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.).

GermanyOne point, although not super important: Sadly, there was no possibility to have a massage there so we had to go to other resorts.
Amazing, very acommodating staff which made our stay very enjoyable. Big Thanks to all. Nice breakfast. Location is great and the food is very good considering the limited availability on the island. Very clean! It is the only resort with the pool for ppl who enjoy this feature, we didn't use it. Especially nice for ppl who enjoy the "community" feeling.

GermanyThe food on offer could be of a higher quality and more varied. However, this is probably also due to the island's infrastructure, which draws its special charm from the less busy location.

My goodness as soon as the boat hit the sand on Kho Kradan beach we knew we were in paradise. White sandy beach with crystal clear waters and neighbouring islands on the near horizon The reef resort was purely delightful- a wonderful informative checkin from Genta, a lovely room metres from the beach and a perfectly chilled atmosphere. The snorkelling was amazing- just an 80 metre swim to the reef and so many tropical fish! A 20 min walk to sunset beach on the west coast and an early rise for the sunrise on the beach at the resort- totally incredible Kalume next door does great Italian food but the food and service at the reef resort was amazing. Jack and his staff totally understood severe fish and nut allergies and everything was safe and catered for. Genta was above and beyond; we forgot and lost stuff on our transfer and she found and safely stored them for onward transmission. An absolutely idyllic resort with amazing staff- we wished we had booked longer. Genta and Jack are the stars of the Reef and their staff are so friendly! We miss it and them already

United KingdomA couple of things in the room could be improved such as the bathroom door as it has to be slammed to shut it properly. The outside doors are very fiddly to lock.
Location is excellent, rooms are on the small side, but there is plenty of storage space. The staff are all so friendly, especially with my little girl, made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived. Pool is a great temperature , plenty of sunbeds on the beach and around the pool. Free use of snorkels, flippers and kayaks which was an added bonus.

GermanyFor us it was a perfect place, because it is quiet and relaxed. But if you are looking for parties and entertainment, than this island will be too remote and somewhere else will be more suitable.
We had a perfect holiday at the Reef Resort. Management and staff are very attentive and we had the impression that they have a good atmosphere among the team. When the staff is happy and relaxed, it is easy to feel welcome. Our room was nicely decorated, clean and the aircon was working well and not too loud. The bathroom is outside, which for us was suitable for a remote island where almost everything happens outside. The resort provided us with snorkeling masks that were clean and worked well. They also provide kayaks and SUPs for their guests. They have a small restaurant on the beach. The view is just stunning. Breakfast buffet was included and considering the fact that they have to carry everything from the mainland by boat there was a good choice of food (toast, croissants, asian warm dishes, eggs, pancakes, fruit, granola, yoghurt, bacon and sausages, and probably more things that I forgot). As the manager Genta is Italian, they also serve a good and strong coffee. The Thai dishes they serve for lunch and dinner were all very tasty and the vegetables were fresh. Other restaurants on the island also used canned vegetables instead, therefore I mention it. There are not many vegetarian dishes on the menu, but they could prepare almost all the dishes also in a vegan or vegetarian way. The resort also offers day trips to neighboring islands which are operated by their own staff. We went to Kho Rok and to the Emerald Cave at Kho Muk. Both trips were very much worth it and everything was well organized. We also had booked the transfer from Trang and back via the resort. Everything was on time and went smoothly, we would do that again. The other guests at the resort were quite relaxed. There were both Thai and Western guests which I liked. There were families and couples, everybody enjoying themselves but without being too noisy or disturbing others. That made me especially like the atmosphere of the whole place.

United KingdomGenta and Jack made us feel very welcome and all of the staff are very friendly. The reef which is easy to swim to from the beach (in mid-high tide) is excellent for snorkelling – it’s like swimming in an aquarium! They also offer free snorkels/masks/fins and kayaks to use… The rooms are very comfortable and cleaned daily. Air con works well. The rooms are all attached to each other, so if there was a noisy neighbour, you would clearly hear it. The pool is nice and cleaned 2 x day. Food is good – this island is more expensive to eat/drink than others but the food and other restaurants are all good quality. The walk to sunset beach through the jungle trail is easy and the beach there is perfect to watch the sunset. It’s worth mentioning that the cicadas are very noisy (a continuous loud screeching noise) and last for a few hours from mid-afternoon til about 6.30pm but after day 1 you get used to it. We stayed for 3 nights and felt that this was the perfect length of time to enjoy the resort and the island. There are no shops or ATM’s so bring cash but most resorts accept card payments. We would highly recommend Reef Resort and thank all of the staff for a lovely stay!

TaiwanGenta and the rest of the Reef Team welcome guests like old friends. We were given a beach bag with snorkel gear and invited to sit down for a drink at the restaurant as soon as we stepped off the long tail boat onto the beach. There is plenty of shade on the beach and excellent snorkeling right in front of the property. The restaurant served delicious Thai food as well as some Italian favorites. We enjoyed the island vibes and intimate feel due to the small size and location.

SwedenMy recent stay at The Reef on Koh Kradan left an indelible mark, and I'm eager to share the extraordinary experience. Nestled in a pristine location, the hotel exceeded expectations on all fronts - from the stunning locale to the meticulously maintained rooms. However, what truly distinguishes The Reef is the exceptional care provided by its owner, Genta. The Reef's location is nothing short of idyllic, offering breathtaking views and convenient access to the island's natural wonders. The rooms, impeccably clean and thoughtfully designed, create a haven of comfort against the backdrop of Koh Kradan's beauty. What truly sets The Reef apart is Genta's unparalleled hospitality. Unfortunately, my son fell ill during our stay, necessitating a hospital visit. Genta handled the situation with remarkable efficiency and compassion. Her commitment to our well-being was evident as she seamlessly managed all logistical aspects, turning a potentially stressful situation into a well-orchestrated process. Genta's care extended beyond our stay at The Reef. Taking initiative, she contacted our next hotel to relay information about our situation, ensuring a smooth transition. This proactive approach showcased a level of customer service that is rare and commendable. Having traveled extensively, I can confidently say that the service at The Reef, under Genta's guidance, is unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to those seeking not only a beautiful retreat but also the assurance of being cared for with genuine consideration. In a world where exceptional service is a rarity, The Reef on Koh Kradan stands as a shining example. Genta's dedication to her guests left an indelible mark on my heart, and for that, I am forever grateful. The Reef has earned my highest recommendation, and I will always cherish the exceptional service we received.

SwitzerlandWiFi was slow but it worked with a bit of patience. This is a remote island, one need to keep it in mind.
Amazing friendly people and well-maintained resort with enough sunbeds, free snorkeling equipment and a very beautiful beach just in few steps from the room. The sea near the beach is an emerald color, sandy bottom, the reef is about 80 m from the beach, very lively, lots of colorful fishes, corals. In the low tide, one can walk till the reef. The room was spacious, very clean, perfect AC, fridge, free bottles of water. A small patio outside is cozy, with a hanging chair and place to dry the clothes. No discos, no noise except the sound of waves and a warm breeze.
