How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was an abandoned property. The door would not shut never mind lock, bed cover dirty, misquitie net with dead insects, mouse/rodent droppings on the table, huge pots of stagnant water standing around the property breeding mosquitoes. The lady left in charge had no English at all and I had to communicate using Google translate. I did feel bad for her as she is essentially caretaker for an abandoned property, no sign of the owners. No idea why it is listed on Booking. Com.
Everything!

Verified reviewStaff very kind and dedicated
Staff didn't know of our (prepaid) booking, room extremely dirty, insects everywhere, "owner is in Germany" was the only excuse: I had already come once in 2016 and liked it, this time was a disaster. I hope they get their acts together.

Verified review2023 October Review. This place is derelict and should not even be allowed to be advertised. Upon enquiry locally, they have had no guests since Covid. The property was dirty, unkempt, strewn with litter, rusty water tap in bathroom, none of the facilities as advertised on booking.com. There was a fallen tree in the roof. There were large standing pots of water which made for a mosquito infested environment. I emailed the owner who ignored my complaint. The whole structure could be considered as dangerous as it was so run down. I complained to Booking.com also, who did not reply. After arriving in the dark, I stayed one night and thrn left.

Verified reviewThe location and atmosphere.
The rooms are not well maintained. Our family stayed at two rooms. Bathrooms in both rooms were dysfunctional. Cleanliness is the worst part of this accommodation. Staff management could be improved.

Verified reviewBreakfast was great (available pure coffee and fresh foods) and foreigners especially from europians will love their location as sea is really closed with hotel. As this resort is for the purpose of Eco, I really love the idea of their location and things (like they use solar enegry and they plant alot of tree for shades and safety).
If the hotel compound is neat and tidy, that would be much better.

Verified reviewThe food was fantastic in taste and very interesting. It is a tranquil little spot that made me feel at home. Oliver ensures that a personal touch is made with how relaxed the environment is. An unforgettable experience, where the friends I made had been coming there for repeat stays and I can understand why. Great value for money and the location is out of a picture book. Central and easy to get to most places on foot. The rooms are simple and rustic, but have everything you may need. If you need anything else, they were happy to help where possible. Towels were replaced upon request, along with a sweep of the rooms. [You have to request housekeeping.]
The lack of water pressure meant it was a bit difficult in terms of being able to wash up [just takes a bit longer. The very long time taken for breakfasts became a bit of a frustration, even with my having read up on reviews to prepare myself, I did not think that it would take so long. A thorough clean of rooms would be appreciated - I enjoy the rustic look but the overall hygiene was left a bit wanting.

Verified reviewAbsolutely the best place to stay for a budget traveller. Right on the beach. And the owner Oliver is special. He will help you with anything he can. Been living here for +25 years. One of my favourite places in Myanmar. Big airy rooms with lots of space. Private bathroom. He is also a chef if you like good food. I was lucky to visit during "the situation", hardly no tourists. So lucky. Can't recommend enough....
Nothing really.

Verified reviewJust like the 1990s. More like a temporary home than a resort. Excellent food. Ocean front rooms have are just 10m from where the waves break at high tide. Service is VERY laid back (just the way it is supposed to be a place like Ngapali).
If you are expecting top facilities and service, this is not for you. But, hey! What were you expecting at this budget range?
