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.).

SloveniaThe WIFI didn’t work well in our room (it worked great at the pool though). If you don’t know how to ride a motorcycle the location is quite far off (approximately a 30 minutes walk to the pier/city).
It was a nice change of peace. Since it’s location was quite far off staying there was incredible peaceful and allowed me to relax. Just being there i felt in peace which i really appreciated. When we were staying there, there were not a lot of people so it was super quiet as well.

United StatesThere were not many basic amenities provided you would expect at a hotel. Limited towels/wouldn't give extra towels when asked, no hand soap (was told to use the body soap that hung on the wall), and no other kitchen amenities besides fridge, sink, and kettle, so couldn't bring home food to prepare own meals. In the description of the hotel, movie nights were advertised - we were really excited about this, but most of the staff wasn't even familiar with this, and one staff member was able to tell us it had been closed since COVID and the owner did not bring it back yet. Wifi was not really good. Nothing was BAD, but we just felt a little underwhelmed. The hotel is also pretty far away from the busy part of the island - which is nice because it is very quiet, but if you wanted to try out different restaurants, get a massage, or experience more activities, it is a very long walk along roads without sidewalks. You either need to call a tuk tuk for 200 Baht (one-way), or if you are comfortable, renting a bike for the day for 300 Baht. The scooter was a fine way to travel, but keep this in mind for this location.
The resort was overall nice. The facilities were updated, the pools were well maintained (and fun to swim in!), and no bugs in the rooms! Food offered by the restaurant was also good - we had no problem eating here (maybe a little expensive, but wouldn't expect anything else at a hotel!). A lot of books throughout the resort to pick-up and read on the lounge chairs, which was a nice way to relax throughout the day! Quiet, isolated area. Nice staff. Rooms were well air-conditioned. I can't compare this hotel to others, so if someone were to go to Koh Samet, I would recommend this hotel. Overall, this is a fine resort and we were comfortable. But things to keep in mind . . .

United KingdomPeople reserving sunbeds in the morning and disappearing for hours was not good as there are only around 8 sunbeds by the main pool but I guess that happens everywhere
The location was perfect for us as a couple travelling together. A short walk to beaches bars shops etc. there were days spent around the pool and the food and drinks were perfect with a great selection on the menu

United KingdomOnly bad point was the bathroom as no shower cubicle so bathroom gets went and the water doesn’t drain very well.
Big spacious rooms with good sized bedroom and bathroom. Our room got upgraded on arrival so we ended up staying in a one bedroom suite. Both pools were clean and large. We only used the smaller pool. Sunbeds were comfy but not enough of them I would say for how many rooms are in the grounds. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond and made our stay very easy. We rented scooter with them but took a day to be able to as they don’t have many and also we booked the 6 island trip through them. Food was good quality.

United KingdomThe bathroom floors can be slippery after showering as it is set out as a wet room, but we were all careful and no one fell.
The staff here were so very friendly, helpful and efficient. We were a family group of 17 people, age range of 6-77, the little ones loved the pools. The rooms are a great size, especially the 2 bedroom apartments, exactly what we needed. It was easy to get taxis to the other parts of the island

ItalyThe shower is all in one with the bathroom, not very convenient as everything gets wet. The floor also gets slippery, which is dangerous (my 2 years old fell down 3 times on our first day because of it). The AC in the bedroom was very noisy at times, like an airplane engine.
The staff is super nice and helpful. You can also rent a scooter at the hotel (cheaper than renting it in shops and they don't retain your passport). The food was also good.

United KingdomThe flat could have been cleaned a bit better before we arrived. We found some stains on the kitchen sides that would have been easy to wipe away. There is clearly some further building work to complete at the venue and when it is complete, it will be a very nice venue.
The best part was the friendly staff. The pool and bar facilities were very good. The food was good also. beds were comfortable and the flat felt spacious. The views from the accomodation were very beautiful.
