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 KingdomPool, lovely size and, they are having issues with cleaning and trying a temporary system. Fingers crossed it works, was cloudy at times. General areas, are a little unkempt, we thought added to the charm, but others may not.
Location - great feet from the crystal clear sea. You can walk into for ages and just chill! Some bars/restaurants and supermarkets within 10 mins walk but a scooter is a must. Bungalow - lovely, clean and everything you need. The only negative for us is that it is a king bed. The room is small so I would prefer a normal double. The balcony was great to relax on too. Staff - helpful and easy to get along with good food too.

It is very conveniently located in the southern part, close to the thong sala pier and haad rin beach. Property has a private beach, swimming pool, and bunglows type set up.

AustriaFirst Villa Beach Resort is located directly at the beach. They help you renting a Scooter easily (and a Scooter is recommended to drive around the island). We've been there to visit the Full Moon party - they help you organize the Taxi (300 bath / person which is totally fine). We had an amazing stay and would come back immediately.

CanadaWe also booked it because the pool looked great. However, the pool was not functioning properly. It turned green on our second day there and it was not good for swimming.
The location on the beach was why we booked it, and we were not disappointed. The rooms were all clean and everything was in working order.

PolandMold and ants in the bathroom.
I like this place very much. I have been there before and now received an nice upgrade. Staff is extramely nice and helpful. Maybe toilet in villa is not the best (a little mold around the bathtub) but its worth money. View from the garden is georgous, swimming pool is clean. Meals are sooo good. A motorbike is needed there because is quite far from the city. I will come back there for sure.

We stayed here for 4 days and we did enjoy our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful and are so quick to organise bikes/taxis when you need. The room itself is a little outdated but does the job. The shower pressure was awful and there was two lizards in our room but that’s what’s expected when staying in a room like that near the beach.
