Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IrelandThe shower in our room leaked leaving a strong smell in the cabin. Lots of mosquitoes. If you want to go for a lively meal or few drinks it is not accessible by walking. Unless you are confident hiring a bike, you will pay approximately 150-200 baht per person into the main centre. This becomes an inconvenience when you stay for a couple of nights.
Really enjoyed the Aesthetics of the property. The pool was lovely and the beach was right outside the door. The centre is about 10-15 minutes walk to where you will find few cafes and a 7/11. It’s approximately 800 meters. The staff were very friendly.

LithuaniaThe hotel is in a location a bit deeper into the village and further from the main street - like 10-15 mins walking to the main shops etc, that was a bit exhausting, but with scooter it would be perfect.
Nice location, pool was mostly empty, nice beach property with everything you need, the hotel is basically on the beach so that was amazing. Beautiful location, greenery, nice bungalows - spacious and clean. We were really happy about this stay. The staff also helped us get taxi service which was very convenient.

We absolutely loved the position of our hut right on the beach! Plus the fact the beach is private so quiet and calm. The best view. The gardens are very well kept and magical. The staff did their best to make sure everything was alright. Food eaten in the restaurant was really nice, plus it was open all day. Laundry done on site. Motorcycle rental right round the corner.

United KingdomThe bathroom was quite dark and had a creaky door.
We got a warm welcome from very friendly staff. The location was beautiful, from the beach huts you were less than 30 seconds away from both the pool and the sea. There was a night market 10 minutes walk away with lots of food options. The beach hut style rooms were small but perfect for a short stay.

New ZealandThis isn't a fault of the resort at all, but there was a local festival at a nearby temple all week that played loud music till midnight or later most nights. Some neighbouring resorts also played electronic music. We were hoping to escape the "party" vibes of Phangan, so the noise in such a beautiful setting was quite disappointing. Maybe bring ear plugs? As other people have said, the beach here is not really "swimmable". The west coast of the island is very tidal. You'll need a scooter to access better swimming beaches. However, it is the best beach for long walks.
We really enjoyed our one-week stay at Morning Star. It's a beautiful setting in a garden with a well-kept pool that looks out over the beach. Our superior bungalow also had a sea view and plenty of space. The bungalows could do with some repairs and renovations, but I think this is the case for most places on the island. The wi-fi was good enough for us to do some work. There are many decent restaurants, night market, and 7-11 within walking distance. We walked the length of the beach most days and have to say Morning Star seemed to be one of the nicer accommodations in the area and definitely provided the best value for money that we could see.
