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.).

Nice big spacious room, clean, access to the beach, nearby restaurants, supermarket and motorbike rental. Walking distance from the centre but very quiet at night for a good night of sleep. Manager and staff very friendly and helpful.

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

NetherlandsSome parts outside were a bit run down, however, there was a lot of construction going on, so maybe that was just because it was preseason.

AustraliaInfrequency of room service. WiFi dodgy. Overall, though pretty good for a 'Two' star hotel given where it's situated.
Price/location ratio measures up. Integration with surrounding businesses/services e g.massage services, eateries, transport. 'American breakfast' is OK Proximity to beach (right on it), Genuinely helpful and inviting owner/staff. Very welcoming.

United KingdomI loved everything
I liked EVERYTHING !!! The deluxe bungalow was very big , with its own little terrace , extremely clean , perfect air conditioning , clean towels and sheets every day! It is a family run business and Koi (I hope I have spelt her name Correctly) the owner is probably the most lovely person I have ever met not only here in Thailand but ever! Nothing is too much trouble for her and you ask for one thing and in minutes it is done . She always has a smile and that beautiful energy from her spreads all over Magic Resort! She gives service like a 5* hotel. I have no idea why Magic resort has a low star rating when it deserves so much more.. especially after seeing so many hotels travelling all around Thailand I extended my stay there and am planning to go and stay there for a month in April . The location is literally on the beach and near to the Main Street in Lamai and the night market. It is very very relaxed no rules , you can go out to eat (2 mins from awesome restaurants) or just bring a take away back to the bungalow. The room has a large fridge too … honestly whoever is reading this , I cannot express enough here how awesome Magic Resort is and the incredible , wonderful Koi. All age groups there and i didn’t hear one compliant ! I am a 58 year old woman and in my career travelled all over the world and stayed in so many hotels mostly 5* … here in Koh Samui I would choose Magic Resort over any soulless big hotel. Thank you Magic Resort and Koi for the wonderful experience and I will see you in April .. lots of love Suzi from number 7
