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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 noise of the construction is all day and very disturbing. We have been waked up at 8:00 by loud construction noises and the hotel didn’t warned us about that. When we noticed it to them - they told us it’s not in the hotel and therefore there is nothing they can do. Moreover almost all the services are extra charged (for instance there is no free mineral water in the room) and that is too bad for an hotel of this standing and as expensive and in comparison with the other hotels.
The room is stunning with an incredible view. The size of the room is exceptional and the room is well equipped. The private pool is great and the food is tasty. We fed the elephants which was a great experience !

United KingdomThere’s nothing around the hotel to walk to, but we jumped in a taxi to bophut the fisherman’s village which was 400 baht. Well worth it, a great village with superb restaurants and bars.
This is the nicest place we have ever stayed! The room when we walked in took our breaths away! The views of the elephants freely roaming from our room made us feel incredibly lucky! Everything about this place is luxurious! Feeding the elephants their breakfast and dinner daily was a highlight as well as swimming in the pool and watching them enjoy their day too! If you want luxury and a truly memorable experience then this is the place for you.

Hong KongWhile I fully understand it's in the jungle and there will be mosquitoes and other insects, our dinner experience was spoilt by a few cockroaches crawling on our dinner table, bread basket and food platter which killed our appetite.
Room is extremely spacious and super clean; accommodation is very new and in top notch condition, kitchen appliances are of quality (e.g. SMEG). Bed very comfortable, strong flow of water in the shower. Private pool was very clean. Staff is friendly, attentive and very responsive. Dinner options at the restaurant were very good and same for breakfast (choice of a starter, a bread basket and a main, selection of fresh juices etc.).

IsraelIt’s far from the center which makes sense, you can’t keep elephants in the center. The hotel is under reconstruction and there’s some noise in some parts of the hotel. We didn’t hear it from our room.

KuwaitNot a single thing.
A very clean and new resort, even though some facilities are still under construction. This did not take away from the beauty of the place. The room had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I found it odd that some reviews were complaining about insects in the cottage. However, in reality during my stay, there were no signs of any insects or even mosquitoes inside the cottage. The staff were incredibly welcoming and professional. Special thanks to Melisse and Leila from the reception.

Czech RepublicThe staff at the breakfast was a bit grumpy! Not all of them but most of them were unpleasant. The breakfast menu could have more options and the coffee and juices could be improved. All the finishings of the room and the hotel is high end apart form the kitchen. Mind the hotel is new and still expanding so you can hear the workers during the day. It did not bother us though.
The room is breathtaking! I love that they use the salt to clean the pools. Waking up in the morning and going down to say hi and feed the elephants that are freely running in the nature is just so wholesome. I loved the bed, I slept like like on the cloud, for my husband it was a bit soft. Depends on your preference. Housekeeping amazing! The hotel is very close to Fisherman’s village (2mins by motorbike) so plenty of options for dinner and drink. Also great location to visit the most beautiful beaches of Koh Samui.

SwitzerlandThe front desk could be reinforced with the support of a more experienced person. Another thing that could be greatly appreciated would be a shuttle to the beach or to the fisherman village for instance.
The cottages are very welcoming and well furnished, providing all the amenities and quality one could want and a bit more. The staff at the restaurant and spa were lovely and feeding the elephants in the morning was a fun experience. The location is a bit separated from the rest of the infrastructure but the views are worth it and the quite at night as well (keep in mind that there’s a construction site during the day at this time)
