Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe only trouble we had was finding reception when we first arrived. Look out for the ‘DD Huts’ sign on the opposite side of walking street to the villas. It’s on the highest part of the hill. Don’t go downhill again.
The lighthouse apartment is amazing! The private pool and swing seat are a godsend in the evening after a day’s diving or exploring. The property is perfectly located between diver’s city near the port and the quieter end of Sairee beach. There are plenty of great cafes, restaurants and bars within a couple of minutes walk either direction, without being in the middle of backpacker/student city at the far north of the beach. The staff are lovely, there is a scooter rental place directly outside and there is a free taxi offer back to the ferry on checkout.

From the time we arrived, to the time we left everything was great! Staff were lovely and friendly and couldn’t do enough for you, room was fab a real holiday seaside vibe! The pool is stunning! Snorkelling of the private beach was incredible! We are at the restaurant and it was 10/10 for food, service and location! Breakfast was the best we have had in Thailand! We want to stay longer but they were sadly fully booked!

CanadaEverything! The property is small but gorgeous. Infinity pool has incredible views. Beds were comfortable. Staff was great. Access to the beach where we snorkeled right out front. Ate at the restaurant the first night; however it was closed and under construction for the rest of our stay. But there are many other food options only steps away.

United KingdomNothing, loved it all. Great value for money
Lovely hotel, very friendly staff. Specifically Tan on reception, extremely helpful and great customer service. We arrived late due to the ferry being delayed and the staff waited for us and welcomed us with a drink and flannel. Personally I think this hotel deserves more than 2 stars! We stayed in the Superior King Room, the bed was extremely comfy and the room offered everything we needed. Lovely seats outside too with a view of the pool. Very bright and in a great location. The restaurant at the bottom of the hotel path was also extremely good, would highly recommend this.

We were located in the private lighthouse villa for our anniversary where we had our own private pool! It was an amazing location and we had a fantastic view. All the staff were so friendly and had a good variety for breakfast too.
