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 KingdomNothing specific - everything was perfect and we will come back.
Exceptional stay at this place. The management does go above and beyond. We had a accommodation upgrade to villa C8 which was a nice surprise with stunning view! Bed was big enough and very comfortable. Anything can be ordered to your accommodation as food, massage services, etc...and local mobile phones are provided for such orders. You have easy access to the sea (snorkeling equipment is provided) and a lot of activities can be booked through the hotel leaflets - they really want to make your life easy, comfortable and for you to enjoy your stay. We will come back!

United KingdomIncredible stay at Cape Shark. Villas are beautiful, ours had a view out across the sea and shark island. Villa is well equipped, you can cook or get food delivered. The team at Cape Shark are great, super helpful, they helped us book a private snorkeling tour, and we got the shuttle to and from the town/beaches. Highly recommend staying here, especially if you want to relax.

United KingdomThe only down side to the location is the distance to town and the walk up the steep hill if you were down at sea level. They’ve done a great job of trying to mitigate this with the free shuttle services into town and back and pickup options around the villas. It would have been perfect with just a couple more shuttle times in and out to choose from, especially a later evening one as the last one was 9pm. Don’t let the location put you off though, what it lacks in convenience it more than makes up for in stunning natural beauty :)
Pretty much everything! It’s a gorgeous location, some of the best snorkelling on the island was here, off the Villa sun decks. This was the only location we saw turtles when snorkelling. The staff were fabulous. The Villa was stunning and our little pool was lovely. Hoping to come back to one of the bigger villas with a larger group! Loads of attention to detail which was great. The fridge in the kitchen was well stocked and reasonably priced. The mobile phone was really useful to call for food or taxis as needed as we didn’t have a local SIM card. Highly recommend! Thank you for a wonderful honeymoon stay!

ThailandOur first villa was next to building work which woke us up. However, we were instantly moved to a bigger villa.
The villas are amazing with incredible views. The area is very quiet and serene but the daily shuttles to Sairee mean it is easy to go to busier areas. We had a problem with our first villa and got upgraded to a 3 bed villa free of charge which was amazing - the staff were incredibly helpful throughout.

United KingdomThe shuttle service runs at awkward times and you need to book onto it. The shuttle is not for the faint hearted, we read reviews saying it was steep but the hills are essentially vertical. We were disappointed with the staff, the guy showing us our villa was frustrated when we had questions to ask. Everything was just quite tricky and not straightforward when it came to very simple questions! Lots of the staff admitted they were brand new and little clueless.
The villa was absolutely stunning, panoramic views of the island, very very clean, comfortable, great facilities. Private pool (albeit it was very hot!), quiet, good air conditioning and felt very safe and homely. We truly wish we could have stayed longer.

AustraliaIt’s a bit steep to get from the villas to reception but, you can request a pickup if needed.
The views are stunning! It is a really beautiful part of the island. You can walk down to the bottom of the resort and jump in the ocean to snorkel and kayak. The villa is a great size and has everything you need. The team were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Hong KongNothing, it was all perfect!
The views were outstanding, the staff very friendly and helpful. The food already in the fridge was so lovely and the leaflets for food takeaway made our lives really easy. Everything had been thought of which was great. C14 is actually a 3 bedroom villa. 2 bedrooms are in one part with a joint bathroom - ideal for families with Little ones and 1 bedroom is separate with its own bathroom. There was so much outdoor space, the dining table in particular was a beautiful space for the evening.

DenmarkFor those who want to be in center of action its no go. Phone provided in the accommodation is so annoying to use because it’s near impossible to communicate with reception. Entrance to sea is not the easiest and can be very dangerous due to surrounding rocks. Our villa had no a/c in common area only bedrooms and was built in 3 levels c23b, right on water but top floor bedroom 1, middle level bedroom 2 and ground level common area. Can be very tricky for people with issues of walking the stairs.
Views for days, swimming pool amazing, facilities amazing. Santorini and Maldives had a baby and made this place! Great place for a getaway from everyday life chaos, to switch off and live in the moment surrounded by jungle and amazing sea views. Massage comes to your accommodation which we loved! People who greeted us at pier are hard working and dedicated, but be prepared to sweat its hot and chaotic at the pier, a little patience and a cold drink from 7/11 goes a long way 🤣

United KingdomVery hilly! Getting too and from on a ped can be a little challenging for someone inexperienced. They do have golf buggys on site and will drop you too/from your villa though.
Amazing private villa with seaview. Staff were very good - picked up our bags from the ferry and took them to our room. Phone in villa to contact reception for free shuttle on check-out. Stocked mini bar (wine, bread, eggs, drinks well priced) and complimentary water. Good aircon in the room with slippers, beach bags and snorkels to use.

They provide a lot of services, such as snorkeling equipment, taxi pickup and drop, kayaking... for free. It was great!

United KingdomIt’s very far out, unable to walk although they do provide a shuttle, the timings can be a little inconvenient and one evening we they nearly drove past us which meant we would need to get a taxi which is around 400bt and some taxis refuse due to the hills and unsteady road. The last shuffle I believe was 9pm then you need to get a taxi
The villa was beautiful, it had everything you could possible need. The fridge had breakfast items, wine, beer, water and coke. There was a snack box full of treats. All had to be paid for, at check out but the items were no dearer than a normal shop so very useful. We was charged for something we didn’t use but they took it off with no problems. The pool and decking area was lovely. Bit of a walk to their snorkel area but lots of fish, the water was very choppy so we couldn’t go far and didn’t see any turtles unfortunately but will be amazing with calmer waters. The staff are great and will help you with anything including booking trips!

GermanyWe stayed at C 16 B which is above one of the main roads through the resort! To be honest, is was pretty loud all day, as the cars, by managing the steep roads, use only first gear which makes a lot of noise!!! They also offer free shuttle upon arrival and departure but only from and to the pier! The resort is very far away from everything e.g. you can’t walk to the beach, and riding a scooter one must really know how to!!! But the resort offers a couple of free shuttles during the day to several beaches and Saree!
Bungalow had everything needed, well equipped, view is amazing, pool lovely, outdoor furniture perfect to relax, sunbeds, umbrella, beachtowls. As the resort doesn’t have a restaurant there are lots of options for takeaway and we ordered with the local restaurants! Delivery within 30-45 min, lovely food! Everything is pretty organised for a place that rents out villas!

the villa was amazing and the view stunning. It is huge and the pool is clean and has a good temperature. The waves of the sea were sometimes really high and for me it was too difficult to get into the sea because I was a little bit afraid. But close to the place there a plenty of other beaches, that are really beautiful.
