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.).

United KingdomThere was some bass noise from the club across the road, but nothing that stopped us from sleeping.
The hotel centres around a nicely designed courtyard area shaded by copious vegetation and features a good cafe for breakfast and lunch. We didn’t eat here in the evening so couldn’t comment on that. Our room, while compact, was intelligently and pleasingly designed with a small outdoor terrace. The location is handy; set back from the main road and a 10 min walk to the pier. Check in was easy and nice helpful staff. There is a new craft beer place 2 mins walk away on the main road.

SwitzerlandThe hotel is hidden in a small "jungle" they have created around it, which makes it a very special experience to stay in. The host is very nice and sent us a lot of information about Koh Tao (restaurant recommendations, places to visit etc.). Furthermore, the cafe that is part of the hotel serves really good breakfast (incl. good coffee), and we also had lunch there as well. The room was very clean, we've also used their laundry service, which was only little more expensive than if we washed by ourselves in a laundry room.

United Kingdom🤷♂️ It was all great!
Lovely, friendly, helpful staff, cute cafe with good food (especially the local menu!). Rooms were clean, comfortable, and decorated nicely. The location is great, we hired a scooter through the hotel for a few hundred bhat a day and rode down to Ban's on it every day which takes less than 10 minutes. It's a good spot to explore not only Sairee beach but the other parts of the island. The hotel provided wraps/towels for taking to the beach separate to our room towels which was great too. All in all a really nice stay, and can recommend it to anyone looking for a calm spot that is still fairly centrally located. They also gave a great list of recommendations.

United KingdomI cannot fault this property at all. In 4 months of travelling Asia this is without a doubt the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in! We booked the apartment and felt like we were in a luxury treehouse, the view from our room was just so many trees - so beautiful. The actual room was unbelievable, everything was so clean and finished to an incredibly high standard with really small wonderful finishing touches. The cleaners deserve their own review for how amazing they were! Every day they came in and cleaned the room perfectly, it always smelt so good and they even opening all our curtains and putting the curtain ties back on. The wifi was really good and the cafe downstairs was delicious and Big Tree customers get 10% off. The hotel offer laundry for the same price as everywhere else and it’s delivered to your room the next day. We also rented bikes with no issues and the hotel gave us so many great recommendations for food and activities. Overall the whole stay was just so luxurious, comfortable and calm. The location is fantastic, around a 10 minute walk to the main area of Tao if you’re a fast walker. Tjere is a small french bulldog who belongs to one of the staff but its very friendly (I’m scared of dogs and was a bit apprehensive but it’s a lovely little dog) Thank you so much!

Saudi ArabiaThe family suite has a lovely central space but the upstairs room is in the mezzanine - so without windows and a very steep staircase. Of course, it is also central on the island so not near the ocean.
The hotel was lovely, and the food and drinks from the cafe delicious! It's very central so easy to organise ourselves. There is a gorgeous boutique, gelato shop and ramen shop right there. Laundry could be done through the hotel, and they provided us with umbrellas, snorkels and masks and beach sarongs for use during our stay. Lovely staff.

Spain(minor details) in the studio, the position of the television was not the most comfortable to watch from bed no international channels, only smart tv apps the hotel did not have its own restaurant, hang out areas nor salons, so you don't interact with other guests (which can be good for some), so the hotel is pretty much for resting only
the owner was extremely nice the hotel surroundings are very green, it feels like you are in a garden design was slick, clean and everything very tastefully made and decorated (especially comparing to what's offered in Koh Tao) studio flat was excellent: plenty of windows giving access to the greenery nearby (quite beautiful), very good sq footage, balcony was a nice plus, bathroom is spacious bonus: the clothing store in the premises is also quite good

United KingdomAn absolute gem of a place. The room was lovely and the bed was enormous and so comfy. Excellent pillows too (something many hotels seem to not get right!) The staff were incredible, so welcoming and friendly. I loved my time at Big Tree, every last detail was thought through. The shower was excellent, really powerful and the toiletries were made in Koh Tao with natural ingredients, again, just the little extra touches that show you the people who run Big Tree have thought of everything!

DenmarkThe staircase to the upper floor is very narrow making it difficult to carry a suitcase. Also, the price you see in booking is not the actual price you pay. You are asked to pay in advance via a bank transfer that charges 3% extra. Keep that in mind before booking.
The location of the hotel is very nice, close to the pier (10-12 mins on foot). They can also assist you in renting a scooter to make your life easier going around the island. The room was clean and it is very nice that the hotel also provides beach towels to use.
