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.).

PolandAlthough the beach is nice, the water in this part of the bay is very shallow and muddy and you cannot really take a swim (especially in the low tide there is basicaly no water left). The bungallows are quite basic (which is fine for the price) but in the bathroom you can encounter frogs and other animals every day which at some point can get quite annoying. The breakfast is also rather poor as you can alternate between omlette and fried eggs.
The place is in a quiet part of Ao Nam Mao with nice views and good nearby restaurants. It is quite close to Ao Nam Mao pier from where you can reach Railay in 20 min by boat. The best part of the stay was a boat trip to 4 islands organized by the host. We got a private tour (4 people) for a very good price and with flexible schedule.

SwedenThere were no AC in the room which made it very hard to sleep as it was 36 degrees during the day and around 29 at night. Only a small fan to keep the air moving. And as the prize was so low, cleaning was just once a week. That made it a bit sandy for my taste. Still recommend it.
It was literally on the beach. Maybe 40 meters to the water. The surroundings were amazing, like living in the jungle. The staff was very friendly and they cooked amazing local Thai food. The prize for the stay was amazing, I think I paid €60 for three nights.

NetherlandsThe water is very shallow for eternity. Extremely hot and not clear, muddy bottom. Not really suitable for a nice swimm. Bungalows are very basic (what you can expect) they are more or less bug free but cleaning could improve, as could the maintenance..
Relaxed surroundings. Breakfast was nice. Views are great. Right at the beach. Bungalow with a hammock (although not all bungalows had one). Despite the cons we had a great stay and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere

Czech RepublicNo AC and fan inside the room is too small sometimes i can’t breathe inside so its better to be outside during the day and watch the beauty around. I don’t recommend for people who are scary about animals, you can actually hear animals who live under the roof you will experience true Thailand here. It’s more for courageous but i didn’t have any spider in my room luckily just gecons :D
Its on beautiful location. I can just open the door and jump into the sea :D Im in love watching sunsets from here also stuff here is friendly and helpful. Its really peaceful place like whole Thailand.

MalaysiaThe property was a bit further out from the main Ao Nang beach location, about a 10mins drive by car. But it makes sense, for that kind of beach front seclusion to come at this price means that it would be further out. But it was no issue, I just used Grab to call for taxis.
My bungalow was so close to the beach that if there had been a tsunami, my room would be the first to be wiped out. Amazing location, I can see the waves crash on the shore from my bed. And the trees were strategically placed so that others cannot easily look into my bungalow either.

United KingdomAs elsewhere in Thailand, make sure you clarify the price of taxi rides or pick up/drop off services arranged by this property before you use them as these seem quite variable.
The property is located right on the beach and has spectacular views over the ocean at sunrise/sunset. The bar and chill out area is a great place to chat to staff and other travellers and if you rent a car, the rest of Krabi/Ao Nang/Phang Nga bay area becomes very accessible. Food and drinks are of a good standard (Ra's cocktails in particular are amazing!) and reasonably priced and the hostel has a very chilled vibe which is a welcome relief from some of the busyness that you experience elsewhere in Thailand.

GermanySince the rooms are only fan cooled and there is no fridge or anything in the bungalows, it can get really hot during the day so beware of that
Beautiful place with a lot of nature and a private beach a few metres away. Hammocks and benches everywhere to relax and the staff is super friendly. Pets are welcome and the dogs are super friendly :)

United KingdomJust seems a bit run down.
I want to start by saying the staff here were lovely. Helpful and kind. The cabin was clean and spacious with its own little veranda & hammock. It's literally on the beach so just a few steps away although it's not a sunbathing beach. You can swim but not at low tide as its a bit slimy underfoot. It's a super quiet beach with not much going on so ideal if you want peace & quiet. The use of a communal kettle & fridge was useful for drinks. I did like this place & had lovely neighbours but it just seems a bit tired. With a big tidy up around the huts, daily clean of communal areas and a bit of TLC, it could be so much better.

United KingdomNo, a.c makes the nights tough, fans and mosque nets, so not bad .
A leftover of a golden age of backpackers paradise. Don't be put off by the unglamorous entrance because when you're in, it's a beach setting like no other. Go to enjoy a layed back atmosphere that is hard to find in an increasing area of development. The family that runs it is a delight, especially the lady of the house. The huts are on the beach, and so is the boat you can rent from the man himself. Please don't go if you don't have a good book and a better attitude.
