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 reviewIf you love to be in the midst of nature, you will love this, built right smack in the jungle, with gorgeous forest views, birds and lots of trees.
Would have been great that facility cater for wheelchair clients.

Verified reviewStaying at Jacob Villa (Standard Villa) very small studio. Nature enviroment. No telco connection at this place. You can rest without call or internet. Suggest to bring books for reading. Enjoy the enviroment forest sound. Balcony with greeny view. Cold at night. Fan is available. Cold water and heater is available. Nasi Lemak for breakfast taste not so good. Suggest to bring own food becoz the place is very isolated. Microwave, boil water heater, conduction stove, toaster, freezer and kitchen wear is available. Is summary, it was a great place for staying to relax your body. Forget about gajet and mobile phone. Enjoy the nature.
No toiletries. Very Small studio not value with the price.

Verified reviewThat it is surrounded by jungle
For the price they charged, there was no aircon. The kitchen was ill equipped, the cooking utensils were the wrong type for an induction stove, the microwave needs to be checked. Oven toaster fortunately did work. Cupboards were rickety Insect screens or fine net curtains may work to provide peaceful sleep. Mosquito coils are poison
Dear Anne Leong, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re truly glad to hear that you appreciated the beauty of the jungle surroundings, the friendliness of our team, and the refreshing natural tap water. We also value your honest feedback regarding the facilities. Sorry to hear that the kitchen equipment and appliances didn’t meet your expectations, we have checked the microwave and induction stove are all functioning well, please help us to understand what was the issue you had with the facilities? Your comments are helpful, and we will be reviewing our kitchenware to ensure they are convenient for our guests. We'll certainly explore safer and more effective solutions to enhance comfort during rest, especially in our natural jungle environment. Regarding the lack of air conditioning, we understand this may have impacted your stay. While our concept is built around a more nature-immersive, eco-friendly experience, we are always reviewing guest comfort needs, we have fixed 2 units of ventilation fans, one in the bedroom and another in the kithen - the purpose is to bring in fresh air from outside and remove humid air and maintain a healthy temperature indoor environment. Thank you for booking with us, and we hope we’ll have another opportunity to welcome you back with an even better experience. Warm regards, Deserenity

Need to add hooks in bathroom to hang clothes and towel. Need to get all residents to request for internet service
Dear Kiam Chin, We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Deserenity. Thank you for your review and for bringing your concerns to our attention. Regarding the internet, please note that our location in the jungle can make the connection challenging, which is why we use a satellite system. Guests who require a better internet connection can purchase a code and is been stated on booking website. However, some visitors prefer to disconnect in this serene environment. Hope to welcome you back in the near future. Thank you Best Regards

Verified reviewWe stayed in Jaya Villa which has 3 rooms - a bedroom with 2 queen bed, a bathroom and then a kitchen with a dining table. And outside the 3 rooms, runs the long balcony overlooking the forest. The Kitchen was one of the most well equipped we have come across in Malaysia. Everything is provided for. The lady from the staff is a very nice person, always smiling. The swimming pool is a small, cute one. There is no WiFi but you can buy a common WiFi for RM 10 per connection. Since there is no cellular signal, you have to buy this for any internet activity. The paid WiFi worked quite well. The nasi lemak breakfast is adequate and tasty.
Main disappointment was that this villa did not have aircon. And it gets hot and stuffy in the night as you have to shut all doors because of bugs and insects which might enter from the balcony area. If you want to go to the kitchen through the house, then you have to cross the bathroom! Sometimes to get tea from the kitchen to the bedroom I had to come through the bathroom. In the bathroom, no shampoo provided. Only a basic body wash which you have to double as face wash too. No towel racks too. Finally, for breakfast there should be at least another choice than nasi lemak.
