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 reviewThe room is spacious, with a very comfortable bed, space for your clothes to hang, a lovely balcony, and a very nice toilet (perfect shower pressure and temperatures). It's in a quiet area, so you'll get great sleep, and it is also a 5-minute walk to the nearest beach, plus there are many different restaurants around. We found everything to our liking, and were really well welcomed too.
If anything, the kitchen could be better equipped but there really wasn't anything we didn't like when it came to our room and hospitality.
Dear Rebecca, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the spacious room, comfortable bed, and lovely balcony, as well as the convenience of the quiet location and proximity to the beach. It's wonderful to know that you had a restful stay and appreciated the hospitality we strive to offer. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the kitchen equipment. Your input is invaluable, and we will certainly look into improving this aspect for future guests. It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Verified reviewAffordable and spacious room with a big bed and a private bathroom. Working aircon and a fridge. Location is really convenient with a 7eleven, farmacy etc. right across the main street. Also many good restaurants and massage places near by. The walk to the beach was about 5 minutes. You can rent a scooter to explore the island.
Fine for a night or two but there are things to improve on. There was water leaking from the bathroom ceiling and dripping down on you. The bathroom is in need of updates (moldy silicone etc). The aircon had not been maintained, so it was full of mold and dust which made the air smell moldy. Towels were so old and worn they had holes in them (luckily the bed linens were in better condition). You could hear other guests in the hallway/slamming their doors shut :/
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that you found the room spacious, comfortable, and conveniently located near amenities and restaurants. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the option to rent a scooter to explore the island. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay, and we truly appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we will use it to make the necessary improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with an even better experience in the future. Warm regards, Veerapat S.

Verified reviewFriendly staff, nice and comfortable room. I had a good stay but I won’t come back.
The common area (kitchen and place to chill) is not nice. Moreover, the “hotel” is a bit “strange”. It’s a big building where a part of it is a hostel and hotel and the other part is where some local Thai people live. Nothing against them at all but I think it should have been mentioned.

Verified reviewPrice to value ratio is great. Location very good and central. Clean & Modern. Easy check in.
There was a deep chemical smell from some cleaning product (we suspect) they used that lingered in the room during the whole day and night. It was not pleasant to breathe in and disrupted our stay. We were only there a night so it was passable but took away from what was a pleasant stay otherwise

So many roaches coming from our bathroom, everyday there would pop out at least four or five. One even jumped from the wall onto our bed.
