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 KingdomWe travelled here with our two young children and grandparents. We loved the tranquil atmosphere of this place and the beauty of the bay. Our two children enjoyed the freedom they had running between the room, the restaurant and the beach. The food was of high quality and the restaurant has such a great view. Most of all we really appreciated Simon’s help and kindness with many matters. The personalised service really made a relaxing holiday for us. Thank you so much. This is where we will return when we are next on Koh Chang.

BelgiumWe stayed 11 days in Amber Sands and had a wonderful time. If you look for staying at a quiet place to stay in a beautiful environment surrounded by friendly people and coddled with delicious food it is the place to be. Simon, Ning and all the team are super friendly and helpful. Simon drove us to the other side of the Island when a pick-up for diving did not arrive in time in the morning and Ning helped with soothing balms after I had a scooter accident. The food in their restaurant is wonderful. Start the day with a rice soup, fruits or a Thai omelet if you dare to step away from western or British breakfast, it is the best start into the day. And later on, do not miss the wonderful Morning Glory or Fried Egg or Papaya Salad and the mouth watering curries and end the day with a great cocktail like the Gin basil smash. Simon was also so friendly to give us the sails for the catamaran so we could sail it in the ocean just down the beach. Thanks you for everything, Amber Sand team, we would love to come back!

United KingdomThe beach was a little bit dirty so we weren't tempted to swim, though we saw other guests enjoying a swim. The location was quite remote but we hired a scooter so this wasn't a problem for us.
We loved everything about our stay at this lovely little resort. The bungalows are very comfortable with a lovely view out to the beautiful well-maintained garden, up to the lovely pool area and out to sea. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the staff went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. We loved it so much that we extended our stay, and hope to return in the future.

AustraliaNot a lot - The beach has its appeal but is not as nice as others on the island. That said, there are far fewer people to share it with. They also offered stand up paddle boards and kayaks for use on the often beautifully flat waters. Sunrises were magical
The place including the grounds, pool and rooms are kept immaculately. The room we were in felt so open and bright. The food was excellent. The best thing though was the incredible hospitality of the staff and owners. We really felt like we were welcome and looked after there. When we first arrived we were immediately disappointed to drive beyond all the hustling built up centres on Koh Chang but by the end of our start we would choose Amber sands again in a heart beat.

AustraliaThis place was great! Simon and his family were so kind and helpful, the room was great and the bed was super comfy. It was quiet and peaceful with a lovely atmosphere for families. It's on the other side of the island to most shops, restaurants etc, but we really appreciated the courtesy ride to white sands. Ning's cooking is so good, we didn't want to eat anywhere else anyway!

NetherlandsThis place is wonderful. First of all, the staff is so friendly and helpful. It made our stay extra special. The resort has all the facilities you need; a pool, kayaks, restaurant, live music, we loved it. The garden is also worth mentioning, it’s maintained on a daily basis and it looks stunning. The resort is small-scale which was a big plus for us, it’s all nice and quiet. A big recommendation for people who just want to enjoy the quieter side of Koh Chang!

SwedenThis side of the island is more exposed to scrap from the sea. More effort is required to keep the beach clean.
The location is on the best side of the island, less crowded. Little beach with fantastic amber sand. Family owned, you feel at home, the owner does whatever to make you feel comfortable. Facilities are available for free. A real feel good place. With a bike you get around from here to the best places to visit. Absolutely recommended.

Friendly, peaceful relaxed resort with a lovely beach, swimming pool. The service and food are fabulous. It is in the quieter part of the island which suited us perfectly. There are other bars and restaurants along the beach so it is possible to walk elsewhere if you fancy a change of scenery.

PolandThe water was not so perfect, totally not clear, dark and looks like "dirty". But the resort also has small swimming pool.
Perfect place if you want to chill out, it's very calm and quite. I really like the resort, the bungalows are big, clean and good equipped. So comfortable! The owner is very nice and helpful. Restaurant has very good food and coffee. The beach has really amber sand, for us that was ok.

Quiet and relaxing. The room is just as the pictures, bed comfy, food exceptional. The beach is not long but walkable and when the sea is not inviting, there is a pool. Simon was a super host, he gave us a ride into town a couple of times but mostly we stayed in relaxing and eating at the restaurant. Definitively recommended if you prefer the quiet life.
