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 KingdomYou get what you pay for, and, this really was great value for money so I really can't complain.
The room was very good value for money. This becomes a little more expensive during the Water Festival. Reservations via the hotel directly were more expensive than booking via booking.com.

United KingdomA massive cockroach crawled out of the sink as soon as we arrived with ants by the kettle area. The mattresses weren't the comfiest & the air con was noisy and requires re-gassing. Overall, the price we paid was not what we received and it definitely wasn't a 3 star hotel.
The swimming pool was nice and chilled. The room was cleaned very quickly. Breakfast staff were very friendly.

United StatesI think I read similar other reviews mentioning that this place is broken down. It looks passable from the outside but the insides were falling apart and dilapidated. You could also smell burning garbage for half the day--yes they were literally burning garbage in a giant pile not too far from our door front for hours. Most of the cheap places in Thailand have paper thin walls/windows that don't function in a closed position (allowing mosquito passage) and this was no exception. You could hear the large French family next door like they were inside your own room with cigarette smells all night to add...you get what you pay for.
The one pro about coming here was it's comfortable walking distance to Railay Beach in relation to the price. Tonsai was cheaper and less touristy but we wanted to see what the climbing was like over on this side.

CanadaCommunication with resort staff was not very helpful or accommodating on Booking.com messages/chat, but no issues at all during our stay.
Railay is pretty small so everything is in walking distance. We were worried there was no transportation, but it was easy to get from the floating pier to the hotel which was less than a 10 minute walk. The location is great! It is steps away from everything (restaurants, shops, massage places, tour booths, beaches, etc). The breakfast options were pretty moderate. From the pictures, it looked like the resort was dated, but the property looks a lot better in person. The limestone cliffs in the background was a beautiful view. The pool was also very beautiful.
