How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewStaff were very accommodating and friendly, rooms felt very clean and setting was idyllic.
Perhaps not the most ideal place to stay during the low season as it is quite isolated from most open amenities, especially if you do not want to hire a scooter. Not a property issue, though!

Verified review-Very friendly staff. -Great breakfast and large taste dinner portions, the fruit juices are really delicious and large. -Very nice location right on the Long beach. We counted 30 people on the beach at the max, so just Perfect. -Beautiful sunset from the bar and restaurant area. -Quiet but a lot of excotic "jungle" sounds. Birds and so on. - Great sun block products to buy, in the reception area. - Home made brew of a very good quality. Even home brewed pineapple "champagne" and ciders. - Several very interesting people to meet there. Adventureous people. The Ziggy Stardust Resort on Koh Phayam, really made our trip to Thailand! Highly recomendable.
- A bit hard matresses and pillows (we are Europeans :) ) but this is Thai style we guess. - We stayed in low season, so some more accurate information about the speed boat times in low season, would be recomended. We nearly lost our connection flight in Ranong due to this.

Verified reviewIncredible location and the staff were so friendly and helpful.
It was noisy. Lots of families with small babies. Would have appreciated if there had been a more family friendly area of bungalows. No one cleaned our room for 5 days either.

Verified reviewIt was the second time we stayed at Ziggy and we really enjoy its central location on the long beach and the staff is very nice as usual. Bed is comfortable! The new breakfast buffet is very good (I would just suggest to not put fruit and onions in the same department :)
The price we paid was not reasonable and really not worthy the small and out-dated room in the shared bungalow house. We had to take it since the island was booked out, but it felt not fair to pay this much and ruined a bit the vibe this island stands for. We received much more value (whole bungalows with huge terraces and clean and bigger hangout spaces) for the same price on other resorts the days before that we also booked spontaneously.

Verified reviewUnfortunately, we cannot assess the quality of this accommodation in detail, as we were unable to make use of our four-day booked and paid stay. However, we can share our shocking experience regarding the customer service and family-friendliness of this resort. We booked one of the small, beautiful wooden bungalows for our last four vacation days for 2,700 Baht (approx. €78) including breakfast, as our five-year-old daughter sleeps on a small mattress we bring with us, and we therefore do not need a large family room. As always on our trips in Thailand, we booked the bungalow for two adults via Booking.com. In a few accommodations, a small additional fee for our daughter is requested upon arrival, which is acceptable. The usual surcharge for a child in this resort is 500 Baht per night, which is around €15. However, upon arrival, this accommodation did not ask for the usual 500 Baht but instead demanded 1,500 Baht (€43) per night extra, just so our daughter could sleep on our brought-in mattress in the small bungalow. The owner justified this price by saying that we had not registered our daughter in advance when making the booking. This amounts to a surcharge of more than 50% of the already paid bungalow price—without any additional service (as we brought the mattress ourselves)! Aside from the fact that the bungalow price was already relatively high (this was our fifth stay on Ko Phayam), we could not understand this surcharge and reasoning in the slightest, especially since our booking method had never been an issue at any other resort. Since we refused to pay this excessive surcharge, we had no choice but to find another accommodation. We did not receive any refund from the already paid amount (€309). We are absolutely shocked and disappointed by this experience, and we have never encountered anything like this before.

The bed wasn’t the most comfortable for me (just a personal preference, I prefer a firmer mattress and pillows)

Verified reviewThis property was absolute perfection from the details in the bungalows to the specifically curated menu. And then the staff was just top-notch! The location of the property was close to other bars and restaurants along the beach that allowed for a variety of options when it came to entertainment. The staff was so kind., especially Bom, who went out of his way to help me with anything that I had asked. The breakfast was amazing every morning, and the pineapple and mango smoothies were the best on the island (and I tried one at nearly every spot I went to). The eco-conscious aspect of this property, including the most amazing body and hair products really made staying here in extraordinary experience. I will definitely be staying here again in the future!
There was nothing that I did not like about the property. I would stay here again.

Verified reviewWell set up bungalows, has aircon but also fan and fly screens on windows so can open windows. Security box, hot water, good size balcony, hose at base of steps to wash feet, hammock on balcony. The bed has mattress topper on it so very comfortable. The resort has a lot of trees so all areas well shaded including restaurant which overlooks the beach. Breakfast has good selection and menu is varied. Staff are excellent, will be returning.
Mosquitos are full on at sunset but staff supplied spray.

Nothing about Ziggy itself, but there sure were some grumpy tourists! Walk right past without a smile or hello. How? At such a relaxed place. Anyway enough of my rant! I loved it.
