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.).

ChinaI forgot to mention to the owners that there was an issue with the shower keeping a steady temperature. A small problem that didn’t take away from an otherwise perfect experience.
Probably the best place I have stayed, ever. Absolutely loved it. The villas and the property in general are pristine, all recently renovated. The location is also great on a quiet beach that is a short walk from a larger beach. Several good restaurants close by. The staff was wonderful and made everything completely stress free. Special thanks to Nee for helping me clean my cut foot.

We had our lovely honeymoon trip at this place and it was amazing. The main contribution to our lovely stay was the exemplary services from the staff. We especially appreciate Mr. Nee and his above and beyond services and advices during our stay (you can ask him about what to do and which tour package would fit your schedule and condition). The resort is very new and well maintained, the beach is beautiful, and all the small details along with the effort of the owners made this resort truly unique. The masseuse guy was amazing with lovely view to the beach.

NetherlandsEverything was perfect
Upon arrival we immediately decided to prolong our stay. This place feels like paradise. The villas are very comfortable, nicely decorated and they are all located in a beautiful garden overlooking the sea. However it was the lovely staff who made are stay very special. They are so attentive, kind and service minded. They really deserve a big compliment! Also great is to have dinner in the open air restaurant on their private beach. We arrived at Krabi airport and the transportation (on request) was very well organised by the owners of the resort. The taxi driver was waiting for us in the arrival hall and it took us two and a half hours to arrive at our destination. We already miss Koh Lanta and are looking forward to returning one day. Thanks for everything and making our stay in Thailand so special!

BulgariaNothing really.
Brand new, very big and nice villas, very beautiful surroundings, great care for everything you may need - from transfers to pier, renting scooter to some local recommendations and massage. The owners Jackie and Sam are great and always around if you need something but they have great story with Thailand. Food in the restaurant is better than what you can get around, really recommend the Masaman curry meatball appetizer - great mix of European and Thai taste. Also the great atmosphere for a dinner on the beach.

Netherlandswe had a wonderful stay at the resort . We stayed in a Villa with partial sea view and the room was even better looking than the pictures. The rooms are very clean and well maintained ; the staff is very friendly ; the breakfast was good. The resort beach is very nice and a bit excluded . The resort’s restaurant is very nice located in the beach. we also recommend going for massage at the resort . I had 2 massages which were both great :). One can also organized different tours to the other island from the hotel.

SwedenNothing! its perfect!
If you are going to Koh Lanta you have to stay here. It is the best place. We had a wonderful time here. Everything is perfect. Great food, great beach, great pool. The bungalows are super nice. Everything is well thought through and the hosts really make you feel at home. Don't let other reviews fool you (from pre december 2022), the place has new owners and it has been completely redesigned. We stayed at some supposedly 5-star places in Thailand and this is way better. Highly recommended! Still dreaming about the breakfast, and the dinners and all of it :) We even got an upgrade.

We initially booked through Booking.com for 7 nights in Bungalow A1 which was front line, we had such a nice time we extended our stay for another 7 nights in Bungalow C2 (from memory) which has an equally amazing sea view. This resort is hard to beat, the owners, Sam and Jacquie have done an outstanding job in creating a brand new amazing boutique resort which is situated in a fantasitc location. The bungalows lack nothing and are extremely well appointed. Sitting around the pool or on the beach the sea view is just amazing, a few paces away is the bar and the bar staff are excellent, they make superb cocktails and delicious food. We would definably stay in with Sam and Jacquie again, nothing was too much trouble for them and I can highly recommend the Lanta Palace Beach Resort

NetherlandsIt was highly inconvenient to reach as it requires a 2 hour journey from the Krabi airport, but it was easy to arrange an airport transfer with the hotel. The mosque right next door has a call to prayer five times or more a day on loud speaker (including at 5am) which is not very pleasant when you’re sleeping. The food was mediocre at best, and the vegetarian options were not great. The first room my friend got had insects and needed to switch rooms. I also had insects in my room from the mosquito net but not as many, however still disappointing given how much money we are spending for this stay. While most of the staff are sweet, it is difficult to communicate with them as their levels of English are poor or vary. Some of their attitudes left us a little confused, and some of them were really kind so the level of service also varied. The shower was beautiful, but the pressure was quite poor and smelled a bit weird. There could’ve been more complimentary water in the villas. I know they are a fairly recent hotel, but we didn’t feel that the prices charged matched the level of expected service at that price tag. The location is so great, that we hope they will work on these issues for the future.
The location and the fact it was on the beach was fantastic. The design and decor of the villas was great. The pool was also really nice, and we appreciated the fruit snacks during pool time.

Germanyall in all the experience here is priced way too high for what you get. some examples: - We booked a „Seaview“ room for a reasonable extra price. when we arrived we were brought to a room with no Seaview. The staff told us this would be correct. Because we paid extra for Seaview we’ve complained that we wanted to see the view. We then got another one which was nice, but that shouldn’t happen in the first place! - We rented a scooter via the hotel which was double the price vs. across the street, which we found out later. It’s okay to ask for more in a hotel, but 800THB for a basic scooter for 2 days is way too much. - The worse was the return. We have asked for a transfer to Ao Nang. When we asked the reception, they offered us 2 options. 1. Private shuttle by car + car ferry for 3.200 THB 2. Shuttle bus to ferry + ferry. 700 THB. I double checked with the owner who confirmed that this would be a public ferry to Ao Nang Pier. When the shuttle picked us up we also picked up 11 other people + luggage, then drove to the car ferry - in the end it was not a ferry but a car transfer with car ferry. So we had to sit 3.5h in a van with no working air con, 11 people + luggage! No option to go to the toilet. An absolute nightmare. When we messaged the hotel, they just said this is what we booked. No, this was not clearly communicated, our understanding was even reconfirmed by the owner! we would have never booked this! As a result, this is not what I expect when paying >750€ for 3 nights. Earlier the same week we paid 640€ for 2 nights at Pimalai Resort Ko Lanta. And they for example had a free of charge „only Pimalai guests“-transfer to Ao Nang…
The hotel Location is very nice, the beach is wonderful and the stuff at the restaurant is very friendly. Also the dinner is very good, little pricey but it’s worth the money I‘d say. The owner Sam is a lovely person who is very open to help.
