Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaWe went to the Grotto and it was lovely sure but so expensive and to be honest - didn’t love the food. It was fine. Was it $400 good? No. What I wished we knew is the restaurant doesn’t actually sit on a private beach for the view. I think the beach is private to the hotel but you ‘sitting on the beach’ while you eat is actually a raised platform. Just go to the beach, don’t bother with the restaurant.
Look we are not rich, but we splurged on one night here to go to the fancy restaurant and we LIVED LIKE KINGS. This place was AWESOME. It’s all flat so if you are like me and injure yourself it’s not terrible to get around, the staff is lovely and drive you around, the store is a great time, they have dvds you can take out, the bed was two massive beds pushed together. It was so great. We wish we could live that way all the time. Buffett breakfast was great.

Quite simply it is gorgeous with a magnificent view and 3 beautiful beaches. The rooms (pavilions) are perfect and homey. The spa is exquisite and the combined Thai/oil massage brilliant!!

United KingdomIt’s a shame that some of the beach areas on the exterior of Rayavaadee’s boundaries are public as it would simply be paradise. That said the property is skirted by some of the finest beaches in Krabi and after sunset, the beach areas do quieten down. It didn’t detract from our enjoyment at all.
We had an individual two storey pavilion literally a few metres from Railay Beach. The property had so much character and a secluded seating area at the rear backing on to the natural rock face. The accommodation is of a very high standard with many attractive features, Beyond our pavilion, the reception, restaurant and spa areas were luxurious and an absolute pleasure to spend time in. Everything felt peaceful and relaxed. The grounds (22 acres + I believe) are beautifully maintained and have an incredible array of different plants. The pool area is large and offers a prompt food and drinks service on request. We dined in The Grotto restaurant two nights and the restaurant did us proud on Night 2 in arranging a romantic setting. The food was nicely prepared and arranged. No review of Rayavaadee would be complete without a mention for the staff that work there. Their service was exemplary and communication amongst their team to ensure our needs was simply “perfect”. The team that looked after us in reception and in the Grotto particularly stood out for their care and attention. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay.

SwitzerlandThe only downside was the spa, where you had to pay extra for the sauna, and the limited half-hour time limit. I've never seen such a restriction before. Nevertheless, overall, it was a fantastic stay.
I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly clean, the food was super, and the staff was incredibly friendly.

IsraelThe dinner at the Grotto restaurant is very overpriced in my opinion. The food was good, but still doesn't justify the cost. In addition, the dinner doesn't include any drinks, not even a simple drinking water for the table. Assuming you want to drink something with your food you have to pay even more on top of the already overpriced dinner, and even basic drinks such as mineral water or soda are extremely overpriced.
The best resort we had in Thailand. Exceptional breakfast, beautiful beach, outstanding service.

United States of AmericaThe only complaint for us was that we got lost a few times but the staff were very helpful to guide us to where we needed to go.
The property was absolutely beautiful! The environment was so amazing because it had a old Thai style feel but with all the modern amenities that you could ask for. The resort made you feel so welcome and the staff were the most amazing as they were kind, attentive and always helpful with any needs and wants. The welcome drink was amazing with the coconut water and lime sorbet that we ordered more to our room it was that good. The rooms were cleaned twice a day and the house keepers were very attentive as well to any requests. We also had a booking for The Grotto restaurant and would highly recommend making a reservation to eat here as the menu had a great selection of meal sets and they tasted amazing and the chefs and waitstaff were amazing! If you are looking for a great resort this is the place to go you will get more for your money here then you will anywhere else and more even if you are going to book for one night it is worth it.

United KingdomFood and drink prices are extortionately high. Guests can be far too entitled and it's uncomfortable to watch them be rude to staff. Too many kids, in my opinion and I'd prefer it to be adults only.
It's pure paradise, it's heaven on earth. Everything is perfect and we cried when we had to leave it was so good. The location, the staff, the wildlife- it's all so so unique.
