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):
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.).

JapanA bit run down in the bathroom area, but everything worked just fine.
Location is very good for this solo traveller, with Kep National park in your backyard. My bungalow was perfectly located, with a nice-sized veranda for relaxing. Bed is standard for Cambodia, and firm, which I prefer. Good separation between bungalows.

New ZealandJust a short tuk tuk ride from the beach but it would be quite a long, hot walk So that's the only downside of having to pay for tuk tuks to the main area.
Peaceful oasis with lots of trees and flowers that make you feel so relaxed. The pool is surrounded by greenery so it is never hot around the pool. Beautiful rustic, simple but stylish rooms and restaurant.

JapanThe staff at the hotel are hardworking and caring. We stayed from December 26th, and the first three nights were satisfactory. However, on the morning of December 30th, which was likely one of the busiest days for the hotel, there simply weren't enough staff members available. Only two male staff were covering both the front office and the restaurant—one spoke English while the other did not. It took quite a while for us to get our tables cleaned, and placing our orders was also delayed. By 8:30 AM, despite breakfast having started earlier at 7:30 AM, it was clear that they were expecting high demand. Both staff members were working hard, and I’m not blaming them at all; it was evident that there weren't enough personnel to handle the situation effectively. Restaurant As noted in earlier reviews, the restaurant's menu has limited options, but operates also during restricted hours. I wish I had known that breakfast is only served from 7:30 AM before booking my stay. Here are the operating hours: Breakfast: 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM Lunch: 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM Dinner: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM This isn't a major issue if you have time or prefer to eat later, but with an early-rising child who requests food at 7:00 AM, I wish I had been informed of their opening hours in advance. Neighbors' Dogs As mentioned in previous reviews, we had had some frightening encounters with five or so dogs that would run up to us and bark aggressively. On one occasion, a staff member saw this and threw a stone to scare them away. While I'm unsure if there's anything the hotel can do about this situation, I hope it can be resolved soon.
Room and Facilities We stayed in a spacious standard double room, which was thoroughly cleaned. While the bathroom is a bit dated, it was still good enough for our needs. My son absolutely loved the hammock on the balcony! The dining area is great, especially on the upper floor where you can enjoy beautiful views. The swimming pool is nice for both adults and small kids, with clear and inviting water. The garden was beautiful too. Location and Transport This hotel is situated within a national park, making it quite isolated. However, major attractions are still within walking distance. Renting a motorbike or taking a tuk-tuk are common transportation options. Personally, I had an unpleasant experience negotiating the fare with a driver sent by the hotel staff, which led me to rely solely on the PassApp app for transportation. I chose this hotel specifically for its location, so I have no negative feelings about this aspect.

This hotel is set in beautiful gardens with a well-kept spacious pool and a lovely dining area to see the sea during breakfast. Each of the rooms are clean, tidy, with good facilities and very comfortable balcony areas. We stayed in the 4 sleeper room and the balcony had a hammock and seating set which was perfect for relaxing in while it rained. It is exceptionally quiet and peaceful but still a walk away from the sailing club and the crab market. The breakfast is simple but adequate and the service was so helpful and friendly. Overall, this was perfect for our relaxed weekend away and I will definitely stay here again. Thank you to everyone at Kep Lodge.

Everything! This is an amazing place to stay in Kep. Location is slightly out of the way, but this only adds to the experience. Self-sufficient place and perfect for our last 4 nights of our holiday. Lovely pool, well proportioned rooms - clean and comfy. Great balcony with hammock! The food is great and had the evening meal every night and one lunch (plus breakfasts included with our stay). We certainly tested the menu, which was to our liking! Gardens are very pretty and well maintained. Staff were friendly and very helpful and have contributed to making our stay a memorable one. Would stay again if returning to Kep!
