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...).

Bit quiet, we like places with bit more going on. But that’s just the area not the property.
Good location - opposite 7/11. Very basic but solid gestures (air on was good, tv was good, shower pressure/temp was good).

There was an island wide power cut during our stay. Unfortunately, this seemed to affect the water too, as after this, once the power was back on, the shower did not have any pressure and would not get hot at all. The room was very small. Sound seemed to travel easily, especially with other guests coming back late at night
The location was good as it was a short walk to the pier and beach.

would recommend choosing air con room if available. only had fan availability when we booked, was very warm and stuffy and didn’t sleep well (not a problem was aware of this when booking)
Good location, right across from 7-11 and near ferry and lots of restaurants. clean and comfy rooms. Hot water and Wi-Fi both good. Shared bathrooms kept clean. Perfect if your on a budget

can’t comment much on the property as there was an overbooking issue however the host was amazing and sorted everything out without any hassle at all and moved us to what was actually a room upgrade in a location just around the corner from the original booking so all worked out better for us, host kept us updated and informed via WhatsApp and was great to talk to in person as he actually seemed interested in what we were up to on our trip

shared toiltes are horrible (on 4th floor): - literally no idea where to hang towel, or toilet paper or shampoo (everything is wet, or dirty and I didn't want to place my clean towel on top of the wc) - broken wc (if they want, very easy to fix....) - sinks broken and/or dated - always almost no toilet papers
good location comfortable bed and pillows nice view (we had a room on 4th floor, sea view) deck, chair and wardrobe free refill water clean room every 3days hot shower close to 7/11 and main road, but not noise

Bathroom was not the cleanest, shower got warm but not much pressure. We didnt have our room cleaned or towels changed once in our 4 nights stay.
Good location, walkable from the ferry docks. Near a great moped shop and across from 7/11. Beds were comfy although very small. Fridge in room. Luggage hold and laundry service available. Great basic room for the price.

The room was a touch small. Bed was very firm so not that comfy. Shower head was fixed quite high and lots of flies got into the bathroom (we just kept the door closed).
For the price we paid it was exactly what we expected a budget room. A decent location close to the port, but 25 mins from bars in Sairee beach. Hotel staff were helpful. Shower was good. Room also had a fridge.

Lack of cleaning the rooms- only happens after three days.
Perfect for the cost, clean bedroom, great aircon and not noisy considering it’s on the main road. Our boat was cancelled so we were a day late and they were really understanding.

They never emptied our trash bin in the 3 nights we were here. The second day we asked for new towels, but they said they ran out of towels. The tap was loose. The bed was hard.
Location, wifi and cleanliness were good. About the room was fine but many things that could be improved.

Maybe to be in a flat in Koh Tao is not the best experience, but it was convenient for us.
Good size of the room, good price for ac room, nice views from our room. It was rainning a lot so it was good to have netflix too. Clean.

No toilet paper. Make sure to bring your own. Didn't try to ask them cause I had one in my bag. How wet I believe they would give you.
For the price and lack of Avalibilty in the end of the year I found it comfortable. You have AC, Hot water, clean two towels, TV and curtains. Bed is clean. Soaps and shampoo. Location is great I think it's the best location for places I've been here. Close to the seven eleven. Laundry service.

The noise. Unfortunately it is quiet noisy from the main road and guests talking in the corridors. I had a room right next to reception, so probably was the noisest room.
Central basic rooms with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Bed, fridge, tv, no kettle but hot water and coffee outside. Great hot water shower with pressure.

Only offers housekeeping every 3 days, but not a big issue for us as we were barely in the room.
Perfect location, rooms were cosy and bed was very comfy, the free water was also brilliant. When we got there the aircon was leaking a lot and the shower wasn’t working, we told reception and within 20 minutes both were fixed and worked well for the rest of our stay (5 nights), which was brilliant. Not very noisy so could easily sleep, and the room was really clean, we really enjoyed our stay
