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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThere were no hooks to hang towels or clothes inside, for 6 people it was a bit confusing, there was also no shelves to keep your clothes, we kept them in our suitcases. One more thing- there were no side bed lights hence reading in the evening was not possible.
Great location, quiet and calm beach, paddle boarding without any extra charge. The villa was spacious, beds comfortable.

United Arab EmiratesA/C a little difficult in the upper floor of the tree house- didn’t really cool it. Sea water became brown in rainy season (from mountains) on this side of the island - but a 20 minute walk to Lazy Beach was easy to find clear water.
Perfect location, on a quiet strip of Saracen Bay but only 10 minute walk to restaurants. Lovely friendly staff who arranged a later check out and a place for us to shower before catching a late ferry. Good breakfast with various choices of western or Cambodian. Tree House style villa was great and despite being 2nd row had a lovely view of the sea.

CanadaThe shower was always warm except super early in the morning. But that's a preference really! Everything else was lovely!
Lovely bungalow resort with breakfast included. They pick you up from the pier in a boat (even in the rain) and take you to the resort down the beach. It is on the quieter end of the beach which is perfect for relaxing. They helped booking our ferry there and back which was helpful.

FranceNot much, maybe the villa furniture could be upgraded and the AC modernized, as ours could only run on fan mode.
The resort is ideally located in the middle of Saracen Bay and is a good value-for-money option. The villas are cosy, although the furniture is quite dated. The breakfast is plentiful and tasty: you can order anything from the menu. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they even refunded a portion of the tour we booked because we got a worse service than expected. Overall, would stay again.

IrelandOverly critical here but maybe 1 or 2 more options (or variants) on the breakfast menu. Still no points deducted from me on this.
Located in a quiet part of Saracen Bay but within a 5 min walk of numerous shops, bars and restaurants for choice. This place is unreal! Stunning waterfront villas, spotlessly clean and well-appointed, we enjoyed nothing more than waking each morning, walking 20-30 metres and hitting the warm water first thing. Each villa has a hose out front to wash sandy feet, a lovely veranda with chair, table and couch to relax, decent air con inside, fridge, good showers, the list goes on.... On the beach, they provide sunloungers, hammocks and some free water sports equipment and are more than happy to arrange any additional tours. Food in the restaurant is very good, nice selection and well presented. Finally the staff.... Exceptional! Helpful at every turn, eager to assist and each encounter delivered with a genuine smile. Wouldn't stay anywhere else!

United KingdomNothing could be better. There are a few mosquitoes; but where is a tropical beach without them? The staff in most restaurants put burning coils under the tables at night and this really helped. Otherwise normal sprays and covering up worked as well as anywhere. Fans at night are a necessity, and aircon works a treat.
Location was amazing; our little wooden 'hong'/cabin was right on the lovely Saracen Beach. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough to help us. The breakfasts at the restaurant were excellent, and they have the best coffee in Cambodia! We expected the accommodation to be simple and basic, however we were very comfortable and everything was in good repair. We had been warned about electricity outages and loss of internet and wifi. This did happen, but it was for short periods only and did not affect our holiday. We work from our laptops for part of each day; this was possible, however we had problem with banking as could not receive OTP messages in the time frame required. If we return, we will invest in some local SIM cards and see if that solves the problem.

BulgariaNo coffee/ tea cattle in villa but I didn’t ask for because i was bringing mine for a long stay. A little overpriced restaurant- the food quality is very good so just a polite advice to the management.
Absolutely everything was perfect - friendly staff, location of the villa just first line on the beach, comfortable king size bed, sofa on the balcony to have a drink watching the seа or reading a book listening sea waves, plenty of hot water in bathroom, perfect breakfast, a lot of fresh fruits every morning, unforgettable Mango smoothie for the afternoons, thank you Sokna Dom. Sol beach resort is located just in the middle of this side of the island and the sea water and the beach are clean, not such case on the edges of the island, where i think most ot the local people are living. Very safety island no problems to walk alone during night time. Sol beach resort doing their best for the tourists, highly recommend stay by me and believe me I’ve been in 74 countries up to now and slept in so many hotels around the world. Thank you Sol Beach Resort for the perfect stay and so many friends made from staff ❤️

GermanyThe included breakfast as well as the other food we tried was not very good. Also the restaurant area is not very inviting. There’s some room for improvement.
Beautiful spacious bungalows right on the beach with a huge, comfortable bed, big bathroom with great shower as well as a fridge and a safe. We initially thought the price was a big high, but compared to other resorts on the island, this has to be the best value for money. There’s plenty of sunbeds and hammocks to chill on the perfectly clean beach and underneath the trees. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
