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.).

ThailandThere are rocks and coral close to the beach - especially at low tide, so be careful when you go out to the ocean. For a family visiting, this would not be a deal breaker if you are deciding to visit this hotel.
The area is quiet, the beds were really comfortable, breakfast was good and large portions and the food at the restaurant was good too for other meals. The beach was also nice at low tide. Transportation from the pier and back was convenient too. Beach towels were provided for beach access and the reclining chairs were nice too. lovely breeze in the evenings. There was an excellent fire show when we were there too. The restaurants close to the hotel are hit or miss. I would recommend not eating at the one right beside the hotel.

AustraliaUnderstandably, language was a barrier to communicate effectively our dietary requirements.
The resort is located in a quiet side of the Island. Plenty of options for restaurants. Staff was absolutely wonderful and eager to make our stay a good one. Beautiful gardens and places to walk to along the beach. Easy to move around the Island in taxies.

ThailandThe only let down was the rather sparse breakfast which wasn't cooked too well, my egg was that under done I'm sure the poor chicken who laid it had not missed it yet, I had the smallest cup of coffee I have ever seen in my life and no offers of a refill, I think they frightened the bread with the toaster the result was two slices of very stale bread, and the selection of seasonal fruit was some dry pineapple and some watermelon. All in all a very poor attempt at a breakfast
The food in the evening was very good, not the cheapest, but good choice. The room was very spacious and very clean, the aircon worked fine and certainly no complaints on the accommodation.

GermanyThere are no beach towels. There are no toiletries.
Free transfer from the pier. The room is quite spacious, fridge, kettle and mugs. Towels were changed every day, bed linen every other day. Wi-Fi is free, stable, even reaches the beach. There are enough sunbeds if you are busy in the morning, before the guests arrive on the island. The restaurant is good, but the menu quickly tried everything. Prices are the same as in other restaurants on the beach. Smart TV. The beach is gorgeous, the water is crystal clear. The people are moderate during the day and no one in the morning and evening. The underwater world is not rich, but the inexperienced swimmer will have something to see.

ItalyRoom not kept well. No attention to details. The latch on the door was mounted wrong and the door would not close unless you pushed the thing in with your finger. Mold in the bathroom. Very young personnel, very very poor English level :(
The location is unbeatable, right by the beach. Also at least one good restaurant near by. Scooter rental.

ThailandFor a beach club that boasts of 70+ rooms, only actually provided 14 sun beds on the beach. Obviously, they had been 'towelled' by 9 am, although not sat on much all day, meaning an extra 300 baht /day, to hire beds further up the beach where it was very busy with all the day tourists etc.
Great location at the end of a busy beach. Pick up from the pier was great. Food was okay, but no spice! Rooms were lovely and bed was very comfy.

AustraliaRooms on Booking .com show water views and rooms on the water, that was the reason for booking this motel for our stay, also messaged the motel and requested that for the 2 rooms booked. Our rooms had no water or beach outlook and were behind another building 80M from the beach!
Beach is great, rooms nice, staff great, breakfast good, motel pick up from pier service great.

The location is as described. Lots of trash does wash up on the beach and you should use caution with little ones. We found glass bottles.
