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 reviewnothing to do
tge owner & staff need to go an hospitality course to enable them to stay relevant in tourism industry. Most are rude & super unfriendly.

Verified reviewNice shower room. Clean room. Quiet ambience.
Accommodation 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.

Verified reviewThe room was clean and spacious. Loved having a fridge! The view was beautiful and location very peaceful.
There were very few options regarding restaurants in the evening. Most seemed closed during the week.

Verified reviewVery clean and comfortable. Directly infront of the beach. The host was really helpful. We got stood up by our water taxi, and the host kindly help send us to the jetty.
Everything was good.

Verified reviewA 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!
Maybe removing the sand pike (building work?) next to the chalet?

Verified reviewElla's place was exactly what we needed after a busy 2 weeks elsewhere in Malaysia. We had the triple room with sea views and AC for the first 4 nights which gave us both plenty of room and we had the best view! Woke up to the gentle sound of the waves crashing against the shore. We loved watching the sunset every night from the balcony and snorkelling out to the reef to see the wonderful sea creatures. We were lucky enough to spot a turtle on one of our swims...truly magical! It's about a 10 minute walk into the main bit of Salang which we didn't mind and Ella makes a great breakfast (french toast is very yummy!). The staff are all super friendly and will organise trips for you on the boat to the other towns on the island. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a peaceful time in nature on Tioman. Thank you for a great stay!
Minor improvements would be the hammock material was a bit rough and maybe a wee air freshener in the toilet. I would also have appreciated a lamp as the bright light was a bit overpowering at night when relaxing.

Verified reviewWonderful place! Incredibly warm atmosphere! Very kind and sincere family! Unity with nature. We had a view of the jungle and we enjoyed watching monitor lizards, squirrels, monkeys, butterflies and birds. There were delicious breakfasts. It is very convenient that breakfasts are right on the territory. Here on the spot you can rent everything you need for snorkeling. Here we also booked snorkeling around the islands. And it was the coolest snorkeling in my life. Great time on Salang Beach in Ella's Place!!!

Verified reviewEllas place is super cute with a beautiful beach, the breakfast is delicious. The room without AC is warm, but manageable and with the fan on/windows open at night its very comfortable.
Bathroom smelled like onions because it was close to the kitchen

Verified reviewPosition was excellent, secluded island paradise Breakfast yummy and good value.
Our 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.

Verified reviewWe 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!

Verified reviewRelaxing place, the view from the room is very nice. There are a lot of chair,tables and shadows to sit and relax in the beach. The staff is very nice and friendly. Is not far a way to restaurants
The sea there has a lot of rocks so is not nice but walking only 10 min you can find a great place to swimming

Verified reviewA 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.
Sadly 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.

Verified reviewLovely 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.
It 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.
