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 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 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.).

IsraelThe hotel restaurants are expensive. The food was great, but overpriced.
The hotel staff was very helpful, from booking to payment to hosting throught the stay. Anna was our villa host and she was very attentive and helpful with everything we needed. Having a dedicated staff member "on call" is really a game changer. The hotel itself is new and well maintained, kids friendly, nice pools.

IsraelThe only thing that was problematic for us was the water temperature in both the main pool and our private pool. They moved us to another room which was a lot better but still on the main pool, the water was just kind of hot and not refreshing which is a bit of a let down in Thailand. If not for this, it could have been a perfect 10 for us. That being said, we will definitely come back next time we're in Thailand.
First of all, the hotel is gorgeous!! Everything is spot on, brand new and beautiful. Our room was spacious, very clean and relaxing. The staff was amazing, and I'd like to point out Anna, our villa host who was amazing and took care of all of our needs within seconds. She definitely made our stay a lot more comfortable and relaxing, so thank you for that! Food was great as well. The location is also beautiful with stunning views and super peaceful. There are some restaurants and massages within walking distance. It's such an amazing hotel and I completely recommend it!

United KingdomWe did feel that the hotel was a little too quiet in the evening and needed something to add a little more atmosphere. We had different departure plans from most guests, which I repeatedly reminded staff about, but our luggage was still sent to the wrong place. However, these things happen and the staff worked hard to remedy the situation and communicated well.
This stunning hotel is new and pristine. The grounds are perfectly landscaped, the pool is lovely, and the overall aesthetic is fabulous. The hotel sits on a quiet beach with an island view, and at low tide, you can walk out in shallow, warm waters. Koh Yao Yai is relatively close to the Hong Islands, and we enjoyed a memorable day exploring them. We stayed in a Lagoon Villa, which was chic and comfortable, with a beautiful tropical garden. The staff are so lovely and do all they can to deliver a high service. This is most definitely a luxurious five star hotel.

FranceWe had to wait for 2.5hours for the boat transfer because we missed the previous one by 3min. A bit frustrating when you know it’s their own boat, we warned them, and we ended up alone in the boat … The restaurants were a bit unimpressive, quite a few average dishes and most waiters would struggle to speak english. The overall level of service was disappointing compared to the luxury of the facilities
The facilities are great, the room is big with a view pn the beach. 2 large pools, a big gym.

Sweden- Transfer from Krabi airport is ridiculously expensive (approx 17,000 baht). We had to book the local ferry and taxi ourselves, which was not super easy and took some extra time (there are only about 3 departures per day). But refused to pay that much for transfer. It should be included since the hotel is located on a island! - Cleaning was sloppy (dirty towels were not changed and floors were often dirty) and often we didn't get the room cleaned until late in the afternoon (around 4-5pm). Exactly when we got up from the pool/beach and wanted to prepare for the evening. - When we were about to check out, the staff was extremely confused about our transfer. They called repeatedly and claimed that we had not booked a transfer (which we had) and gave incorrect information that confused even us. - We booked a taxi through the hotel to Leam Had Beach. The taxi would wait for us there and then drive us back to the hotel again (this was confirmed by both the hotel and the driver). But when we were going back to the "parking lot" after 2.5 hours, the taxi had gone and left us. Stood for 40 minutes in the scorching sun before hotel manage to send a new driver to pick us up. Lucky we had cell phones (and connection) with us! Never received any explanation or apology regarding this.. - The pool area consists of a lot of concrete. We would have liked a little more "green and exotic feeling". - Spa prices are very high compared to other 5 star hotels we have stayed at in Thailand.
- Fantastic breakfast - one of the best I've had! The food and service was great except in the pool bar (small portions, the staff was quite confused and often forget things in the order and it often took too long to get the food). - We also loved our room, it was so spacious, beautiful seaview and everything felt new and modern. - We did two two island hopping tours (booked trough the hotel) and the guide (Joe) was great! - The hotel is very quiet and peaceful (many families with children). They have no entertainment in the evenings and everything closes at 10.30pm. There is not much to do on the island either. This is of course okay, but if you want more hustle and bustle I would not recommend staying here.

United KingdomWhat massively lets this place down however is the majority of the staff. At breakfast we found that it was incredibly unorganized. There were so many staff members everywhere that they were ultimately no-where. None of them were appointed zones, coffees took ages to be served. Tables quickly got dirty and took a while to be cleared. The breakfast itself was mediocre. Additional all prices within the hotel were actually disgustingly overpriced with the food quality being pretty poor. We ended up renting a motorbike and having dinner outside of the hotel. I wouldn't be surprised if, the staff situation isn't resolved, what could be a paradise will quickly go downhill with no-one wanting to stay there.
The property itself is undeniably beautiful. Right on the beachfront, with cleverly layered design so that nearly all rooms had a sea view. We were lucky enough to be upgraded was given a beachfront villa which honestly was the most beautiful room we ever stayed in. The room was HUGE. Honestly the size of a large apartment. There was a small kitchenette, separate HUGE dining/living room, walk-in wardrobe and humongous bathroom with marble bath and huge shower and toilet as well as asseverate guest toilet. As part of our stay, we were given a host Tiya who was really lovely and was always willing to help but she was the only one.
