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.).

AustraliaThe villas are a bit tired, the shower floods the bathroom and towels aren’t changed daily so remain wet. Would still recommend it to everyone though because of the location!

GermanyNothing, everything was great!
This is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach! Staff is super friendly, always smiling to you, rooms are very spacious, clean and comfy. Breakfast a la carte is great! The restaurant food was a nice surprise, having tex-mex food was not my expectation on a beach in Thailand but is was pretty tasty (I'm Mexican so take my advice and eat here). I would definitely come back to this place!

United KingdomThe beach has a few big rocks which makes it a bit more difficult to swim at low tide, but this wasn’t an issue for us. Long beach further north doesn’t have rocks. Breakfast was a la carte, not buffet style, but there were lots of options to choose from
We stayed in 2 resorts on the island and this one was our favourite (even though it was half the price of the other one). Small and cozy, very cute cottages, right on the beach. The food was very good.

ItalyThe resort is located right on the beach nearby a stream which most likely passes through the nearby village. We preferred to swim on the right hand side of the river where the water seemed to be cleaner.
Spatious, confortable and very clean bungalows,surrounded by a well maintained garden. Delicious breakfast and good restaurant a la carte. The main asset is the staff, always smily, super kind and ready to help. Our family had a greater time in Lanta Castaway and would definitely recommend it.

FinlandFood on the restaurant could be more tasty. Some people might miss a swimming pool. We did not need that! In the end, everything was perfect! Would totally stay again on Castaway Resort!
Resort was perfect and there was everything we needed. We stayed two weeks and it was so good. Breakfast included to our reservation and we get to choose from the menu list. Breakfast was okay, pretty decent. We ate few times on the resorts restaurant but then decided to eat elsewhere. Food is ok, but little overpriced and you can get better and cheaper food from a restaurant just next to. But if you are tired and don't want to leave or you just want to eat by the sea and watch the sunset, it's totally worth it! The beachbar was so great! Maybe little overpriced, BUT you get the beach view !! Beach was super. It was so great to start mornings with little beach walk and swim a little. What was best, was the bungalow! We loved it!! It was super cozy and you get a housekeeping and cleaning every day! Please remember to leave a little tip to the maids! On the resort you can also go to the massage. That was so great! There's also diving and snorkeling opportunity but we skipped that. You can also rent a motorbike by the reception. You can get a little cheaper rents elsewhere on the village, but we thought that this was easy way to avoid the scams. And it was easy to get and return the bike by the resort. After stayed two weeks on Lanta and discovered whole island by motorbike, we thought that the location was actually really good. Could be the best on the island. Staff was super friendly and helpful!

United StatesNot any fault of this very lovely resort but the beach has some rocks, particularly at low tide so it wasn't that fun for swimming but if you walked down a little to the right it was easier.
This is a lovely, classy beach resort. Very well maintained, nice design, good value, quiet, comfortable bungalows with a porch you can use. Staff were wonderful, food was great and you can book excursions on site. Nice beach chairs in the sand and on the deck. Beautiful views. If you walk out to the main road , take a right go past the 7 11 we found a great place to eat, the Cozy Restaurant.
