Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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...).

United KingdomEverything about this place was perfect. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Right on the beach, walking distance to some really nice restaurants. Highly recommend getting a massage here if you stay as well. AC was very good as well. Really recommend staying here if you are visiting Koh Lanta

PolandWonderful views, it's practically located at the long, nice beach. You can watch the sunset from the pool or the bar at the beach. Tasty breakfast. Rooms are basic, but clean. The area is rather peaceful and quiet, however it means it's a bit remote - you'll need a taxi or a scooter to get around.

DenmarkWe loved everything!
We loved, loved, loved Sea Shell! We have travelled for one month in Thailand and had to come back for a third time - we just couldn’t get enough. The staff was so attentive and sweet, we instantly felt at home. The food in the restaurant is great and so is the massage. The view from the pool overlooking the ocean is nothing short of unbeliveable. The only reason we wouldn’t recommend this place, is because we’d want it to be free for whenever we decide to come back - which we will!

United KingdomNo sunshades at the pool and no loungers provided by this hotel on the beach.
Very nice modern bungalow just a few steps from the beach. Very clean and comfortable. A good location with a good selection of bars and restaurants just a stroll up the beach. A very friendly family run resort, just a small number of bungalows, pleasantly set amongst well kept gardens. Breakfast overlooking the beach and sea.

United KingdomA very good small well run hotel. Rooms are right angle to the beach, a couple at the front with beach views over the nice sparkling clean pool. The restaurant is beach front with tables on the beach at night. Our room was the superior suite sea view had the promised sea view over the pool. A reasonable size ,very clean, comfortable bed, fridge, a/c, WiFi etc, all good. Breakfast was the OK basic one in Thailand. Eggs to choice, bread with butter and jam, tea or coffee and juice. Basically the same everywhere, not great but an OK start to the day. The sun beds around the pool were never full with there being some sunbeds also on the beach. Either eat in at night at the hotels or take a night beach stroll to one of the many other similar offering nearby. Overall very comfortable and very good value for a beachfront hotel with a pool.

This is a small, friendly resort, on the beach with a very chilled, relaxed feel. The pool and the surrounding area was superb. The staff were excellent. It is family owned and they cater for everything. They were extremely helpful. The food was delicious and not expensive. All in all a great place to relax and chill out.

It was all perfect! The location couldn't be better and the staff was super lovely! This property is managed by two families and they work really hard to make you feel at home. They do bbq every day at the beach from 6pm and the food at the restaurant was one of the best we had in Thailand. The sunset is unbeatable and so is their happy hour. We would definitely go back!

United States of AmericaI can't say enough good things about Sea Shell. Run by a family where multiple generations joyfully work alongside one another, you feel like a family guest more than a hotel guest. The place feels pure, gentle, kind, and joyful. It is like Little House on the Prairie but in Thailand in the 21st century and the family business is hospitality. The rooms are simple, but super clean and have all you need. The place is small/boutique (only ten bungalows or so) and it is right on the beach so serene breakfasts await you in the morning and sublime sunsets at night. Last but not least, I loved the food. I ate almost every meal here during my three week stay. My favorite? The chicken pad thai. Oh, and the wifi is super strong, which is important for me as a digital nomad. So, huge praise for this place. I've been a nomad for three years now and only sublime escapes in Slovenia rivals the genuine kindness and hospitality I experienced at Sea Shell. I give it my highest possible recommendation.
