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.).

South AfricaParadise is ready for a revamp (balcony cables falling apart). The jacuzzi looks old and the surface is rough. One would expect that this resort would be adults only (as there really is not much for kids to do. They only have one swimming pool and the serenity is spoiled by noisy young kids. The staff at the restaurant were new and untrained (it is not the responsibility of guests to train staff). No gym (they have an outdoor jungle gym which does not fulfill the function of a proper gym). The first time we stayed at Paradise we were given free cocktail vouchers but this did not happen this time.
The location is amazing with lovely shade trees on the beach. The seafood barbeque was amazing. The reception upon arrival was professional and informative. Early evening the staff prepare the room by lighting candles, pull over the mosquito nets and turn the bed. Generally the food was good.

United KingdomThe prices here are much higher than you would expect. Please be aware that an additional service charge of 10% and tax of 7% is added to everything. This adds a considerable amount during your stay. I enjoyed the stay but when I looked at the costs it almost took away from the experience. If I were to stay again 2 nights would be what I would aim for next time as 4 nights was simply too costly. We stayed here for our honeymoon and I had upgraded the room as a suprise for my partner but when we arrived they had set up the old room and we had to come down and inform the staff which took away from the suprise. However staff were quick to fix the issue and within 2 hours we were into the room we paid for. Though we did wait in the old room for the two hours rather than be offered a drink at the bar or anything which would have been nicer.
The views from the island are absolutely beautiful and the staff were friendly. We went on an island hopping tour and really enjoyed it and the tour staff were excellent and really made the trip unique. The food on the island was also very good and I enjoyed every meal I had. The island also felt very private during our stay which made it feel all the more special. Special shout out the man who worked at the bar who remembered my sun downer which consisted of a margarita each night for happy hour.

United StatesBooking activities and spa services was difficult until we got to the resort, but once there many things need to be reserved with 12-24 hours notice.
The plunge pool was killer and so nice to have in the heat! Also the views are gorgeous, the beach is quiet, and the staff is super friendly! Get a massage every day if you can, they are impeccable and quiet inexpensive, just make sure to book a day or two in advance at the spa desk. The food at the restaurant is amazing. You never have to leave the property if you don't want, but the boat and island tours are wonderful so make time for at least one excursion!

AustraliaWhile most staff members were really helpful and friendly, the female Swiss reception manager came across as a bit abrupt and rude. Also, due to the secluded location, there are no other restaurant or café options, so guests have to eat meals at the slightly higher prices of the resort, compared to usual prices in Thailand.
The resort and location are beautiful and quite secluded which is perfect for a quiet holiday away from tourist centres like Phuket and Krabi. The room was in great condition and cleaned regularly with fresh towels and water bottles provided.

It feels like living in paradise. Extremely relaxing while you still have options for activities like canoe, yoga, running club and visiting the village. The staff is extremely friendly and make you feel at home. There were also extras organised in the evenings like open air cinema with popcorn or bonfire with snacks and drinks. I loved this place and definitely recommend a stay. We stayed for 4 nights which felt like the perfect time.

United KingdomThe rooms are unique and give you a proper feel of being in the jungle, but I’m not keen on the doors and windows not being air tight, we got a few critters in which wasn’t pleasant, but this is Thailand so it’s half expected.
If you want a getaway from the tourist areas of Krabi/Phuket, this is the ideal place. Restaurant is lovely with Khao Soy being particularly good. The staff are welcoming, especially Bee who works around the pool bar. The excursions the resort offers are slightly more expensive than normal, but we found they were a lot more private as there was only two other couples with us for our trip.

RomaniaThere aren't many things to complain about and I understand why these things are as they are. For example the water was a bit underwhelming compared to other places in the Andaman sea, bu the beach area was well taken care of and the pool was a nice compensation if in need of a swim. The massages were a bit pricier compared to other places I visited in Thailand, but the massage was a whole experience, not just a massage. There were not so many options for eating out, but this was a fair price to pay for the peace and isolation, and we didn't feel like we were missing out.
The entire place was impressive, very well organised and I found gorgeous. The room was spacious, the dathroom very interesting and practical. The breakfast had many options of both Western and Asian food. We enjoyed the few activities included (bonfire drinks, trip to nearby island, kayak, yoga). The spa area was very beautiful and relaxing. All in all it was a great experience that I would definetly recommend!

United KingdomThings to note are, bus costs about £16 for a couple to the village and back. You can get it one way and ride mopeds back if you are brave enough to take the dirt track through the jungle (we did, it was scary but fun 😂). Trip prices are high compared to the rest of the island. It would be nice to have a gym but we did lots of other activities so didn’t miss it too much The food at the treehouse was the best of the 3 restaurants but you have to book. The prices there go from really reasonable to bizarrely expensive for some things you think would be cheap. We had the set menu though and it was stunning!!
Everything! The clue is in the title……it really is paradise 😁 We saw oriental hornbills, which are the most beautiful of birds, did yoga by the Sea with monkeys running around, went kayaking through the sea caves and hired mopeds to tour the whole island. Be aware that the location is remote (about half an hour from the village with a lot of that on dirt track) but it’s absolutely worth it. If we came back to the island we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The prices in the hotel are obviously more expensive but at roughly £5/£6 for a cocktail and food starting at around the same price, it’s not extortionate considering its remote location. The beach is by far the best on the island too. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The added bonus is that you can get a speedboat directly to Phuket and back (about £22 per person per direction). The pool was amazing, clean and cooler than most. In fact everywhere was spotlessly clean. The room was beautiful and had everything we needed. On a night with storms they even came to light a citronella oil burner, put all our blinds and mosquito net down so we didn’t get bitten! We got 90 minutes free yoga and a free kayak session too! We love, love, love this place and we will be back

No free town shuttle costs about 300 baht per person so would be adding up for a family or if you do it more often. I was told this would be also for maintance of the resort shuttle. Maybe worth to, in the end , find a solution and pave the road.would be safer for all employyes which all come by motorbike too

United KingdomFor the standard of the place, the restaurant could have been better. The kids menu is disappointing (no healthy options) and the food is often oily. This resort is very isolated on the island so if you’re hoping to explore Koh Yao Noi I would recommend splitting your stay in two. Avoid the long bumpy dusty road at all costs and arrange a boat pick up instead with the hotel.
If you’re looking for the right place to relax with a good drink and a good view, this is it. A lot of care goes into this place. Good efforts for sustainability and comfort. You will see dozens of hornbills and other happy creatures. Breakfast is very good and offers a wide range of options. There are different things happening every day like a movie night on the beach or a bonfire gathering with free food and drinks.

This hotel is brilliant. Not only was ist beautiful and luxurious with a beautiful beach but also has very helpful and kind staff. I had a health scare in the middle of the night due to a severe infection I had obtained in a previous location on the main land and the staff organized a driver in the middle of the night within minutes and I was in the hospital with a competent doctor before I could realize what's happening. One of the staff came with us to translate for me with the doctors. Thankfully I got healthy quickly and the staff was always worried and asked about my well being in the rest of the stay, which had great food, bonfires, laughter and dance. This place is unique and if you want to feel safe in paradise this is the place for you. Worth every €$€¥¢
