Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We had a pleasant stay. Beyond our (already high) expectations. We had a lovely room with a nice bed. View on the pool with our own pool beds. The friendly owner surprised us with e.g. a welcome drink, cheap (own) scooter/motor rent, wash service, taxi service, tips to visit on the island etc.

IrelandAmaya is a beautiful gem in the Lamai area. The staff are so lovely & really look after you! Perfect location if you want a little peace & quiet away from the hustle and bustle, but short taxi drives away to get to the main areas. They also do the best iced coffees!

CanadaNothing. It was perfect.
The resort was so peaceful and beautiful. The family who owns it is so nice and does everything to accommodate you. The staff are so friendly and you feel like you’re a part of their family- for example, they knew how I liked my coffee and that I wanted avocado at breakfast so they provided it. Also, the breakfast has so much variety and is amazing. Everything is so clean and the rooms are beautiful. Even though it’s not in the main area, it’s only a 5 minute drive and there’s plenty of taxis/grabs and motor bikes. Overall, the place was incredible felt like home. Will 1000% be back.

United KingdomI'd had a recent bike accident at the Ha Giang loop, and I wasn't ready to get on another bike and therefore I had to walk everywhere! The walk into town was unpleasant on dusty roads especially in the heat. You definitely need transport otherwise you will be isolated. Grabs aren't as accessible in Koh Samui as some other places. Breakfast wasn't amazing. They need to provide nicer bread for one. Instant coffee is included in price but a nicer coffee (i.e cappuccino) isn't. It would be a nice touch if it was.
I had a beautiful ground floor room which was immaculately clean. Directly outside my room were 2 comfy sunbeds which kind of sat in the pool, which was lovely. The hotel is owned by a lovely French couple (Nancy and Jenny) who are great people. Nu also works there and she is so lovely and friendly. Very relaxing stay.

RomaniaThis was the best hotel we stayied in our two weeks holiday around Thailand. It's a small hotel, with few rooms only. We had direct access to the pool, which made our stay even more pleasant. The breakfast was perfect for us. The location is in the same time far from the noisy Lamai but close enough to have access at everything you need. There is a 15 min walk from the hotel to the main Lamai road.

United KingdomTwo minor points, it would be helpful to have a full length mirror and net curtains or similar on patio doors for privacy.
We found the owners and staff to be very welcoming and friendly. Everywhere was spotless. Lovely warm pool. Lots of water, coffee, tea, biscuits & nibbles provided. Breakfast was simple but good. This complex is a little out of town centre but so easy to get taxis and the lady owner very kindly gave us a lift to another complex which was a bit away, at no charge. We would definitely stay here again, if returning to Koh Samui.

SwedenThe location is about a 10 min scooter ride from Lamai center but it did not affect us as we prefer not to stay in the noisy part. The resort is on a very nice and pittoresque neighbourhood which is calm and quiet.
Amaya is run by the warmest and friendliest french families. They take care of you like you are a close relative and have excellent sense of when to socialize and when to let you rest. We stayed there for a total of nine nights and had one of the best experiences of our lives. We have been to many high end luxury resorts and hotels in the world and we would choose a place like Amaya every time over the Ritz Carlton or Sheraton. Here you are seen and cared for in the best way. Let me give you some examples: 1. When we arrived they noticed that our kids are big (tall) and gave us the bigger family room with larger beds 2. When they noticed that I always leave the yellow of the hard boiled egg they made sure to peel and remove it for me. 3. We put out some clothes to dry and they made sure to switch the places so that they would be in the sun and dry as quickly as possible. The family makes the difference here but the facilities and food are also 10 out of 10. Breakfast was excellent, freshly baked bread of different varieties including some more healthy options plus baguette etc. Different kinds of fresh fruit, a large variety of freshly baked bakeries and fresh juice every day. On top of that the chef makes very nice omelettes any style you want. Which you can have with avocado, tomatoes, bacon and cucumber. 10 out of 10. Facilities are spotlessly clean. Fresh and modern with everything you need. Lots of storage for your clothes, fridge, safe, water cooker etc. Rooms are well designed with great care taken to make sure you have a place to put stuff and the beds are super comfortable. Shower and toilet are the same, modern and clean. All in all, we do not hesitate to recommend you to stay here. We loved it, our kids loved it and we are already thinking about coming back.

The resort is on a very nice and pittoresque neighbourhood which is calm and quiet at night and there is almost no noise from the animals or insects. The only thing I would like to see improve is to have some way to close the shower as there is no curtain. Another thing is to provide french press or brewed coffee for breakfast. You have coffee but it's not pressed.

Although the location is just outside of town, this has been one of our favourite places to stay throughout our trip to Thailand. It’s nestled amongst lush greenery and so peaceful. The owners and staff were all very welcoming and made it feel like a family home away from home. We’d definitely recommend to everyone!

United KingdomThe owners were great and super helpful, from the moment we arrived until our departure. They gave us a lot of useful information about the area, and made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. It's worth noting that the location is slightly further from the beachfront and the main streets than we had realised, so we ended up taking a few taxis to go back and forth (but that information was there when we booked).
