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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Germanyyou have to be aware, there is no Wlan or aircon (there will be fans in the rooms) but this is a cute homestay and not a huge hotel.
We can recommend this place, the family is very kind and welcoming, the food is delicous and food portions were big, the homestay is very clean and has a good shower and the park entrance is less than a 5min walk away.

United KingdomWe loved our stay at AA Homestay! Albert, Irene and Mary are very welcoming and we felt very much at home. The rooms are comfortable and perfect for those heading into Mulu national park, as it's only 5 mins walk. The airport is also very close. Irene and Mary are great chefs, and we stayed for dinner both nights we were there. Definitely recommend!

Very friendly family, walking distance from the airport and near to mulu national park - i went back to nap before walking back for the second part of the day activities, drinking bottles are available for purchase, breakfast, lunch (on request) and dinner are available. Hot water is available too. Their fried rice is just amazing!! No aircon, but a working fan. It does get cooling at night (personally for me), no TV, limited internet connection, no water heater (not complaining as a cooling shower is great after a hot day in the park). Bring your books, download movies if you need, or simply chit chat with others if they're around! Do get comfortable with the geckos though!

AA Homestay was the best homestay I’ve ever been. The owners are very kind and excellent chefs, their fried rice, pumpkin curry and vege jungle fern were the best I’ve ever eaten. They are the most welcoming hosts I’ve ever met in Malaysia. Staying in their homestay was the highlight of the Gunung Mulu National Park.

GermanyNothing I didn’t like, just things you should know about: You will get really sweaty at times and I’d recommend you book your flights back from mulu in advance, since there’s no WiFi and your mobile connection most likely won’t cut it (at least it disint for us) or you bring enough cash to buy your ticket at the airport since they don’t accept card payment
Clean rooms, a really lovely team, awesome food for a reasonable price and the perfect location (you can walk 10 min to the airport and maybe 5 to the park entrance) make for a great time in Mulu.

MalaysiaLocation is great - only 5 minutes walk to the park and a RM5 ride to/from the airport, which is also close by. The facilities are basic - there is a fan in each room, good water pressure and clean sheets. There is no hot water but after a humid and sweaty day of activities, a cold shower does feel good! Albert and his daughter Mary are wonderful hosts and keep their property neat and spotlessly clean. Mary does the cooking and there is a menu to select from. I love her fried noodles and jungle ferns. Ask if ferns are available - Albert picks them fresh from the forest. Prices are also way cheaper than the Park Cafe. Tips. In the early morning and also at sunset hours, stand at the road just outside of the homestay and look towards the Park. You'll see the mountains/hills wrapped in clouds in the morning or in shades of orange/gold during sunset hours. Of course weather permitting.

United StatesNo complaints. It is high value accommodation, but don't expect luxury.
Lovely homestay in close proximity to the park HQ. We loved our 3-day stay at AA Homestay. It was clean and quiet, and the food was delicious and affordable. We loved being able to walk 5 minutes to the Park for our daily adventures, compared to the Marriott folks having to wait on shuttles. We had a quiet day at the homestay and was comfortable reading, relaxing, and watching the cats and chickens outside. The hosts were kind and very helpful.

ItalyTo me it was NOT a problem, so it did not affect my vote, but there is no hot water. Of course, given Borneo climate, it's not cold either. ;)
Albert is a great host! He loves to welcome people inside his house, and he's always available and kind to everyone. His two daughters take good care of the whole place, and they cook delicious meals! It's possible to have breakfast and dinner in the common area, and they are also available for lunch, if they are told in advance. They can also supply water and snacks at small prices, so you do not have to waste more time looking for them in minimarts or at the park (honestly I do not even know if there are other places to buy these things nearby... getting them just outside our room was soooo easy!). Location is perfect, really close to Mulu Park Entrance, so you can go and come back whenever you desire. Room and bathroom are really basic, but they actually have all the necessary for a pleasant stay: there is no A/C but there is a more than valid fan! If you are looking for a simple, authentic stay in Mulu, this is the place to be!!!
