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.).

SwedenVery friendly staff. Great location right on the beautiful beach. Nice beach bar / restaurant with good portion sizes. Great sunset view! Clean bungalow with a great seaview. Bungalow is simple but clean. We came back here for breakfast and cocktails even after we moved to another hotel on the island. Would very much recommend and would come back for longer at this place next time!

AustraliaMy bungalow was right behind the restaurant, which was great when I wanted a morning coffee but not so great if it was a busy night and I wanted to sleep early. This would probably only be an issue with this particular bungalow, though, because the others were further away.
Amazing location, right on the beach. The accommodation has a great restaurant and there were many others nearby to choose from if you wanted a change. Staff were lovely and the beach was chilled and great for swimming or just hanging out. It's worth having a scooter if you want to explore the rest of the island. I would definitely stay here again.

GermanyNothing! It was great!
We loved our stay here and we really can’t put it in words. The bungalows are basically right at the beach and very specious and clean and a great porch to view the sunsets :) The staff here is a family and they are the greatest! Super nice and welcoming and they will try to help you with everything! The food is great especially the Massaman Curry, Tom Yum, Pad Thai and the fruit shakes! The beach is the most beautiful one on the island and Ao Kwang Peeb, a small lonely bay is just 15/20 minute walk away. 10/10 would come here again!

you can’t beat the location. the best swimming spot on Buffalo Bay. The water here is flat no rocks and perfect for small kids. The staff are lovely people and Khow prepares delicious food. The bungalows are very rustic and past their prime but the price reflects that. There are many options on Ko Phayam however this suited our budget as we have a five week stay in Thailand. Earliest happy hour that we saw starts at 3pm with big Chang beer for 90baht, you won’t find it cheaper. High quality ETE ice cream was a hit with the kids with many flavours to choose from. I am an ice cream snob so I can vouch for it. Our two kids had never been to the sea before and the jungle critters had them freaked at first but they loved the dogs which they are normally quite wary of. We stayed here for a week and are sad to have left. I definitely can recommend Baan Suaan Kayoo.

The Staff at the Reception/Restaurant was very friendly and very helpful. Upon arrival my mattress was way too hard. I was totally surprised and impressed, that they brought a totally new one the very next day. 💚 Thank you very much for that prompt solution and excellent service!

NetherlandsBeautiful location on the north of buffalo bay, nice swimming, very quiet beach. Huts are veryvery basic which was fine for us. Partly open on the upper part of the walls so you need to sleep under mosquito net which was fine for us. Not many mosquitos around during our stay in march, mainly around 18:00. You sleep in de jungle which we liked very much. Loved the vibe of the camp, very relaxed, people running it is friendly small team. Restaurant with view of the beach very nice set up. Nice places to sit and relax during the day. Good food, reasonably priced. All the huts have a small deck with chairs and table to sit. From our hut you could see the beach, about 25meters to the beach. Beds were quite hard which is actually something we liked :). It is jungle. There are ants when you leave any sweet food, this will be the same for every camp. Also higher end camps we had ants in our room.

GermanyThe only thing that I really had to get used to, was that there was no warm showers. Also I would recommend bringing a flashlight in the evening to avoid any surprises by snakes or something (that counts for pretty much all of Koh Phayam though 😅)
Very friendly and accommodating staff. The owner is also owner of a local scooter rental, so you can easily get scooters by asking hotel staff. The food there was also fantastic and the location at Buffalo Bay close to the Hippie Bar offers an awesome sight. During breakfast, there's a good chance you will be joined by a few hornbill birds. They are hanging out there quite a lot. Would definitely recommend this place.
