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.).

CanadaThe breakfast was average, nothing wrong just ok. Just a little out dating but nothing horrible, just comparing to the price I expected a tad better.
The room was big, clean, air conditioning was good. Wish their second pool was open but they did warn us a few times on the website and reservation so it wasn’t a disappointment when we got here.

South AfricaThere was no hot water...it was very hot so did not mind it in the end, but family wanted warm water (was like that for 3 days). We used a lot of heating water for the baths 😀😀
They were accomodating that we could use the pool while we waited for ferry after check out. I trust after upgrades the place will be amazing again.

New ZealandBreakfast selection not as good as other hotels, but it's a minor thing really. e.g. only white bread available and weak coffee, but you can purchase good coffee in the coffee bar. Like everywhere else, the beds are hard, but this place had the worst pillows as well... comfortable in every other aspect but sleeping wasn't :(
Overall a comfortable hotel, handy to pier and village. While there is some renovation going on, it didn't impact our stay. In fact we stayed an extra night because it was better than our previous accommodation that was more expensive but crap. This place is clean and spacious with updated room facilities.

IrelandThe food was average. I got a chicken burger the chips were undercooked and the burger had no sauce it was very plain. Breakfast the following day was equally disappointing, the egg station was nice but everything else was average. I enjoyed the hotel however I did not enjoy the food. The room was very moist . We could feel damp/ wet on our bed. The floor was extremely stickey and the shower was wet hours later.
Great location

AustraliaThere was a bit of construction around the pool and the grounds. I'm told this has been going on for some time. While it didn't prevent using the pool, but was a little awkward at times to get around.
The hotel is very comfortable and has a convenient location just off the Railay East pier. The breakfast was quite good, rooms are large and comfortable. The pool is roof top with a good view of the bay and sunrise.

CanadaThe pool water was very warm and not very refreshing. Our shower only had cold water. There was quite a bit of construction within the property and beware of monkeys around
The rooftop pool was beautiful with views of the ocean and mountains. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. We were given a welcome drink and cold towel when we arrived. The AC worked very well. The location of the hotel was secluded.

United KingdomShower was cold even on the hot setting, although temp outside was high, we still like a warm+ shower. Booked a trip from the "tourist" desk (just outside the restaurant)- this was a rip off, cannot really blame the hotel, but they seem to be associated - significantly more than we could get on walking street (2 mins around the corner).
Staff very helpful. Excellent location next to the east pier, good room. There are back entrances which shorten the walk to the beach which unfortunately we didn't find until the last day.

United KingdomIt would of been helpful to say sowhere on the website or on Booking that the only available trasportation way to Railay beach is by boat! That was nowhere said so we were caught by surprise when we booked our taxi drive from the airport. Railay is a secluded beach that you can only access by boat, which means for any sort of party night outs or city/town vibes to the closer area (Ao Nang) you have to get a boat - which after 6pm do not have standard times so it is a hustle if you want to come back late from a night out. One of the things that really striked me was the water - it smelled so bad I couldn't even brush my teeth with it and never felt clean after a shower - I suppose this is not a hotel problem but it really through me off on the first night. Apparently there is a problem with sewing and rubbish which produces a very bad smell especially because of the heat, which just makes the whole experience really spoiled. That was a turn-off for me as taking the route from the hotel to the beach - where it smelled the most - was always a hustle. If I knew, I'd rather have stayed elsewhere. Re the cleanliness of my room, it was always clean but I understand I stayed in the older building (with the view) that would be renovated next year. So the room per se had an old furnishing so didn't give the impression of new and hence, clean room. But it was cleaned daily. Also, one of the reasons we stayed in this hotel was of its spa. Unfortunately, we found out that the spa was closed due to renovation on the day we arrived, but the staff recommended to use the spa facilities of the next door hotel, belonging to the same chain. That was ok but I'd rather knew this in prior. Food was good and breakfast was nice but nothing special.
When we talk about hospitality, people at the Railay Princess are the actual definition of it. So quick to accommodate us, super polite and always with a smile on their face! They knew who my friend and I were as I loved the grape juice the offered us once we arrived and kept asking for it every day (I offered to buy some but they told me they couldn't help me with this!) - they were so lovely every time they saw us they were offering us the juice! I loved the hotel as it was, it was clean, tidy and quiet - exactly what we were looking for. Staff was always around, polite ( I was exchanging good morning with the lovely gardener everyday!) and honestly, I have so much appreciation for Thai people after my experience there.
