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.).

IndiaI recently stayed at Black Panther Hostel in Phuket, and I must say it was a great experience. The hostel is very centrally located and just a short walk from the Phuket Old Town Market, which makes it extremely convenient. The location is excellent – it’s easily accessible and close to all the main city center hotspots, markets, restaurants, and other attractions. I booked a private room. Although the room was small, it was very neat, well-maintained, and hygienic, which I really appreciated. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, always making the stay more comfortable. Breakfast was freshly prepared and quite good, adding to the overall positive experience. For anyone traveling on a budget but still looking for a clean, comfortable place in a prime location, this hostel is definitely a great choice. I’ll surely come back here again on my next trip to Phuket.

SpainThe mattress was hard as usual in many thai hostels, is the only thing I didn't like.
The location is great, just in the oldtown and I really loved the desing of the beds, great for privacy even in a shared room. The stuff is also very friendly and the breakfast is nice, nothing special but for me enough to start the day according to the price of the room.

IrelandI booked a private room, didn't realise how tiny it was. On my last night, 2 men on different occasions opened my room (maybe it's by mistake but it scared me, made me uncomfortable the whole night). My bad was I didn't bother reporting it.
It's very close to the Old Town, accessible to shops/restaurants and night markets. Bidet is available in the toilet and a/c in my room.

Great location, nice simple breakfast on scrambled egg, toast and a sausage with a coffee. Room is nice, bathrooms are clean. Staff are very helpful. Lockers are huge so fit all luggage in. The bus from the airport drops you 200m away from the hostel which is perfect.

FranceThe whole building gets super hot in the afternoon. AC is turned down in the rooms from 11:30 to 16:30, it gets too hot to stay. Bathrooms never really cool down. Aggressive mosquitoes in the lobby, so prepare your spray. Nice location in Phuket Town, but Phuket Town itself is pretty far from the west-side beaches. Expect 1h/350bahts by taxi, or 2h by bus for Patong.
Good beds, nice staff, clean facilities. Good location in Phuket Town. Free breakfast.

Austria- I stayed in the private room which was very sweet, but the climate inside the room wasn‘t good. There was an AC, but no window, so the room never sees fresh air - the breakfast was very small
- hot water was working - option of private room with shared bathroom - breakfast included - staff was really friendly and helpful - I could store my luggage before check-in time

IndiaAC is generally switched off in the afternoon which is normal almost in all hostels in Thailand. But way the room is designed it gets a bit stuffy if you are in the room as there are no fans either.
Staff were awesome. I booked my activities at the reception. Location is great at Old Phuket Town. Breakfast is also good, gets you started for your day.

United KingdomMy bed was literally right next to the door (opened onto my bed) which meant that every time the door closed it was loud and blew my curtain, or if i was in the way/getting into bed I would be hit by the door.
Loved the beds, they're like little cubby holes. Meant you had excellent privacy and space to pack etc without being in the way of others. Massive lockers big enough to store your backpack and more. Quiet and clean and enough facilities to accommodate us all. Free breakfast was a nice touch. Only a short 5 minute walk from the main old town streets which are lovely, I went there pretty much every night.
