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 KingdomNothing to complain about, our stay was perfect! Wish we could have stayed longer.
Amazing stay here, right on the beach with a large bedroom/bathroom and massive balcony to relax on. The shower was the best I've ever used and the included shower gel etc were high quality. The room smelt very clean and was spotless on arrival. Teas and coffees included. If you get buffet breakfast included, it was the best breakfast we've had during our travels so far with lots of food and drink options, you can even ask them to cook eggs for you. Also the comfiest bed we have been in so far, didn't want to get out of it. Staff always very lovely and accommodating. Good happy hour cocktails too!

ThailandDisappointing instant coffee at breakfast. Breakfast not starting till 8am. I cannot remember any place, anywhere I've stayed, starting breakfast at such a late hour..
The resort is compact without being cramped. Room was clean and spacious and had a large balcony. Bed, very comfy. Staff, including the gaffer were great. Good buffet breakfast. Had 2 other meals in the restaurant - one Thai, one western - both very good.

United KingdomThe only thing I would say is that the mini bar prices were too high, that's only because there was a 7 eleven next door, which meant we used that instead. Also the room could have had more fresh drinking water available.
We were originally booked into a room which was up stairs and was not very accessible due to an injury. The staff changed our room and upgraded us without charge without any fuss. I really appreciated their help and the room and resort was lovely. Right on the beach. Just what was needed.

AustraliaUnfortunately poor snorkelling in comparison to Ko Ma. It would have been nice for staff to give me a brief about the facilities on offer (e.g. free standup paddle board hire and activities on offer in that location). Room was old but clean and relatively quiet at night.
Staff were lovely, location was fantastic, breakfast was also great!

AustraliaGreat bar manager, very friendly & extremely helpful but the in house restuarant food was average & oily. Luckily plenty of alternative options very close by. Easy beach access but tide was always out meaning you could only wade in shallow 500mm of water before being confronted with rocky area.
Spacious well appointed room with large balcony overlooking the pool. Very confortable bed & well air-conditioned. Located right on the beach front, with a choice of bean bags, chairs or sun lounges along the beach. Located close to many other restaurants.

United StatesI could hear the very loud family next to me. Reception closes early.
It was centrally located. The beach was nice. The art market was within walking distance. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast easily accommodated my fruitarian diet. The room was large with its own outside porch/balcony. The porch was furnished with a couch, a table, and a laundry drying rack. The room included bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths.

IrelandWhat a gem of a place! I had an amazing stay at the lovely Amara Beach Resort in Haad Yao, Koh Phangan. I enjoyed it so much that I extended and extended my stay, not wanting to go anywhere else. I will begin by mentioning the very lovely, friendly, helpful and attentive staff, who made my stay so pleasant and welcoming. From the wonderful manager Michaela to reception, housekeeping, maintenance, laundry, restaurant and kitchen staff, I really felt so well looked after by all. I love, love, love the beachfront location on this very beautiful beach, as well as being so close to a shop, laundry and a variety of food options. There is also a great onsite restaurant and the fantastic buffet breakfast is a real highlight. The rooms are extremely clean, spacious and comfortable, with all amenities and services you may need (fridge, mini bar, kettle, great air con, excellent WiFi, warm shower, safety box, terrace/balcony, daily housekeeping). The beds deserve a special mention, because they really are so very comfy! You can also easily arrange taxi transfers and fantastic tours and day trips through reception. The pool and grounds are maintained really well and there is a very lovely atmosphere and feeling being here. I always felt so very safe, easeful, comfortable and cared for. I am truly grateful for my stay at Amara and delighted to share my heartfelt recommendation.

IrelandThe swimming pool water filtration system need to be fixed. The water was not clean. The water pressure system need to be adjusted so that you have normal pressure in the room. The ventilator in my room was making loud noise, I had to turn it of and use AC instead.
Lovely hotel on a beachfront with small swimming pool and lively restaurant. The hotel was beautifully covered with lot of flowers and jungle vibes. Good quality breakfast. All employees were very nice and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant. Definitely recommend to stay in the hotel. I extended my stay few times and returned to the same hotel few times. I am planning to comeback in the future and recommend to my friends.

GermanyNot a complaint just a heads up to anyone booking that the pool is quite small and not very private but at least they have one! Also the sea is right in front of the hotel so we didn't use the pool much at all.
Amazing hotel. Extremely friendly staff. Beautiful beach bar with great food. We could rent a scooter from the hotel and as they only had one, I could rent another one from a neighbouring place but was allowed to park in front of the Amara hotel. We really enjoyed our stay - it's perfect for couples looking to have a quiet escape which for us was perfect after the full moon party. Would stay again :)

New ZealandNothing. Incredible.
This was our favourite place we’ve stayed in Thailand (we’ve been here 6 weeks!) The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s stunning. The breakfast is INCREDIBLE. we had an early tour one morning (before the buffet opened) and they arranged anything we wanted from the menu to be ready for us so we could still have food before we went on the tour!
