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 reviewRestaurant was great with really good food. All the staff speak English and are friendly and helpful. Motorbikes for hire are in great condition. A small shop on site for smokes etc was great.
No hot water for shower!!,, A little too far to walk to the city centre.

Verified reviewThe meals were lovely, home cooking at its finest. The hostess was very kind. Also, the room had a fridge, which was much appreciated.
It was a long way from anything really, so unless you have a vehicle it's not ideal. and the tuk tuk driver was a bit pricey. The accommodation does hire scooters at a good price though.

Verified reviewI can't say enough good things about Visal Sak. It's the kind of place, if you like living near the beach, jungle and mountains, you could stay for months on end. The Cambodian lady who runs the place is a wonderful cook of various cuisines. Asian, Italian, American, you name it. She also books tours and transport. Cleaners are very good and friendly. And the value is incredible. Spaghetti Beef Bolognese, huge plate, for less than usd 5. Incroyable!! Visal Sak is a huge concrete fortress-like building right on the highway, but goes way back, so in rooms can be quiet.
The location is a bit away from amenities, but can take a tuk tuk for a dollar or two. You're in the jungle here, so there are tropical insects, etc. There is some road noise as right off main highway.

Verified reviewFantastic value for money, very clean, lovely staff and our breakfast was delicious too.
The location wasn’t the best however no problem if you just hire a scooter, which we did from the guesthouse for just £5 a day.

Verified reviewBased on my trip, KEP (and the Guesthouse) has some of the best food in Cambodia hands down. Nice restaurant with a reasonably sized menu and very good portions. Staff are helpful and the properties have everything you'd need (hot water and the lot). Bicycles are free, and motorbikes are good. Can't complain

Verified reviewThis room is overall very good value. It is clean and spacious. All the available transport options written on the whiteboard were very fairly priced. My favorite thing was the breakfast which was an excellent spread for the price! $3.50 for an omelette, generous bowl of fruit, baguette with butter and good quality marmalade, juice, and very good coffee. Nothing fancy but all quality ingredients. (Slight variations also available like the way eggs were cooked or bacon instead of fruit). I honestly wasn’t a fan of the airy bread in Vietnam and this bread had the elasticity I’ve been craving.
I never thought I’d say this in Southeast Asia but the bed was too soft. Sinking into that foam with no a/c was so hot. I had to sleep at the foot of the bed where the mattress was the least broken in.

Verified reviewThe room was a decent size for the price, the staff were friendly and happy to go out of their way to help, there was a machine for free cold and hot water for those on a budget - it all helps! The location was around a 30 minute walk to the beach, 15 minutes to the crab market. There were a couple of shops nearby to buy the basics. The food was nice, the portions were generous.
They didn’t offer us any cleaning during our stay, I guess we would have had to request it. The food took a long time each time we ordered (at least 30 minutes for 3 simple meals) as there was only one person in the kitchen (but it was also rainy season during our visit and very quiet so they didn’t need the extra staff). We didn’t care but for those that do, the TV didn’t work. They only had cold water so during the rainy season, showers were a struggle!
