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.).

GermanyCons: didn’t realize it when booking but “stairs to access” can mean up to 4 flights up / no elevator - the hotel knew I was disabled but didn’t tell me I’d be that far up until the day before arrival and then we had no choice but to pay extra for a ground floor room - so be careful what room you book. The wood decor is lovely but it gets musty smelling with all the humidity even with the AC on and none of our towels etc ever dried (granted we came in rainy season) we also occasionally had some issues with the key as the wood door warped a bit. Rooms might be sound proofed but the door is just a wooden sliding door (frogs and little lizards can easily get in which doesn’t bother us) but the sound came through so it was actually a little noisy at times with wind rain cars at one point banging sounds etc - but not too bad… main disappointment was that massages and food were very expensive comparatively to “normal” Thai prices (at our hotel in Samui we had massages on the beach for 350 thb and here they started at 800) and everything is relatively far away by car. If you have the money to pay resort prices then it’s a great place to relax.
Pros; aesthetically very pleasing resort as per the photos you see here too - absolutely beautiful decor, a lovely beach, great places to lounge like in the photos - very friendly and helpful staff, free kayaking, round trip transfers to some restaurants included, small mini bar with ok priced snacks. Netflix & stuff on TV, good internet. The cutest little cat at reception.

United StatesNot a problem with the property. Phuket is very big so please plan what you want to do before you book. This property is not really walkable to anything so if that is a problem for you consider elsewhere like patong
Beautiful rooms, private beach. The staff are exceptional. This is the best customer service I have ever received from a hotel. Day by day they helped me to organize meals and tours and all by texting me on whatsapp. I’m very grateful to the woman who was working reception I hope the owner sees this and gives her a raise she is wonderful. I have already recommend friends to come back here based on my interactions with her alone.

Very cool, Balinese/Pacifica vibe. Best of all was Grace at reception who looked after us so well and made us feel at home while we were the The Mooring Resort. Thank you Grace and team.

SingaporeBeware of swimming in the sea, especially at low-tide. There are rocks/corals in the sea floor, these areas are unmarked and not-visible through the water. My fiancee and I were cut and had abrasions on our legs from wondering into the wrong areas. Perhaps, that area should be marked with flags or something like that. Maybe the reception should brief guests during check-in to avoid those areas. We did not know and it did spoil a bit of the holiday!
It is an excellent location away from the crowds, without the hordes and hordes of tourists. As the beachfront was private, there were at maximum, 6-8 perons using the deck chairs, beach beds when we were there. The views from the beach is A+++. The rooms are comfortable and has probably most of what you need for the stay (at least for us), it is very family friendly (the bungalow we booked was the SEA VIEW Bungalows) and there were free kayaks and toys for kids/babies. They provide a lot of beach towels, and you can grab them from their front desk. The staff there are very very helpful, especially Fon and Sunny. Everyone from the staff, the manager and even the owners (Huey Princess & Denis) are so so so friendly. They make it feel like a home away from home! Before you arrive to thailand or the resort, they will start communicating with you through whatsapp. That ensures a great check-in experience and minimizes any trouble or hassle. They helped me plan a wonderful 30th birthday for my fiancee. Please order the takeout food from the menu they have there! Eating food while lounging on the deck chairs, or in front of the rooms besides the pool, is a wonderful wonderful experience! They've gotten the best restaurants from around their area, and the food usually takes 30mins to arrive. If you do go out, the Panwa Cafe is a great choice, as they will pick you up and send you back from the cafe. Just let the front desk/reception know you wanna go there and they will ring up the Panwa Cafe for you. If you have the time to stroll and walk, Thai Sawasdee was another food place that we visited that was beside the sea. It was also great walking along the boardwalk with the sea-view after dinner.

NetherlandsIt’s personal taste but we found the beds hard.
Great location, not a party location at all so fabulous if you are not wanting to surrounded by all the Patong party people. Staff were superb and everything was clean and tidy and well organised. We had one room ocean facing and one not. Both were great.

MexicoI would love to see the resort have more resources like motorbikes and kayaks/paddle boards available. Not a huge deal because my time was limited.
I hate that I can only give this place a 10. From the moment I booked the room, the staff was so attentive to our every need. Tips for the most efficient transport, figuring out our itinerary and to top it all off, ensuring the room was at a comfortable temperature by the time we arrived! I've never seen such attention to detail and a genuine level of care for all the guests here. I can't thank Joy enough for being our emissary while here. She took the time to get to know us and helped fine tune our activities to perfection. The rooms are very luxurious and quite spacious. The added touch of having a French press coffee maker in the room is fantastic.

JapanI would say “they have no restaurant,” but that doesn’t even matter. The Cove restaurant, part of a nearby resort, was literally a 20 second walk from our room, closer than many other hotels could claim. We had absolutely no problems with food during our stay.
Everything about our stay was exceptional! Trust me, if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, you’re going to love this place. It’s a little piece of paradise. We are so happy we booked the beachfront room for our stay, as the beach was always right outside our doorstep. Service was exceptional, always doing their best to ensure we had a quality experience. Joy and Maiekla were especially good to us, going out of their way multiple times to take care of us. Even though there were other guests at the resort, it never felt crowded. In fact, it always felt like we were in our own little bubbles, never really needing to interact at all. It made it feel as if the resort was completely our own. The pool, the reclining pool chairs, the hammocks…everything was available anytime we wanted. For the first time in a long time, my girlfriend and I felt completely relaxed and at ease. Not a care in the world. And we have The Mooring Resort to thank for that. Couldn’t have asked for more.

United StatesLoved my stay here. The hotel is located in a quiet cove and was the perfect relaxing stay. Clean, quiet rooms with lovely minimalist decor. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, arranged my transport to and from the airport and Old Town Phuket, in-room massages, and had plenty of other ideas for activities. I ate breakfast every morning at the hotel next door, so close it felt like the same property—the food was more Western than traditional Thai but all delicious, and couldn't beat the convenience.

NetherlandsBeautiful resort on a very quiet beach. The villas are tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. The beach is good for swimming; lovely calm water. Only at low tide you need to walk to another beach (just a 10 minute walk). There are a few restaurants within walking distance, and they also provide free taxitransfer. Next to the resort is a restaurant that is situated right next to the beach: it's open all day and serves good food. The minibar in the room is stuffed with drinks and snacks. Drinkingwater, as much as you need, is free of charge. There are plenty of deckchairs in the pool/beach area. The ladies at the reception are super friendly and helpful. Could have stayed here forever!
