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):
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.).

SpainRight next to the beach, this hostel has an open entrance that serves as a living room - dining area, connected to the street. This is the perfect spot to get in touch with fellow travelers or locals passing by. I stayed at the new hostel -Trival, by aforetime- but came here twice to socialise.

Thailandthere isn't a lot I can say that I didn't like, I was pretty happy with my stay overall and I'd returned after staying the first time. I'd had to move on at the time but I knew that I'd have to return
I can't fault my stay, everything from the facilities on site, the bedrooms and beds themselves, and the location of this property are all magical. The staff, including Phyo are amazing. Very helpful and go above and beyond their post to make sure you have an amazing stay.

CanadaThis was an absolutely perfect property. 11/10 stars! We stayed in the private room, it was like its own little apartment, a living room and kitchen, with a separate bedroom and bathroom, and it was HUGE. The staff were absolutely lovely and so welcoming and kind. Across the road where the hostel is there is another kitchen you can use, and free filtered water. The location was amazing! Seconds from the beach. There’s some nice animals who come around regularly and are wonderful company. Fishi( on her collar), a short one we named stubby and a nice little cat. Definitely would have extended our stay much longer if we were able to

South AfricaNo aircon from 11am - 5pm, but I guess that's because most of the guests head out during the day
Great value for money - hostel style. Great idea to have an "honour system" for the ice cream fridge and coffee, sugar etc. We had our own room though. Definitely hire a scooter to get around - Taling Ngam Bay is quite isolated. But that's also the attraction of the place!

AustraliaA few things could be improved: No dish washing detergent provided. Had to ask. No hand towels. No coasters for coffee tables. Leaving marks on tables from HOT mugs of coffee. Could have provided small milk for coffee in fridge. Most good accommodation provide this.
Location, very quiet, close to beach. Cafe & restaraunts close by. Easy hire of motorcycle.

AustraliaNothing. It was fantastic and the hosts are delightful. Make sure to book the car transfer as grab isn’t available at the airport.
It was in a location far away from the tourist areas of Koh Samui. It was quiet (except for noisy roosters starting at 4am everyday and going on all day). The room was comfortable. The bed was firm and new. The bathroom was good. I couldn’t fault any of the services, it was very homely. I loved it and hope to visit again.

PolandI did notice a bit of an unpleasant odor coming from the bathroom at times, but it's something fairly common in Thailand and didn’t really take away from the overall experience.
I had such a great experience at this hostel! The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and right next to a stunning temple featured in the first episode of the latest season of The White Lotus. Additionally, there's a charming café nearby called Front House, where I enjoyed a delicious breakfast every day. Their sticky rice is exceptional, and the cocktails/ coffe are a perfect way to start the day. The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with anything I needed. If you're looking for a clean, friendly, and beachside spot, this is definitely the place to stay. I’ll definitely be back!

GermanyThe hostel is in a really nice, quiet area with very nice beaches. The team of the hostel is great! There are some really good Restaurants near the hostel. I loved my stay here - they even have a Hostel dog called „Fishi“ who is such a cute and nice girl. The temple and the waterfalls are worth a visit :)
