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...).

The staff were outstanding! Everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly. They booked multiple taxis, snorkelling tour, scooters and ferry for us - all at a very reasonable rate and it was charged at the end which made it so easy. Breakfast was amazing - various options and pancakes/ omelettes made fresh to order. The restaurant was lovely and reasonably priced The rooms were spotless with daily room service

United KingdomWe hired some snorkels from the hotel, the quality was poor - just purchase your own if you would like to snorkel - that is my only complaint.
This accommodation was breath taking! Honestly felt like paradise. The room was amazing, very spacious and traditional decor. We particularly liked the bathroom; showering in the outdoors. We used room services numerous times, food always excellent. Spa was lovely, both had a couples massage which was high standard. Staff were very accommodating, arranging transport and providing necessary advice. They made you feel like you were the only people there. The views are incredible, we would return to this accommodation when we visit Ko Tao again.

GermanyPotentially lot of stairs to walk between restaurant/beach and your room, hope you are in shape 😉
It's incredible nice how they offer you extra services (bike rental, taxi, snorkeling, ferry tickets, etc) for the same price as negotiating yourselves on the street! Usually it's double price when booking in the hotel, but here they really want you to have an awesome stay! It's a 10min scooter ride to the pier or nice other bays and viewpoints. The rooms are cleaned everyday, beach towels provided. I'm not leaving reviews very often, but here it's really worth to mention :)

United StatesHad an ocean view room, had high expectations, and it exceeded them. The pool was great, so was the restaurant, an easy walk to the closet beach which had more food options as well. Rented snorkel gear and got a taxi over to Shark Bay which was well worth the trip. Walked away very satisfied with my choice of where to stay.

FrancePerhaps the restaurant (lunch and dinner), we were a bit disappointed.. not that tasty as the overall thaï restaurants (same for the cocktails), and a little sewers smell from the shower but nothing too much disturbing itself
Incredible view, a club directly in front of the sea. Amazing view from seaview (room with sea view). A quiet place as I never any knew. Nice pool with a little private beach. Lovely staff and helpful (one of the many qualities of thaï people). Beautiful club nestled in the jungle, everything was open (except the room of course), so we felt like living in the nature.very Nice breakfast

SwitzerlandThe only thing was that the transats behind the swimming pool were not cleaned and as we had quite some rain they were wet and full of leaves, not possible to use this place. This is understandable on the day it rains, but the days after the rain these chairs were not cleaned.
The hotel is very well run, everything is good organised. Rooms are cleaned every day, breakfast is outstanding with freshly made waffles and pancakes. Possibility to rent scooters through the hotel. Arrival with a well appreciated welcome drink and cold towel to refresh. Transfer included from ferry. We had seaview bungalows, great views and good bathrooms. It was nice to be able to have dinner in nearby restaurants to be reached through the beach. We had a great dinner at the restaurant Ananas.

SwedenVery very beautiful pool villa, all the staff was so kindly and friendly. All around the resort is so soothing and you are around nature all the time. They also have motorbikes for rent, is the easiest way for you to go from the resort to the main road. I got a surprise proposal there also, the staff fixed many flowers and stuff and everything was just beautiful. Thank you.

AustriaA wonderful accommodation! We had a beautiful pool villa. Everything is very clean and well-maintained! You can choose whether to have breakfast delivered to the villa or dine in the restaurant. The food is excellent. You can easily rent a scooter directly through the hotel staff. We also had the hotel organize our ferry tickets, and they were even cheaper than if we had arranged them ourselves. The transfer from the pier to the hotel and back was free, all we had to do was provide the arrival time. We would definitely come back!

AustraliaThe only tiny thing that could be improved is perhaps buying some more snorkel sets so that everyone staying at the hotel has the opportunity to use the snorkels :)
The garden and plants throughout the hotel grounds are beautiful. You feel like you're walking through lush jungle vegetation. The pool was really nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided us with some great recommendations during our stay.

PolandWe spent 3 nights there and we loved it! The Deluxe double room has amazing views on the bay and plants. The room and bathroom are not very spacious but they are satisfactory and very clean. There was hot water in the shower very quickly, the WiFi also worked well. Breakfast was delicious (especially fresh pancakes!). We also ordered some pad thai for lunch and cuba libre - the prices were higher than in regular restaurants but still I definitely would recommend it. The resort has easy access to the beach and we walked to the wider bay beach for 10 minutes where we rented snorkeling gear (the resort offers it as well) and went snorkeling. I would love to go there again and I recommend this resort to all my friends!
