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...).

Our room was spacious, very clean, and incredibly comfortable, which made us feel right at home. Our 2-year-old loved it as well, which made the experience even more special for us as a family. Highly recommend!

United Arab EmiratesCommunication with the staff was a bit challenging. We came in off-season, so they seemed off their game. The welcome towels that were given to us were frozen.
The design of the hotel was nice, and the bed and shower were comfortable. The room and bathroom in both were spacious.

United Arab EmiratesConvenient Stay for Yala National Park Safari 🐆🌿 We stayed at the lodge for one night during our visit to Yala National Park, and it served its purpose perfectly. The room was clean and comfortable, and while the staff were a bit reserved, they still did their best to assist us with our needs. We really appreciated their help in arranging our safari, which gave us the chance to spot leopards, crocodiles, and many other incredible wild animals. Overall, it was a convenient and pleasant stop for our short adventure in Yala. Thank you for the support!

Hong KongHonestly it was great, maybe proper coffee machine would be the only suggestion.
The room is gorgeous, especially the bathroom! The dining area is lovely and has a nice view of the nature. The food was good, and they serve beer as well. We went on their safari which was great, we had a brilliant guide! We don’t really know what else there is to do around that area.

They let us keep access to our room after check-out time so that we could shower and change after the safari trip before leaving the lodge. Isuru in particular was always around to help

United KingdomWe stayed here for only 1 night in early April ‘25. The lodge is in a lovely setting, staff and rooms were a big highlight. We really enjoyed using the pool too. Lunch and dinner options were limited and had to be ordered prior from a set menu. Would have been happier with more options on the menu than what was available.

United KingdomI would have loved a bit of extra spice in our curry, but thats a small issue and personal choice.
Hadley and the staff have created an amazing atmosphere. Each room is an en-suite lodge with it's own terrace looking out over the grounds, the soil here is a rich orange, if you're luck you might get see some wild visitors. Service is topnotch. Experiences have been thoughtfully created. Ruwan, the guide for Yala is incredible.

AustraliaThis is a beautiful, peaceful oasis, a lovely place to unwind and spend some time away from the rest of the world. There has been a lot of thought put into this family hotel including the room (huge) and exterior design and the lovely inside/outside restaurant. It had the feel of a very comfortable African safari camp! The food at the restaurant was delicious, the swimming pool was a delight on a very hot day. Staff service was attentive and the hotel can arrange safaris at Yala as well as other activities.
