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 KingdomWe preferred the company of the cat to the 5 small dogs who were a bit loud at times.
The resort was amazing for relaxing in nature! The monkeys which came by each day were very entertaining, and we had some really peaceful days reading books in the hammocks and on the pier. The old cat who lived there (I think Somu was her name) was so sweet. We had an amazing experience swimming with the plankton at night and saw so many crabs around the mangrove edges. The sunset on one of our nights was incredible and we loved seeing the huge colony of bats flying over the property at dusk each night. Food was also decent!

United KingdomIf you are booking a dormitory , consider that it will be quite hot in the evening as it has many beds and fans helping but it is still hot, so bungalows might be a better choice :)
I have started my 2 month trip here , and I came back at the end of my travels. Definitely one of the most beautiful areas in Thailand. So many nice spots around to enjoy good food and views ,and a perfect place to relax in nature.

United KingdomSmall things that could be improved but are totally outweighed by all the wonderful things, so don’t affect 10/10 rating! No shampoo, kettle, fridge or cup in the room, (all the other places I stayed had these, even some quite cheap ones), but instead there’s constant hot and cooled water in the dining area, and a fridge you can use. WiFi was quite weak in the room, depends how close you are to the dining area. If you need good WiFi you may need to sit in the dining area, other people working seemed happy doing that. Or check location of your room beforehand. Aircon was very good, although the controller didn’t work, had a use a broomstick to turn it off, but this was fine. Only a few of the rooms have aircon, again check that you booked what you needed.
Fantastic place - not surprising it’s very popular, just book it! A really amazing experience, very beautiful, calming, and friendly. Came on my own for remote working and found lots of lovely people, including everyone watching the sunset and going nightly to dinner at the great crazy horse restaurant over the road. Extended my stay as it was so good. Boat trip to 3 islands was stunning. Note Bananas is not on a great swimming beach, as you can only swim at high tide, for maybe up to 2 hours a day. Wonderful for sunsets, views and walks on beach. Good food at lunchtimes, and can get cappuccinos at a cafe 3 mins along the beach, when the tide is not high. I didn’t have transport but there was plenty to do, relaxing or going on trips. There’s a village only about 5 mins walk away with simple local shops and restaurants, as well as the wonderful restaurant opposite. Olli the owner is very helpful and really helps to create the wonderful friendly, communal atmosphere. Thank you for my best stay in my month in Thailand!

Egypt- wifi didn't get to my room and for some reason even my local sim didn't get connection from the bungalow...which was a bit of an issue since I had to work from the restaurants and wasn't always quiet. - room was quiet hot even with the two fans - the food if the restaurant was not super good, but okay
- place immersed in nature, monkeys showing up everyday, cats and dogs. Amazing sunsets - very nice staff, chilled and welcoming - restaurant closes after 4pm but there is another restaurants 5 min walk from the location that is as beautiful as the place.

The tastiest breakfast in Thailand. From the moment we arrived we realised it was a place full of positive vibe and beautiful people. The nature is wonderful and especially the pontoon and the sea. The people who are in charge of the reception are very friendly. They all know English and German and we got along very well.

United KingdomThe monkeys are usually entertaining, but beware that sometimes they will snatch things!
Ollie the manager and all the staff are helpful, friendly and cheerful. Our air conditioned concrete bungalow was comfortable (many simple bamboo huts available). Be aware huts closest to road may suffer motorbike noise early mornings. Other guests seem much travelled and friendly.Wonderfu location in mangrove forest with walkway to pier for spectacular views, and some limited wildlife. No beach but swimming possible at high tide. Long walk across area possible at low tide! Restaurant food good and reasonable prices, but closes at 4.00 pm due to ongoing staffing shortages. However other restaurants nearby, especially recommended is Kongkan Lanlay large restaurant on shoreline 8 mins walk along road, always plenty of tables, food excellent.

PolandWifi range is quite limited but it gives you the opportunity to listen to the sea and the jungle instead of swiping socials ;) Amount of wildlife may be overwhelming - monkeys, spiders, crabs, insects but c'mon - it is their home at first, not ours ;)
Great setting of the resort, just at the seashore (quite muddy tho but very picturesque), mangrove forest just in front of the house. Great personell, Olli is a superb owner and host, very friendly and welcoming. His stuff is also great, willing to help with everything, cooking great meals and giving excellent massage.
