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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomMaybe add more sun beds around the pool but everything else was great!
The hotel was really lovely and the pool was great with sea views and the staff were nice. Our room was really nice and we loved the hammock! We rented bikes through the hotel which was handy and they also helped us with pier transfer. We loved sitting on the bean bags to watch the sunset. There was the option to order food but we didn’t bother as there was a nice little night market with food stands just a 3 minute walk away.

LithuaniaDon't know anything. Maybe that there was no hair dryer in the bungalow - but we did not bother about that and did not ask at reception for it.
We went there for our honeymoon and we have been greeted very welcoming by the host. (just wow, they surprised us) Infinity pool, bar/restaurant inside the facilities, beach, beautiful bungalows - that made our stay in the Sarana just magical. Location to access Thong Sala, Haad Rin or other places is also very good. Value for money is just amazing.

United Kingdom-
Brilliant resort. The owner in reception was brilliant, answered any questions we had and organised a taxi for us when we left. The rooms are great- large and clean rooms with a modern shower. AC was great. The pool and facilities were amazing too- free paddle boards and gym on site. Pool was clean and food in restaurant was great and reasonably priced.

United KingdomWe stayed for 3 nights and it was very noisy. They host a lot of different travel groups at this property who are out late and being extremely noisy through the night. We got woken up on multiple occasions at 3-4am of people outside our hut, shouting and laughing. It’s full of very young people with not a lot of consideration for anyone else. I do think If they have these large 30 people travel groups here they should only rent the rooms out to them as presentations, meetings and BBQs with the different groups did take over the property and it felt like we weren’t meant to be there at points.
The pool area is beautiful- loved staying in the little bungalows! Short walk to 7/11.

United KingdomThe night stuff at the bar was a bit rude. The guy, He didn't want to answer me about food and drinks questions, but keeping said, "Look at the menu."
The room was big. The lady at the reception was very accommodating and helped with the luggage and the room. The beach front is very nice, quiet, and clean. We had the massage at the front beach.

FranceIf you sleep in dorm, it is a 4. You can smell the bathroom in the whole dorm, awful smell. It's not clean, the beds are of very poor quality, and the isolation is so bad that even with the AC it's still really hot.
It is a 9 if you sleep in a private room. This place is literally perfect. Gym, swimming pool, beach, yoga, etc.

AustraliaI struggled with the location as a solo traveller, not riding a scooter. It was an expensive taxi ride to see any of the other areas of the island. However that was my problem and no fault of the team at Sarana.
The pool and common areas were great. Right on the beach was great (even if the water was too shallow to swim!) People were lovely too. It was a very simple bungalow to stay in but it had all I needed for the few nights that I stayed.

SwedenI not like the beach. Sometimes it didn't look nice and that's because of the water. I don't know if this is good or bad but it felt like the resort is only for backpackers, feel not for every age. But still good resort of you want stay at budget for some nights.
I liked staying at Sarana bungalows. What I like must was your kindness well service. And for that price it's good bungalows.

Everything. All the staff are so friendly. The food is a mixture of western and Thai, and basically all of it can be vegetarian! The location was perfect. The grounds are well looked after, you can tell the staff and owners take pride in this place.

We absolutely adored this property. We stayed in the dorm and also got our own private bungalow another night. It’s just like an oasis, the pool on the beach, the food is lovely, the staff are amazing, the free access to the gym and the yoga shala. I was in my element when we stayed here, I think we left the property only to go for dinner each day. It’s bliss

United KingdomWe stayed in both types of bungalows and both were absolutely amazing! The bungalows have a beachy feel to them but still are comfortable, clean and modern. We extended our stay within 15 minutes of arriving to the property! There is also a swimming pool with multiple sunbeds and bean bags to sit on the beach. They also allow you to use the paddleboard which was really fun!
