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.).

AustraliaThe electricity dropped out one morning, which stopped everything (including showers and toilet flushing), but I think the power outage was out of the control of the hostel.
Beds were comfy, air-conditioned rooms were amazing. Overall, an amazing stay. Great value for money

SloveniaBathrooms in shared rooms could use a bit of an upgrade and a more thorough clean. Beds were very firm, but still had a good sleep!
Had a great experience staying at Closca. It has such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere, the staff are so lovely and always ready to help with anything. The location is good; it’s not right in the busiest part of town, but still close to everything you need, however I would highly recommend to rent a scooter! Any attractions, beaches or the main strip are far. The hostel itself is very quiet, clean and well-kept. Overall great experience, great value for money - I would recommend!

United StatesI am not comfortable on a scooter, so it is a fairly decent walking distance to more food options. It is doable, but be aware. For the dive shops nearby, it is perfect location.
I stayed in one of the private rooms and it was lovely. Big comfy bed, small couch and fridge, good WiFi, and a nice (shared) balcony. The staff was lovely and the breakfast was small but just enough. Can recommend!

FranceThe stairs are very very steep The flush kept stopping to work in our room The shower drain should be more close to the water or we should have something to bring the water there because then the shower stays wet all day but we still have to go to the bathroom or access the sink Also the bed was TERRIBLE really really hard and you could feel every piece of metal But even with all of the above I would recommend it
I absolutely loved the rooftop, THE CLEANLINESS perfect the wifi was very fast, the location was absolutely perfect everything was well maintenez and our room were cleaned every day also the laundry service very fast and again perfect

Germanymattresses could be softer; more shelf space in the bathroom to hang/put stuff would be convenient as well as ventilation; social activities to engage guests are not offered (yet); breakfast was not very nutritious (only fresh fruit, butter, jam, toast, black tea, coffee and creamer were available) - coffee from Nespresso machine was available for small fee)
Very nice and accommodating staff, scooter rental and laundry service are available; rooms are spacious (mix of dorms and private rooms), nice common area to wind down and meet people

FranceOnly cons that can be annoying for some people is the hardness of the mattress. I don't know if they're all the same though, as we didn't ask.
We stand there for 5 nights. The staff and owners are lovely, very welcoming and helpful. We felt very comfortable staying there. Everything is super clean. It was very quiet at night when we were there, so we could properly rest after long days of diving.

United StatesPerfect stay in Koh Tao! The hostel is run by a lovely Spanish couple who are incredibly kind and make you feel like part of the family from the very first moment. They also speak Spanish, which makes everything even more comfortable if you’re a Spanish speaker. The breakfast is amazing — delicious, varied, and clearly made with love. The location is perfect, just a short walk to several beautiful beaches. And the rooms... absolutely spotless! Super clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. You can tell they put their heart into everything. I highly recommend this place — thank you for everything!
