How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We had a few issues but in fairness to the staff they dealt with them straight away. Wouldn’t rate it a 4 star hotel rather a 3 star but it was very good value for money so you get what you pay for.
Staff very nice and helpful and good location. We were given complimentary late check out until 2pm which was a bonus. Breakfast ok, but a bit repetitive.

It's in need of some TLC - the pool.tiles, the gym is awful, decking by the pool is rotting, the mezzanine in our duplex was extremely noisy and creaky, curtains in the room let in light. I've stayed here before (6 years prior) and it has been let go a bit since then. Shame. Just needs up keep!
Friendly knowledgeable helpful reception staff, breakfast variety, location, swim up bar with two happy hours (2hrs long), pool size, bedroom size, and professional and efficient cleaning staff. Plus - the look of the place- the decor.

The pillows were too high. They had no soft and flatter pillows. It’s a far walk to the better beach where Centara is located but it is walkable and doable. Lobby area is small and cramped.
Great pool area, helpful staff and spacious, clean rooms. Easy access to massage places, restaurants, pharmacy, 7 Eleven, etc all along the road. I love all the eco items in the room and they provide distilled water in the reusable glass bottles. Breakfast was okay. It’s about 5-10 minutes walk to the nearest beach for the longtail boats and lots of restaurants and cafes all along the beach area.

Breakfast, the butter melted and jam was left open for the flys (maybe put it in a basket?) maybe try and get a few more sunbeds around pool. And drinks expensive for a hotel. It’s ok for a 4 star.
Lovely hotel, great location and friendly staff. Rooms large size and hotel is eco friendly.

- Beds are not too comfortable, i had some trouble sleeping. - Our room location next to the reception, so it was loud early in the morning. - Power outages that for some reason only affected rooms, not the entire hotel or other hotels around. - Facilities are worn down in many areas, it needs renovations
- Location is very good, close to everything yet not in the middle of all activity. - The hotel itself is nice and there are not major flaws. - The breakfast provided is good - The staff was friendly and nice, not amazing, but good.

A few inconveniences: Our room wasn’t ready at check-in time. Breakfast starts at 7 am yet on the first morning they weren’t fully ready for another 10-15 min. Massage pricing was higher at reception vs the website and a sign in the lift, but staff wouldn’t honour the lower price.
Large room with comfortable bed and big balcony. Robes and slippers provided. Excellent breakfast, large pool, good location.

The mattress is very hard, couldn't sleep properly in that bed. But this was the only downside, everything else was perfect.
The pool area is amazing! Especially if you take a pool access room, definitely recommend it.

Our balcony faced the back of the building so the view was not very nice. So if you can, choose a pool-facing room. You could notice the general wear and tear of the place, but I think still good value for money.
Great breakfast, nice large pool, spacious room and extra wide bed. Good location, away from the crowds but still in walking distance to everything.

The swimming pool is lush!!! We’re usually beach people, but Krabi was the hottest place we visited in Thailand so having a swimming pool was perfect! Good buffet breakfast, friendly staff, pool table and happy hour were a bonus too! Oh and huge comfy bed!

This would have been a lovely hotel in it's day, but I am afraid it is in urgent need of maintenance and repair. There are many Health and Safety issues that need addressing, particularly in and around the pool area.
Great location. Helpful staff who are clearly over- worked. Good breakfast.

In such climate region not really need to serve butter for breakfast as it melts very fast. Or at least put the butter cups in ice bath to keep them cold. The wooden bed frame - takes too much space and tends to hurt the legs against it.
