Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsDecent, basic stay, close to Tangkoko park. Also walking distance from the beach. Breakfast was good. Owner can help with trips through the park.

NetherlandsCold shower, though actually very refreshing given the temperature and humidity. I was also surprised by the high cost of guided park walks. Not sure what is normal but we paid 100,000 per person per day for entry plus 150,000-200,000 per person per walk for the guide. We did an evening and a morning walk.
Literally just outside entrance of Tongkoko Park. Very friendly people and great food. Beds did not come automatically with top sheets, but the owner organized this immediately upon request.

NetherlandsAlmost nothing, there were just a lot of ants.
Host and guide in one! We arrived and could immediately talk about what times and tours we could do. He was also a former ranger so he definitely knows the jungle by heart. We saw everything we wanted to see and the room had everything you needed. Would recommend this place!

MalaysiaThere was no warm/hot water which would have been nice, especially since it was quite cold after the rain. Some space to put toiletries in the bathromm would be nice as well as some extra power sockets (only one in the room).
The homestay is located right next to the entrance to Tangkoko Nationalpark and not far too walk to the beach. The owner and staff were lovely and the breakfast included was plenty (pancakes, eggs, toast, fruits), coffee, tea and water is available foc all day. We did two nature walks with Jenly, who has a lot of experience in the jungle as he was the head of the Nationalpark and wildlife police before he retired. He went out of his way to show us all the animals, a very passionate guide and lovely person. Definitely recommended. Rooms are basic but clean and comfy beds.

NetherlandsI think the bathroom need to be clean. The room is basic. By booking.com is written included extra: walking safari (I think don't mention dat). Be prepared to bring cash (rupiah) with you. And be prepared to pay for the guide.
Kind staffs, reasonable price for the rooms.

CanadaRight across the street from the Tangkoko reserve, great accessibility. The accommodation is dated and simple but clean and comfortable. They arranged the tour, with the person who arranges accomodation, and he was extremely knowledgeable. We did an evening and a morning tour. Tarsiers, horbills, bear cuscus, green-backed kingfisher and more! If you are hoping for some of the rare animals pack appropriate footwear and prepare for a walk/hike. They also offer a traditional dinner for a reasonable price, which is helpful, as the local town doesn't have much.

GermanyPerfect Homestay with friendly people and good food. We did also two Tours with the owner and he took a Lot of time to Guide us around the forest. We feel quite Happy about that, because we left the typical Tourist Route in the Jungle and did Not Stick with the Other groups to all gather around the Monkeys at the Same time... We ended Up being all by ourselves in the middle of the Jungle (quite far from the main paths) and we were lucky to observe three kuskus for quite some while. We also saw a hornbill from close and the Monkeys. We can absolutely recommend doing a Tour with the owner of this Homestay. Thanks a Lot!

New ZealandWe were dropped off and left a bit confused and abandoned to start with. It would be a good idea to have the drinks and meal prices written on a board or on the fridge perhaps. Also the WiFi password written down somewhere.
Big and comfortable room with AC, functional bathroom. Water, tea and coffee available all the time. The food was amazing, catered for vegetarians and huge portions, and the women who looked after us caring and excellent. Thank you! A great location right next to the Tangkoko reserve entrance with Ifon our host and guide brilliant at spotting wildlife in the trees! Beautiful beaches and nice locals in the village. Basic facilities but if you are used to staying in Indonesia and or the jungle, you’ll be fine.
