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 Kingdom- everything was perfect.
Everything. From the amazing private pool to the location and the kindness of the staff. Everyone was extremely friendly and helped us with everything we needed. The food was delicious and the cocktails were great and they also had room service which was very nice. It was the cleanest accommodation we stayed in Thailand and the room was extremely spacious, very nicely decorated and had everything you might need. They also have laundry service and you can rent a scooter from them. The position on the island is very good, you can see the sunrise right from your room. My favourite place in Thailand and I would come back there every time.

Upon checking in, they suggested us to upgrade to the room with a pool, and we took it - best decision ever. It was amazing to swim in the private pool with views of the sea. The staff is very polite and helpful, you can count with their support for any inquiry/service, including motorbike rental. Great selection for breakfast, I liked their chicken rice soup. Room is clean and cozy. Includes bath robes. There's an amazing restaurant on the other side of the road, Seaside, a must go. We went there 3 times during our 2 night stay. The restaurant at the Hilltop is also good. If we're ever back to Koh Yao Yai, we'll definitely consider staying here again.

AustraliaNo issues really! There were references in the info booklet in the room to dialing 0 etc to get Reception, yet there was no phone in the room. That was a bit weird. That's the only negative I can think of!! The island might be a bit quiet for some and not having our own transport we wouldn't really have wanted to stay more than the three nights we did, but we felt so lucky to have experienced the tranquillity of this place. And if you hire a scooter I'm sure you could stay longer and be very happy.
Our room was lovely and large. The bathroom was exceptional. It was huge, in fact it had its own rooms! There was a toilet cubicle, a large shower cubicle, a cubby with a spa bath, and a general relaxing area with basin. I just felt so incredibly spoilt. The best feature though was the private pool. I've never had a private pool before and I felt like I'd really arrived in the world. It was amazing. My daughter and I particularly enjoyed our after dark swims before bed. It was so serene, so incredibly quiet, and so beautiful. And the views!!! It was a very quiet and small resort yet the food in the restaurant when we ate there for lunch was surprisingly excellent, and very reasonably priced. Also, there's a lovely beach restaurant across the road and down the footpath to the beach.

NetherlandsIt's a two-person room, yet our neighbors invited guests till late and sat chatting out all night, which kind of ruined the private vibe of the pool and the relaxed atmosphere. There was a whole family on the other side, with very quiet kids, so no issue there. But the staff should prevent people from inviting guests over because it is disturbing to the others.
Private pool, great room, very nice people and just a great stay.

IrelandHad a horrendous experience in the near by bar down by the beach (forgot its name) on New Years Eve due to fireworks exploding. Myself and my daughter are stilltraumatised from it. NOTHING to do with Hillside accomadation & sorry we didnt stay in the Hillside hotel for New Year Eve instead of paying for an over priced event that was ruined by bad weather (unavoidable, I know) & exploding fireworks that we were extrememly lucky to escape uninjured.
Had an amazing time. Location was fab, nice and quiet. Very comfortable room, spotlessly clean. Pool was a great choice. Staff are very accommodating & food in restaurant was delicious. We'll definately be back.

IrelandAs others have said, the outside of the villas could be updated somewhat. No real issue with it though.
I spent six really relaxing days at Hillside Resort. Staff are excellent - very friendly and helpful with everything. Easy scooter rental and transfer back to Phuket airport was easily arranged. The villa was very clean and comfortable with daily turn down service. Bed was comfortable and showers good. The plunge pool was essential for me. Breakfast was good. The on site restaurant is also a decent option for lunch and dinner if you want to stay on site.
