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.).

JapanIt is secluded and there is not much in walking distance. We didn’t rent scooters or a car so we spent quite a bit on grab to get places. We were fine with that but it could be an issue for others
The owner, Phillip, was amazing. He helped arrange transportation from the airport to the residence when we arrived. He also sent a list of places that we should try to eat. He was responsive to every message I sent both before arrival and during our stay. The residence had the most amazing view and was really nice. The pool was great too and perfect for an afternoon swim after being out all day. It is in a rather secluded area and there is not much traffic in the area. The beach is close and was also not crowded.

Our recent stay at The Beach Residence was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking view that truly steals the show. Whether bathed in sunshine or under a starry night, the scenery is consistently stunning and offers a serene backdrop for relaxation. Having read the glowing reviews prior to our booking, our expectations were high, yet our experience managed to exceed them in every way. The short walk to the beautiful, uncrowded beach was a delightful bonus, providing us with the perfect spot for family fun and tranquility. Philip, our host, was exceptional. His responsiveness to our questions and requests was lightning-fast, ensuring our stay was smooth and enjoyable. We felt truly cared for and appreciated his dedication to making our visit memorable. Without a doubt, we will return to this little slice of paradise. Thank you, Philip, for an unforgettable stay!

RussiaInteresting solution to avoud corridors when all the rooms have separate exit but when you leave apartment you need to lock all the rooms. Maybe there could be solutions how to do that fastly.
Perfect view from the apartment. Host (Phil) was very hospitable and arranged everything we asked. Rooms were clean with nice conditioning, kitchen was well equipped, we prepared food there. Not far to the beach. Nice pool with perfect view.

United KingdomNothing, loved everything.
What's there to say about the Beach Residence that has not already been said in previous reviews. Its amazing. I will break it down into three parts: The location - An idyllic hillside location with the most amazing views, it's a leisurely 3 minute stroll down to a beautiful beach which is tranquil and never crowded, there is a nice little beach bar down there that does great food. It is an amazing location to be at, one of the more exclusive areas on the Island, yet you are only a short drive / taxi ride from some of the best bars and restaurants Koh Samui has to offer. The property - Wow!....immaculate, modern, stylish, a fantastic infinity pool overlooking the sea. The place is simply stunning with the best views you will find anywhere. You could not ask for more. The host / owner - Philip was there to welcome us when we arrived, he provided us with all the local information, recommendations for restaurants, bars, tours etc. He could not have been more helpful. There was one time we had an issue that was out of his control, we messaged him and he was there 15 minutes later to sort it out, nothing was too much trouble for him. The guy is a real gem and will go out of his way to ensure you have the best time My only regret is that we did not spend more time there, but we will definitely return

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay at the Beach Residence. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking view from the terrace—waking up to that every day was amazing! The location is peaceful, away from the more tourist-heavy areas, which we really appreciated. At the same time, getting to those areas is easy and affordable with Grab. We also loved the nearby Thongson Beach, which was quiet and uncrowded, yet still had a few bars and restaurants for food and drinks, plus activities like jet ski and kayak rentals. The water was noticeably cleaner than at the larger, busier beaches. Philip was a fantastic host, always quick to respond and attentive to our needs. Overall, we were very happy with our stay!

GuernseyThere isn't anything we didn't like about this property or feel could be done better.
Just WOW. Our villa overlooked the sea, and the beautiful Thongson Bay. Phil, our host, greeted us even though we didn't arrive until late into the evening as our flight had been delayed. Phil was so welcoming and showed us around the property and up to our villa. We even received a very helpful list of places to go and restaurants to visit, from lunch venues, to cheap but very good restaurants, as well as a couple of places to go for a special evening out (more expensive but still very reasonable and top notch food). We hired a car which enabled us to travel around the island and explore the many different villages and areas of Koh Samui. However, if you just wanted to have a restful poolside/beach holiday, you have that on your doorstep too including s few local restaurants which are easy to walk to. Phil organised a taxi for our arrival (highly recommended) with his driver to collect us from the airport. The taxi was there when we arrived (not taken for granted as on arrival in Bali the year before we waited over an hour for someone to turn up so we were very grateful after a long flight!). The driver even dropped us at the local shop on the way to the villa so that we could get some essential water and food for the coming days, which was so thoughtful. Phil is excellent at communicating when needing to throughout the stay, without being intrusive. He even bought us some local bakery pastries a few days into our trip. Its the little human and thoughtful touches that make this place special. A truly magnificently located apartment and a 5 star host. We would thoroughly recommend. **Note for those with mobility issues: The very special location of this villa, being on the side of a hill means that there are quite a few steps if you are staying at one of the villas at the top with the best views. However there is a villa on the lower level with only a few steps which would be more accessible for those that may struggle with steps.

Location was excellent with a beautiful view. Good access to a very good and quiet beach. However you do need to hire transport to get to the nearest town where there are multiple good eating locations. Also to visit the sites and beaches round the island. Philip the manager/host was very responsive with information for sites and eating recommendations and was very helpful to first time visitors to Koi Samui.

SwitzerlandWe had a most wonderful family holiday (5 people) in this house that we called home for 2 weeks in July 2024. Phil, the Dane, was always very helpful throughout the whole time. Arranging taxi from the airport, a taxi company that we continued use all holiday, great tips for restaurants and a nice lady that did our clothes washing! We loved the house and what a view down to Thong Son Bay from our terrace, the infinite pool that was for all 4 apartments was a great plus for the whole family. Thank you Phil we are sure many more people will have wonderful holidays in your amazing apartment complex. The bay was lovely quiet, less people and that we appreciated very much, the beach was brilliant and we enjoyed food both in the local Thai restaurant or the beach resort. If we wanted more liveliness we took a taxi to the famous beaches or especially Fisherman’s Village with both more wonderful restaurants, the night market and the fire show on the beach. We can highly recommend staying here and your holiday will be making good memories for a lifetime!
