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.).

New ZealandKata is a noisy place as it's full of life during day and especially at night, so of course you can hear the traffic in the room. And unfortunately for the owners there is a massive construction site right at the back of the hotel... But to enjoy the entertaining heart of kata and still have access to the beach, it's the best location !
I highly recommend this hotel!!! The room were super comfy (especially the bed) and beautiful decoration. I loved the beach bag with a mat and towels, great idea!! The staff was super friendly and helpful, they even drove us to our next hotel when we checked out ! The housekeeping lady was the best, a wonderful woman with a good heart. The food at the restaurant was very tasty and at reasonable prices.

United KingdomWe came back one day to a note on our door asking us to go and speak to them about paying. Not sure why as the same lady said she wouldn’t be there the following day, but she was there when we checked out the following day - avoidable stress!
We enjoyed our stay here. It was conveniently located a short walk from the beach and shops. Comfortable bed and cold fridge for drinks.

CanadaThe location was somewhat noisy during the day - not because of traffic or the businesses nearby, but because of construction in the lot adjacent. There's nothing to be done about this, and I have to say that the hotel did an amazing job of keeping the property dirt and dust-free. Since we were out during the day this noise wasn't a huge problem, but it might be if you wanted to take an afternoon nap!
This is a little gem of a place. Staff were very personable, wonderfully kind and attentive. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable. Beach towels and beach bag were a bonus for our walks to the beaches. The location is great, with easy access to beaches, shops, restaurants and the Night Market. Loved the Kata Walking Street - steps away! And having a great restaurant right there made some decisions about meals simpler! We also got excellent help from Ian planning our travel to our next destination.

United StatesEverything was perfect at the Sugar & Spice Inn! The owner, staff and housekeeper were so warm, friendly and helpful, really making me feel safe and at home. The location is perfect, just minutes walk from the fabulous beach and steps from everything you could want, including the great night market! The room was very big, clean and comfortable with lots of amenities, including 2 giant bottles of drinking water replenished every day. There’s even a private back balcony where you can dry your clothes/swimsuit!

United StatesStreet noise could be a problem and bathroom had a slight odor (drain).
The staff were great. There was a nearby fire on the power pole that knocked out our electricity. The staff proactively worked to move us to a temporary hotel up the street for the night. The hotel is very close to a street market where there is cheap and tasty food.

United StatesDue to the location directly on a busy street, there is loud music and traffic noise that you will have throughout the day and into the night. It would be nice to offer guests the option to include breakfast when booking since the restaurant is located just below the hotel.
The staff at this property are wonderful, especially the manager who works in the Sugar and Spice Restaurant downstairs. She was very helpful in finding us an alternative hotel to stay at for one night of our stay when an electrical fire down the street caused the whole block to lose power for 24 hours. The hotel itself is dated, but it's hard to complain when the price of this hotel is competitive and the location is right on the main Kata street. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. The bathroom has a wet shower, though we would recommend that the property provide squeegees for the guests to use to help the floor dry quicker. There is a wonderful local food market just across the street from the property. There are also several restaurants, convenience stores, and shops all within walking distance. The beach takes about 10 mins to walk to if you decide to not rent a scooter. The Wi-Fi speeds were decent enough to stream videos.

CanadaThe washrooms definitely need some upgrading. The drainage in the shower isn’t the greatest and the water would build up making the whole floor in the bathroom wet. The thing that probably bothered us the most was the smell walking up into our room in the stairway. It is a very strong unpleasant smell. We would not be able to sit out on the little balcony in front because of it. It was so strong I dreaded going to and from our room. There was also a sewer type smell from our washroom at times.
The staff at sugar and spice are exceptional, they were always so friendly and helpful. Someone always spoke to us when we were going to and from our room. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the room was very clean. The location is amazing!! Right next to the kata night market and 7 minutes walk to Kata Beach. We also liked how they provided a beach bag, towels, and beach rug to use at the near by beach.

Spacious room and absolutely clean. Little balcony to dry beach towels and swimsuits. Very comfy beds. Good bathroom with hot shower. Close to the beach, shops, restaurants and the night market, which we’ve been to almost every day. You get a fridge and small seating area in and in front of your room. Two water bottles every day and beach towels plus a beach mat. Very friendly and helpful manager and tour office lady.
