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.).

FranceThe view is the main asset of the villa! Having our own swimming pool was super cool. Everything is convenient with plenty of food delivery around. And just a 5 minutes walk to the beach and 10 minutes from the main shops, bars and restaurants. It’s a steep walk, but worth it! Also the staff is very responsive and they helped us with all our requests.

United StatesOnly think I can think of is that such a high-end place should have better coffee facilities. There's instant coffee, but a pod machine would be so much nicer.
Clean, stylist rooms, incredible view, lovely private pool (you can swim naked, no-one can see), responsive hosts. The taxi they sent to pick us up also organized a scooter for the trip that was delivered only 15 minutes later. Guys were on hand to help with luggage, rooms cleaned every day. Just a short hop to the action, but very peaceful.

United KingdomNot the easiest place to access unless you have a scooter or car on Koh Tao. No reception or amenities (no communal pool, only available with certain flats), basics missing e.g. weren’t even able to help us print some essential tickets and poor wifi.
Most beautiful view from a hotel I’ve ever seen. Clean and comfortable.

AustraliaThe walk in/out of accommodation is one of the biggest factors and hardest to describe. The rooms are connected by long sets of stairs with a carpark spot at the top and the bottom. Stairs in some areas all different length/height also. The bottom has a steep pathway to the carpark. From the bottom carpark, it is a steep and narrow path (some paved, some dirt, no street lights at night) to the main road. Occasional stray dogs would be here too. Altogether it is about 5mins walk up or down from room to main road. From the main road, you can cross and go straight to the beach (through another resort, but it is easy and open) or turn left to walk to the shops in 5 mins. I would say the peak incline is probably 45 degrees - you don't want to push/wheel anything up. Having said this, we walked up/down to the beach/shops each day carrying bags/baby and it was fine. If you order food delivery (many places in Koh Tao deliver for cheap/free), finding your specific room is difficult - use Whatsapp to meet them at the carpark. Air conditioning in the room was quite weak - takes a long time to cool the room and doesn't get that cold. There are also 2 ceiling fans in our room which help. Kitchen - no microwave or oil/salt. Wifi connectivity was poor. Late check-out was offered for 1500 THB when otherwise would be vacant. Seems expensive for 5 hours after paying for 6 nights.
The view is phenomenal. There are some mosquitoes, and it is still quite humid as no wind there (tip - open the front balcony door to provide more breeze). It makes up for not having a pool and being away from the beach. Host very responsive. Organised free taxi from pier (otherwise cheap taxi service along the path to the main road). Staff present were very helpful. Carried bags up/down for us, waited outside for us until our taxi arrived. Always happy to help and provide anything asked for. Cleaning each day with fresh towels and bottled water. Kitchen is simple but effective - 2x gas stove with a pan and a pot, toaster, electric kettle. Large fridge/freezer. Provided a big baby cot upon request. The nearby beach is calm, beautiful, not crowded, nice beach restaurants. We really enjoyed the stay here, regardless of the location/walk.

United Kingdomhaving read the reviews we were worried about the stairs but this was honestly not a problem at all (we were at the top too) just makes the view even better 😊
The views are just wow! We had a pool villa and it was lovely to come back after a day out to relax on the terrace. Comfy bed and clean and tidy everyday. We didn’t get to meet the owners but we communicated via WhatsApp and they are super responsive!

IsraelThe main problem were the ants. I think the kitchen should be cleaned very thoroughly every day including spraying some detergents against insects. Having kitchen paper towels would be superb.. But given the villa is in the middle of jungle (and called “Plantation”), it totally makes sense that there are some insects. Additionally, the road upside to the villa is tricky. So better having 160CC bikes for *each* guest. During the rain you should be a confident rider to climb the mountain with a bike. On my last night there was a storm and electricity cut all over the island and simultaneously something weird happened to the main door. But the host made sure to deal with the situation.
The arrival was very convenient. Taxi collected me from the pier for free. The view was astonishing. Looks like in movies. The host was welcome and spoke fluent English (which is not common for Thai hosts). The pool was tidy-clean with clear water and amazing view. I also could control the lights inside the pool. The beds were super comfortable. The best beds I’ve experienced during my trip in Thailand. The shower was with hot water and decent current (which is not common for Koh Tao properties). The parking was free and convenient.
