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 loved everything. The breakfast was really really good with a lot of variety. It was so nice knowing all the staff.Diem, Nikolai, Max & Anna are all such nice,friendly and helpful people. We loved the cruchy chicken burger - we ate it 3 times in 10 days. Book your stay NOW, you won't be sorry.

AustraliaMore of a feedback on the clean up on the beach. There’s rubbish come in from the sea 2-3 times a day (property has no control over), they do clean up what’s washes up onto the sand. But it would be better to clean up the rubbish at the water edge (surf) with some sort of scooper line the one you use to scoop leaves out of swimming pool. Even with the floating rubbish coming in the water is clear and clean. It’s just that all the tourists like me picking up rubbish floating in the water every time you go in. Morning and late afternoon are free of rubbish in the sea though.

It was one of the best and peaceful hotels we’ve been in Cambodia. You can actually feel the hospitality and care of the staffs especially from Nicholas and Anna. The service, the food, and the cleanliness is quite exceptional. One of the cleanest hotels in Koh Rong.

The staff is absolutely amazing, the bar/restaurant has THE BEST music on the island, really cool vibes and just amazing cocktails. Great breakfast. This is just such a chill and classy place and the staff went out of their way to help us and make us happy, they were really sweet. Love this place, I would definitely come back... Highly recommend!

United StatesThe room was fairly small, we booked the family suite and it was a standard-sized hotel room with two queen sized beds within the same room, but overall a great value for the price we paid. Also the beds were very close to the floor, which could be problematic for some. The wifi worked on the first day, but after that didn't seem to reach all the way back to where our room was. There was no cell service in our room either, so we needed to leave the room to send a text message. But overall very minor things, just things to be aware of!
Everything at the White Sand Ark resort was excellent! Located right on Sok San beach, it was a quick (~30 minute and $12) tuk-tuk from the ferry pier. The staff was very welcoming upon our arrival and was able to store our bags until the room was ready for check-in while we spent some time on the lounge chairs on the beach. Our room was very clean and had a refrigerator, but the patio table and chairs were nice for early mornings and late nights. The beds were very comfortable and the room was fairly quiet, aside from a few roosters in the morning. The breakfast buffet was delicious and was served daily with both western and Asian options. The hotel restaurant was open for both lunch and dinner, but there were a few other restaurant options in the nearby quaint little "downtown" area. There were nearby convenience stores and we even had our laundry done while we were there at a nearby stand. The staff kept the beach and the hotel area spotless, cleaning up multiple times per day. Beach towels, paddle boards and scuba masks and snorkels were available at the hotel as well. Anna was incredibly helpful, and she even coordinated our ferry return and the tuk-tuk pickup to bring us back to the pier. You should definitely consider staying here if you are in Koh Rong, I know that we will be back!

United KingdomNot major issues but would've liked better soundproofing in the upstairs rooms, and longer curtains for the room doors to give more privacy as they're glass.
Had the most relaxing few days staying at White Sand Ark. It's on a gorgeous bit of beach, close to restaurants and facilities but so much less crowded than other parts of the island and the beach was spotlessly clean. The rooms were also very clean and the Japanese-style beds really comfortable. The staff are all so lovely and super helpful. And the breakfast and Happy Hour cocktails were great. Highly recommend this place!

United KingdomNo fridge or kettle facility in the room.
A great little quirky hotel. Japanese style with Russian hosts. The rooms are Japanese style with the low beds which might be a bit tricky for some. If you book a sea view be mindful that there is a very steep and old iron spiral stair case to your room so again this could be tricky for someone with a mobility issue. Breakfast is very good as are the lunch and dinner menus. The night BBQ was a little hit and miss for us on a couple of nights the fish and duck was very overcooked. There are other options to eat around the hotel if you need some variety. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The beach is on the doorstep and kept very clean and tidy, lovely comfortable sun beds. Paddle boards and snorkel’s also available to use for free. The location is good about 15 mins tuk tuk from the main koh toch harbour. Quiet at night too.

The room was lovely and clean. Location perfect. Island life starts early but you are able to lie in if you choose. So close to the beach with crystal clear water. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Other meals at the hotel really good especially the BBQ. Service from the staff fantastic. Very helpful. Sand constantly being swept away and raked over to keep things clean. Was able to get dropped off/picked up at Sok San pier with GTVC. Just ask them when boarding, a small extra charge. Thank you to all the staff who made our holiday extra special. Didn't want to leave. Hope we can come back again.
