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):
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.
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.).

ChinaI thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Elephant Home Guesthouse. The room was spacious, quiet and comfortable. The guesthouse was a short stroll to all of the attractions and eateries in Xishuangbanna. Check-in and out was smooth. The owners of the guesthouse were extremely polite, attentive and extremely helpful. They conveniently provided airport pick-up and transfer. Everything was fabulous. I will definitely be coming back in the near future!

We had a really nice stay. The hosts were super friendly and kind. They offered much information and they were always keen to help and show us the way. We need to check out early on our last day in the city and catch the morning train, and the host kindly offered to take us to the train station for free. The room was spacious and quiet, and the hotel location is great. The hosts would also bring us different snacks everything, which was super kind.

SpainDon't have anything negative to add about the guesthouse or our stay. Everything was perfect for us and will definitely come back if I can come back to Xishuangbanna.
Location was great, less than ten minutes walking-distance from the night market. Around the guesthouse there are also some nice coffee shops and restaurants. Overall the guesthouse was awesome, our room was spotless, super cozy and loved enjoying our morning coffee in the balcony. The owners are super nice :D and helped us with some tips to move around the city. I couldn't recommend it more if you go to Xishuangbanna.

United KingdomNothing to complain about, except sometimes you wished the neighbours would stop their music but the guesthouse has no control on such thing and it was not continuous either nor a big deal.
Mr. LIWEI the manager on the premises has a warm welcoming smile and exceptionally friendly manners that certainly deserve a 10 grade or even higher. You just feel greeted by your closest friend, and actually the first thing he did was to pay my taxi before I even went out of the car!... And during all my stay anything I asked was immediately provided with pleasure. The guesthouse is nicely decorated with many antique furniture and equipments that make you feel being in a personal home and not in a hotel. The street is far away from the main traffic and the property is quiet and conveniently located. The owner, Mr. Li, is living far away but he's quick in helping in anything you request and actually he spent a lot of time showing me around. A great team and certainly a great place to stay.

The location is great. It’s very close to the fantastic’Star Light Night Market’. The room is very clean. There is everything you need in the room. The host Mr. Li and his wife were very nice and friendly. They help every single guest who stayed in this charming hotel. They give very detailed advice about where to go, where to eat…… Mr.Li even writes in Chinese in a piece of paper for directions for those who don't understand Chinese. Mr.Li was very kindly drive us to the railway station when we were leaving Xishuangbanna. We think everyone would feel home in this very nice hotel.

Hong KongI liked most things. A tad pricey compared with similar places but acceptable. There is no breakfast option and I think this is a missed opportunity as westerner like a certain type of hotel breakfast
The place is located in middle of tourist area not far from the night market. very convenient. Good sized room with air conditioner and TV with lots of channels including latest movies. The landlord is an excellent host - he looked after everything, invited me to drink Pu’er tea and when I left he gave me a very nice gift of tea boxes which was a very nice gesture. I highly recommend for foreigners visiting area.

This guesthouse is amazing! It has a real tropical vibe: the style of the building, the garden, and the rooms. It could be anywhere in Thailand. It is surrounded by a lush tropical garden but is still centrally located, close to shops, restaurants, and main attractions. The night market is just within a few minutes walking distance. The owner is super friendly, always smiling, and ready to help at any time. It is a real bargain. I loved my relaxing and laid-back holiday here. I will definitely stay in this guesthouse if I visit Xishuangbanna next time.
