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.).

United KingdomSome of the other guests were a little inconsiderate and loud but otherwise, the stay was great.
My stay at SAMSAM was phenomenal. I was so impressed with the space, the greenery surrounding the area was so peaceful and the staff were only too happy to oblige any request I had. The food was delicious and the in-villa massage facilities were great. The knowledgeable staff organised everything I needed and I loved my private taxi tour as recommended by the team. Thank you so much!

United KingdomNothing... It's heaven
It's heaven on earth... Beautiful villas exceptional staff who catered to all our needs and extra requests.. suchs as cake for Birthday's and engagements and helped us arrange activities... and catered for my celiac wife. KYN is a beautiful relaxed island and Sam Sam in our opinion is the perfect place to enjoy it. The villas are exceptional, tasteful and artistic and the facilities are also exceptional. The nature that's surrounds you while you enjoy your stay in these beautiful villas is magical.. On one hand I hope this hotel gets the recognition it deserves but on the other I don't so I can keep it to myself.. It's a slice of heaven and we will treasure our stay for a lifetime... Well until we come back 😀

PortugalSome rooms have better views than others, choose accordingly
I cannot recommend this place enough. Secluded in complete peace on the hillside of the island. You are surrounded by jungle and birds yet still close to the main road, restaurants and beach. An oasis with lovely pool, views, wellness spaces and breakfast. But most importantly the staff (especially the general manager sasha, nan and jiang) who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during all our stay.

SwitzerlandIf you are a party animal, this is not the place to be (even the island). This is more of an untouched island that you can visit in scooter or explore by boats your surroundings. Apart from the oustanding quality of the resort's restaurant, the rest of the island is pretty basic (but good)
The place (we rent a house with a private swimming pool) is just amazing: the view on the sea, the decoration with beautiful pieces of arts, the staff. If once in your life you would like to feel like a millionaire this is the place to go. Of course this place is not cheap but once in your life time why not.

United KingdomUnfortunately the pool was under renovation due to refurbishment during our stay but to accommodate this they allowed us access to one of the villa pools which was just as large and accommodating.
My partner and I had an amazing 6 day stay at Sam Sam. The resort is nestled on a hill in the most beautiful location and the architecture is stunning. Since there are limited villas and apartments it is very quiet and relaxing. Our room was very large with beautiful art and the team cleaned it every day at our preferred time. The breakfast each morning was lovely with a selection of local and American/European breakfast options. Pooky and the rest of the team at Sam Sam were available at all times to answer any of our questions including booking tours, navigating the area or questions about the villa. They always greeted us with a smile and we felt very taken care of the entire duration of the stay. The island itself was magical and we spent the majority of the trip exploring it via scooter. The food at the local restaurants was also exceptional and both the locals and expats living there were so friendly and welcoming. Overall, I think Sam Sam is a hidden gem and we definitely plan to stay there again on our next trip to the island. Highly, highly recommend!
