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 KingdomThis is my fourth stay at the Pimalai and it remains one of my top picks of all time, and I’ll be back. The unique combination of location, facilities, food and drink, and staff - all individually excellent- makes for a perfect and relaxing break. The 1/2 day-trips to Koh Rok and Koh Haa with spectacular snorkelling are highly recommended by myself - book in advance if you know your dates. The restaurants are great, sunsets spectacular and overall, there is nothing I can suggest to improve.

This is the best hotel we have ever stayed (and we stayed in a lot of 5* hotels), everything is just perfect. Breakfast is amazing, the food, the nature around the hotel, beach, rooms, staff, SPA...basically everything. You feel so welcome. It's just out of this world. I wish we could go there every year.

United KingdomThe rocks, especially when the tide pushed back.
The beach is a long stretch of sand but there are rocks that you have to be aware of when swimming. The hotel has marked a small area that is free from rocks and certainly worth baring in mind with small children that may just freelance. Clean, clear and very warm waters....highly recommended.

SwedenThere isn't much to complain about here, except for one thing, the monkeys.. We had a pretty bad and panicky situation at the upper pool. Out of nowhere a large male appears out of nowhere and jumps onto the sun chair (half a meter from my boyfriend - never thought they would come so close) and starts eating our drink decoration. We panicked and tried to scare the monkey away as we were very afraid that he would steal our things (mobile phone, sunglasses etc. were lay open). The monkey was 0 afraid of us and got super aggressiv (showed his teeth and ran after both me, my boyfriend and the staff). Many guests ran from their sunbeds and panic broke out. The staff had to call for a guard who finally managed to scare the monkey away. We were very lucky and no one was hurt. But we were quite traumatized by the incident. I understand that this is not the hotel's fault, but they did not prepare us for this at all and it was obvious that the "monkey-problem" was not something they wanted to talk about much. They continued to decorate the drinks with fruit, although it was obvious that this attracted the monkeys. Heard several stories from both other guests (and staff) about similar incidents. The monkeys were everywhere on the hotel area.
Fantastic staff and service throughout the hotel - 10 out of 10. Transfer to and from Krabi airport is included, they even help you check in at the airport. 3 restaurants (all organize different themed evenings), which gave a wide range and variety of food. The top pool is one of the most beautiful pool areas I have ever seen! Spa was great and great value for money. Sunset from Heritage Bar is amazing.

United KingdomDouble check the dive shop before you go - it was one of our reasons for booking but wasn't running trips during our short stay (they have a sister site in the town that trips where going from)
Everything was perfect. This was our last 3 days of honeymoon and it was a gorgeous time. The hotel gave us a beautiful room, a honeymoon cake, and such a warm welcome. We ate beautiful food, went on the most incredible snorkelling excursion, used the sailing boats on the beach. The attention to detail is so impressive and it was such a treat to stay here.

DenmarkThe quality of the food in the main restaurant did not match the hotel’s standard, except from the breakfast which was the best we ever had. Cars that pick you up and take you around the hotel smell a lot of gasoline.
Extraordinary hotel that feels very luxurious, surrounding by beautiful nature. We were upgraded to a pool villa which was beyond amazing for a little family like us. We did not want to leave! Will definitely return.
