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.).

We enjoyed everything about The Retreat. It's a quiet, beautiful resort. The owner and his staff are wonderful. There are free bikes you can use to go to the nearby beach and restaurants. We also enjoyed the included breakfast. When we return, we will stay here again.

United KingdomManager was extremely helpful… offered us a lift to our next place. Bikes are well maintained and an easy ride to the beach. Fresh free- range eggs every morning… great breakfasts! Honesty system for beer is a very welcome bonus! Very clean and comfortable… the little restaurant next door was the best…. So glad we booked it… it only has a couple of tables but we had great food and drinks!

ThailandNothing really. I've never given a ten before!
It's very much new and boutique, having just 12 rooms in a very quiet location surrounded by trees and maybe 2km from the beach. The pool is small, but good for cooling off. Breakfast was excellent. There are plenty of places to eat on the beach and some shops on the way there. The resort has about ten bikes you can borrow, or walk down and get a taxi back. (There's a desk there for that.) Good for couples.

Everything! This place is perfect, Aop and suka are so helpful, always happy to make sure we got what we needed. Breakfast options were great, even as vegetarians. Location is good, next to a few local restaraunts and 10 minutes away to bang Niang market and khao lak village, easy to get taxi’s into these places at around 200-300bhat. Free bicycles, able to use the facilities when you’ve checked out, air con works well, the resort is clean everywhere seems well maintained and new. Nice little touches like fruit on arrival, fruit in an afternoon, able to take drinks out the fridge and write down what you’ve taken. A nice, safe, calm, relaxing place. We will definitely be back in the future!

Arranged an awesome snorkelling tour to the Surin Island, would definitely recommend everyone taking it. He also makes sure you get a big discount!

IndiaEverything was perfect!!
Everything here was perfect. Right from the host to rooms to the location to food and the hospitality of the hosts. The host there named Por was very very good. She made sure that all our needs are fulfilled and she made our stay very comfortable in khao lak. She helped us in everything from arranging good food for us specially we being pure vegetarian. The property provides free bicycles to go to nearby beach which is khuk khaak. The beach is just 3-5 minutes by bicycle. They also provide bikes on rent. Their breakfast is very very good and have lots of varieties. Por specially arranged vegetarian food in breakfast for us. Por even guided us where to go, which beaches are the best one's to visit. They also help you with arranging the best island tours. Now lets talk about the property. One of the best property in khao lak. The property has a good swimming pool, greenary all around, mountains on one side. The rooms are much bigger and spacious and very clean, comfortable beds, spacious bathroom and very clean. You get to hear nature calls in the morning, you dont need an alarm clock there are very sweet hens giving wake up call which feels very soothing in the morning and cheerful. We had a lovely time here in this resort i would recommend this property for staying if you are in khao lak. All the staff people including the host are very good. You get good food here, cutlery is provided whenever required. Best highlight of the place is the free bicycles they provide to visit nearby places. The property is very well located, nearby there are many beaches. Must visit place when in khao lak!!!

This is our 2nd stay at The Retreat and it was just as good as the first. Mr Op, his sister Por and Suka are wonderful staff and can’t do enough for you. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Breakfast is simple but perfect. The 1 speed old fashioned bicycles are free and ideal to get down to Khuk Khak beach. If you’re feeling adventurous, hire a scooter and explore the beautiful nearby beaches- Coconut Beach & Memories Beach are our favourites.

MalaysiaIt’s very difficult to find something we didn’t like as we loved it so much! But, sometimes there was a shortage our hot water. Also, drinking water was unlimited (which was amazing) but a lot of plastic is used so perhaps they could invest in a water refill station instead to save the plastic use!
A fantastic place to stay! The place was beautiful, well kept and a definite ‘retreat’. The staff were super welcoming and accommodating. We couldn’t have been happier with our visit and will definitely return and recommend to friends and family.
