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 KingdomBecause it’s so big, you don’t get the same attention or care as a smaller place or a hotel starting out. So some things aren’t the best like, you need to book the spa far in advance, breakfast was insanely busy- I couldn’t fight my way to the coffee machine and it’s cleaning was mediocre.
The view is incredible!! Genuinely so stunning and the room felt properly private.

United KingdomNobody tells you how many steps there are. We were in 714. The amount of steps to get up to the room are a joke, we actually counted and it was 90 steps. We only counted because we couldn’t believe how many steps there were. We were not warned about this. We asked if we could change rooms to be closer as I have a disability which makes it difficult for me to walk especially in the heat but we were told there were no rooms. Some mornings we wouldn’t go down for breakfast because the thought of having to walk back up in the heat would not be good for me. We booked a sea view room, we couldn’t see the sea, it was blocked by trees and the other buildings in front of our room.
The hotel ground are gorgeous and the bay is private so it’s always very quiet and chilled. The staff are super friendly and the pools are all great!

AustraliaFor people who don’t like steps there are a lot. The transfer service back to hotel was only once per day or night. This meant it cost 400B every time you wanted to go out for dinner somewhere different.

GermanyThe photos of the hotel are definitely a bit older and many areas in the hotel should receive maintenance work. The pool bathrooms were super dirty and smelly most of the time, which is a no go in my opinion. House keeping did not clean our toilet after coming by and there was also no toilet brush in the room. The restaurant, bar and spa are totally overpriced (e.g. fresh coconut for like 6€).
Spacious room with comfortable beds and nice view of surrounding trees and bay. The private beach was beautiful! Breakfast was tasty and offered a lot of choice. Surprise serenade by staff accompanied with sticky rice for my wife's birthday! :)

Czech RepublicThe room might be more spacious, especially the bathroom - a shower next to a toilet and a sink in the main bedroom was not so comfortable. For someone, the location might be a quite far from the "center", however there is a great shuttle service.
The location of the hotel with a private and one of the most beautiful beaches in Koh Tao is great. The service is on a high level, the staff is super helpful and nice. Breakfasts were good with a plenty of choice, the evening restaurant is average. We enjoyed calm and holiday atmosphere and we will definitely be back some time. Thank you!

PolandThe room was extremely dirty. A lot of black hair, dirty pillows, ripped, old, gray sheets were worst than in the worst hostel. Dirty windows, and under the sleeping table bunch of dirt and hairs. No isolation in the windows and doors. There is no safety net in the bathroom so I meet big black jumping spider. The cleaning lady even do not exchange the towel with dead spider, only put it upside down. The hotel is overprices and all bad opinions here are right. Delay with bar opening and expensive food and drinks. Food was fine but nothing special.
Beautiful common spaces, pool and view for the sea. I like Dave from the stuff, he was super nice and looks like good person.

AustriaRoom could have been a bit cleaner, but was standard for Thailand. Some handywork could be better (e.g. the balcony doors don’t close properly). But this is complaining on a high level. We stayed nearly 3 weeks and were very happy.
Beach view from the room, atmosphere by the pools and at the restaurant, happy helpful staff, overall a really great place and surely one of the nicest, if not the nicest, on the island, with reasonable pricing compared to other places. Food and drinks (breakfast okay, and dinner really good) were also really good.

Also, we waited 15 minutes by the bar by the pool and no stuffs come around. Not enough stuffs to take care of guests. It’s like we booked the room. Not for service or anything else. Disappointed.
