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 reviewLocated near Sheraton Hotel. It is a bit of a longer walk to Chaweng beach but there is a small beach across the road. The room was comfortable and had a good AC. The staff were very friendly and answered my questions. There is a great bakery next door perfect for coffee, cakes and breakfast. They even do a keto breakfast and home baked bread.
There is a restaurant on the corner that plays country music in the afternoon. This was a bit annoying as I felt I was in Nashville instead of Thailand. The room had a bit of a stale smell but after opening a window and ventilating it a bit, the smell was ok. It must be the moisture outside.

Verified reviewStaff were lovely! Room was very big!! Working AC & Fridge, was given plenty of toiletries! Good location if you rent a bike!
The rooms at the front of the building hear the road noise very loudly! Around the windows & window seating area was rather dirty & the floor, but important part of bedding & bathroom was clean! TV also didn’t work as was very old so just constant static came from it.

Verified reviewStaff was excellent, and the room was large and clean with housekeeping daily. The extra water bottles each day were a nice touch. There is a little cafe for breakfast downstairs as well as a restaurant just next door for dinner.
It is a bit difficult to walk to town because it is located on a busy highway, however, if you have a scooter or use Grab you'll have no issues at all.

Verified reviewEverything! My room was amazing and it even had a bathtub. The staff were incredible and they had cute hotel cats. There was a cafe downstairs that I went to often and the location was perfect.
Bed could be softer but I slept well anyway and the room was facing the highway, something to keep in mind but again, wasn't a major problem for me

Verified reviewThe location is great only if you have means of transportation. The internet was good and the rooms were very good value for money. The staff were attentive and tried to provide everything they could for our stay.
We got the room 204 facing the streets and it was very noisy because the windows are not sound proof but nothing that some earplugs can fix at night. The facilities are a little bit more worn down than what you can see at the pictures. The lobby and the rooms need ventilation.

Verified reviewThe staff were really friendly and welcoming. We could contact them on WhatsApp and they helped us with any questions we had. They provided towels for the beach opposite which was so kind of them. The room service was immaculate which made our room feel clean and taken care of daily. I really recommend staying here.
