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.).

NepalIt has a private beach with all different equipments like snorkelling mask which is really convenient. The staff are super friendly and go out of the way to help you. They even went through the trouble of finding us an island hopping package that included snorkelling and everything as we requested per our need. The food as well is super delicious (specially the padthai). Lots of activities available to do at the resort itself so you are always occupied with stuffs to do.

SwedenI wish the restaurant did not close so early. And the light setup is cold low energy lights so not so cosy at night as it could have been.
This is probably one of the most relaxed and tranquil place on Koh Samet. It's not by any means a 5 star resort, but its absolutely 5 stars for your soul! The personal is amazing and adorable. I love this place!

ThailandThe breakfast was average, some days were better than others but overall not awful. Our rooms was only made up once in 4 nights which was a shame as it got very sandy.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, they couldn’t do enough for us! They helped with taxi hire, bike rental, we bored snorkels etc The resort is quiet and peaceful, there is a lot of space outside to relax and play games.

United StatesIt was perfect for me, but the rooms are bare bones, and I could imagine it might be loud if you had a neighbor in the adjoining room. The beds were a little firmer than I like, but again, for the price, you really can't beat the price and location.
The location was terrific. It was Quiet and beautiful. Tucked away next to the beach, it avoided the loud bars and drunk tourists downtown. The staff were beyond friendly. When I left, I felt like I was leaving a family friend's house.

GermanyIt was a little bit confusing to find a reception when you arrive, it's located down near the sea so it would be nice to see a sign, pointing where to go :) Also there is a house construction now, right in the middle of the hotel's area, which bothered my view a little, but hope it will be over soon :)
It's a very cozy hotel, with nice area around and great restaurant. There's also an own small beach for swimming and a common area, filled with hammocks, swings, sunbeds etc. The room is beautiful and has all what you need. I stayed only one night, but I wish I could make my vacation there much longer!

United KingdomThere are lots of mosquitoes, which is expected in the location - the team did put out mosquito repellents out each night & morning.
The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was simple but very clean and comfortable. It was right on the beach with a few great places to eat only a short walk away. We made great use of the dartboard.

BelgiumThere was no baby bed available while this resort was in the list of hotels with arrangements for kids. Maybe a bug in the criterias on the app because when we checked it later it is clearly stated in the description that they don't have baby bed. They still provided us with a solution for the baby and she slept well, but it was not ideal. The resort was also under construction so we had issues for the baby to have a nap during the day (noisy). But the service and the team largely compensated these inconveniences.
The team is exceptional, they are very helpful and super friendly, especially with kids.The resort had other rooms available (bigger and more recent) so they gave us the choice for the rooms when we arrived, very nice gesture. The location is good and the chill spaces in front of the sea are beautiful. Everything we ate was excellent and not expensive.
