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 reviewI loved how this place is more sociable and the presentation stands out from may places that I've visited! They have great a/c and it's a fun, vibrant environment!
A couple of times the power went out during my weekly stay. It was only for a couple of minutes though. Everything else was pretty much exceptional!

We regret to hear about the brief power outages during your stay, but despite that, we're thrilled that everything else was exceptional. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to see you back again soon!

All good.

Verified reviewGood location
The AC did not work very well in the room. Also if you are in the top bunk there is no privacy and if the room light is on, it is directly in your face so you can’t sleep until everyone goes to bed
Hi Grace, thank you for your feedback. While we conduct monthly preventive maintenance on our air conditioning units to ensure their highest performance, we regret that this did not exceed your expectations. Had we been made aware of the issue at the time, we would have taken steps to make your stay a comfortable one. We hope you’ll give us another go soon and find out what we’re all about and what keeps so many great guests coming back for repeat stays.

Hi Luciane, thank you for choosing to stay with us. Unfortunately, insects are common in Cambodia, particularly when windows are left open, but we completely understand your concerns. Please rest assured that we carry out monthly pest control measures to help minimize such issues. We hope that you had a great stay otherwise!

Verified reviewThe room was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Convenient location and we were able to book day trips through the hostel which saved a lot of time and made our stay easier.
The reps aren’t always the friendliest. One thing to keep in mind is that it is a party hostel. It will get loud. This wasn’t a problem for us but might be for other guests.
Hi Chloe, thank you for staying with us and for your review. We are sorry to hear that you had a negative interaction with our team. They usually earn rave reviews for being friendly and helpful, but once in a while, miscommunication or cultural misunderstanding can cause a rift. We’re talking through this issue with them so that they can learn from it and improve their service. Thank you for the learning opportunity.

Verified reviewThe vibes at night were awesome. The staff interacts with the guest and we play d drinking games, pool etc
As a backpacker, it would be nice to be able to bring food or drinks to ur room. I had a private room and was told to throw my food away upon arriving but then offered to order food from them. If we are at a hostel I feel like we are obviously trying to save money and that includes food. One other thing that made me nervous was the door would lock but if u pulled it toward u and back in, the door would open no problem. I just brought my valuables with me just in case. Besides that the staff was friendly, the pool looked nice although I never saw anyone in it…, prob bc there’s so much to see during the day
Hi Sandra, thank you for recognizing the hard work of our staff members. Regarding your main concern, this house policy goes for all Mad Monkey properties; we do not allow food to be brought inside the room as it attracts pests, which poses a risk to the health and safety of guests. We appreciate your understanding and wish you continued safety on the rest of your trip!

Felt more like a place for foreigners—would be nice to see more locals too. Bathrooms could use some improvement, but I understand it's a dormitory setup.
