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 KingdomSome screws and Bolts in the property could do with tightening up. Some service areas around the grounds are visible and there isn’t a beach unless it is a very low tide. Although the sea is accessible all of the time.
That’s are very spacious properties with high quality furnishings. Perfect for a home from home type stay. Completely private and in close proximity to shops and restaurants. It’s right on the sea front but not necessarily a beach. Housekeeping is good and there a a bakery on site providing great cakes, breads and coffee. A car or scooter is a must with this property if you want to explore the island. There is a local company, BM Travel, just around the corner who are helpful, friendly and trustworthy who can see to all logistical needs.

PolandAmazing place! We have booked it by accident, just after arriving to Koh Samui, but we never regretted it. When we got there, we were immediately enchanted with the place. Charming, stylish houses hidden between the trees, right at the beach. We had house in the second row, but it only added to the sense of privacy. Great terrace with vintage fans allowing for relaxing evening, well equipped house with comfortable furniture. Great bakery on the spot offering hot bread, rolls, cakes and whatever you may like for breakfast, friendly and helpful hosts and staff. What else you might want? We will miss this place... If you seek sterile, state-of-the-art hotel with all modern amenities - go somewhere else. If you want privacy, nature, relax, quiet neighbourhood and friendly atmosphere, and you don't care if some of the appliances do not work exactly like they should - that's place for you. Thank You! P.S. Shops, restaurants etc. are within 15-20 min walking distance, so you should consider renting a car or scooter, for your comfort. Hosts without problem will help you finding reliable provider.

SingaporeMaintenance of the units was lacking: air conditioning issues, wear and tear of floorboards and thus a lot of creaking, weak shower. The villa needs serious refurbishment. Communication with the staff isn't good - very intermittent prior to arrival, and post-arrival the limited english spoken was a barrier.
Wonderful location on the beach, walking distance to restaurants and massage shops. Friendly reception. Affordable hence good value for money.

United KingdomThe kayaks were very heavy and a bit awkward to get onto the beach
I thought it was a little slice of paradise. I loved the gardens, they were beautiful and made each property seem more private. We all liked the pool especially as the water was cold, we needed that after a very hot day. The beach looked stunning and we enjoyed using the kayaks. There are some very good and affordable restaurants very near to the property. I liked being so close to the beach, which meant we could walk along the beach to get lunch or dinner. The sunsets were amazing. The breakfasts were great.

FranceUpstairs bathroom uncooled and a bit funky. It did not bother us at all because we are a small family and all used the downstairs main bathroom.
Wonderful property in a less touristy and more authentic part of the island with most of the necessary amenities near by for a quiet and leisurely holiday: a few restaurants within walking distance, 7/11 convenience store, etc. Exceptional Internet connection, marvelous landscaping, cleanliness, ocean views. We rented scooters for much of our stay with only further expanded our autonomy and enjoyment. Staff are sweet, prompt, competent and very discreet. Breakfast is just splendid. The bungalow was spacious with one closed bedroom and one open/loft bedroom upstairs with spectacular views of the ocean.

United KingdomSome of the interior fittings, such as the showers and decors were a little tired and perhaps due for replacement. But very clean and with everything you might need.
One of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed and we've travelled a lot. Huge windows to enjoy the fabulous view and wonderful quiet garden. Perfect for a family. The breakfast was first-rate. There are a few nice places to eat within walking distance along the beach. There are even kayaks you can borrow to explore the coastline.

GermanyWe enjoyed every minute of our stay in this little paradise! Our authentic Thai house had everything we needed, it was quiet, peaceful, just a few steps from the beach, with a little garden and lush greenery. A short walk on the beach brought you to a nice restaurant where you could dine in the sand. The sunsets were exceptional! The personal was very friendly, breakfast just marvelous with freshly baked bread! The pool area was clean and the pool itself refreshing. Everything about our stay was wonderful!

ThailandAircon could have been a bit stronger and there were a few plumbing issues with the upstairs bathroom, but nothing super serious.
Freaking AMAZING location! Beachfront villa with a view and feel that can't be beat. Traditional house had a nice charm, and the owners obviously care about the guests - so many nice little extras (cds, books, card & boardgames). The outdoor area has tons of really nice furniture for both individual and group hanging out. Shower and lounge chairs outback as well for easy beach activities. Owners were genuinely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Kitchen is fully equipped (fridge, stove, pots, toaster, blender, etc.)

GermanyThe place is a little run-down. When you look at the details, you realise that the villas are not maintained as thoroughly as the place deserved. As the price is at the level of a 5 star hotel in BKK, this should not be the case.

PortugalThis review is for the garden view villa and not one of the beach front villas which we believe are of a much higher standard. The villa was very quaint however it appears to be rarely rented as internal shower leak, outside shower total collapse and very very cheap (and in the case of the kettle - dangerous) kitchen items seem to confirm. To be totally fair to the resort the initial contact with the host stressed strongly this was not a beachfront villa so we were alerted to the fact it may not reach expectations. For our purposes it proved totally adequate and the staff promptly and efficiently addressed all issues as they arise.
Excellent on site bakery, worth popping in even if you are not stopping at the resort.

NetherlandsResort also has a nice pool, however also some overdue maintenance with loose hanging planks, broken deck.
On Booking.com a 4-star location, however definitely not more than a 3-star accommodation. Villa’s are spacious, however quite outdated. Other reviews stating being a 5-star accommodation convinced us for booking The Natives Samui, however are misleading or rated by travelers who never stayed in a 5-star accommodation before. Airconditioning and fans work well. Cleaning service - once every 2 days - is great. If you book, make sure to make a beach villa, hence you will be guaranteed of great / breathtaking views. Breakfast is moderate, coffee and bread (make sure to reserve) at the reception is great! Staff is also friendly and supportive. Quite still area however there are several nice restaurants around, would recommend The Sea and The Hug Samui. Otherwise Grap or local taxi service will be able to bring you around. Most closely located 7to11 is at ~ 1 km walking distance. Bigger stores at least at 2 km’s.
