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):
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.
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.).

United StatesRoom was a bit small, and the shower was weak. Also there was a leak in the bathroom and I slipped and almost fell down.
Great room, very close to beach. Staff at front desk were extremely helpful and awesome. Helped us with taxi and anything else. Can walk everywhere from here. Picturesque. Cute cats and dogs walk by. Great porch to relax in and dry clothes. Good value.

IrelandNot the property’s fault but there was construction going on right beside our room for a separate building and it would start quite early in the morning and continue all day so there was a bit of noise pollution but other than that our stay was perfect.
Such a beautiful accomodation, if I ever come back to Koh Tao I know I will be staying there! The room with the sea view was gorgeous and so comfortable. The staff were really helpful and friendly and constantly kept the place clean for us.

AustraliaIf I really have to say something, I'd say it would be nice to have the minibar refilled during the stay.
Very good experience. The location is excellent, you can walk anywhere (the port and Sairee Beach mainly, but there are also several places to eat a few meters away, and a small convenience store). The pool isn't big but it has an amazing view. Our room (the 3 single beds one on the ground floor facing the pool) was spacious, had everything we needed, and also a great view. The place was peaceful and quiet. It was cleaned every day in an efficient way (fast, and it seemed like staff waited for us to leave in order to avoid bothering us). The beds were too firm for us but we mentioned it to the reception and we got great mattress toppers immediately. A huge thank you to the staff who was amazing all the way and went the extra mile to send the earbuds I forgot to my next hotel 🙏 Nice snorkelling spot from the hotel beach, but mind the boats who come and go to pick up clients from the beach. Oh and... make sure you try the onsite restaurant 'Seaside'. I had the best fish of my life (seabass with mash potato and Spinach... it was so good I had it 4 nights in a row).

New ZealandGreat location, on the quieter side of town but still walkable to all the great spots! The staff were so great here, we had issues with checking in very late and they were so helpful with everything and were able to help us with a free taxi transfer back to the pier as well as with hiring a scooter and sorting laundry. Also has a beautiful pool area overlooking the beach. Just wish we’d spent more time here!

United KingdomThe only trouble we had was finding reception when we first arrived. Look out for the ‘DD Huts’ sign on the opposite side of walking street to the villas. It’s on the highest part of the hill. Don’t go downhill again.
The lighthouse apartment is amazing! The private pool and swing seat are a godsend in the evening after a day’s diving or exploring. The property is perfectly located between diver’s city near the port and the quieter end of Sairee beach. There are plenty of great cafes, restaurants and bars within a couple of minutes walk either direction, without being in the middle of backpacker/student city at the far north of the beach. The staff are lovely, there is a scooter rental place directly outside and there is a free taxi offer back to the ferry on checkout.
