( in practice you have 15 min before the free trip back). This means that if you decide to stay in town and have dinner there, you will need to pay to get back. And after 8 pm. It is more expensive. We decided to take the free transportation at 18h ( transport left 15 min later). We arrived to town at 18.30 ( time to go back for free). We could not go back because we still needed to find an ATM as the hotel did not accept credit cards. Given the fact that you have no other option than to buy everything in the hotel ( breakfast, dinner, drinks, all trips, transportation) you need to be prepared to have a lot of cash with you.
Nice setting to get connected with nature. Since the property is difficult to reach the staff was very helpful giving instructions on how to contact them to be picked up. They also organize all activities.

United KingdomWe didn’t spend enough time there!
Beautiful and authentic property. They really have thought about everything we need during our stay. They have a shuttle that takes you into the little village 10 minutes away 4x per day for free, they have a myriad of activities available (including river tubing canoeing, night safari, cooking classes, hikes etc). they have a restaurant open from around 7.30 until around 10pm with lots of options available. They have lots of books and board games available if you’d like. I have seen a few comments about animals and insects, but you’re deep in the jungle and it is serene and beautiful, its nature in its entirety so what do you expect. I recommend wearing lots of sun protection and some mosquito protection. I cannot recommend this accommodation enough. One thing to note is that it is in the jungle next to the Khao Sok national park, so as you can imagine it’s not easy to get to - it does take appx 1.5 hours to get there from surat Thani airport (and I believe about 2 hours from Phuket?) but they offer a coach to bring and take you. Truly spectacular scenery!

The staff will organise trip to the national park for you. We opted for the full day trip and we got picked up and had a tour guide bring the two of us around. We saw monkeys and were introduced to different flora. We stopped for lunch by a beautiful river spot and had a swim. Most amazing experience.
