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.).

IsraelThat I had to leave.. Thanks again!
From the moment I stepped into this place, I felt welcome, like I was home. Peter and Ae greeted me warmly, provided all the information I needed about Koh Chang, and took care of everything for me. They helped me get the best scooter (the roads are dangerous, so you need a good one!), arranged diving and tours, and assisted with anything else I wanted. When I fell a bit sick while traveling alone, they took me in and cared for me like family. They even invited me and the other guests to a family BBQ on a Sunday evening. Besides the incredible hospitality, the location is perfect—situated between White Sand Beach and Kai Bae. This area is the easiest to drive on a scooter, and the beaches are wonderful (including Chai Chet in the middle). You can also reach Lonely Beach in just 15 minutes by driving. The surroundings have everything you need: great food, a 7/11, a gas station, and more. The cottage itself is lovely and comfy. The shower has hot water, the air conditioning worked great, and there’s a balcony and a small kitchen area with coffee and a fridge. Plus, there’s a shared kitchen outside the room with every kitchen tool you could think of. The Wi-Fi was superb, even better than the Wi-Fi at the co-working spaces on the island. No wonder I came for three nights and ended up staying for almost a month. Thank you, Peter, Ae, and all the wonderful and lovely staff. This will be my home every time I visit Koh Chang from now on.

United KingdomNothing but a couple of suggestions would include; more plug sockets in the bedroom and maybe some form of bedside lights for less harsh lighting. Maybe a washing up bowl so that one can separate washing dishes from the same area one washes hands and teeth as there is only one sink??
Peter (Swedish) and his wife Ao (Thai) as well as every single member of staff at Papaya Cottage are an absolute delight..a rare find indeed. After a super friendly & informative welcome, we were shown to a spotlessly clean bungalow. It was cleaned daily by the irrepressible Pooey. Set in a garden away from the road but close to the restaurant and supermarkets and a tranquil and picturesque walk to the beach along a sandy path. The beach here has good swimming, although some rocks and a few chilled bars Peter & staff helped us book a boat on to Koh Mak which so far, we don't like quite as much as Koh Chang. Good air con in bedroom although none in the rest of the bungalow. Good WiFi. Excellent Swedish coffee every morning as part of the deal... possibly the best coffee on the island??

United Kingdomshower was not hot enough, the owner will give you a yellow shirt with the properties name on it, I get the idea but I feel like most people want to just wear their own clothes whilst out and about and not feel like they need to advertise the property for the owner by wearing a yellow shirt that doesn't particularly look stylish. I left the shirt in my room when I checked out and wasn't sure if I was being rude or not, but guests shouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing, not a big issue though, I'm just nitpicking.
the room is surrounded by beautiful nature, the owner gave me tons of information about Koh Chang, the other staff were friendly and welcoming, they offer a laundry service which is convenient, they have a lovely dog who guards the property. near loads of restaurants, fruit shops. near a nice beach where you can watch the sun set, nice quiet place. I slept well and enjoyed my stay.
