Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. 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...).

Cute common area, and even though our room was the garden view we still had a little window looking out into the ocean - so beautiful. The beach is just a few steps down and you feel like you have the beach all to yourself. So serene.

Palestinian TerritoryThe bed wasn't soft enough for my wife but I was ok with it. The restaurant closes at 8 PM which was too early for us.
It was a good location if you rent a motorcycle, which by the way you can rent from the resort itself. The staff is super nice and super helpful. Great sunset and beach for swimming. The resort provided free transportation to the new year party, which was very generous of them.

The food and drimks was good an well priced within typical Thai pricing, with no crazy touristy high prices. Although the staffs English was a little limited, they were super nice, helpful and kind. Great view.

United KingdomThe communal area/ restaurant was under construction so very loud sawing precluded being able to enjoy a drink or meal there during working hours. Also, I woke one night to find 7 cockroaches in my room / bathroom. They had come in through the hole for the drain in the bathroom. I don't think this problem is specific to Golden Beach but it kind of ruined my stay because I have a phobia of cockroaches.
Good location, nice staff, room had AC, fridge and kettle.

FranceWiFi was not very stable and did not always work properly from the bungalow, which was my main issue as I needed to work. But I was able to do so in the restaurant when needed. The property was not super well taken care of, as there was some rubbish a bit everywhere. However, this may have been related to the weather, as there were strong winds all through my stay and maybe also to some tourists not being super clean! ;-)
The bungalow was located right on the beach... what a stunning view! Sitting, reading and even working on the porch or in the restaurant was relaxing. I was able to check in a bit early, and I was offered to be driven to the pier upon departure for a cheaper price than a taxi ride, which was convenient, and I really appreciated it. Everyone was friendly and helpful, although discreet. The bungalow itself was very basic with the minimum furniture, the bathroom was small but clean and redone. There were indeed some insects as mentioned in other comments - a mosquito net would have been nice, but fortunately I had my own. I knew what I was booking so nothing came as a surprise, and this was the kind of experience I was looking for. It was nice getting back to what matters: simplicity! I liked the pad thai and scrambled eggs, and could easily walk to a few nice cafes and thai restaurants around. There is a nice lady selling fresh fruits not far away.
