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 reviewAmazing service. The resort is located in a very quiet place. Aircons are very new and working good. The landlords are extremely attentive. Very good conversations, warm and welcoming attitude. To be honest, the breakfasts here were the best I have ever tried in Thailand for two years of my stay. Thanks to Pilou and Fred! See you in the future!

Verified reviewWhat a special place this is. One of our top stays while we have been travelling Thailand over the past month. My partner and I had such a magical time at Lazy Republique. The pool is gorgeous, especially at night. Pilou and Fred are so passionate about their place and that really shines through. The bungalows are all set in their own little private areas with outdoor seating. We loved they cleaned it every day as well. The facilities are all beautiful and very well maintained. This area of the island was also our favourite. Set in the south, much quieter with a nice beach within walking g distance. And the most wonderful restaurant next door called ‘Coconut Cafe’ Would highly recommend!

Verified reviewWhat a wonderful place ! We described Lazy Republique as our “Jungle Paradise”. Excellent, comfortable accommodation, set in a lush, green environment with close access to local bars, restaurants and beaches. Transport is easily available for those wishing to explore further afield. Lazy Republique has a lovely pool and sun terrace. There is a lovely bar where many residents meet to enjoy the panoramic views of sunset whilst enjoying drinks and conversation. There is a very homely feel to Lazy Republique- created by our wonderful hosts, Pilou and Fred who are so warm, welcoming and helpful, they felt more like friends who we had known for years. Finally - I must mention the breakfast- so, so good and absolutely recommended! A truly superb place to stay!

Verified reviewWe loved it here. The owners are super nice, very helpful and go out of their way to provide you with a great experience. The pool area is beautiful and even though the place was fully booked, we mostly had it to ourselves. The bungalows are stylish and spacious enough, and everything was super clean. We would absolutely stay here again.
It was all great!

Verified reviewPretty much perfect! Owners are great, super friendly, interesting and informative. Urban bungalows in the garden are fully equipped and best bed I’ve slept in in Thailand. Location wise also the best spot on the island. Would come back and will of course recommend. Keep up the absolute magic of this place! Thank you for everything.

Verified reviewWe loved the whole vibe at Lazy Republique. The apartments had everything you need, beautiful pool and it was a great location to explore Ko Chang. The highlight for us was the warm hospitality and kindness from the hosts, Fred + Pilou. Great island knowledge, wonderful breakfast and delicious cocktails at sunset.
Nothing we didn’t like. Great value for money and in a more quiet part of the island to fully embrace the lazy!

Verified reviewLovely little bungalows, the site is so nice and relaxing. Really appreciated all the advice, really helped us to get the most out of the stay on the island. It's near some nice restaurants too (go to coconut cafe!!) We enjoyed the breakfasts, would say they are worth paying extra for. We liked staying in a quieter part of the island.
Not much to not like! The nearest beach was very nice but is a little walk away which was fine for us but might not be for everyone.
