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.).

United KingdomUnfortunately the fan room is like a sauna! We would not stay in it again as it was very uncomfortable the heat. Also the beds are quite hard and the WiFi isn’t the strongest.
Nice location, can hire scooters through the accommodation too (scooter is needed to explore). Good sized room and in a quiet area. The main man is very helpful with check in/out and if we needed anything. Free water, tea and coffee

SwedenQuite a lot of very small bugs and insects inside the house. None in the bed though. A small desk would have been nice to have in the room.
Great and helpful manager. Houses where very clean and equipped with shower, toilet, AC, and bug net over the bed (if wanted). Hotel offered both bicycle (only one though if I am not misstaken) and motorcycle rental.

United KingdomThe room got very hot especially in the midday sun- which made it rather unbearable to be in if trying to escape the sun. Refillable water would have been a preferred option rather than new bottles every day although this seems to be an issue across hotels in Thailand. Otherwise couldn’t fault it and were very satisfied with our stay!
Large spacious room. New water given everyday. Clean. Fridge in room. Porch area outside room with seating (mosquito spray needed!). Could hire motorbikes from reception. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very happy!

United KingdomThere were ants.
It's a really good location and there are a few motorbike hire places nearby. The rooms themselves are pretty basic although there are ants. The island is more expensive than the main land and full of resorts, so for a cheaper option Candyhouse is quite good. There's a restaurant and a resort with a bar nearby to get food.

Nice stuff and good value for money! We’ve been to the bungalows and would def recommend. You need a motorcycle to get around the island - can rent from the accommodation, def recommend! We had some issues with our room but got offered help immediately and got moved really quickly.

A beatiful location if not a bit remote. A scooter rental was possible with no issues, which made it very easy to explore the island. Great value for money and a great stay overall

United KingdomUnless you hire a motorbike, you're really limited to mostly disappointing, overpriced eating options nearby with one notable exception: the Bear Bar at Sea Breeze, just across the road. Another issue, is that the nearest beach isn't easily accessible. Again, a bike gives you access to better beaches around the island.
There's a lot to like about Candy House: large room; comfortable bed; very clean; kettle; fridge; two fans; good WiFi; and private outside seating area. All round, it was good value for money. We originally booked for two nights, and then extended for two more.

FinlandLocation is difficult if you dont drive a scooter, the beach nearby is not swimmable. Laundry (50thb/kg) came back dirty (stains in clothes that werent there before washing) and smelling weird. Also if you ask a staff member to take you to the nearest pier, it will cost 200thb if you dont negotiate something cheaper in advance.
Spacious room and comfy bed. Amenities working and in good condition.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have a bed side table, so we wouldn't have to put phones etc on the floor. Our sink was also slightly coming off the wall, which wouldn't have been too bad but the pipes underneath leaked everytime you turned the tap on. The green bungalow needs some maintenance.
The bungalow itself is cool, you have your own porch, and the colours are a nice touch. The rooms are basic but have AC and a fridge which was good.

United KingdomJust note that this place doesn't actually have a view, we thought we were going to be sitting on the balcony watching the sunset over the horizon but you have to walk down the the beach front restaurant. (cant really swim there). This shouldn't deter you from staying though, the incredible view was literally a minute away. There also where a few ants in the bed a few days, they enjoyed their stay as much as we did.
Great! It was so tranquil. You will absolutely need a bike to get around if staying here, you can rent one from reception and park it out front of your little hut. A lot of beautiful nature sounds. We were supplied with a fridge and a kettle as well as some coffee sachets for our stay. There is a little corner shop about a 3 minute walk away for any snacks. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure. It ticked all our boxes.

GermanyNothing! We loved it!
Candy House is just a few steps from the beach in a nice garden setting. We stayed in a room without AC and it was very comfortable with the two fans provided. The room was also very clean with a fridge, kettle, cups, mugs and spoons provided. The host was exceptional. He brought us extra coffee, water and towels during our stay which was lovely. We also rented a scooter from here (two options: new scooter 300THB/day or “small” scooter for 250THB/day) which was convenient! On our check out day, he even drove us to our next accommodation a few minutes down the road (we didn’t even ask for it), a true legend! We highly recommend staying here!

NetherlandsIt's quiet, and restful. You have a whole hut to yourself so no shared walls. The WiFi was great, I was able to work and do video calls. There is a decent size veranda at the front and a small one at the back with a rack for drying clothes. There is a small table and chairs and I moved the table inside to work in the afternoons and back outside in the daytime. The Aircon was great and even after turning it off the room stayed cool for a while. I hired a scooter from the owner to explore the Island but there are also 2 nice restaurants, a shop and a coffee place less than 3 mins walk away, so no need to use the scooter for everything.
