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 KingdomOne minor comment we have is that the bathroom in our bungalow smelt slightly of sewerage but this did not take away from our overall experience here.
We LOVED our stay at Blue Gecko. Absolute bargain and very peaceful so great for pairs/trios of backpackers who need a break from the party islands. Owner and staff were all so, so lovely and helpful. Located one minute walk from the beach. Rooms were cleaned and towels replaced daily and beach towels and beach parasols available too. Also free drinking water!

GermanyIt was great! Incredible friendly owner and very clean rooms. Helpful with all bookings and easy scooter rental! They have laundry as well. Super cute garden atmosphere and free water as much as you like! Would definitely stay here again!!! Close to the beach and very close to the next ATM In all fairness - we had 2 Cockroaches - but you are in asia and it is a garden bungalow and there is a chance for wildlife! Didn’t bother us at all because it was so clean they were easily spotted and put outside! The Shower is lowered so you do not even flood the whole bathroom while showering- amazing

IrelandAbsolutely nothing.
Our experience at The Blue Gecko was truly incredible. We had booked to stay in another hotel close by but, when we checked in, we discovered it had bed bugs. We were horrified, stressed and desperately needed to find somewhere else to stay. Thankfully, The Blue Gecko came to our rescue! The hotel only had availability on booking.com for one night but we booked it nonetheless. When we arrived, the front of house staff were so helpful and the owner even promised us he would find us a room for the following night, despite the fact they were almost fully booked. Not only did he charge us a discounted rate but the staff actually moved a bed from upstairs in the villa to ensure we could all stay together. Despite all of this hassle, they charged us nothing extra and made us feel so welcome. The property itself is beautiful and a stones throw from the beach. To top things off, they had the best peanut butter ice cream we have ever tried. If you are going to Koh Lanta, this is without a doubt where you should stay.

AustriaThe location is not on the beach but a bit down the road but it’s really really close so no issue for us. My only negative really was that the tours they offered were expensive compared to other places you could book them in the area :/ And sometimes it was a bit hard to communicate with the staff as I don’t speak Thai + !! You have to pay your whole stay in cash if you cannot do an international bank transfer
Nice bungalows, pretty laid back, the owner is a really nice Hungarian guy that had great recommendations for where to eat which was lovely, bungalows were rather simple but clean and they had a safe as well as really useful plugs next to the bed and a fridge which was great, there was a minimart just around the corner and on the beach a few nice bars so strategically a really good location I’d say

United KingdomAs said the rooms are fairly basic but clean and comfortable
Very friendly staff, everyone so welcoming and George the resort manager was exceptional. The rooms are fairly basic but clean and comfortable and the location is awesome, 2 minute walk to the beach where there is a nice bar/restaurant. So good we ended up extending our stay, of which George was very flexible and accommodating. Also cool to see the wildlife in the gardens such as monkeys.

BulgariaThe water pressure was too low from time to time, but it's just a very small thing to mention.
The staff and owner were so very helpful, smiling and polite! We needed their assistance several times, mainly because we lost a credit card, and they did the best to help us. The food (not included in the room price) was amazing, we loved everything that we ordered for breakfast. The long beach was super close by. There is an amazing shadowy terrace in the middle of the yard where you can spend your entire day just being lazy with a smoothie and a book or get to know some other guests if you want. The beds were European style soft and comfortable. You could see the people working on the garden and area all the time, so I believe the place will remain so good with time with this type of maintenance, maybe get even better.
