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.).

IsraelA stip climb from the road to the room (the stuff were very kind and helped us with the bags). We also had electricity shutdown in the evening hours but it was probably bad luck
The room was amazing - great view from the balcony with a "net" you can sit on just on top of the view. Great shower, comfy bed. Breakfast was served to the room balcony which was great

MalaysiaNothing significant. However, to get to your room, it's a steep walk on concrete pavement. Might not be suitable for the elderly or pregnant ladies.
This place exceeded my expectations. The photos that we see in Booking.com don't do justice to this place. The room is very spacious, super clean and comfortable. It has a balcony that we can relax and enjoy the stunning view of the lake. I strongly recommend to stay here and experience this place. I would definitely stay here again.

ItalyI have no words. The room was so clean an spacious and from the balcony you have a stunning view. The staff was so helpful, they help me to arrange the tour boat and even an hiking to go to top view of Ban Rak Thai near the border with Myanmar, but I would not suggest it for old people 😅 P.S. Be ready for a hearty and delicious breakfast

ThailandIt was very cold when we were here down to 8 deg, but there is no heater in the room, hence the less than perfect score.
This is a great place highly recommended, high up on the hill with awesomef views of the lake and the town. It has a huge balcony with seating and great views. There are two double beds which were very comfortable, large shower area they even have hot water in the sink. There is a spare room for your luggage

United KingdomNot a dislike but in order to get the views you have to go high. A 200 m walk up a steep hill to get to your stay. The staff took the suitcase but still a tough walk. For older people give this a miss.
The views were fantastic and worth the effort to get there. 10 out of 10

ThailandParking was a bit odd; we were 'parked in' in the morning, even though there was ample space next to us for the another car. Not entirely the fault of the owners, but they could possibly be more attentive when guests arrive to make sure cars are parked properly.
The room and view were fantastic, and the 'mookrata' that was delivered to our balcony was delicious.

BelgiumWalking up the hill.
We love the place, what a view!!!. Our room is located higher up in the hill, which can be difficult to reach if you are less mobile. Once you are there, you don't want to leave. It was breathtaking. It is a short walking distance to the walking street of Ban Rak Thai.

SingaporeExpect to walk up hill steep slope to your accommodation but the view is all worth the effort. Just travel light to easy your walk. Do expect flies and mosquitoes, but they have insect repellent spray in the room. No TV, just the village view is enough to entertain you during your stay.
The facilities are more than what we expected. The place is comfortable, clean and the view is excellent. They are walking distance to the tea plantation, shopping street and restaurant.

United StatesFor $80 per night - an astronomical sum for remote northern Thailand - I expected better amenities. A welcome cup of tea (it's tea country) might have been nice, or even soap in the room. We had to use shampoo from the shower to wash our hands. Basically, there was nothing provided except the room. It was also up an extremely steep incline, and it rained the whole time. This was very unsafe. I am healthy and strong, but other middle aged people might not be able to deal with this. Also absolutely zero English spoken, in case issues arose. The room was amazing, but otherwise overall our stay did not meet my expectations.
Regarding breakfast, the reservation process was confusing and apparently we did not choose the breakfast option. Which I ALWAYS do. If it was an available choice, I would have chosen it. There were numerous comments, photos, and descriptions of breakfast. Given this and the cost of the stay, I assumed (I think rightly) it would be included. So upon arrival, the guy just rudely told us "No breakfast." And that was that. There are no markets in this village. I asked the guy what we are supposed to do?, and he pointed towards town to get noodles. It poured rain the whole time, so we had to walk into town in the rain in the morning to find food. There were no breakfast restaurants. So we had spongecake and a coffee, the only thing available in town. Ridiculous.

The room was clean, quiet, and had good Wi-Fi. A short walking distance to the town center, The owner was so kind to pick us up from the Airport upon our arrival. The last day before went to the airport, he took us to the nearest temple on top of the mountain. I highly recommend staying in Hedreung Banrakthai homestay and camping.

VietnamIt’s located at the highest spot of Ban Rak Thai so the view is magnificent day and night. The room is spacious with an enclosed changing room which is so convenient and private. The balcony is also very large and relaxing. Everything is clean and comfortable. With the price this reasonable, I don’t think I can ever book a room that good again anywhere else in the world.

United StatesIt's a long road to get here. Great stuff but it felt like a lot on top of the already significant days of driving. Evening and morning cooking fires and daytime burning made it pretty smoky.
The room was absolutely beautiful and still smelled like fresh Ikea. And the view from the balcony is ideal. The town is unique and fun - very Chinese with a Burmese population.
