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...).

IrelandRooms are a little dated
The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is right on the beach and you can walk out straight onto the beach. There are communal showers and toilets which we could use on the day we checked out to freshen up later in the evening when we no longer had access to our room. Great location and comfortable.

United KingdomBed was uncomfy (too firm and hard) and room was very basic.
The location was incredible, right near the main port, near a 7eleven and close to cafes. Staff were extremely nice and really helpful especially the man on the reception. The view from the front was gorgeous. Good value for money.

IrelandCan't really say much as I stayed only for 2 nights.
Great location. Good for a short stay. There is a very nice beach, just a 5 min walk from the hotel with plenty of restaurants and little shops around. It's right beside the pier, which is great for someone who is on a move constantly when travelling.

United KingdomThe room wasn’t very big so not a lot of room to put luggage if you have loads. The shower is over the sink&toilet so everything in the bathroom gets absolutely soaked. The windows don’t close fully (they have nets to keep bugs out) but the volume from outside and the waves at night time are so loud. We slept with ear buds in every night due to the noise. The view from the balcony was like looking onto nothing but a brick wall unless you went upstairs and paid slightly more. Overall, not bad at all for the price, just notes to bear in mind.
Room was very clean, and can’t really complain for how cheap it was. Staff are super friendly and are very helpful with recommendations and helping with bike hire.

BrazilMy only issue is that our room window was facing the street and it can be a bit noisy on the weekend, bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper
Good location just outside of the Songserm pier. The place is clean and has good facilities. The room was big enough with a separate room to dry up clothes. We had a problem with the water supply due to a power outage but the staff quickly fixed that up when they were informed of the issue

United KingdomThe rooms were a little basic. The bathroom was a small wet room with the shower spraying directly at the toilet.
The location was ideal. Right next to the pier and leading straight onto a quiet corner of sairee beach. Walking distance into town for all the restaurants and shops. The bar area at the back of the property was a perfect spot for the sunset, with good value happy hour cocktails on offer. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful!

United KingdomMaybe a little noisy with bikes up and down a small road outside.
We stayed for 5 nights, yes it’s basic but a fantastic little hotel with amazing staff. It’s a budget hotel so don’t expect 5*, but it’s clean and in a good location for piers and beaches etc. It’s about 30min walk to main area but lots of bars and restaurants local to hotel. And this hotel is right on the beach - it’s has amazing sunsets.

United KingdomThe stay was a stones throw from the beach with a fantastic view from sun loungers upstairs and the bar below which is right on the sand. You can walk everywhere to restaurants, bars, and dive shops in minutes. The staff were so friendly and attentive from when we arrived to seeing them when walking around the hostel. We stayed in the non-air con room which was way too hot for us even with the fans, but one of the staff was very helpful in helping us set up the plug in fan to make it a bit more comfortable. Nonetheless the room was such great value at the price we paid. One night we could hear very loud music from one of the hostels or bars further down, but that comes with the nature of being so close to everything! Thank you for having us Sunrise Koh Tao, would recommend staying here
