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 reviewLilys river house was a wonderful place to stay! We rented kayaks and went through the fishing village and down to the ocean! The food was incredible and the property was beautiful.
It was a bit hot sleeping with only the fan.

Verified reviewWe loved this one. The room is very nice, the food is excellent and the staff are really helpful. I asked them to arrange a surprise dinner for me and my boyfriend and they went all out! Also we did the boat trip and it was veryyyy good, but they need a minimum of 5 people so we were quite lucky that it was possible. They also have puppies at the moment!!
It is quite expensive to get there, as its located quite far from the pier. Also we would recommend to rent a scooter to go to Lonely Beach (or anywhere else), because the walk was more than 45 minutes, and we are pretty fast walkers. But its whatever you prefer :)

Verified reviewWe loved everything about our stay at Pappa Pippo hotel! The location was fantastic, a short five to ten minute walk to Otres beach which was beautiful and quiet, perfect for swimming. It was around a 20 minute tuktuk into the main city, and it was so nice to come back to Pappa Pippo for some peace and tranquillity. It is a small hotel with 14 bungalows placed around a swimming pool. There is a cafe/restaurant which has really good drinks and food. We also met some other travellers staying and all were really nice people! We would recommend our stay to everyone and all. Thankyou so much to the staff for taking care of us and we will hopefully return one day!
Nothing!

Verified reviewLily's was amazing, perhaps the best accommodation of our 3 week trip. We loved everything about it, from the friendly staff to the amazing restaurant and facilities. All the food at Lily's is homemade, and it's fantastic. The owner was more than happy to organise all transport too. I'll be coming back next time I'm at Koh Rong.
I booked Lily's specifically because of the "Lily's Adventures" reviews. Everyone raved about how fantastic the boat tour was and this was the main factor for us. Unfortunately, for the 3 nights we stayed at Lily's, there was no boat tour either because the boat was broken down or there were not enough people to go on the tour. This was a huge let down as we were unable to go snorkelling, fishing etc.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved Lilys riverhouse!! The huts are perfect, comfy and peaceful and in a beautiful setting along the river and amongst their chickens and dogs. They also have the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had!! I got it so many times and I don’t usually order western food.. although all of their food was really good! Lily is the cutest little girl and her mom is amazing, their place has it all! She makes the dough for the sandwich fresh every morning! We loved chilling in the restaurant with a bottle of wine watching the sun go down by the river. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. The owner helped arrange a scooter rental for us and a boat trip. We really liked the location, being away from the craziness of the south of the island and a really cute village to walk around.
It would be nice if there was cold water refills available included in the price, and if the kayaks were free for guests. Everything was an additional cost but it was also worth it so would happily be back!
Thank you very much for your good review. Whatever is lacking, we will try to make it better. Thank you.🙏

Verified reviewA wonderful place to stay, we enjoyed every minute! The family running it are lovely, and we found Lily their daughter such a funny and happy girl - so lovely! Pillows are the comfiest we’ve had in Asia, and the place was super clean and comfortable. 5$ kayak rental was amazing too. We would highly recommend staying here on Koh Rong and hope to be back one day :)
Even though filtered water was only 50 cent for refills we hoped it would’ve been free. All the other places we stayed at on Koh Rong/Koh Rong Sanloem had free refills - but this was the only negative!
Yes, thank you very much for your stay with us, and thank you again good review. but for the refill water is 0.50, we buy it from Sihanoukville in a container, it is 20 liters. We do not use rainwater or well water to fill , but that water is good and clean water from Sihanoukville. Well, we'll just assume it's 0.50.Thank you 🙏

Verified reviewStaff were very nice, the location was very peaceful at night, in the daytime there is some construction work going on but this wasn't a problem. We went kayaking on the river and noticed a river bar/restaurant. We went to it later and there was an otter that kept coming up the steps into the bar to ask for food, it was so sweet. On the last night we saw fireflies which were amazing, just like twinkling fairy lights on a Christmas tree.
There was nothing we didn't like but felt 3 nights was enough as it's quite remote
Thank you very much for your nice review. Good luck with your trip. See you next time. Thank you.🙏🥰
