How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBaan Thara Guesthouse is a great place to stay in Ao Nang if you like to be outside of the hustle and bustle a bit. Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They helped us with transport to Koh Lanta, gave us free cold water nearly daily and even brought home a fruit basket for us.
There is nothing not to like. I would only say that it's a bit outside of the main centre in Ao Nang (which was perfect for us). The facilities are great and clean! Yes, the front facing rooms get hit by the traffic noise and dog barking when the mosque starts at 5am. Easily avoided if you ask for a room facing the back. Definitely worth a visit!

Verified reviewWe had such a lovely stay here. The staff are very friendly (especially the man) and everything felt extremely home like. We did some washing which was done within 6 hours which was very convenient. Room is exactly as described very clean and tidy. The towels smelt amazing too. As it is low season there was not many people about and I think the hotel was very quiet. It’s a little out the way via walking but grabs were extremely cheap and took less than 5 minutes. Alternatively you could walk to the beach in 10/15 minutes and the tourist area in around 20 mins but you have to walk down a busy main road.
Had to get grabs to and from

Verified reviewThe room was as described, perhaps even larger than I expected. It had a refrigerator, air conditioning, a kettle, and even a safe for valuables. The staff was always super friendly and eager to accommodate my needs. I was also able to rent a scooter for a whole month. The beach is only about 700 meters away. I enjoyed my stay. Thank you for everything!
If you are a light sleeper, the muezzin's call to prayer can wake you up at 5 a.m. and all the wild dogs around you will join in with their barking. The guesthouse is not to blame about it. Earplugs can help.

Verified reviewThe room was really clean, comfortable, bug, bright and accessorized. The owners were the most welcoming and smiley people we met and they were so kind to give us also the bike to reach the city centre, not so far away from the accommodation.
Nothing, everything was amazing!

Verified reviewThe staff were really lovely and chill. The rooms are basic but clean and large with good lighting. There are loads of authentic and cheap Thai restaurants within walking distance. So much better than the touristy ones in Ao Nang centre. Definitely worth staying out here if you want somewhere away from the main tourists but still only a couple of min to the beach by scooter.
Some rooms face the main road so if traffic noise is a concern probably message them asking for one that doesn’t face this way.

The room is spacious and the neighbourhood filled with local delicious food. Special thanks to Lek, for helping us navigate the province with a big smile and a kind heart.

Verified reviewThe bedding was sooo clean & fresh, the bed was very comfortable. Good size room, good bathroom with a shower curtain. 15 minute walk to a quiet beach, 25 minute walk to Ao Nang Landmark night market, which was very good. There is a 7-eleven a couple of minutes away along with a couple of restaurant's
A little bit too far away from the action for us

Verified reviewThis is a gem of a find. Large spacious room, plenty of storage and large and powerful shower. Air con was amazing. Location wise, 10 minute walk to the beach and 15 to the night market although plenty of food places and shops on the door step. Would definitely recommend staying here. I would happily have paid more than I did for our 4 nights.
Nothing. It was great.
