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 reviewAbsolutely brilliant place to stay for couples! Quite possibly the best house rental and undoubtedly the best value you will find on quaint M’Pay Bay which … by the way … is absolutely the best area to stay in … on either Koh Rong Sanloem or Koh Rong! Bok Bowie is a big, beautiful, super bright (it’s almost all sliding doors and windows!) modern and very clean house and property … you’re basically renting a good sized one bedroom single floor open space house with all the amenities including kitchen with fridge. It’s wonderful to stay in such a liberating space at such a great price compared to any high end and expensive resort room which might provide 1/3 the space and hence does feel cramped by comparison. Highlights of staying in Bok Bowie for us were … the size of the house, it’s brightness, it’s large bedroom with excellent mattress, AC and fan and ensuite bathroom with excellent shower, the wonderful outdoor seating area with outdoor fan and excellent lighting. All of this said, absolutely must reiterate that M’Pai is THE BEST DESTINATION ON EITHER KOH RONG SANLOEM or KOH RONG. It is so quaint with a great vibe and features soooo many great little eateries that provide amazing food so cheap compared again with other locations on the two sister isles. Last but not least … Sharon and Jon are amazing hosts who respond right away to any and all inquiries and will give you the inside scoop on where to eat and all things going on in M’Pai Bay. Bok Bowie … book it if you can. It’s a hidden gem but you need to plan well ahead or someone else will scoop it up before you!
Nothing at all!
Thank you so much for your detailed review! Really appreciate it and happy to hear you’ve had a good time! Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Verified reviewThis place was absolutely lovely - well-designed, cozy and spacious house, perfectly located (especially if you love having the best spot for snorkeling right at your "door") and great even for pets! Sharon is a great host, too - just a message away for anything one might need help with! :)
Thank you Claudia! It was nice to meet you and your furry friends 🥰

Verified reviewThe house and its location couldn’t be better. We had a really comfortable stay. Sharon and Jon went above and beyond as hosts and their bar across the street is the perfect spot for drinks at sunset. One of our favourite spots in SE Asia!
Nothing, was all perfect

Verified reviewThis guest house is a hidden gem in M-Pai Bay! Don‘t hesitate and book this if you want to visit this part of the island. The owner Sharon is such a sweetheart and her place has the best value for money. It has hot water, air conditioning and even a kitchen. Besides, I really liked the minimalist, modern interior design of this place.

Verified reviewThere are not enough words to say all the positive things about this stay. To begin, the hosts are great with communication from the minute you book and ensure you have all the information you need. They helped to give me the necessary information on what ferry to take and how to meet them to take the keys. They own the bar just across from the lodging so they are easily available if needed (the bar has the best sunset on the water on the whole island). I stayed for an entire week and the place was as if it was a new house in a modern city. I say this because the island is quite remote and most lodging is backpacker style. I did go to the neighbor island for one night and had the worst experience with lodging quality so I know that House Bok Bowie really is the BEST option available. Great set up, hot water, air conditioning, area to relax outside, wifi. It had it all. I was told where to eat (all places were great) and even after leaving they messaged me to give recommendations for my next place of travel. I can't wait to go back
nothing.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure to meet you! Wish you all the best Joshua!

Verified reviewWe loved our time at House Bok Bowie! It was refreshing to have an Airbnb-style place all to ourselves, which we didn’t expect to find on the island! Our hosts were lovely and provided us with lots of great tips on things to see and do. You can snorkel right next to the house and access everything on the island easily.
Some drainage problems with the bathroom but the owners are aware and working on it
Thanks so much Hannah! Glad you enjoyed your stay 😊.

Verified reviewThe place is so Nice! Its owned by a couple from England and the Netherlands. They are the sweetest. They speak perfectly English and they speak khmerian to, so they can speak with the locals if needed. The place is just a few hundred meters from the main pier in a amazing village. The house it self is right across their bar which has the best view for relaxing and seeing the sunset 😃 The room it self is an stylish room without been over styled. It is clean and if you want to, you can ask for getting it cleaned. But we didn’t used that during our stay, because it wasn’t necessary. I can’t recommend this place more if you are looking for a place where they have everything under control and just want to relax Thanks again 😃
Thank you so much! ☺️ Happy you’ve had a good time! Wish you all the best!

Verified reviewSuper great location, the house is beautiful and special mention for the terrace where you can enjoy fresh air. You have intimacy while being close to the beach and all the facilities. Sharon and Jon were really friendly and provided great recommendations and services so we could enjoy our full journey there (boat, taxi, restaurants, laundry, arrival and departure). This.is good value for money! Last but not least, the Bok Bowie bar is perfectly located to watch the sunset, beautiful spot with nice drinks! In conclusion, it's a great and comfortable new accommodation in this beautiful island and you won't regret it! Thanks Sharon and Jon, all the best for you ☺️ Lucie & Gustavo
Thank you so much! Happy to hear you’ve enjoyed your stay and time on the island! Wish you all the best! Sharon & Jon

Verified reviewSuper uncomplicated check-in and check-out (highly appreciated after some time travelling). Hosts very friendly and always available for any questions. the place itself is super nice: amazing outside Patio, good bed and well functioning air condition. location is good close to the pier and local life but still a bit private. would definetely choose this location again.
