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 staff were so friendly and welcoming. We were served lemon iced tea on arrival. The host helped us to book a taxi and let us use the pool table for free. Room was perfect and clean.
Bit of a walk from the main street but for the price it is reasonable.

Verified reviewThe door to the bathroom doesn’t even close properly so in a room of 8 people, all night there is in and out. It doesn’t feel like the hostel is cared for as minor comfort could be upgraded such as curtains on the beds or simply adding small details.

Verified reviewI liked the location and they provide towels.. that’s great. Nice staff.
Honestly i didn’t like much of it. No privacy curtains, drains clogged all the time, very dirty bathroom. Doors sound super loud that when someone goes out it wakes up everyone.. i can’t really recommend this hostel.

Quite expensive for a sharing room, but it was the only option close to the airport in the last minute. The sink and the shower were clogged. Room full of mosquitoes.

Verified reviewMattresses comfortable. Everyone at reception was very kind, as was the man.
Plugs didn't work and no shelf to put your phone if you're on top bunk. Couldn't charge my phone and have it near me at night. Shower didn't work, was stuck on maximum cold. Sink leaked very badly as well, even after a plumber came. No curtains at all, least private hostel I've stayed at - Felt like an army barracks. Slept on the top bunk and was basically staring at the people next to me as i slept. Stairs were very steep and very small, also at a downward incline. Ceiling leaked and clothes got wet. Worst of all, in the mornings the cleaners would open the door, turn the lights on in the rooms, and speak very loudly through the echoey halls. Everyone in the dorm was visibly annoyed at this but they didn't seem to notice. If there was at least curtains on the beds the lights wouldn't have been as bad, but they were also practically shouting at each other which was the more annoying of the two. I understand they have a job to do, but going forward please be considerate that if you see a dorm full of people sleeping at 10am in the morning, it might be polite to keep the door shut if you don't intend to enter, and speak at a lower volume rather than trying to let the whole hostel hear your conversation.

Verified reviewComfy beds, big, clean rooms and bathroom, good AC. I was only there en route to Samui International so didn't spend much time at hostel. Close to airport.
It is on a busy main road, but walking distance to eateries, beach, nightlife. Chill area is next to main road (although there may be another one I didn't see...?)
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed our comfy beds, clean rooms, and good AC. It’s great that our proximity to Samui International Airport was convenient for your travel plans. We understand that being on a busy main road can be a bit noisy, but we hope our location’s easy access to eateries, the beach, and nightlife made up for it. Regarding the chill area, we do have another quieter spot within the hostel – we apologize if it wasn’t clear during your stay. We appreciate your insights and hope to welcome you back for a longer visit next time! Vibes Samui Team
