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.).

My 2nd stay at this super little family-run place in Lamai, situated right next to the beach. Khun Goi and her team are genuinely lovely people and it's my go-to place now. I just wish I'd been able to stay a lot longer! No pool but you don't need it with the beach close by with good swimming conditions. Restaurant, great massage and jet-ski hire all available.

FranceWouldn't change a thing.
This is one of the few remaining small family run places among the growing up-market resorts, and we loved it! The staff were exceptional (the owner getting up early to make us a take-away breakfast on our last day), the guy on the beach moving the umbrellas around for us as the sun moved, their helpfulness in booking things for us. They couldn't do enough. We had a basic room (small) but it had an excellent bathroom, a/c and a little terrace. And out of four other places we stayed throughout Thailand, it was the cheapest and the only one to provide enough sun-loungers. Yey! Also had my best massage ever there. And we were glad to see the local people are still walking the beach selling their wares and cooking corn-on-the-cob - they seem to have been chased from other beaches on the island.

CanadaIf y ooo u get a room close to street, it’s thumping loud. Lamai and Chaweng beaches are the same. Loads of people and jet skis. There is a lot more nicer beaches but depends on what type of vacation you’re looking for

EstoniaAs commented before, the facilities need some care. Specially the walkway in the resort. Lots of holes in it. I didn’t think much about it until on the last night (in the dark) I stumbled in one of the big holes in front of our bungalow while being 6 months pregnant. Twisted my leg, scratched and bruised the other and got some ugly whole on my hand. Not a happy way to end the island trip.
Good beachfront location with budget friendly cost(compared to next door resorts). Nearby lots of different restaurants and night markets.

Czech RepublicThe accommodation was absolutely fine. Very quiet and at the same time very close to all shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. The possibility of renting a scooter in the accommodation without any haggling like in other rental shops, where they look for any scratch to get money out of you. I can only recommend!!! Wifi works as it should. Thank you

FranceGood value for the price. I payed 30 euros for 2 nights for a room with a fan. Rooms with AC are more expensive (25 euro/night) and I didn't think it was worth that much. The location is very pretty, green with plants and the staff is true to Thaï standards 🙏 Loved the experience, the room (big room with bathroom and fridge), away from the parties of other beaches.

ThailandIt's just difficult with car parking space if you travel with a car. Resort can accommodate maximum 3 cars, but difficult to turn around, go in and go out. But if you without car it's perfect value for money. I would come back again.

United KingdomPillows - hard and high. La Mi Beach - was dirty and the sea was always unsettled , big waves prevent kids from swimming.
Great bungalows right on the beach - basic and simple, but clean and refreshed, and you have everything you need: king size bed, storey-bed, shower, hot water, air con, fridge, TV. The only thing what I was missing - hairdryer :) Resort has also own jet ski for rent and scooters. Restaurant serves good food Thai and European. Location - in the heart of Koh Samui. Very good. Street food market , massages , entertainment, shops - all in minutes walking Stuff and service - great and helpful
