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 reviewWe had three nights stay at the retreat and it was a wonderful experience. My wife and daughter loved the place. The views in the retreat were amazing. All the staff were very helpful and always ready to assist even during busy hours. Defiantly recommended for foreigners who doesn’t speak the local language as the staffs are able to communicate in English. The food was also good. We mostly tried the western menu which met our requirements for breakfast, lunch, dinner and in betweens. Will be my first choice if I return to Yangshuo next time.
Nothing much to mention. Found the wifi in the retreat a bit slow, though not sure if only we faced the issue.

Verified reviewThe location right on the river was spectacular. Beautiful views, great front garden. While no pool is advertised, there is a little splash pool that was perfect and deep enough for our kids (and an adult) to cool off in. We moved from a cheaper hotel here as, between the superb location, free bikes, and helpful staff, the higher accomodation costs were covered by fewer taxi rides and equipment rentals. We were so glad we made the move. All the staff are fantastic and helpful and make arranging things much easier. The food was also great with Western and Chinese options.

Verified reviewI only stayed for one night during my trip, wish I could have stayed longer. Beautifully situated hotel at the bank of the river, possible to take nice walks, possible to walk up to take a raft trip, bikes are available by the accommodation. Quiet place, excellent food, very friendly and helpful staff. Possible to sit outside and eat lunch/dinner/breakfast with a view on the river.

Verified reviewIncredible view and your balcony looks directly over the yulong River, front center and intimate. Stunning up close karst landscape with enormous bamboo clumps. From 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. sit back and watch the parade of bamboo rafts drift down the river in bucolic fashion, then go take a raft yourself and marvel at your hotel as you drift by. Super friendly English speaking staff caters to a domestic and Western audience. Immaculate rooms and The hotel has one of the best restaurants in town with a range of exotic local dishes.
Can't think of a single thing we didn't like other than it was super hot and really humid

After toilet, no paper is allowed to flush to toilet but need to put them in a bin. Not hygienic

Verified reviewAmazing location. I'd definitely recommend the rooms on the second floor as the lower rooms are not great but there are plenty of seating areas throughout the resort to compensate. The second floor rooms with balconies were amazing though. The home made pasta is amazing ! The free bikes are great, we used them to cycle the 12km path. The receptionists were also super helpful for anything we needed. I'd definitely stay again !!
The food was good but a lot of it lacked salt. It sounds weird but the homemade bread was a great idea but it didn't have salt so lacked flavour :( This is a minor point but one that could easily be rectified.
