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.).

IndiaThe room cleaning was every alternate day, as we were a family with 2 young kids every day cleaning would have been great. Also the shower was below average no real flow or water force, this area should be worked upon.
The staff were very helpful each and everyone of them.The food prepared at in house restaurant was also tasty and overall a very chilled vibe.

South AfricaNothing.
The rooms are cute cottages with balconies (I felt like I was in the area where the staff live in Dirty Dancing :)). Spacious enough for our family of 4. There are shelves built-in along one wall giving you loads of space to put your cases and things. The rooms were lovely and clean. The owner Ron was very present and very helpful with anything we needed. He arranged scooters to be delivered to the hotel for us and adviced on some locations we were interested in. The hotel does offer a laundry service also which is very affordable. The restaurant and bar are very cool and right on the beach front. There is also a massage service overlooking the ocean which is amazing! The location was great as you could visit loads of other bars / restaurants all along the beach from the property.

BelgiumWe spent a short week in Lanta Emerald in March 2024. We were there with two kids and rented a family room. The hotel was extremely good value for money, right on the beach, including a resto, a bar, massage place on-spot and a pool mainly for the kids. The owner, Ron, helped us a lot two organise our programmes (including the visit of the mangrove forest, snorkeling, Muay Thai match) and all went super smooth every time the transfer fetching us at the hotel and dropping us there. The staff was always very helpful, and the food was delicious. So we were very sad to leave. Very much recommended for everyone looking for more relaxed holidays in Thailand avoiding the crowd in Phuket or in Ao Nang.

CanadaI was in a room with fan only (by choice) because I’m usually ok without AC (and it was a cheaper price.) However the weather was VERY hot, so I wish I had chosen an AC room.
It was very quiet and peaceful. The staff were friendly, kind, and helpful. The food was really good … I ate all my meals at their restaurant.

Czech RepublicThe thing to improve is to have daily cleaning - we had cleaning in once in two days. Mainly because of the trash. Beach towels would be nice to have.
I have to honestly say that after our trip through Thailand this was the best place to stay. This was not so perfect as other places are but definitely had the best "vibe"... And I would definitely come back here. The restaurant and bar were excellent - we had many meals somewhere else but this one we said was the best in terms of quality, taste and price. The rooms were quite simple but at the end nothing was missing there.

GermanyWe absolutely loved our stay at the Emerald. Initially came for 3 nights and ended up staying 9. Amazing location, great food, nice beach and a family that knows how to make their guests feel welcome. Ron, the manager, gives honest advice about tours and supports organising them. Highly recommend this place, especially for families with (smaller) kids.

DenmarkThe garden was not kept, huge burned lawn and debris from trees lying everywhere. Admittedly this is dry season and not much water to maintain a garden but then trees and scrubs instead wld improve the overall impression which now looked messy and not very nice.
If travelling on a budget this is a good option. Friendly staff, huge menu at the restaurant, right at the beach, clean pool. Stayed in a fan room which was upstairs and gave me privacy instead of the bungalows where people pass all the time.
