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 reviewA Perfect Stay at Viewpoint Ecolodge – 5 Stars! This was our third visit to Inle Lake, but our first time staying at Viewpoint Ecolodge – and it exceeded all expectations. The hotel is easily accessible by car, has secure parking, and is located very close to the Inle Lake jetty, which made getting around incredibly convenient. We stayed in the Family Suite on May 4–5, and it was perfect for our family. The suite includes two separate rooms, each with its own private bathroom, and a connecting door that offers extra privacy – ideal for two families or friends traveling together. The balcony offers stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The room was spacious, clean, uniquely designed, and most importantly, very comfortable – we truly enjoyed our time there. The suite also featured air conditioning and 24-hour electricity, which is a big plus since many hotels in the area do not offer round-the-clock power. This added comfort made a big difference for us, especially as a family. Breakfast was a highlight – a delicious mix of traditional Shan dishes and international options, all beautifully presented and accompanied by freshly brewed coffee. One of the most memorable experiences was the floating swimming pool – peaceful, beautifully designed, and reached by traditional Intha boat, which made it even more special. The entire setting, especially the private lake, created a truly relaxing atmosphere. We were fortunate to receive a complimentary late check-out, giving us extra time to enjoy the lake. The hotel arranged a silent, stylish, and comfortable speedboat, making our lake tour smooth and relaxing. Finally, the staff were exceptional – always friendly, helpful, and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcome. We highly recommend Viewpoint Ecolodge to anyone visiting Inle Lake. It offers a perfect blend of comfort, local charm, and natural beauty. Definitely a 5-star experience!
Dear Yamin, mm, Greetings from Viewpoint Ecolodge! Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review. We’re truly happy to hear that your first stay at Viewpoint Ecolodge made such a positive impression, especially on your third visit to beautiful Inle Lake! It’s wonderful to know the Family Suite, with its space and privacy, was a perfect fit for your family. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lake and mountain views, 24-hour electricity, and our breakfast with traditional Shan and international options. The floating pool and boat ride experience are special to us, and we’re thrilled they added something memorable to your stay. Most of all, thank you for your kind words about our staff – we’ll be sure to share your compliments with the entire team. We hope to welcome you and your family back again soon for another relaxing and enjoyable stay. Warm regards, Viewpoint Ecolodge Management

Verified reviewWe recently stayed in the one-bedroom bungalow suite at Viewpoint Ecolodge and had an exceptional experience. The hotel is beautifully renovated, with 24-hour electricity (a rare promise kept in Myanmar) and reliable Wi-Fi. The room was spacious, well-furnished, and felt like home, with adjustable A/C or heating for night-time comfort. Excellent value for the price. Breakfast was simple yet high-quality, offering customizable continental or local options. I particularly enjoyed the traditional Shan tofu nway and fresh avocado juice made with local ingredients. The Shan dinner was equally impressive, featuring fresh produce from local markets and the hotel’s eco-farm. The location is perfect for exploring Nyaung Shwe, local markets, mountain trails, and Inle Lake via their private jetty. The staff were warm, professional, and spoke excellent English. Viewpoint Ecolodge exceeded expectations—a beautifully designed, eco-friendly retreat and a true home away from home. Highly recommended!
Dear Jade, mm, Greetings from Viewpoint Ecolodge! Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review.

Verified reviewThere were some people at the hotel and they were friendly.
Due to the current political situation in Myanmar, it seemed like the hotel had been closed for a long time. They weren't expecting us and we hadn't receive any info beforehand. They offered us a transport to another hotel, but we found out later it was overpriced.
Dear Mr. Danilo, We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused during your visit and extend our heartfelt apologies for the unexpected closure of our hotel at the time of your arrival. Due to the challenging and unpredictable situation in the country, we were left with no choice but to temporarily and reluctantly suspend operations with immediate effect for a few months. This decision was neither anticipated nor desired, and we deeply regret the impact it may have had on your plans. Despite these unforeseen circumstances, we made every effort to secure alternative accommodations and arrange transport for you, even at a time when many hotels in the region were also closed. At Viewpoint Ecolodge, our commitment to providing warm and attentive hospitality remains unwavering. Your understanding and feedback mean a great deal to us, and we sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with the exceptional stay you deserve. We look forward to hosting you whenever your travels bring you to our region. Warm regards, Viewpoint Ecolodge Management
