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 reviewOne of the best locations in the area. Beautiful property and whole lot of space and activities to do. It's a birders heaven for sure!
Almost everything was perfect, nothing to complain. Can get a bit hot in the warmer days with the fans being minimal speed. But on request the staff was prompt is providing an extra portable fan.

Verified reviewA very authentic place. If you are going here, then definitely take a tree house. There is nothing special in ordinary houses, for which it would be worth driving three hours on broken roads) Now about the tree house. The house is half open (no glass) and the temperature and climate in the house is the same as in the jungle (no air conditioning). During the day, we saw four different snakes on the open terrace (green, tree, seemingly not dangerous for humans, but unpleasant). In general, if you are afraid of snakes, this is definitely not for you). During breakfast, parrots fly in and once a coati came, we also saw tapir tracks in the jungle, no monkeys. I definitely recommend this place for a couple of days. If more, it will be boring, since there is not much entertainment.

Verified reviewEverything was spectacular. Our treehouse was tucked high in the trees canopy surrounded by nature. We had a rain shower that took our experience to another level of wander. It was very relaxing and romantic. The wildlife and bird watching was amazing. They have many options for those that can not climb the stairs. Its worth a visit. We will be back!

Verified reviewOne of those rare 10/10 hotels! We had an amazing time at this lodge and can only recommend it. Our bungalow was so beautiful, the restaurant has an amazing view and good food. So much food is homemade or homegrown. All the tours we did were great and super easy to organize. The amount of birds you can see from the restaurant is amazing. So much nature to see on their own paths, would definetely recommend a guided walk to make the most out of it. Very friendly staff. Great massage directly above the water. It all felt very luxurious and high end, but gave us lots of easy access to beautiful nature and wildlife.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic with lots of wildlife. We booked a treeehouse for our 2 night stay, it was right in the middle of the rainforest and waking up to that view each morning was very special. The food we had both days was delicious, especially the evening meal. We would definitely recommend a stay here. Thanks to all the attentive and professional staff who made our stay so enjoyable.
Nothing at all

Verified revieweverything was great, a great place for the whole family. A lot of things where offered, nice tour, but especially the area around the lodge ist amazing.
A place for doing sports, or any offer would have been nice. The Yoga Platform was mentioned, but not really in use.
