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.).

BelarusI would like to suggest cleaning the villa while we are not at home. We were offered cleaning while we were resting at noon. We refused because it was not convenient.
This is the second time we have chosen this hotel. We really liked everything. This is a stunning place with amazing views of the bay. The staff is very helpful and polite. The villa has everything for a comfortable life. We will recommend this villa to friends and will definitely return.

AustriaThe way up to the Villa is very very steep, you need to take a taxi, or a motorbike if you dare. The roads were under construction and I wouldn't have been comfortable to ride a motorcycle there. So the location is a bit away from things but you can order food or take a taxi/bike into town anytime.
We had an amazing holiday at Villas Del Sol. The Villa was absolutely beautiful with stunning views over shark bay. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we enjoyed every minute of our 7 night stay here. We are already planning our return to beautiful Koh Tao and would definitly stay here again. The staff was so helpful - they provided us with a number of a taxi driver that drove us everywhere, they ordered us food, booked us trips, picked us up from the pier and drove us back there - the villa was cleaned every day - service was amazing. The taxi driver was on call for us pretty much 24 hours a day and we booked him for a trip around the island one day.

NorwayThis is paradise on earth! Nothing less. We have travellled a LOT. And there is no place like this place. We had a very comfortable stay. The beds were very comfortable, we had lots of space- the view is exceptional, this is by far the most beautiful spot on the Island. Very friendly hosts. Every staff member seamed to be there just for us. Dinner served in less than 30 minutes by take away at the restaurant del sol- good food as well. Massage at the house in 10 minutes after we called. Amazing massage at reasonable prices. Driver there at the spot, and he was a carefull driver and very attentive to our needs and showed around the entire Island as well as complimentary pick up and drop off at the pier. They have free coffe, tea and drinking water and snorkeling gear to loan, and guys- you need it here because it is some of the best snorkeling you can imagine, with babysharks and giant turtles and rainbow fish- at your doorstep. Five minutes walk to shark bay. Yes- there are downsides. (or for some upsides- our tweens ans teens loved this part) You are living in the jungle. You will see lots of scolopenders, ants, frogs and gekkoes. We even had a friendly spider visit. But it is all part of the Experience, and as long as you keep the doors closed and clear out your plates, you wont be troubled. Thank you so much for this amazing stay- a memory for life, and we will be coming back! And ps- there is even more to explore, they have yoga classes in house, diving lessons- tours, you name it. They even have nettflix- and good wifi, which is insane, as you are basically on an Island- in the jungle. Go- just go!

GermanyThe facility is a bit old, the swimming pump was broken after 6days stay, so there were many dead insects. AC is working but loud. I asked the cost of shark bay before coming and the response was 'free', but realistic is if staying the beach, no matter how long, 100B/person. that's why review score is '9'., sorry...
It is great and amazing view from the room and drinking water, the infinity swimming pool, the cleaner does great job everyday, Netflix, free internet, close to the shark bay (walking for 10 min), the size of room. we loved it.

Amazing flat, amazing view, everything was absolutely perfect. They picked us up from the airport, explained everything for us. The flat is on the hill so you have a beautiful view but it's a little bit away from the supermarket etc. You can rent a scooter and they will bring it to the flat and will catch it there as well.

United KingdomThe bed needs a mosquito net, or any mosquito protection, as we didn’t sleep with air conditioning and the mosquitoes bit us big time. We don’t drive motorbikes, the road to the hotel is the stiffest I’ve ever seen, cab price is arranged 300baths, but you need to think that transportation to the village is an additional cost, minimum 600baths per day, if you go out for dinner 1200 baths, that’s about 30€ more. Big handicap
Everything. Outstanding view, fabulous room layout, you could open all windows, all facing the sea view. Having a shower looking at the sea. The pool… I spent 2 days in that pool. Villa solana, 2 terraces, big living room area, kitchen(we didn’t used it), handy fridge, powerful speaker, Aircon and ceiling fans. Staff, professional and helpful, offering transportation or any service you can think of: massages in the room (we had them!), delivery food options (there is no restaurant), etc.
