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.).

Fabulous stay! Everything was perfect. The cleanest property (worldwide) I have ever been to. It was very quiet even with pools in each vila. Shops and restaurants are very near. Staff is great, always going the extra mile. Everyone, the shuttle driver, the security, the reception. Thank you!

RomaniaThere is absolutely nothing that we did not like.
The place is like a little corner of one own’s paradise. The villa is spacious, with an amazing design, just like in the photos (or even better than in the photos). It exceeded our expectations. There is high quality in every detail. We enjoyed the pool in the morning while having our coffee and even at night before going to sleep :). The complex of villas is located in one of the most beautiful areas of phuket, at the entrance in Laguna Complex. The road to the beach passes, which is of approx 3 km, passes through a wonderful area, with luxury hotels, parks and good infrastructure. The beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen, in a natural reservation, not crowded, quiet and surrounded by vegetation. The italian restaurant nearby is very good and they deliver directly to the villa. Plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, coffee shops, pastries in the area.

We booked 3 bedrooms villa with 2 bathrooms and 1 powder room. The whole Villa is very new and clean. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a laundry area. The TV has YouTube and Netflix features which we enjoyed it. Love that they have shuttle service to bring us to the nearby restaurants and beach. There is a supermarket too. The service is excellent. May and the other staffs has been so helpful! 👌🏻 Appreciate that they prepared some dessert for my bday. We download the app called BOLT to help us get transportation (car or van). We didn't have to wait too long for the car each time we ordered one. Paying by cash is possible.

QatarAbsolutely exceptional from start to finish, the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly! Perfect location [10-15 minutes walking from nice restaurants and coffee shops], wide & clean rooms, & cosy beds. My kids loved the swimming pool. Many thanks to Nana, she was so helpful as she arranged our transportation from/to airport. Also she did a great work in organizing our activities plan. I stayed with my family for 10 nights and every day was full of great activities… My kids were so happy! I have been in Phuket many times, but never been aware of Horse or Elephant ride on the beach… Thanks again to Nana for her support and making our stay amazing one. Wonderful stay… Definitely recommended!

SingaporePillows could be more comfortable.
Villa is well-equipped; comes with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, spacious bedrooms and attached bathrooms. Nice swimming pool, not too deep for young children. Villa is located near Boat Avenue and about 5-10min walk away from eateries as well as Fri night market. Porto de Phuket is about 15 to 20 min walk.

SingaporeThere could be more timings for the shuttle bus service.
We had a wonderful stay thanks to Nana who made sure all our needs were met and even recommended several nearby eateries for meals. As we arrived at dinner time she ensured our room service order, including a special request for my baby, was confirmed and served promptly. The villa was fully furnished with a well equipped kitchen so we couldn’t ask for more. Breakfast and other room service meals were also delicious. The pool was lovely. We had to catch an early departure flight and Nana sent us packed bread the night before which was so thoughtful. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends!

Hong KongThe information provided on Booking.com stated that there were 3 en-suite bedrooms. To our dismay, one of the bedrooms did not have any washrooms. At the end, my brother and I had to stay in the same room. Moreover, the pool was only 1.2 m deep so it’s not really for swimming.
We opted for this Villa based on its good and convenient location. The design and the decor of the Villa exceeded our expectation. The management was helpful and excellent.

OmanI didn't like the layout of the villa. The children's room has no bathroom and is seperated from the parent's room by a pool. Hardly safe.. it is also very difficult to move around the villa comfortably. The breakfast is very lacking and was delivered cold and late.. not many halal options The location seems like an area for residents and not tourists. We have to take bolt to reach to tourists attractions. Approximately a 30-45 minute ride from anything.
-The villa was very clean. -I liked the ladies working in the spa. They were very good and accommodating.The main reason that prevented me from completely disliking the place. -The ladies at the reception listened to all our requests.. very friendly staff -it's way smaller than shown in the pictures. Very uncomfortable for 6 ppl even though it is a 3 bedroom villa.
