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 reviewN/A was not able to take the breakfast.
Noisy even before or after the quiet hours.
Hi Patricia, wow - thank you so much for the excellent rating! While we are a party hostel, we do observe quiet hours starting at midnight. Beyond this time, we do ask everyone to be considerate, and our security team will intervene when someone is disrupted to an extreme degree or if it is reported to us during the stay. We hope you’ve been having a wonderful time on your travels since!

Verified reviewPretty cool hostel with friendly stuffs. Very clean and the food is pretty delicious.
Only problem is the party noise at night. And also low pretty when it comes to the water in the bathroom.
Hi Steven, thank you for your review. We understand where you’re coming from with your feedback. We do go to great lengths in our online marketing, videos, and room descriptions to make it clear that we are a party hostel. For this reason, we will tend to be a little noisier, our bar does close at midnight, still leaving plenty of time to have a good night’s rest. We hope you’ve been enjoying your travels since!

Verified reviewVery spacious good with nice bathroom. Didnt use the pool but had food and drinks at the bar, which was good. Place is a bit hidden and transportation would be an advantage. Can't go wrong with Mad Monkey (if you don't mind noise and party), as they have pretty good standards.
Hi Daniel, it was an absolute delight having you stay here with our team at Mad Monkey. Wishing you the best for your onward trip! Thank you for choosing our socially responsible hostel.

Verified reviewStaff was highly accommodating and friendly. They invited me to the accommodation's free event which was really lively and fun - they offered free food and drinks.
The accomodation's location was far from the main highway/road which was about 3-5 minutes walk - on the good side it is known by the locals and tryc drivers which made it easy to locate.
Hi Lontoc, it was a real pleasure to host you here at Mad Monkey. We hope to see you again sooner than not - we’ll keep the welcome mat ready to roll out!

Verified reviewPlace was clean and nice to hang out in. They have a pool and bar as well.
If I had to pick, wifi signal was not very good. The location is not far from the main road but you do have to take a trike or walk for a bit.
Hi Margarita, thank you for your lovely review. We take all feedback seriously, and your review is much appreciated. We hope you’ll be able to visit another one of our socially responsible hostels during your travels.
