Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Secret Beach Bungalow. The staff were extremely attentive and genuinely friendly, always going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent, fresh, and full of flavor. The bungalows themselves are charming, very comfortable. Even though they are officially rated like a two-star hotel, I honestly felt more at home and relaxed here than in some four- or even five-star hotels I’ve stayed at. The view is simply breathtaking and unlike anything else – it makes the whole experience unforgettable. On top of that, the price-performance ratio is practically unbeatable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants a mix of comfort, warm hospitality, and stunning scenery. I will definitely come back!

United KingdomThe bungalows are quite basic but this adds to the charm. The location is quite isolated so a motorbike is advisable. Taxis are easily found up on the road.

IsraelPerfect solo escape, peaceful and uplifting! I stayed here alone and had a truly wonderful experience. The staff were kind and attentive, making me feel welcome from the start. The beach is beautiful and feels private, which was perfect for quiet relaxation. The restaurant was great, and the whole place had an amazing, peaceful vibe. Ideal for unwinding and recharging.

HungaryAnts. After a while, quite a few of them would gather in the bathroom, and we had to deal with them daily.
Secret Beach is a true gem on Koh Phangan. There are people around during the day (we visited in mid-June), but it’s never crowded. The bungalows are located in a small nice area, we really enjoyed relaxing in the shade of the trees. During the day, the tide goes out quite a bit, but the beach is still beautiful. The food is delicious, and although the staff’s English is a bit hard to understand, they are very helpful.

IsraelPerfect for people who want’s some quit time . No shopping close by. So if you don’t have a vehicle, it’s not so simple to reach 7/11 or any other place .
The beach is beautiful and clean. The room had exactly what I needed. A comfortable bed from which you see a fantastic view of the green garden and the sea, the water pressure in the shower was great. The staff gave good service and were really helpful

IrelandWhile a parking area is provided, it’s more suitable for scooters than cars. We had to leave our car up on the roadside. This wasn’t really a huge problem as there was a hard verge in to the side of the road, so the car was safe enough.
Secret Beach is a stunning beach that is perfect for relaxation. The beachfront bungalows had their own private area in front, separated from the beach, that was nicely shaded. Each bungalow had 2 sun beds & beanbags which could be brought onto the beach if you wanted. A nice touch was the mosquito net around the bed, although clothes pegs were needed to hold the edges closed. There were guys sweeping the areas outside the bungalows and the beach early every morning, keeping them clean. 2 bottles of water were left on the porch every morning and beach towels were provided. The bar & restaurant at Secret Beach Bungalows was second to none. Food was absolutely delicious.

GermanyThe beach was really crowded (and quite noisy) over the day. We (an older couple) chose another beach to relax.
Extremely happy with the bungalow right on the water. So peaceful and beautiful (until the beach crowd arrives). The 'resort' has only a handful of units, truely wonderful. Value for money was great in our case - but the room rate tripled the day we left (due to the full-moon parties everywhere). Since the bungalows are nice but far from luxurious, asking 300 € or more per night is ridiculous in our view. A great plus-plus: The restaurant ("Lost and Found") is sooo romantic at night - and serves great curries.

United KingdomWe stayed in a superior beach bungalow for 2 weeks which was perfect. Hot shower, hair dryer, tea, coffee, comfy bed. Secret beach is in a great location we hired a bike and managed to explore the island from here. The food for breakfast lunch and dinner including the cocktails were all great. The best part was the staff who couldn’t do more for us always with a genuine smile. Thank you we highly recommend Secret Beach and will return 😊
