How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewClose to the beach and the Nest hostel, a relax place during the day and party during the night, particularly during the wkd with the Nestival. The great point is that even if it close to the Nestival, the noise is ok during the night when you want to sleep
Be prepared to have mosquitoes in the bathroom area, being outside. You also have to pay more on the wkd before of the Nestival

Verified review- Comfortable beds with a curtain, light and plug sockets - Hostel owner is very friendly! - Comfy hammocks to chill in :) - Good AC in the dorms at night
- There was no WiFi the entire time I was there and no service either so I ended up spending most of the time outside of the hostel at restaurants nearby with WiFi (not the owners fault, seems like he is doing his best but just a warning) - Location isn’t amazing, I thought I would stay here for Nestival as it’s a 5 minute walk away but I think it would’ve been better to stay in Long Set or Koh Touch where there is more going on during the day and better signal (and then walk 20 minutes to nestival through the jungle or beach) - It is very outdoorsy, the toilets/showers/sinks are outside and it was raining when I was there so this was a bit unpleasant (brushing my teeth in the rain)

Verified reviewThe rooms are some of the most comfortable we have had in over 2 months all over SEA. AMAZING AC, big comfortable beds, black out curtains, multiple charging points per bed. Dara and his family are so kind, generous and really lovely. There is a very nice vibe to this hostel and everyone we met were very friendly. We really enjoyed our time here. It is also 3 minute walk from Nestival and a 20 minute walk to Ko Long (the town with all the supermarkets and cheaper restaurants). If you stay the other side of the beach all the restaurants are much more expensive with no supermarkets.
The area around the hostel is still a building site and there could be some improvement, however the entire area is under construction so all the other hostels are like this too. I think the communal seating area could be made bigger - especially during Nestival would be nice to have more of a social space :) Do not use the laundry onsite for white clothes - our clothes came back stained.

Verified reviewThe owner was incredible. Absolute best hostel owner we have met in our trip! He was kind, helpful, funny and it made us feel so comfortable.
The inconsiderate young travelers that stayed there.

Verified reviewGenuine family run hostel. The owner was really kind and friendly from the minute he welcomed us to the hostel. He helped us change our boa so we could make our early morning connecting bus. Perfect distance from nest without being too close to the music. The only thing is that the hostel is relatively newly built so the facilities are quite basic. Lots of mosquitoes in the showers and bathrooms but that’s unavoidable really with it being a remote island. Would still definitely highly recommend staying here!

Verified reviewI can't say anything but positive about my stay at Blue Zone. I originally booked 3 nights in a dorm, but due to a stupid accident I had to stay longer on the island and so I stayed longer at Blue Zone Hostel. Dara and his wife are incredibly friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable there and because of their good care, I was able to stay positive about my recovery. They felt like family. The dorms are nice, the food is good and the location is also ideal, especially if you want to go to Nestival. It is very close, but still far enough from the music if you want more peace.

Verified reviewThe property was located about 3 minutes from the beach and offered a very relaxing vibe. The owner and his family were the best part, they were very kind and helpful to everyone! The rooms were very comfortable and you could not hear any sound from the outside, even though there was a party at the beach so that was good! I would very much recommend this place!

Verified reviewThis is a great hostel to stay at, run by such a friendly family who will do anything to make your stay the best. The location is good in the middle of 2 of the main beaches but away in a quiet area.
