How GetYourGuide Ranks Koh Lanta Tours: What to Know

The honest, plain-language explanation of our own selection rule.

Summarize this page with AI

We only list Koh Lanta tours on this site that are rated 4.5 stars or higher on GetYourGuide. That's our own editorial policy, applied consistently across the site. It isn't a claim about how GetYourGuide's internal search or recommendation algorithm ranks or orders listings on its own platform, which we don't have inside knowledge of and won't speculate about here. What we can be specific about is our own filter: any tour that falls below 4.5 stars, however popular or well-known, doesn't make it onto our recommendation pages.

In practice, this means a tour with a large number of bookings but a rating under 4.5 stars won't appear on our tours page, while a smaller, less-reviewed tour with a strong 4.5+ rating can. We think this gives a more reliable signal for travellers than sorting by popularity or price alone, since it prioritises what past travellers actually thought of the experience. It also means our list changes over time as ratings shift. A tour that currently qualifies could later drop below the bar if new reviews bring its average down, or a previously excluded tour could newly qualify.

We don't invent or adjust ratings, review counts or prices ourselves, all of that comes from GetYourGuide's live listings, and we link straight through to the tour so you can verify the current rating yourself before booking. Ratings are checked at the time of research, so the figure on the booking page is always the one to trust. Bookings made through our links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you; that never changes which tours qualify, see our affiliate disclosure for the details.

Frequently asked questions

The most likely reason is that it's currently rated below 4.5 stars on GetYourGuide. That's the one consistent bar we apply across every tour we recommend, regardless of how popular or well-known the tour otherwise is.

No. We have no involvement in how GetYourGuide ranks or displays listings on its own platform. Our 4.5★+ rule is purely our own editorial filter for which tours we choose to feature here.

No. A tour qualifies on its rating alone. Commission from bookings is how the site is funded, but it does not buy a place on our lists. See the affiliate disclosure for how the arrangement works.
