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...).

MalaysiaThe breakfast buffet. Please do something about the taste. I have read from reviews about the food in Taaras since many years ago. Luckily you have variety of coffee during breakfast and helpful staffs.
I like everything about the property. I never been to any resort that gives many things complimentary. Free hi tea for two. I thought just a simple welcoming drinks but no. Buffet style hi tea, virgin mocktails and food. Free mini bar in room. Free kayak. Free soft copy photo by photographer. Free pool table game, foosball. Usually we need to put coins to play. Everything i need was in the room. Complete. I don’t need to call and ask this and that. I love it has coffee machine in the room. Room was spacious. They just charged for the extra bed and breakfast for my kids with affordable price. All the staffs were friendly and attentive. Most of all, the view there was breathtaking everywhere. ❤️

MalaysiaThe breakfast was underwhelming despite how much we paid for it. I booked three rooms with all the same price but three of them comes in different condition. for example, my room has a smart tv but my sibling doesn’t have and the bathtub was dirty. other than that, the food service is a little slow. maybe because they were under staffed.
The location, the beach and the people was great.

Vietnam1- The food in the buffet restaurant. To me that's the key improvement they could do. 2- They need to make sure rooms are very clean before new guests arrive. 3- the beach chairs should be clean as well and organised every morning before guests come to the beach. They do a good job cleaning the beach around 7am every day but forget to prepare the chairs.
1- The beach and the ocean is amazing. Soft white sand beach and the ocean so clear. It is really good to go with children, because most of the time the ocean in the Hotel private beach is calm, shallow and perfect for kids to play. 2- The room is pretty and modern furniture. Good quality materials: Wood floor, marble in the bathroom. 3- The staff is super nice and they try their best to help. Always with a smile. 4- The diving recreation center is excellent. We went for turtle and coral snorkelling and my kids loved it. 5- They have a turtle research center and the children can see the little turtles hatching. 6- The beach was cleaned every morning. 7- Even though the hotel was in full capacity the beach wasn't crowded because the hotel offers so many activities to do around. 8- In house Photographers that do complimentary guests photoshoot during their stay (you get one photo for free and buy the rest if you like the result).

CanadaGetting to the property is a nightmare-1 hr flight from KL to nearest city - TGG, 40 mins drive to jetty and 40 mins by boat to Redang island. There is a specific schedule for transfers from airport to jetty and jetty to Redang island. And if you are not in time for schedule or flight delay you can spend a whole day in transit. Plus all prices are Taaras overpriced. Staff struggle with English. Food is just average. There is no life outside of the hotel - so stuck in hotel.
Great clean beach, good spacious rooms, extensive breakfast. Clean.

GermanyThe resort is old and outdated, smelly bathrooms, unreliable housekeeping ( come either in the morning or in the evening. You never know). The service staff is not attentive. All in all the resort is good for children but you definitely do not get your money’s worth. I can not recommend. Food choice is limited and not good as well. Rice for example isnt properly cooked….

MalaysiaTaaras charged the prices of a top end resort, but didn't quite deliver. The food was ordinary and no one was quite able to explain what our package inclusions were. That aside, the important stuff was done.
The island itself is lovely. White sand, crystal clear waters, chance to swim with turtles and snorkel a colourful coral reef. Couldn't ask for much more.
