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.).

ThailandIt would have been nice to have free water. One small water bottle per person was not sufficient. The twin beds were a little uncomfortable.
We really enjoyed the staff and the animals. The access to the ocean was unparalleled. The breakfast every morning was so convenient and tasty.

CanadaThe breakfast needed some small improvements The juice was just sugar orange mix, no bacon, banana, oranges, dragon fruits.
The breakfast was okay, I would prefer fewer really good options than to many okay options. Eggs, toast and coffee watermelon and pineapple. The homemade cookies and banana muffins were very good. Seems very family friendly - but we were comfortable as a middle age couple

ThailandMain staff at reception and the staff at breakfast are very unfriendly and unsmiling. There was no wifi either, although that was due to a cut across the island and not the fault of the hotel, but they were not particularly informative or helpful with this.
Fantastic location on a beautiful beach. Lovely, if fairly basic, room with great view. Staff at the beach restaurant are lovely and friendly.

AustraliaThe climb to the rooms could be a bit challenging for some people so just make sure you read what your booking. A little weird giving the key back each day in a bucket at reception for house keeping. Water pressure not the best. But all trivial issues.
It was away from the hustle and bustle of the main club areas,but still a gentle 5 min walk along the beach to get anywhere. Rooms are well sized and the balcony space is very generous. The restaurant is also great value for money too. Highly recommend this place

ItalyArea around the hotel could do with a good clean up. Hotel is very clean.
Beach and rooms are basic but good value for money. Sanit, is amazing and assisted us with all our needs Eddie always help with meals and drinks, always a smile. All staff are very polite and ready to help. The reception could be a bit friendly. You never get any conversation with them. But that is why they get a 9 and no 10. This is my second year back and can’t wait for next year. Quiet and our own private bay. Our type of location

ThailandMosquitoes but it’s Thailand and you’re in a rustic setting so come prepared with long sleeved, loose clothing and insect repellent. There are steps and slopes to the cabins. This didn’t bother us but it may not suit some guests.
A great resort for families and mature guests looking for something laidback, rustic and clean. Its not 5 star but nor is it too hippie. You can walk along the headland to the busier resorts too.

FinlandLots of mosquitoes as soon as the sun goes down!! The bungalows are old and a bit worn. Bathrooms and especially showers are of minimum standards. Most Sunbeds are reserved already between 6 and 7am. The breakfast is simple (no bacon for example, and only pineapple and watermelon for fresh fruits).
The location is great. A little further away from the main beach and crowds but still close enough. A very relaxed armosphere and beautiful beach. The bungalows are cute and surrounded by lots of green. The hotel restaurant has a wide menu and prices are very reasonable. In the evening it’s cosy with candles on the tables and lights hanging from the tree.

AustraliaImprove the language skills of the non-Thai staff, who do much of the work around the resort. More taxi's to the resort for easier travel around the rest of the island. Fix the wifi reception which was patchy at times and especially our Netflix connection on the bungalow TV which only worked for a couple of days out of the week, much to our teenage daughter's regret. The staff tried to fix it a few times but it was definitely dodgy.
Tubtim was a friendly, inviting place to stay in a quiet location with its own beach, which we enjoyed daily and was better and cleaner than most others we visited. The bungalow was clean and met all our needs, as well as being in a quiet location at the top of the property with no foot traffic. Breakfast was included and was pretty good, with a range of buffet options to suit. Restaurant and bar food/drinks were fresh, tasty and well priced. Staff were friendly and helpful, although a number of them were not Thai and had some language difficulties, but the senior Thai staff stepped up every time to assist. Facilities were limited, but again met our needs and overfall we enjoyed the week's stay at Tubtim.
