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.).

United StatesIt's very much the indoor/outdoor living type of building so there are a lot of lizards and other critters in the hallways. There were ants in my room. I didn't feel comfortable getting in the pool because the water was cloudy. The owner stated that it was because the chlorine needed to filter through the filtering system and that it should clear up, but it didn't clear up over the course of my 3 day stay.
The owners were very welcoming and helpful. They offer pickup and drop off at the pier, scooter rentals (which didn't require passport or a deposit when I was there), and tour and ferry bookings. I really appreciated the introduction about the island, places to eat and things to do, upon arrival. The room was modern and had all the amenities you'd expect from a hotel plus snacks, which was a nice addition. There are quite a few restaurant options and a 7-11 within a short walking distance. It's also a short scooter ride to the free entry point for sharks bay (I went in the evening, around sunset and saw about 4 sea turtles with no crowds!).

IsraelMay be it is kind of Thai hospitality, but i was a bit surprised and ever shocked, when saw that during quests arrival to premises all staff run fast outside, include women (mostly so nice people from Birma) and just carry on so heavy big bags (luggade) for ever young people to the lobby. For me it is looks bad. That is not kind of work, that staff (at least woman) suppose to do. It is completely redundant. But it is only my opinion.
First of all i want to say, that staff are amazing. Very helpful and extremly nice. Owner of the hotel is educated guy and a great person as well. This hotel is good for short stay, especially for young couples or travelers, that probably come to learn scuba diving in Koh Tao. Room is pretty clean and cozy with comfartable bed. But, once again-staff is outstanding. Can strictly recommend for short stay.

NetherlandsFor us this was our best hotel in our trip through Thailand! This hotel is not so big which makes it more personal. The staff is super friendly, kind and helpfull. They provide good advice for visiting the area. They provide fresh water in the hotel, different snacks in your room every day, and they have options for renting a motorbike and snorkeling set. The beds are comfy (not so hard like many hotels in Thailand) and the room is clean. The hotel is also located close to nice restaurants and the night market of Koh Tao, all at walking distance. We 100% recommend staying in this hotel when you visit Koh Tao!

United KingdomDon't expect high end luxury. But who wants that on Koh Tao anyway?!
This is a simple comfortable hotel run by a beautiful local couple who have been on the island for decades and will give you all the inside tips. I was given such a warm welcome and there was always time for a smile and to make sure I had everything I needed. 12 hour reception and they live just behind the hotel if needed out of hours (WhatsApp numbers on a handy reference sheet). The room was simple but thoughtfully set-up with some lovely touches such as refillable flasks rather than more plastic water bottles. Very clean. Great bathroom. A nice desk with lots of natural light made a super little office during my stay. Relaxed location on an interesting lane lined with cool coffee shops for breakfast leading down to the stunning bay with relaxed bar/restaurants and the excellent Hydronauts dive centre. Lovely beaches and viewpoints within easy walking, kayaking, scrambling... distance. When you want more lively entertainment Sairee Bay is a short taxi ride away. Taxis, laundry etc all organized and at local prices. Turns out (chatting...) that the hotel is named after the owner's birthday. This is just so fitting and sums up how integral the hotel seems to their life.

They let us store our bags after we checked out and use the pool. Free suprise snacks everyday. Free unlimited plastic free water. Great location. They gave us lots of local info and recommendations. Honestly one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at.

LithuaniaI had a room facing the street, so it was a bit noisy as it’s right next to the main street. Also, the transparent “window” could be covered with the curtain as the sun goes through and wakes you up.
Clean, nice and comfortable hotel. Great location near the best beaches of the island. Lovely and friendly staff. Even if you don’t want your room to be cleaned, they still leave you all the coffee/tea replacements and in addition daily snacks, which was nice. :)
