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.).

CanadaHot water wasn't consistent, as mentioned breakfast was decent at best. Other than that, nothing I didn't like.
Great views, very polite friendly staff. The breakfast was decent was expecting to be a bit better if I am being honest. The room itself was fantastic and I could stay here again. Pool view was great!

GermanyYou have to rely on the shuttle to go to beaches or restaurants.
We booked this hotel very spontaneously as it was close to our dive shop and we had a very nice time here. The room was very big and clean and we especially appreciated the friendly and attentive staff. The hotel does not have access to the beach but you can book a shuttle or use the nice pool. Overall a very pleasant stay.

NetherlandsIts a steep climb by foot. Free shuttle available but if you rent a motorbike, makes it a lot easier.
Amazing location, views, pool, staff, you name it. Booked for 3 days, spend a week. Amazing big room with great views over the island. Nice and quiet, clean and green, yet close to beach and great restaurants and beach bars. Bit more pricier than average if you take sea view room but definitely worth it.

The hotel is located 15 minutes drive from saeeri beach. Amazing view and big rooms and extremely clean. We didn’t take breakfast at the hotel, but the hotel has free shuttle at any time to Chalok baan kao bay which has lots of great places for breakfast. The hotel also offers free shuttles to saeeri beach, pier, shark bay and freedom bay. Very recommended.

United KingdomBathroom issue with cockroach still coming from bathroom very uncomfortable for us for 2 nights One of the drivers shuttle very unprofessional , just asking for money when was free shuttle at 10:30 ask for money anyway . Rude and bad attitude when returning to take us back with 1 hour delay . It's a shame as we was waiting for him one hour at 17:15 as for shuttle table time and we told him please come back at 17:15 at gas station , he doesn't appears to care about ,he come at 18:10 and when we ask please can you take us back he reply " maybe " sarcastic . It's a shame to treat people like this , specially the customers of the hotel make us feel uncomfortable . Very polite instead when was paid for a private ride . One person like this make people feel uncomfortable and put all the hotel in a bad reputation it's a shame for the beautiful hotel and other nice and friendly staff . We enjoy staying at this hotel except for that experience with that driver. Thank you for all your hospitality. Internet sometimes poor .
Nice pool stunning view Staff very friendly and helpful Breakfast is really good ( bufet ) Nice large Room with sea view Food at restaurant very good but slightly expensive

United KingdomFirstly, the staff were amazing, very attentive and always on hand to help. The location is superb with views for days, incredible. If you're staying here, I'd personally get a motorbike as the hill up to the accommodation will be a nightmare in the heat. Been Koh Tao a handful of times and this was my forst stay here. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThe view is unreal. Koh Tao was hot hot hot while we were there and the benefit of having a breeze cannot be overrated!! Unwind in the pool and enjoy the breeze and the view. I felt this hotel was at the pricier end of the scale for us but the view, and breeze that came with it, made it well worth it! The shuttle service up and down the hill was fantastic. Hardly ever had to wait more than 5 mins, if at all. Chalok bay had everything we needed: variety of restaurants and 7/11. We saw the turtle in Sharks bay too and found an excellent dive course with Nava too. Again this hotel is a little tired, and a little basic but totally passable. breakfast wasn’t fantastic but there was a good selection of Asian and western food. It was very quiet in the evenings too. We were always the last up when the bar closed at ten. All said and done in terms of location I would definitely cook this place again. I think it would be hard to beat.

United KingdomThe description on booking.com is incorrect. there is no massages / spa area. I was annoyed as I booked it for my girlfriend based on this as I thought it was a spa type resort.
it is a really nice property with very friendly staff and a wonderful location if you want a nice quiet stay. Reasonably priced restaurant and bar.

GermanySome days there was an unpleasant smell from the sewers in the bathroom.
Amazing view over the bay, panoramic windows. Clean and comfortable room with always fresh bed. Hygienic set was there. Great breakfast. Spectacular pool with a view over two bays. You can enjoy the view of the stars at night laying on the cozy nets. Energy of the hotel lets you enjoy your stay at 100%. Especially I would like to point out that the hotel offers yoga classes. We tried two classes and we are beginners. We really enjoyed the yoga classes and discovered something new for us. The yoga trainer is very experienced and has positive energy, thus you get great yoga experience.

United KingdomIt’s bit dated as a hotel - old style decor (but what makes it more affordable) It’s far from the main town centre - we only stayed here after spending 5 days in the centre. If this was your only stay in Koh Tao it’s not the best location. There is a free shuttle bus to the centre but it was at either at 5pm or 8pm - nothing inbetween. And if you got the bus at 8pm one you’d have to pay for a taxi back (I think was around 400 baht) The food was a good standard but expensive compared to places in town
INCREDIBLE view from infinity pool, one of the highlights of my Thailand holiday was watching the sunset from this pool!! Really close to some beautiful beaches and free shuttle to them Friendly staff Free shuttle bus service into main town

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Paradise Resort, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Perched atop a scenic hillside, this resort boasts the most breathtaking views on the island. From the moment I stepped onto my terrace, I was greeted by panoramic vistas that allowed me to witness both the mesmerising sunrise and the captivating sunset each day. The beauty of nature alone made my stay worthwhile. Moreover, the exceptional service provided by the staff truly enhanced my stay. The staff members were not only professional and attentive but also genuinely warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was nothing short of perfect. And let's talk about the food and cocktails—phenomenal would be an understatement! Each meal was a culinary delight, with an extensive menu offering a variety of delectable options to suit every palate. Whether indulging in local delicacies or savouring international cuisine, every dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavour. And the cocktails? Simply divine! From classic favourites to innovative creations, each sip was a taste of paradise. Beyond the culinary delights, the resort's ambiance exuded an irresistible charm. From the lush tropical gardens to the tranquil poolside oasis, every corner of the resort was meticulously designed to create a serene and inviting atmosphere. Whether lounging by the pool or strolling through the grounds, I found myself immersed in a world of relaxation and luxury. In conclusion, my stay was nothing short of magical. With its unparalleled views, exceptional service, exquisite dining, and captivating ambiance, it truly exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend this resort highly enough and cannot wait to return for another unforgettable experience.
