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.).

South KoreaBe aware that there are mosquitos in the evening, and some will get in the room, and there is just no way around it. There is aircon and fans in the rooms but, because of the design of these traditional houses, the room will be warm regardless. It does cool down a bit at night, especially when it rains, but don't expect a cool room. I only took one cleanliness point away because the day we decided to stay at Terrapuri and enjoy the place, the pool happened to be dirty (muddy), and they didn't start cleaning it until late in the day, so we couldn't use the pool that day. All the other days the pool was clean, though.
Such a beautiful and unique experience! I felt like I was in a museum. I loved being able to appreciate the details of the construction of these traditional houses up close. I loved being surrounded by frangipanis and pandan trees. The food is superb and the staff are really friendly and helpful. You won't have all the comforts you would have in a modern resort, so this is more for people who can really appreciate this place and the experience it offers. Do some research about it, about the person behind it and what the project entails, and you will enjoy your experience to the fullest. The rooms and facilities were exceptionally clean. The location is great: Penarik is a quiet village with friendly people and lush nature. It is probably best for people who have a car because it is a bit remote and it isn't easy to get a Grab to pick you up there, but we didn't have a car and still enjoyed our time there. They have bikes that guests can borrow although they could use some maintenance. It is also a bit far from the nearest jetty (about 20min by car). Staff can help you arrange transportation and trips to Redang but this option is not very cost-effective. Overall, we loved our stay at Terrapuri! For us, it was great to disconnect and enjoy slow days, and learn more about Malaysian history and culture.

MalaysiaConsidering that the room tends to get warm in the afternoon, it is advisable to activate the air conditioning prior to the guest's arrival
Don't be deceived by the limited choices at breakfast; each item is prepared with exquisite taste and quality. They are bursting with mouthwatering flavors.

MalaysiaIt was a bit quiet as we were the only ones there for most of the time. Tours needed a min of 4 people to run- we would have liked to have done at least one trip out. Traditional food was nice.
The houses were amazing- the cost of the upkeep must be horrendous! loved the wooden bath, pool and four poster bed.

United KingdomThe maintenance was bad the air conditioning was not working and no maintenance staff available. The food was limited and pre-booked dinner acceptable. Despite menu options breakfast was hit or miss no choice so day 1 was OK local Nasi Lemak and day 2 some sort of sweet pancake with no option. The far too common response to requests was “sorry out of stock” I suspect this is NOT the local staff problem but caused by the absent management.
Location and historical buildings were as expected, the staff were as helpful as they could be and very friendly

United KingdomUnfortunately no information on what Terrapuri is about.. no history no information on all the different items in the village. A huge opportunity missed for the visitor to understand the heritage. Dinner and breakfast very disappointing.
A privilege to stay in such a beautiful setting… the accommodation is once in a life time experience for tourists. Staff kindly let us arrive early

MalaysiaThe room is like an oven. I arrived at 1200. Had to leave the room for the cool air of the beach. Return to the room after 4 hours and the mattress still too hot to even allow me to rest
Staff attitude is very good and professional. The Malay Heritage buildings are amazing
