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.).

AustraliaThere was construction next door, it wasn't constant though and wasn't disruptive after we put some music on.
Fantastic location, amazing views. The breeze at the top of the mountain and a dip in the pool is ideal after a long day snorkeling. They have done everything possible to make your stay as convenient as possible, even providing us with a phone to contact food delivery.

United KingdomThis whole villa is beautiful and the views are spectacular! Don't need to pay for the island viewpoints from here! Both Alex and Franzi are lovely and helpful (and Colin!) - they really have tried to think of providing EVERYTHING, including aloe Vera in the fridge for when you're sun burnt. The free scooter use as well is brilliant! Meet and great at the pier, free transfers. Superb.

ThailandHighly recommend this place if you’re looking for a luxury and private accommodation during your stay on koh tao. Especially the view ( sea view from every room ) is breathtaking! This is the perfect place for a romantic getaway! Beautiful beaches are very close to the villa and easy to check out with the bike which comes with your stay. The bed is very very cozy. We will come back for sure !

The villa has an amazing view that is just stunning. photos don’t do justice to how pretty the view is. We absolutely loved our stay. Alex and Franzi were both kind and warm. Alex picked us up personally from the pier which was much appreciated and then showed us around the villa. They go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. For instance, they have a motorbike kept for you which you can use throughout your stay, additionally they will pick you up and drop you off to the pier. additionally they even helped us with our tickets for the next island. Small but really kind gestures that are much appreciated. The villa is modern and has all the amenities. Besides if you need anything, Alex and Franzi are just one call away to help you out with whatever is needed. The pool is also very nice and has a breath taking view of the island. You can see Koh Phangan and Koh Ang Thong from the pool and also from the villa. We loved our stay at this villa. Lastly there are plenty of restaurants with a few minutes from the villa. Do visit high the moon if you are at the villa! Feels so sad leaving this amazing villa and this beautiful island.

Everything was exceptional. Alex and Franzi were super friendly, relaxed and enthousiastic about their villa. The villa itself is just amazing, very spacious, clean and luxurious. Swimming pool, smart tv and rain shower. We had privacy, a great view and drinking water. The scooter was for free, which was very convenient, as well. We wished we could have stayed longer and we can definitely recommend this villa to everyone who visits Koh Tao!

FranceHaving to leave :(
A wonderful experience.The villa was beyond our expectations: the view is simply sublime, the pool is great, the house is extremely well appointed (Franzi and Alex have thought of everything, down to the smallest detail), the furniture is comfortable... Big positive point for the automatic scooter, which avoids you to rent one to not necessarily honest renters. Franzi and Alex, the hosts, are adorable, discreet and extremely available. They organized everything from A to Z: the ferry tickets, the cab to the villa, the transfer to the airport... Everything was perfect. It was an incredible stay. Koh Tao is an exceptional island. We will come back with pleasure.

Absolutely everything!! The villa, the views, the location and the hosts Alex and Franzi! They were a treat and the way they hosted us and showed us around the property was incredible. The villa had everything we needed, from a shaded cabana outside to chill in the day with the most amazing panoramic views to bug sprays and mosquito repellents! We Netflixed and chilled inside the gorgeous living room when it rained! My wife and i had the most amazing time at Alex and Franzi's villa and it was the perfect end to our honeymoon!

United KingdomThere was AC but only in the bedroom (fans elsewhere) and the AC was not very effective. The location can feel quite isolated when it rains (which it did a lot while we stayed - we didn’t want to risk going out on the scooter in the stormy conditions). For accuracy, there is no streaming service - it’s a hard drive with lots of films on. The WiFi wasn’t always reliable. Power cuts were quite common - we had 6 in one evening, but this was perhaps linked to the weather, and it wasn’t a big problem because the power came back on quite quickly. There are a couple of steps in the bedroom, so be careful going to the bathroom in the night!
Lovely, very private apartment with beautiful views over the south east of Koh Tao. Alex and Franzi were very friendly and met us at the port, which was really helpful. They were also available to help anytime, which gave us peace of mind. The filtered drinking water was great. Free use of a scooter was ideal but also needed, as the apartment is up in the hills. Free use of a mobile phone with a local SIM card and several useful numbers already stored - fantastic. Mosquito nets on the window (although there were only mosquitos around when it rained). Takeaway menus were also provided which was helpful.
