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, 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, 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.).

IsraelThere are no curtains and the room is very bright from the sunrise. Although this is the name of the place, it disturbs sleep. The mattress is quite hard and The walls are thin and I could hear the snoring of the room next to me..
Friendly stuff, good value for money compare to koh tao

HungaryWe needed to use the common shower as the shower in our room didnt have any pressure and also the water was mostly cold. They only accept cash payment which we have missed it on the website and was a bit of a suprise, but it was our fault I believe
We loved that it was just next to the beach and also to the port. There is a small chill out place where you can relax, read a book overlooking the sea.

United KingdomBalcony was similar to a porch. Good if you just want a quick smoke but much better to relax and sit in the huge seating area at the front by the beach.
Amazing location, super accommodating staff and really friendly manager. The bed was comfortable and room very clean. Free filtered/boiling water refills mean you use less plastic and the communal fridge was a bonus. Super accommodating staff. Rented the 1 person kayak to go and watch the sunset which was beautiful. Overall a really chilled out spot, we would return.

IrelandThis was one of the more expensive places we stayed in Thailand so we thought the room would be a bit nicer than it was - however I think all Koh Tao accommodation is pricier than mainland. The Bathroom was very small and the shower water pressure was terrible. However this is probably a problem with island water supply so maybe not the fault of hotel!
Really good location on the beach and 2mins from ferry pier. Lots of options for food and drinks nearby. 15mins walk to Sairee beach area. Mae Mae was so helpful and friendly. He organised snorkeling tour for us and advised us on things to do in the area. Nice bar area to relax at sunset. We liked the beanbag area upstairs to relax also. Free water bottle refill was great. Room is clean and had a comfy bed. The hotel seemed to care about sustainability which is positive.

BelgiumThe bathroom however was really small. We were warned by the reviews but I didn’t expect it to be that small 😅. There’s also only one mirror in the room and that’s in the bathroom where there are no powerpoints. There are powerpoints in the room but no second mirror, so it’s not easing getting ready (like blowdrying your hair). I’d recommend putting a mirror up above the table for getting ready, would make it a lot easier and would make a big difference! The size of the bathroom wouldn’t matter that much anymore.
It’s exactly what to expect for the price and maybe a bit more. Very friendly staff and cool vibe, also a great location and very clean room with great airconditioning.

The location was great very close to the beach and all shops and restaurants. There was a communal fridge we could use and free drinking water. The outside bar is quite nice and overlooking the pier, amazing view!
