Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

IsraelThe stuff was incredibly lovely, especially Leon, who was remarkable and answered every of our request quickly, Kelvin, Johnny, Yamin, from the reception were also so nice and kind, and Zue Zue, every morning brought us the delicious and great breakfast, and was so gentle, so warm and we could feel his kindness and the high level of service even from the way he put our plates on the table. I especially want to thank all those of the above for their service.The tent was magnificent, incredible view and also the location itself is really amongst the best in the island. All in all, we had an amazing time, and the stuff even made it better. ( Even though just the place and the view could be amazing by its own). Highly recommend! Surly will come back!

ThailandWe stayed not long enough.
The large tent has an indoor and outdoor living space. Your nest on the hillside overlooking the whole bay, seeing the weather change boats arrive and go and the amazing bird life. I read that this place was called 9 hornbills because a long time ago the rare birds, nine of them, were seen here. I understand talking to the staff that in the meantime the population of these Horn bills have grown thanks to an effort of the local people providing suitable breeding places. Tasteful design the tent all in massive teak wood and comfortable especially the oversize large bed which comes in handy when you’re above average height and your feet are not sticking out. There is a decent private pool at each tent where they also serve breakfast if you care for that . We found it exceptional value for money , so come in the less busier times like now. You have access to its sister Resort, Koyao Island Resort, and use all the facilities, like stand-up paddle kayaks bikes, et cetera. It is an easy walk or if you prefer a buggy ride. Their Thai food is outstanding, we tried also a few international dishes which were impeccable. Good wine selection, very reasonably priced I enjoyed the most that there is a special tent as a shared working space, pictures attached, so I could do some of the necessary. There’s also a gym which is basic, but it has all what you need. You can double up as a yoga space as well, with gorgeous views over the bay.

ThailandA magical stay above the bay! Set high on the hill with panoramic views over Phang Nga Bay , absolutely breathtaking. The private pool with its outdoor terrace was the perfect spot to relax, and the luxury tented villa was such a unique and beautifully styled experience. It was the ultimate place to completely rest and recharge. Breakfast served in the pool was a stunning highlight — like something out of a dream. And the best part? I actually saw hornbills right in front of my villa’s garden. Wow. Truly unforgettable.

NetherlandsFacilities are a bit tired and not very clean in the areas outside of the tent. Mosquitos and lizards in the tent, frogs in the shower. AC right above the bed which makes it difficult to use at night. Guests can't switch lights in the pool in front of their tent - these are controlled centrally and do not get off, so you end up sleeping with blue light pouring into the room.
Proximity to nature, great views over the bay, rustic & relaxed atmosphere, including at the beach. Nice restaurant and spa. Off beaten tourists paths. Kind staff (but you need to ask for what you need, and sometimes follow up)

Switzerland- Exceptional views towards the Bileh Archipel Marine park - Hideaway in the nature with full privacy (ideal for honeymoon couples and long married) - Spacious tent with private pool: very nicely equipped, very clean, tastefully designed and furnished - just out of the ordinary - I liked that we were able to enjoy the phantastic beach, pool and restaurant of Koyao Island Resort (the two locations belong together) - We had a magnificant breakfast served to our private pool - Right next to extra luxuary resort of Six Senses, but with very affordable and fair rates - they care a lot about environmental friendliness - we liked the free available bicycles, kayaks and SUP's

SwitzerlandSecluded and completely private Robinson Crusoe paradise. If you just want to forget about the rest of the world and run around naked all day while sunbathing and taking dips in the pool it can’t really get any better. We wanted to end our trip in Thailand with some peace and quiet and a place to ourselves. During our 4 weeks in Thailand we were mostly disappointed with the accommodations in relation to the price, however this time we were positively surprised. The view, tent, jungle and pool were fantastic, the service impeccable. With the driver, who is conveniently summoned by a WhatsApp message to the front desk, you are pretty much anywhere in the resort in no time. Food and drinks were delicious. There is a small shop for snacks between the resort and the tended camp. Bike rentals are included so you can easily travel the vicinity…which is, however, not necessary, as the camp is so beautiful that most of the time we wanted to stay in our little piece of paradise and not ever leave. Also it has the best beds i’ve ever had in any hotel ever. All in all it was a fantastic stay, 10/10 would recommend any time.

ThailandNothing to report since we totally enjoyed our stay. We read a couple negative reviews about this resort but feel that these reviews missed the plot.
The villa was very private and the views were spectacular. The service staff were genuinely friendly and attentive to all our requests. The food menu had a great combination of both Thai and western cuisine. The romantic dinner served at our own tent was good value and 5 star quality. I would highly recommend taking the speedboat transfer to and from the resort to enhance your experience. Overall we would highly recommend this resort to others and we will return ASAP. P.S. The hornbills that we spotted were beautiful and we understand how the resort was named.

IsraelIt was disappointing 😞 The 9 hornbills placed so so far from the resort, lonley in a jungle it's so scared, the private pool not clean. We can't stay there and moved to resort room, but also we can't sleep all the night because of the insects and frogs everywhere The door with no key, anyone can enter the room anytime, it's not safety We booked 2 nights, but can't stay there more than one night ): I don't recommend this place, it's so expensive, uncomfortable and no safety
