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 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.).

GermanyPerfect Stay at AVA Resort We had an absolutely amazing stay at the AVA Resort! The hotel staff were exceptional—always attentive, incredibly friendly, and super helpful throughout our entire visit. They made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. One of the most convenient aspects was that the hotel organized scooters and taxis for us, including our ride to the ferry. This made our checkout process incredibly smooth and stress-free. The resort itself is beautifully designed, with lots of attention to detail. Our room was spotless, bright, and had a stunning view of the sea. Since the resort is located on the west coast, we got to enjoy breathtaking sunsets every evening. It was truly the perfect way to end each day. What we also loved was that the resort is situated just slightly outside the busy areas, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. But if you do want to get into town, it’s only a 5-minute scooter ride to downtown. So you get the best of both worlds—tranquility and easy access to all the local attractions. Overall, it was a perfect stay, and we wholeheartedly recommend AVA Resort to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing vacation!

United KingdomThe bathroom wasn't the nicest compared to the quality of the room. The cafe could have also served a bit more and been a bit better equipped for the quality of the hotel and the pool it serves.
The location and the views in the hotel were amazing and as advertised. The pool was great and the staff were lovely, responsive and informative. The overall vibe and small nature of the hotel made it feel special.

United KingdomNothing! We absolutely loved it!
We loved the ava hotel! We stayed for 10 days but could have stayed for longer. The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are wonderful with the most stunning view and the infinity pool is amazing. It was never busy and often felt like you had the place to yourself. We will definitely be returning! It is close enough to walk into the busyness of sairee beach but equally far enough away to be super quiet.

It was simply amazing. Great welcome at the reception, the room and the view was amazing. It was super comfortable and relaxing to stay there. I would come again.

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.
