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...).

BulgariaWe recommend the hotel to get sterilizer for baby bottles etc. (not in each room but just to have available in the hotel in case people with babies need one). Other high quality hotels do that, and it’s very convenient. :) Other than that everything was great! :)
Location is great - close to the beach and other places of interest on the island. Staff was also very friendly & smiley! We were with our 6 month old baby and they made sure to make us feel comfortable. The spa place is a must! Great Thai massage :) We booked half board - highly recommended, the lunch/dinner is very much worth it!

Especially l'd like to mention su-chef the Portosino restaurant Mr. Jatin, who made the presentation of amazing Indian kitchen for as, managers of restaurant Annie and Julia, who was very hospitality and professionally, miss Fah and Nadia from a rooftop bar with a breathtaking sea view.

United States of AmericaNothing, it was perfect!
We stayed at Avista Grande for 10 days this April for our honeymoon and I couldn’t write enough positive sentiments about our stay here! It was our first time in Thailand, and the location of the hotel which is located directly across the street from Karon Beach was just superb. We had many days lounging by the pool which satiated our need for relaxation and easy access back to our room, the bar, the many close convenient stores to restock snacks/drinks, and a bathroom. Our room was very neatly kept and cleaned daily by Duean, Nangyai, and Non, who left us cute towel animals and refreshed the water for my flowers. They would restock complimentary bottled waters too. The front desk was extremely attentive and helpful for booking the spa and restaurants. We had breakfast included with our stay which I highly recommend for the ease, bang for your buck, and huge variety of delicious options. Everyday we would get custom coffees and really enjoyed the buffet’s quality ingredients. We took advance of the rooftop bar for sunset, which was awesome, and the Madame Pearle Spa for a mani/pedi (highly recommend booking with Angie!). The resort was very kid-friendly and seemed to have more families than couples especially at the pool, but that was fine with us. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this resort more and felt we got a 5 star experience for a very reasonable price! Thank you, Avista Grande!

The best experience ever. The hotel is very nice and new and far from street noise but not far from the beach which is three minutes walk just cross the road. The reception staff are friendly and nice and they upgraded our room for free. The room is big and comfortable and the private excess to the pool was an amazing experience. The kids have enjoyed going to the big pool as well as the kids zone. The restaurant and staff there are nice and helpful. The breakfast is wonderful. Not a lot of variety but the available are very tasty. We booked half board so we were taking dinner menu and the food was great as a look and taste. We would love to thank the chef Mr. Jatin who was an artist and was checking on us and smiling all the time. Also, we don’t want to forget the cleaners for their wonderful work especially Ms. Nang Yai. We recommend this hotel and hope to stay there again in future. Thanks for everything.

United KingdomNothing really comes to mind about what I didn’t like about the property
The hotel is very clean. We had a sea view with pool room and it is worth paying the extra for this although the main pool is big enough and has a swim up bar. The location is great not a far walk to get into the town where there are lots of shops, restaurants, massage places etc. Staff are great, friendly and helpful.

United Arab EmiratesOnly thing I can think of is to provide the pool towels at the pool instead of in the rooms - but this is just a suggestion and no criticism. Everything was amazing.
The hotel is visually stunning and the building/rooms are very well maintained. Amazing pool, good restaurants, good breakfast, rooms are spacious - even for a family with kids. I didn’t expect the hotel to be so close to the beach - it’s just a 3 minute walk. It’s just as close to the beach as the beach front hotels. The beach nearby is very nice, not too crowded. Kata is just around the corner which is also a big plus of this hotel. Another important advantage of this hotel was the kids club. Our kids loved playing there. Final note, big shout out to all the staff and the GM. They made our stay even more amazing. We are definitely coming back.

United KingdomI wish someone had paid more attention to the reserved beds around the pool. There are signs saying that staff will remove towels but I didn't see any evidence of this happening. A small gripe but did not affect us much as we were out most of the day and just sat around the pool bar when we returned.
Amazing stay for 2 nights to finish what had been a superb holiday. When we arrived we were given a free upgrade with a whirlpool bath which was just amazing. The pool area was fab, although other guests did reserve beds with their towels and then never used them all day. This is my only gripe. The Char'd restaurant was just delicious as well. Quite a walk from restaurants and bars outside of the hotel but tuk tuks are readily available and very cheap. I would definitely visit again. Breakfast is varied and staff are friendly.
