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.).

AustraliaBreakfast was average enough but it did vary so it was fine… you are isolated if you don’t have a scooter but a nice place to really relax with the partner…ac never quite seemed to get cool enough but it was super hot… overall I would likely go back…steep climb back to the villa after walking down to the beach…
Nice property, rooms by the pool were worth the extra price… pools were nice to have a dip as it was hot hot… friendly staff especially Pim who helped out with everything quickly and with a smile, can get scooters at the hotel which you really need if you want to go see a few places around the island without spending cash on the super-pricey taxis… Tanote bay is beautiful and I love to swim so it was amazing to swim out far and see the fish and the scuba divers doing their thing without the busy ness of the boats around….

IrelandThe pool areas and furniture could do with a little updating.
The hotel is located a short walk away from Tanote Bay which had the best snorkelling we seen on the island after trying several other spots. Rooms were nice and we had a lovely view.

Austriathe staff especially at the reception is not that friendly especially in comparison to the level of hospitality and friendliness in thailand you are used to as a Tourist. The Communication is really Bad, they are very unflexible with check in/check out and we did not feel welcome at all. The Hotel is already a bit older and you can See it. The breakfast is not special or exciting at all as well as the normal menu.

United KingdomAir con wasn’t great and balcony door didn’t shut fully, but that’s me being picky!! Food was ok, not many veggie options at breakfast but plenty of choice of eggs.
Fabulous views. Great location overlooking Tanote Bay. Lovely swimming pools. Lovely balcony to sit out on with a beer. Good value drinks in the mini bar. Complimentary taxi runs a couple of times a day. I didn’t need to use this as I had hired a scooter. Plenty of parking.

United KingdomSome areas of the resort were showing their age on closer inspection. Tiles were falling off the main swimming pool in many places and the whole lot needs re-tiling. The showers in our rooms were very poor and in need of replacement. We had much better showers in places that were half the price during out trip. However, these are minor issues and didn't detract much from our overall enjoyment of the resort.
Stunning views from this hilltop location. Staff were unfailingly polite and helpful at all times during our stay. If you have kids then the 2 pools will clinch the deal. The restaurant has an extensive menu and the food is excellent. The adjoining rooms for a family of 4 were enormous. They also have a pool table and table tennis table to keep the kids amused. Ao Tanote beach is a 5 min walk down a steep hill but worth the effort for the superb snorkelling around the rocks in the middle of the bay and around the sides.

United KingdomI think the food was okay at the restaurant but as it is the easiest option it would be nice if it was better!! The staff will swap options for tofu if requested, but it doesn't say that on the menu. Breakfast was okay.
Swimming pools were gorgeous and huge. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The ability to book massages, sort laundry and sort tours through the hotel. The views from the hotel were amazing of the bay, just be warned there is a walk to the beach. The snorkeling at the beach was amazing. The garden villa (p3) felt nice and secluded and was really quiet. Loved the terrace. Free shuttle available to pier (twice a day). I would definitely recommend!

GreeceIt’s on the other side of the island’s centre, so one can only use the hotel’s quite expensive taxi service or rent a scooter, which isn’t really recommended due to steep hills.
Amazing and really big pool, surrounded by trees. Our room had a wonderful view to the pool and the sea further ahead. There is a footpath which leads to a beautiful beach, quite crowded but I think it’s the best beach of Koh Tao. The room was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was fine too!

United StatesWe used the complimentary shuttle to the pier one day and the scheduled return shuttle never showed up. We reached out via Whatsapp and were lied to once they replied (the lie: he's been there waiting since 4:30pm). It took an hour before the driver showed up; it's a 15 minute drive from the hotel to the pier. We understand things happen, but why not be truthful? It was very off-putting.
While the location is remote, it was exactly what we were looking for from a resort. The breakfast is one of the better we've had at hotels: well labeled and wide selection of items. We stayed a week and there were always new dishes to sample. There is a complimentary shuttle to/from the pier (twice daily). The hotel also picked us up when the ferry arrived. We most liked Tanote Beach, direct access from the hotel; the snorkeling is amazing, but it is quite crowded in the water. The hill from/to the resort is a doozy, but you can take your time still arrive within 5 minutes.

AustriaThe location marked on booking is misleading. It shows that it is directly on the beach, but it is 5-10 minutes by walk (depending on which room you choose). But the location was beautiful, so in the end, I did not mind. The room was a bit loud for me because I am not used to the constant sound of ventilation/AC (which you can hear even if the one in your room is off).
Beautiful location surrounded by greenery, a beautiful sea view. Very nice and friendly staff. Free shuttle to the town 2x per day. The restaurant has a very nice design. Tanote Bay is absolutely fantastic for snorkelling, and if you want to explore more, there is an option to book snorkelling trips directly in the hotel.
