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 KingdomIt was pretty quiet so lacked a bit of atmosphere but the hotel can't be blamed for this- just something to note. A bit more upbeat music around the pool area might have helped as it was quite quiet acoustic music everyday. The hotel doesn't serve any food or alcohol however they are linked really well with the local restaurants so it's really easy to get things delivered, again wasn't a massive problem but just something to be aware of if you like having a pool bar/restaurant on site. They are located about a 20 minute walk to Sairee beach. This was fine walking there in the evenings as it's all downhill but we didn't walk back any of the nights we stayed as it is a really steep hill and no pavement so didn't feel overly safe in the dark.
The hotel is so lovely. The pool area is beautiful and the room was really clean and cool with fantastic views!!! The staff were lovely and really helpful. They have a taxi service they suggest to use which will pick you up if you WhatsApp them and we found they did the best rates (200 Baht for a pick up at Sairee to the hotel). We would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomThis resort was fantastic. The views were amazing and we loved the quality of service in the resort. We were happy to walk down to the town and hire facilities were in walking distance for those who want to hire bikes (as we did). There are plenty of options for food in the main town, which is only a 10 minute walk down the hill. The pool view of the sunset is incredible.

United KingdomPrior to checking in I spoke with the hotel via their social media page and arranged a taxi from the pier. Very straight forward and the taxi was waiting. From the moment I checked in, I knew I’d made the right choice booking this place. The place is immaculate. The staff are amazing and friendly and the view from the room. Wow! Our room was stunning and super clean. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant but you are immediately given the hotel what’s app number and you are sent various menu’s for local restaurants that deliver. I really liked this concept. The hotel what’s app is very responsive and answered any questions I had within minutes. The busy area is around 2-3 minutes on a motorbike. Perfect distance away for us. I will certainly return to this hotel.

United KingdomVery little to dislike about this resort. Due to location it is about a 20 min walk from town, and that walk is not for the feint hearted! It cost 400thb return for a taxi to town, which for a long stay is quite expensive. I think for the cost of the resort, and having stopped at other similar places in Thailand the hotel would greatly benefit from a free shuttle service into town, especially since they don’t have an onsite kitchen, as much as they do offer delivery from restaurants it’s nice to be in the town and walk around.
Outstanding hotel! The room was spotless, lovely design and layout. Lovely resort but a small complex. Staff were super helpful, would message instantly on WhatsApp with any questions, would reiterate that delivery services would be closing each day incase you wanted food ordering in. The views from the balconies / pool were outstanding.

United KingdomIt was slightly out of the main Sairee centre. Highly recommend hiring a moped to get around as it was 2-3 down into the centre. However they did have a prompt taxi service, just would cost more z
We loved the view and the overall aesthetic of the hotel. The staff were sooo lovely. The pool was gorgeous and so was the room. Lovely coffee shop on site, shame they didn’t do alcoholic drinks in the afternoon/evening.
