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...).

FranceI was there at the end of the tourist season. The owners were really nice. They gave me some very good recommandations on what to do and where to go. The hotel is really great with a perfect sunset view from the rooftop. I really enjoyed staying there as well as the breakfast food (I really recommend to try at least once) and the bar (great cocktail ☺️). The position of the hotel on the island let you go anywhere quite easily as long as you have a vehicle, but it's also easy to catch a taxi. If I can, I'll certainly come back

The Hotel is nearby restaurant, laundry, good massages, rent scooter... The rooms is big and quiet. We stayed very good there and it's so calm. The breakfast are so tasty and with many options.

We had the pleasure of spending 9 wonderful days at the "Lazy Republique," and it was truly an exceptional experience. The owners welcomed us with such warmth and kindness, sharing their extensive knowledge of Koh Chang and effortlessly communicating in English, French, and Spanish. The entire team was incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. The rooms provided the perfect retreat for relaxation, and the location couldn't have been better—Lonely Beach was just a short walk away, and exploring the entire island on a scooter was a breeze. The pool and bar were delightful, offering a serene environment to unwind and enjoy the island vibes. Pilou's cocktails were a treat, and Fred's culinary skills were outstanding, adding a delicious touch to our stay. Their expertise truly enhanced our experience. If we ever had any questions, the owners and staff were always approachable and eager to assist. It's worth mentioning that breakfast is served from 8 to 11 a.m., and we loved being able to interact with the owner's cat, adding a charming touch to our stay. We look forward to returning to Koh Chang and staying at the "Lazy Republique" again. Thank you for providing us with such unforgettable memories! ♥️

NetherlandsThat we couldn’t stay longer since we had to fly back home
We absolutely loved our stay at Lazy Republique! The place is wonderful, the bungalows are very nice and comfortable and in contradiction to other places we’ve slept in Thailand: the beds are also very comfortable! Its located in a bit more quiet part of Koh Chang -which we really loved- surrounded by beautiful nature and the bird sounds really have a bit of a jungle experience. It’s close to nice restaurants and beaches and if you have a motorbike it’s very easy to explore the rest of the island. But what we loved the most about our stay are the absolutely amazing hosts! Fred and Pilou are the friendliest people who make you feel at home and we immediately felt so comfortable around them. They are very helpful if you need anything, make the most amazing breakfast and Pilou makes really good cocktails at the beautiful and cozy rooftop bar (with very nice view during the sunset!). I would definitely recommend this place and will 100% come back next time :)

GermanyWe found what we wanted to have - silent location but still everything easily reachable by a motorbike or a taxi. The resort has modern-looking minimalistic but tasteful individual huts in the silent location, on the boundary with a national park. It is ran by a french couple who were very accommodating, supportive and giving great tips! We felt very welcomed!

United KingdomOne of the highlights of our 7 months travelling. The owners were incredibly helpful and welcoming during our stay on Koa Chang. Location is near to an array of restaurants and stores. Few different beaches all 10 mins away walking or in a taxi. Breakfast each day was excellent and they have a lovely bar for socialising and watching sunset each evening. Rooms are clean, cosy and make you feel like you’re in the jungle. Merci beaucoup for everything Pilou and Fred. We hope to return someday!!!

SpainThe only downside of our stay was that we had to reluctantly continue our trip. We were so captivated by the place that we couldn't help but wish for a time-stopping device to extend our stay indefinitely. Pilou and Fred, if only you could have magically made our departure date disappear, we would have happily stayed forever, leaving all our travel plans behind!
The place is absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the beauty that surrounded us. The location offers a perfect blend of nature, with the nearby forest, mountains, and the sparkling sea, all embraced by a comforting sense of security. It truly feels like being in the heart of an exotic and untouched paradise. The owners of the place are simply delightful! Their warm and welcoming nature made us feel instantly at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional, providing us with invaluable tips and recommendations about the island and other must-visit places. Thanks to their guidance, we discovered a charming restaurant that will forever be etched in our memories; the food was nothing short of divine! A special shout-out goes to Pilou and Fred, the incredible hosts who made our experience truly unforgettable. Their genuine care and attention to detail surpassed all expectations. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet them and be their guests. They are without a doubt the best hosts we have ever encountered. In addition to the enchanting surroundings and wonderful hosts, the property boasts a magnificent swimming pool that was an absolute savior during the scorching midday heat. Taking a refreshing dip in the pool was an incredible way to cool down and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. And let's not forget the lovely garden, adding an extra touch of serenity and natural beauty to the whole experience. Overall, discovering this place has been an extraordinary stroke of luck. We are filled with gratitude for the remarkable experience and the memories we have created. This is truly a place that leaves an indelible mark on one's soul. Thank you again to Pilou and Fred for creating such a haven of beauty and hospitality.
