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...).

ItalyEverything was beyond perfect! Great location and quiet at night. Very good communication with the owner. Spacious and VERY clean room, good mattress, TV with Netflix and YouTube, sofa, fridge AC. We had room B and it was wonderful! Nice balcony where you can sit in the morning and have breakfast overlooking the Tsunami museum. Friendly family owned place. Very good housekeeping. Facilities downstairs for those who want to prepare their breakfast. Complimentary water, tea and coffee. We rented a scooter for a month in very good condition. Excellent quality/price.

Good, central location, close to the market and lots of restaurants. But at the same time quiet, we had a room with a hill view.

United KingdomThe only thing was that there was a bit of a weird smell in the toilet and shower, it wouldn't go away during our stay.
The host and her son are lovely, very helpful and kind. The room is clean and tidy, and the toilet is ok. The location is about 20 minutes walking from the beach, in the quiet side of Khao Lak and next to the Tsunami Museum. There are a couple of bars, and 7-eleven very near. They offer day tours, motorbike rental and laundry service.

United StatesThe room smelled like sewer. Unfortunately, most hotels in Thailand have an issue with their plumbing which creates gases that rise up and creates a smell in the room. Really uncomfortable.
Close to the Market. Interesting set up for a family of 4.

The woman at the reception was just as lovely as you can imagine. Her english wasn't great, but she tried really hard and my thai was non existing. So I'm very happy we could still communicate. She made our stay perfect and I had a real great sleep. We enjoyed the morning coffee and she even put a fan in our AC room. It is very close to the night food market and a great experience. We also rented a motorbike from there and booked our next trip from Mind Home.

SwitzerlandThere were no other travelers, I guess is not their fault. Khao lat doesn’t seem to be a backpacker destination. Saw mainly families & elderly germans in town. Also, diving season coming to end didn’t help. Hostel is on a dark street, felt uncomfortable on first night, but second got more courage to get back alone. Would’ve liked my private room be cleaned more often. But, other than that is a very good adress to stay at. Thank you so much for everything :).
The staff are always willing to help you no matter what difficulty you might encounter, beds are super comfy and not far from Main Street where bars, restaurants and dive shops are !
