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.).

MalaysiaAccommodation was at the other end of the village, quite far from from the jetty. The pillows are not to my liking, thick and hard. Window screen is quite transparent, outside can see the room inside at night.
Nice shower room. Clean room. Quiet ambience.

United KingdomMaybe removing the sand pike (building work?) next to the chalet?
A super tasty breakfast, especially the pancakes. My husband would have lived roti canai with curry! 😉 We had such a gorgeous 4 nights in the beach front chalets - a perfect location and view to make our stay even more special. It’s a really private end to the beach but Salang is an easy stroll away and the staff at Ella’s are super friendly. We enjoyed a fab morning snorkeling at Coral Island too. Definitely recommend!

AustraliaOur room, air conditioning for 2 (not budget) was old and dusty and hot water was scalding with no control. There were new rooms for 3 that looked better, possibly try fan room. The beach furniture/hammocks needs upgrading.we were disappointed for cost of room value compared to ABC.
Position was excellent, secluded island paradise Breakfast yummy and good value.

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay at Ella’s place, the views are exceptional, the relaxed atmosphere is irreplaceable. Reading on the Hammocks, snorkelling in the surrounding bays seeing turtles, sharks and an array of fish. We were very looked after and I highly recommend Ella’s banana pancakes, we practically had them every day!

I had such a wonderful experience at Ella Place. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm, genuine hospitality that truly stood out. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The place itself is clean, cozy, and peaceful – perfect for a relaxing stay. I really appreciated the personal touches and attention to detail, which made me feel right at home. Thank you, Ella Place, for such a pleasant and memorable stay. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place with top-notch hospitality!

SingaporeSadly the village is quite abandoned since covid as compared to how it was previously when I visited. Hopefully the village gets some help with revamping and upgrading of the infrastructure from developers and the government.
A decent home-cooked style breakfast was available for guest. The chalet is right in front of the beach giving guest a nice view of the sea from the chalet and direct excess to the beach privately. Location is slightly away from other chalets, but in general Salang village is isolated from other villages.

United KingdomIt is expensive for what you get. We stayed in the basic room with fan. The cleanliness wasn't great. Mould on the walls in the bathroom and there were remnants of insect nests. The bathroom door was broken so it couldn't be closed. The sink emptied straight onto the floor and the water puddled in the middle of the floor.
Lovely location at the end of the beach which was calm and quiet. Wonderful sunsets. All the staff were so friendly and the breakfast was really good.

SwedenThe internet didn’t reach our room so we had to walk out any time we wanted to go online. Not a massive thing but we had to do some work and then it was a bit annoying.
Right on the beach, nice view. They offer a small breakfast selection. We booked a cheap room and you get what you pay for - simple. But we don’t need much.

Magnificent view from our bungalow. Sea and snorkeling meters from the veranda. Very friendly family who run the place collected us from the jetty and organised snorkeling trip to Coral Island. Accommodation is rustic and basic but adequate.

ItalyThey host us like beeing part of the family. Ella and her family are so kind and full of precious suggestions. If you look to a relaxing holiday Ella in Tioman is the place. Of course is not a 5 star accomodation , but this is not we are looking for, .but it is very clean and comfortable. We had quiet and relaxing holiday since we've not have from many years

United Kingdomit's all ok, nothing I didn't like.
if you expect a 5 star hotel experience, then you're at the wrong place here. It's quite bare bones, but does well what it's supposed to be doing. AC is cold, shower is warm, staff is friendly and accommodating. We didn't try breakfast but everyone else looked happy having it. We were rushing to get to the jetty so one of the staff members picked us up on their motorbike. Distance is about 5 minutes of brisk walk to everything else.

SwitzerlandThe room was very hot and the fan was not helping during the heat. An air conditioner would have been better but you can also just open your window at night and let the cold breeze come in (while the lights are shut so no mosquitoes get in).
Ella's family was very welcoming. They waited for us at the port of Salang to pick us up and also got our luggage back on our departure day. Ella is very responsive on WhatsApp and responded to all our questions before coming to the island. They suggested activities such as snorkelling, diving, hiking or just boat taxis which made us more mobile during our trip. All in all, Ella was a great host

GermanyOnly downside is that Ella‘s is at the remote end of Salang Beach, so you have to walk a bit along some remains of other buildings. When the sun is down that can get a bit creepy when you’re alone and you walk back from dinner at one of the other beach restaurants (Ella’s only serves breakfast, no lunch or dinner), but that‘s not Ella‘s fault (don‘t forget to bring your flashlight in the evening though).
I stayed for 2 nights at Ella‘s place and really liked it! Ella and her brother Lan were very kind and the breakfast good with quite a selection (like roti). The view from the bungalow quite nice towards the beach. Lan kindly organized a snorkel trip very spontaneously for me and 2 other guest and we very much enjoyed the beautiful underwater world of Coral island, spotting rays, needlefish, parrot fish and sea turtles!
