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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Very rough seas compared to other beaches. Lots of flotsam, jetsam and even oil compared to other beaches. Lamai beach would be the worst beach that I have seen in Thailand.
Clean towels and room clean every two days. Sheets changed every six days. Great location with regards the lamai night market and the beach. Hosts responded to all my concerns rapidly.

The room was quite dated, and could do with a bit of a refurb but for the price you pay it’s absolutely acceptable! We didn’t seem to receive housekeeping so it was difficult to get fresh amenities like toilet paper but we just bought some when we needed it
Samui guest house is in a fab location if you want somewhere quiet at night but still within walking distance of the night market and restaurants! Aircon was fab.

You have the night market not even 5 min away, walking. The beach is just past the night market, and it’s within proximity of anything you really need to get to within Lamai. Plus the smoke shop is open 24 hours if you’re looking for that.. so.. it’s overall very accommodating.

Cars, vans, vehicules parking in hotel yard with running engine! Noise, pollution!!! Why do they not switch off their engine???? Too difficult? Fuel too cheap? Bathroom needs repairs: water-leaks, water drainage at the wash-basin. Some light bulbs not working (terrasse...) TV: not working. It would be better to remove TV, in order not to loose time with working? or not working? (not especially here, the same in many hotels) No safe for valuables. In street: Very loud shoutings from publicity vans for boxing contest in Chaweng.
Nice and friendly staff Balcony: very pleasant to sit on balcony Good location Most of the times, quiet area.

I expected it to be closer to the main road, but it was quite far away. You can walk to the convenience store at night, but proceed with caution.
From here, you can get to Samui's main area, which includes a shopping mall and a few department stores. The location is ideal for a couple seeking peace and quiet.
