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 KingdomShower could have more power.
Amazing staff, great location and very good price. Hotel is right on lovely beach. Need water shoes as small stones in water and there are better beaches on island but you’ll be at those on moped. Beach great for sunbathing and dip to cool off. Decent pool. This is close to pier only 15 min walk. Hotel clean, basic and shower could be more powerful but does the job. Great price. Firmish bed but comfy. Cheap moped rental from hotel 250 baht per bike per day.

United KingdomStrange attitude at reception. The receptionist wanted cash , then after 3 days rented our room out to another couple who were staying at the resort , despite us wanting to stay on. We were offered a much less nice room . When we tried to re book to return a few days later , the receptionist told as the hotel was full. Yet when we went online we had no trouble booking a room. So we checked in , and found there was a number of empty rooms . Maybe they wanted empty rooms to to be available at exorbitant prices for the full moon party the following weekend . In the 6 days we stayed at DaKanda , we saw no one who appeared to be a manager or supervisor . Only the receptionist and her assistant . The dining area was very dirty . Rubbish piled up in a disused section . We saw rats every night as our bungalow was behind the kitchen. The restaurant waiters and kitchen staff were all from Myanmar, which now seems to be the case on the islands in the South of Thailand. They were friendly and cheerful.

Austriathe beach is not so nice. the main staff at the reception is often unfriendly. They also had us change the room and after saying to get a new room after one night and packing everything up they only changed after two nights and didn’t even communicate to the night staff so that we had no idea what was happening when coming back at night.

AustriaThe sockets work, but you can't connect a charger because it falls out - with all sockets. The internet was always slow in the evening. Impossible to stream movies or watch series.The shower was very water saving, so you had to shower longer to get clean. A mosquito net would have been desirable for the room price.
Nice resort with very friendly staff. There is a shuttle service to the ferry every hour. You gqn rent a motorbike at the recption. The staff helps you with organizing tours around the island. The rooms are large, very clean, with a nice balcony. Kettle with coffee is available in the room, a small closet with safe and a spacious bathroom.

United KingdomThe air con wasn’t the best and the room did get a little stuffy. The shower was cold which was fine for us as it helped us cool down
Excellent bungalows within 1 minute of the beach. The pool area was lovely with a small bar. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with larger spaces for storing belongings. The property was well cleaned and our room was cleaned each day. We also received free transport to the port which was appreciated. The resort is within walking distance of good bars, gyms, restaurants and the Phangan food market. You could also rent a bike for a reasonable price to get around the island.

United KingdomThe restaurant was quite expensive for the quality. I booked a double bed but got given two singles, bed was very hard and the pillow was even harder.
This property is set in such a beautiful garden, with each bungalow set back in its own section. It looks busy but you really do feel like you’ve got your own space. The staff were really kind and helpful, as I’d just come out of hospital with Dengue fever. Not far from the ocean, an underrated beach it’s a little rocky.. but the sea is so peaceful even with the boats coming in and out of thong sala. Walking distance from the Main Street and 7/11 where there are loads of places to eat. The TV has Netflix and YouTube.
