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.).

Beautiful resort where one can recharge and enjoy the peacefulness of the area. The pool villas are unique, ensuring privacy while being a step away from the main pools, pool bar and restaurant. The food menu offers plenty of options, thai cuisine is absolutely delicious. We arrived in great need of rest, and the Sala exceeded our expectations. All the staff work hard to make your stay special. We highly recommend the Sala and will be back !!

SingaporeMosquitoes here and there, but this is expected of a tropical country. The daily turn down service helps with setting up the electrical mosquito repellants and mosquito coils.
The property had lots of open space (where yoga, stretching and muay thai workouts were also conducted). Plenty of amenities - a kids pool, football field (sand), lounge/bar area on sand, beach access, bicycles (including kids’ bike and a bike with a child seat for toddlers). Every villa provided a beach bag, picnic mat, insect repellant. There were activities conducted every hour - fitness classes, art n craft for kids. The farm tour was fun for the kids, where they could feed the goats and walk around the garden. There was also a movie night with popcorn and ice cream set up for kids. Staff were very friendly and flexible. We are a large family group of 8 persons, taking up 3 villas. They granted us early check-in at 11am and late check out at 4pm. The fitness coach Beer was absolutely fantastic, even tailoring the outdoor cycling activity to suit our young kids. Breakfast had a wide variety in addition to the buffet (you can order eggs Benedict , pancakes etc). Food that came with the spa package had many healthy options that taste great. Spa was professional and very good. We also signed up for the cooking class where we were taught four Thai dishes.

SingaporeJust the bugs that were around especially at night.
It was private, well-kept and generally clean. Since it was a villa by the beach, the bugs were expected and the people did their best to minimise them. The staff were excellent and they have the best service. They even surprised the husband on his birthday with a cake, without me asking for it at all.

VietnamIt quite buggy so enjoy time by the pool can be a bit annoying. The pool's wall is weirdly sharp so touching it with your bare skin can be painful. The beach is not really swim-able and the surrounded is not well illuminated so that romantic walk in the evening can quickly turn into a scary romantic walk.
I was looking to get away from the city and people and I got exactly that at this resort. The place is peaceful and not too crowded with people. The staff is helpful and on-time and the breakfast is great. The resort is surrounded by green so jogging/biking is a wonderful experience.

South AfricaCommon areas like the pool, gym and spa are subpar and not at the level of the villas themselves. There isn’t much to do around and the landscape is not very tropical. The restaurant is overpriced. We also tried the dip and sip that was a complete disappointment. There is an air of feeling ripped off throughout services at the resort. Drinks are watered down.
We upgraded to a duplex 1 bedroom villa for another 2 nights. Duplex villa was absolutely wonderful for a couple and made for a lovely stay during rainy days. Breakfast was also good.

MalaysiaFar from town if you wanted to do any excursions would cost more but we elected to just chill and stay in since excursions may be more stressful since it was so hot. Resort has free daily activities - we did paddle boarding, morning yoga , gel candle and starlight cinema. A few local restaurants within walking distance too so you don’t have to eat at the hotel for every meal.
Lovely serene place with such nice little touches - from letting us choose our pillows, lotion and soap scents at check in, someone coming in the evening for turndown and putting in mosquito repellents and bringing daily delicious local tea, providing beach mat and straw bag for the beach. We got the Garden Pool Villa and our daughter enjoyed the pool. we had an amazing stay!

SwitzerlandWe stayed in a villa with private pool. The villa was very nicely decorated and comfortable. The private pool was huge and very clean. The outdoor shower might not by everyone’s taste, but we liked it. The outdoor lounge by the pool, was in the shade and comfy. The entire resort is well maintained and looks beautiful. Amazing food in the restaurant! We didn’t plan to eat there every night but ended up doing just that. Every dish we ordered was extra ordinary and mouthwatering. We can highly recommend Sala Phuket. The only “downside” - but we just mention it because we think a policy like this is really not common in Thailand - is that the prices are given net on the menu, 17 % in total are added at the end. Even though this policy is transparently flagged, we found it a bit irritating and definitely not necessary.
