Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe Dara Samui is in a very good location, far enough away from the noise, but only minutes away from shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms were lovely and the grounds too. It's right on the beach and has a nice pool, too. We had breakfast included, which had a very good choice and very nice too. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomSwimming pool was a bit small and seemed more decorative as opposed to swimmers. Wardrobe space in the rooms was lacking. For parts of the morning the beach could not be used due to the high tide so had to wait until post lunch to use the beach loungers
Breakfast choice was good. Beach location was very good. Dinner on the beach was great. Restaurant staff were attentive and always smiling

AustraliaThe uneven floor in the Bathroom, Toilet and shower, is a bit of a trip hazard, it pays to have a light on. The view from our Balcony was an old vacant lot from a Resort that had been demolished.
The Staff at Dara Samui were so welcoming and friendly, They made you feel very relaxed and the Breakfast was fantastic with a Chef cooking all wonderful dishes. Even though the accommodation was older, it is great Value for money. Great location to the night life.

United KingdomThe pictures of the beach on there website are deceiving as the tide is in pretty much all day, the only time the tide is out is from around 7pm onwards so during the day if you want to chill on the beach you'd have to go elsewhere.
Location was spot on in the middle of the busy chaweng strip, so walking distance to everything. The bed was super comfy and the breakfast had a huge selection to choose from including freshly made eggs, omelette and pancakes etc

United KingdomNo complaints, really. Only wish we'd booked for longer!
Wonderful staff all round! But must especially commend Nay for his engaging, excellent service poolside! and Tor at the bar for her thoughtfulness. A big thank you to Mas for making our stay extra special, and to Bobby, aswell, for his kindness. The New Year's Eve gala on the beach was such a treat! We'll remember it always. I regret I cannot recall everyone's name... reception staff were brilliant and the kind, cheerful porter was a great help with luggage and parking. Truly, a fantastic, caring team at Dara Samui!
