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...).

United Arab EmiratesLighting in the living space was very bright. We moved the lamp from the bedroom to overcome this and make it feel more cosy. Some more shelves / hooks in the bathroom would also be helpful.
Cosy home away from home with everything you need! Ideal for longer stays as you have the living space and sofa area. Also option to cook own food and a good size fridge for storing food. It was quiet and in a lovely area that made you feel like you weren’t just a tourist in a hotel! It was very clean and the owners are lovely and helpful people. I loved that there was squidgy tool for removing water in the bathroom after showering. Joy came to clean the space and changed the bedding and towels during our stay, which we appreciated as we have stayed 5+ days in other places where this isn’t offered. We were also able to rent a scooter from the owners so we could explore the island immediately.

United KingdomThe house was huge and really clean and comfortable with lounge, dining area, outside terrace. Frank and Joy were always about to offer advice on points of interest and organised scooters which were there when we arrived (essential to get about and for restaurants in the evenings). Joy also organised taxi and speedboat transfers for our next destination! Thankyou!!

The secret garden is amazing! We stayed here for 5 nights and we would highly recommend! Thanks so much to Joy and Frank, they were super helpful and great hosts! Our stayed began with us having a problem with our scooter closer to the central of the island and Frank drove us there so we could return the scooter which really helped us a lot. We were able to hire a scooter at the secret garden for 250 bath per day which was good because it is a necessity to have a scooter to drive around and explore this beautiful island. The bungalows are newly built so very modern and super clean. The bed was comfortable and yeah really the bungalow was great! The area itself is beautiful and very calm and quiet which we loved as well. During our stay Joy and Frank were always happy to help in any way and again super friendly. Joy also helped us book a taxi and speedboat back to Phuket which was great which made us save a few hundred baths. If we ever come back to Koh Yao Yai we are definitely coming back to The Secret Garden!

We spent 9 days in the Junior Suite with garden view and it was perfect for us. Super large with a separate bedroom , and all spotlessly clean. The owners Franck and Joy were very kind and offered to help us with activities on the island and directed us to beaches and restaurants. They arranged a scooter which gave us the freedom to move around the island and I would strongly recommend. In all , it was a very relaxing stay and we didnt want to leave!

HungaryWe loved everything
The owners are just amazing, super kind and nice people. This was by far our favourite stay during our 1 month trip in Thailand. Their place is very modern, well equipped with nice taste and design, excellent value. Take their breakfast, it is very good and also the best coffee we ever had during our trip. Best sleep at night as place is secluded and really quite, I truly appreciated it as I am a light sleeper and struggled everywhere else before. we loved that it is on the less touristy side of the island yet even more beautiful and authentic. The motorbike Franck gave us was in excellent shape. They advised to us nice places to visit on the island, thanks to that we had a hidden beach just for ourselves. We cannot recommend their place enough, you can feel that they put their hearts into this little secret “home far away from home.” Thank you so much Franck and Joy, and we truly hope to see you again.

SpainIf you dont ride motorbike is difficult to move around because restaurants and shops are quite far from the accomodation. Anyway u can hire transport services to move on (or even bike), owners can help you with that. The nearest beach (Loh Jak) is quite nice and relaxing and at least u can go by walk (20 min).
Amazing place in amazing island! Bungalows are really big, comfy, clean and NEW! Owners recently opened this hotel and is perfect if you are looking for relax in the middle of the jungle of a island still not very touristic and very local! U will fall in love with the place, is really home, very quiet and beautiful around. They serve delicious breakfast for 250 THB. Also they were very nice with me and took me by motorbike to the nearest beaches. Many thanks!
