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 reviewThe guesthouse itself was lovely, with a nice pool and good landscaping around. The room was comfortable and not too cramped.
It was a bit of a walk from the centre of town, but not too far for us. Maybe 15 minutes at our pace.

Verified reviewSecluded little hotel with a lovely pool. Wasn’t busy at all so was nice to have the place to myself.
No refrigerator in the rooms so the water was boiling hot. Shared bathrooms aren’t ideal but it was bearable.

Verified reviewWe loved staying in Ben guest house, so much that we extended our stay. The staff was very friendly. The swimming pool area is welcoming and great to relax. You can have breakfast in the morning, which is simple but nice and well priced.
It is a little bit far from the center, that in a way, we liked that. You can walk in 20/25 minutes. But easy to get a grab taxi.

Verified reviewHad a great pool and could rent a scooter directly from the hotel . Rooms were comfortable and great wifi everywhere .
The mattress of the twin bed in our room was not good compared to the double bed . Not many power plugs available or conveniently placed in the room.

Verified reviewPool was lovely. Room was small but had a little table and 2 chairs out front which was really nice. 2 bottles of water were in glass bottles and tasted superb. A 5/10 minute walk to find restaurants and a corner store. Good selection of food to eat. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment.
A good half hour to get to markets and town area.

Verified reviewFor those of us who don’t mind walking, the guesthouse is about a 20 minute walk from the bus terminal and center of town. The grounds of the guesthouse are lush and well maintained. They even have a nice swimming pool. The woman at the reception desk was professional and friendly and always available to help with any concerns. The drinking water in the rooms was in glass bottles which you seldom see. Our stay was peaceful and comfortable.
The listing said there was a refrigerator in the room but that is not the case.

Verified reviewWe really appreciated this budget hotel. Liked the quiet, tucked away yet central, location - we comfortably walked to all three different night markets in Chiang Rai from this base (admittedly, pleasantly cool temps during our visit) The architecture and landscaping of the grounds is really charming - the pool area is lovely and it's a decent size. Seating area outside rooms is also convivial. Receptionists friendly and helpful. The room itself is very clean and a fine size. Bed and bedding was comfortable. Overhead fan in addition to air-con was lovely. Yes I'd return here.
Room is inexplicably under-furnished? No bedside table? No lamps at all? No wardrobe or indeed anywhere at to store baggage? For info no fridge.
