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...).

FranceNoise at night from ?.?? One big spider second night OMG I M SCARED WITH lol
Very nice hotel sincerely. Nice room paint in good condition. Practical furniture. We have room for 2 suitcases. Large terrace. Safe. Good bedding. Functional bathroom with separation between the WC and the shower. Magnificent and maintained green spaces. Smiling staff (reception and restaurant .... but not maids). The hotel is well located near Freedom Beach and Shark Bay. It is also close to many points of view. Scooter rental on site with a good price. à la carte breakfast. Fantastic fruit juices (mango and mint or strawberries and mint). PADI diving center? not tested for personal reasons). Beach towels placed in the room. cleaning done every day. Payment made upon arrival. 2 problems only one of which is annoying: bad smell in the bathroom certain times of the day and .... a repetitive noise which comes from ??? Water balloons when someone activates the water? Or air conditioning? I think these are rams in the piping. The management offered to relocate to 1 other room we visited 4 and finally preferred to stay in our large clean room and with a beautiful terrace on the 1st floor. I will come back.

ThailandThe water was kept in the Dive Class office instead of an open accessible place. I couldn't access it at night when the office was closed. My room door knob wouldn't lock and opened in the night which led to mosquitoes in the room. The mattress has a rexine cover, so whenever one moves in bed, it makes a sound.
The view from the property is just awesome. One could just spend days at the property without venturing out. They have a nice restaurant that serves good food and drinks. The staff is polite.They offer free pick up from the port and also allow early check-in at no extra cost.

FranceThe person who checked me in could have been a bit friendlier and the mattress was very thin and hard.
The property is beautiful, located right on the beach it has a nice, chill vibe. The dorm room was super clean (I was alone) and the location, even though out of town is still accessible (about a 30/35 minute walk to the port) and there’s still shops and places to eat around.

United KingdomBusy dive boat
The place was buzzing with diver students. I liked the restaurant, bar The Cove overlooking the bay. Room was comfortable and clean. Went on a fun dive one day. Boat was quite busy, but the dive guide, Rod, was fab. He gave very clear instructions, both before the dives and under water.

SwitzerlandMany insects in the room & not really good quality of the accomodation in the room including the bed.
The hostel is nicely located directly at the sea and only a ten minutes walk from shark bay. However, the main bar street with the nightlife is pretty far away. The four-bed-room is really basic, and there are a lot of insects in the room, especially in the bathroom.

CyprusI would say a bit more effort could have been spent on making the restaurant food better value. It wasn't bad...but I certainly wanted a change after a couple of meals there.
So the location was fantastic. it is right on the beach....which is more than you can of most of the more expensive hotels in the area. And I would say Chalok Ban beach is a lot better and quieter than the main Sairree beach on Koh Tao. Genuinely beautiful.

GermanyI stayed in the shared room and the bed was very uncomfortable. I stayed only one night even though I booked two - the staff was very helpful about it. The reason was that I didn't want to stay in a shared place. As a solo traveller, I could not afford to stay in one of the bungalows but they looked really great.
This is a very beautiful place to stay. The design of the bungalows is very aesthetic, and the outside area, pool etc is taken care of. Very clean. Helpful staff. Amazing view from the front restaurant.

Portugalthe bungalow was comfortable and ideally sized however it needs of some improvements: no hooks or holders for towels and clothes; there is no division between the shower and the toilet; there is a very bad smell from the toilet that sometimes returns waste from third parties; the key did not lock the bungalow.
On a charming beach. Close enough to everything on the island (which can be explored easily by renting a scooter just outside the resort). Incredible and super well maintained common space - garden, swimming pool, beachfront area, restaurant. In front of the beach, with lots of nature. All amazing staff, very welcoming, professional and kind! Silent bungalow, comfy bed and nice wifi and AC.
