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.).

ThailandNothing to dislike.
The most pleasant, modern looking accomodation, clean, spotless , comfy bed. Mr Yim very friendly helpful and makes sure that all his guests are taken care of. He was there to welcome me and made sure that I was settling in okay, showed me where to find shops and restaurants around the area, he even drove me to Old town at a reasonable fee and waited for me to shop around. He bought us treats for breakfast when I opened the door in the morning there were outside my room. I felt very special . I highly recommend this place. There's free coffee in the rooms, free water. Good value for money as well. It is close to the beach, in a quiet area. I will return when I visit Thailand again.

The owner Mr Yim was so helpful and welcoming! He gave great local recommendations and helped with booking buses etc. He also brought fresh watermelon one day. Overall it’s a quiet location close to a few good restaurants and 5 minutes from the beach. The place was clean and there was water and towels in the room too.

Lanta Smile Inn and Mr. Yim, the owner and manager, are the best!! What a fabulous stay we had🥰. The facility is well-stocked with everything and is squeaky clean. Mr. Yim goes out of his way to make everything perfect for his guests. He knows everything, and/ or will find out from tours to where to find things. The daily fruit and snacks are just the cherry ontop. We extended our stay with another few nights and will be back. We have made a good friend.

United KingdomNothing it was all modern, if there were any problems and Mr. Yim would sort anything (finished your coffee / needed a taxi/ tour booked) We had no issues at all. Would stay here again!
When we arrived we were greeted by Mr. Yim who was extremely friendly and also gave us a plate of fresh papaya fruit whilst he took down our details. He was very helpful if we needed anything like tours, taxi, scooter hire. He even got us discounts. Every afternoon when we returned from our days out, we were given complimentary fresh fruit to share. I highly recommended staying here. On our last day he even gave me a lift on his scooter to a shop when I forgot to buy food for my travels.

United KingdomAbsolutely beautiful hidden gem! This place is perfect, I only booked for 2 days but extended my stay for 5nights. The location is great, opposite long beach and on the same road as many restaurants. Mr Yim the owner was amazing and very accommodating from the moment I arrived and he feeds you lots of fresh fruit! You can book everything through him for a very good price. I booked a 4 island tour with him. Laundry service is also available and very fast! The rooms are very comfortable with ac, fridge, kettle, hot water and a nice patio to sit outside. Room was cleaned with new bedding, towels etc. A very relaxed and chilled place, I will definitely come back and stay here.

This was our third stay at Lanta Smile Inn. It's our favourite place to stay in Koh Lanta. It's clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Yim is such a wonderful host. He is always there to help you out and regularly provides fresh fruit and snacks, which is so kind. Pop the cleaner is also super friendly and smiley. Thanks Yim for another great stay! :)

United KingdomThe room had I everything I needed, were clean and comfortable just off the main road which meant it was quiet at night. The game changer is Mr Yim, the owner. He is very caring and can help you with anything you may need from giving you fresh fruit to helping you book trips, rent scooters, do laundry and more. In my case in particular I had maade a mistake and booked the room for the wrong days and I only realised when he was texintg me via booking to see what time I'm coming. I apologised, cancelled the booking but because it was too late he had no obligation to refund me. He was kind enough to only charge me for the first two of the 7 nights I had booked and refunded me the rest. He had no obligation to do this and for that I am grateful to him.
