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...).

MalaysiaVery nice place for relaxation, location is a bit far from Phuket… beach is nice… the only negatives is due to the beauty of the nature there were a lot of lizards and insects… not recommended for Muslim families as they offer Pork… we had to always eat outside the resort..

Beautiful hotel right on the beach front, lovely big pool and gorgeous gardens, lots of staff who always greet you with a smile and are happy to help. Location is a little out of the way but taxis are available and cheap, so only a small journey to town. Lovely calm destination for a relaxing break.

SwitzerlandReturning guests and another wonderful stay !! My husband and I have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions (former Manathai) and were so happy to return and to be greeted by a few friendly familiar faces, especially Wap who never fails to make our stay a special one. So thank you once again Wap, your commitment to providing exceptional customer service is truly part of the driving force behind the hotels success. We love everything about this resort. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained and the room service superb – a special thank you to Tao who serviced our room to perfection. The hospitality is extraordinary – all the guests are made to feel welcome and valued. The location is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. The beach is idyllic and uncrowded - the perfect place to relax.

Excellent staff service. They were always helping and trying to assist my requests. I was up quite early for morning run anf wanted to use gym but staff kindly let me in and used the gym before opening hour. Also, staff always helped cleaning and tidy room perfectly. Beach and swimming pool were fantastic to relax.

FranceBreakfast is satisfactory but nothing special; it's unoriginal and becomes repetitive after a few days. The staff is very friendly, but as the stay progresses, you sometimes notice a lack of experience among the hotel staff, which isn't up to the standard you'd expect for a hotel in this price range.
The hotel is located in an amazing area. The beach is beautiful and very untouched. The hotel is well designed, especially because it dedicates plenty of space to greenery. The setting is perfect for spending a few days with family and is very kid-friendly. The pool is really enjoyable, surrounded by coconut palms. The gardens are beautifully maintained.

United KingdomThe large number of children at the hotel was not a problem at in itself, but it did feel like as a result we (being an adult couple) were subsidising the guests who had children. The room price we paid was a little expensive (against those groups who were not paying much more to also have children with them), and the restaurant was overpriced - the buffet nights allowed children (under 12) to eat free, whilst all adults had to pay a high price. As a result we only ate once in the restaurant, and the quality then was average. The hotel advertises a number of policies (eg no towels to reserve sunbeds, only one beach towel per person per day, no taking food away from the buffet) but does little to impose them. To be fair to the staff this is partly due to language difficulties or the aggressive nature of some of the guests.
The location was perfect for us being away from any town, as we wanted relaxation. There are a number of reasonably priced beach bars nearby. The beach is wide with fine sand and a gentle gradient into the sea, so swimming was easy. The trees provide very good cover when at the beach. The staff are excellent. Especially Mint (who serviced our room), Baw (who introduced us to the gym) and Pim (on reception who was again helpful and efficient). The staff who were constantly cleaning the toilets near the pool (didn’t get their names) did an excellent job in difficult conditions. The guys on the beach also did a good job rearranging sunbeds. The breakfast is good with a wide choice and well stocked. We used the shuttle to Bang Niang which worked well. Our room was very spacious and the aircon worked well. Unlike a number of other hotels we had visited we were able to unpacked and store all our luggage in the cupboards etc.

MalaysiaIt is quite isolated, and not the cheapest to get to Khao Lak to find food. We knew this when booking, but it’s the only thing I can think of that we didn’t like.

United KingdomThe hotel describes itself as a 5 star. It’s not. It’s a good 4 star hotel. Service is good but not luxury. Not enough staff at reception or at beach! Bathroom toiletries basic. In a 5 star you would expect a high end brand with environmental values! All toiletries had to be ordered via app. We gave up! Beach towels are old and dirty! Would expect a better product. Sports equipment not enough of it! Detail to attention missing! No life guard !
Very nice hotel. Well maintained and very clean! Breakfast was good but was missing the special touch! Nice family hotel!
