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...).

Good value for money. Nice and helpful staff. The Simple is simple but tasty - that applies to both interiors and breakfasts :) It is not near to the beaches, but a moppet / motorbike is a must here (the island) anyway, so you'll get everywhere within 10 minutes.

The only thing was the lack of swimming pool. The beaches only Look good but theres no option to swim there. There are hard rocks everywhere.
Super cosy place. Very clean. Nicely located very close to all the atractions in the city.

Very little not to like. A little out of the way from the busier east of the island - but very easy to get transport that takes no more than ten minutes
Modern, small and clean hotel on the West side of the island - not far from the Port. Excellent staff and in a good location to explore the island on scooter. Very good value for money including breakfast as part of price.

The only thing is that there's no area to just chill while outside, but while on the island you don't want to spend too much time at the hotel anyway.
The hostess was extremely helpful, 100/10. We had an accident on the island, she helped us a lot, came to the place where accident happened, helped me to get to the hospidal, sat with us for 3 hrs, ordered a lift back. Amazing treatment. All the people on the island were friendly, right next to the Simple there's a sweet cafe with amazing food and very sweet lady keeping it. The housing is, as the name reveals, very simple, but had everything we needed. Would recommend. The wifi worked better than the places we were on Bkk oh Phuket. We even had breakfast included, but we slept into that.

It would have been nice to have a pool but otherwise the location is great as you can get to both piers and beach in just a short scooter ride
The staff are super nice and very accommodating. The cleanliness of the rooms, daily cleaning and fresh towels were always available. The breakfast staff were so nice and made the best food.

I would have liked to seen better quality bikes available - these were a bit rusty and didn't change gear which was tricky when cycling up the hill.
Great location. Clean and basic. It has everything you need for exploring the island.

It was our best place in thailand. Very safe and clean and very nice staff (with good english). they helped us with any questions. Next to the place is the garden café with breakfast and good tips for exploring the island. The owner organised us a trip with locals to beautiful islands. There is also a shop that rents bicycles. For us this was the best way to travel the island. The company, that owns this place also has a resort with a private beach that we were allowed to use. We really miss this place.
