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 KingdomWe hired bikes one afternoon which were not in the best condition with flat tires. But they did give us a discounted rate as we only had them for a few hours rather than the day. The WiFi could be a little spotty sometimes.
We had a great stay here! The room was a really good size, with a mini fridge and a safe. We had a great decking area/ balcony outside of our bungalow with seating and a place to dry clothes which had a beautiful view. The team and the bungalows were absolutely brilliant. It is a little difficult to get around without a scooter (there is a 7-11 and a few places to eat about a 30 minute walk away) but the team at the hostel drove us to the other side of the island for the day and then picked us up again for 700 baht which was much cheaper than the local taxi service. They also picked us up from, and took us back to the pier. They provided a great breakfast which consisted of fried rice, toast, fruit and coffee.

HungaryThere was a weird smell in my bathroom, when I told them they came up directly, cleaned and used a lot of a air freshener, but an hour later the smell was back, seems like an issue with the water pipes. They apologized a lot. I stayed only one night, in the end was not a big issue.
Nice view, staff are so helpful and friendly they helped me a lot. You can rent a motorbike or you can use a bicycle, both options available. I enjoyed my stay.

SloveniaFor a littlebit we missed a pool :) and diversity at breakfast.
We loved the peace at the property and island overall. Resting place was nice quiet place, 3-10min scooter ride from bars, 7eleven and 15-20 minutes ride from Yao Yai best beaches and elephant care. We could rent scooter at the property for 250BHT/day. The stuff are really helpful and you get big breakfast everyday.

Fantastic staff - couldn’t do enough for you - very nice views from veranda - rooms had all required amenities. Breakfast was fabulous - lots of choice and lots of it to set you up for the day. Offered a great taxi service at good price too

SloveniaWe wish we stayed longer! Resting place excided my expectations 🙌 They picked us up from the pier, wrote to me 1 day prior arrival to ask time of arrival to arrange our pickup. Everyone was kind, warm and with a smile on their face. Great view, enough space, and we got to rent our motorbike here. Breakfast was amazing, roti, egg, fried rice, fresh fruit and tea. Peacefull sleep at night and also 2 bottles of water every day. It's the little things that make all the difference. Hope we get to come back again 🙋♀️

NorwayJust make sure you can drive a moped if you visit the Island, since the restaurants are quite far apart🤞🏼
This is the best service I have recieved ever when traveling in Thailand and I have been here 6 times. The «bungalows» are very cozy and the staff are wonderful. The owner does everything to make you’re stay nice and I am so happy I chose to stay at Resting Place. If you are visiting Ko Yao Yai, this is the place to be😁
