Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustriaThis place is the best hostel I‘ve ever stayed at, I extended my stay 3 times!! The people working here are so kind and welcoming and the place itself just felt like a home from the beginning on. The rooms are super clean and the food is amazing - definitely try the Massaman Curry and the Chocolate Cookie. You will love this place. 11/10

AustraliaOnly thing was you’re not allowed to bring your own drinks which can be slightly annoying but makes sense because they are running a bar.
Deishaview is easily the best hostel in Koh Tao! The beds are comfier than you will get in a private place, the common room is super social, and there is always something happening every night like pool tournaments, beer pong competition, pub quiz, or live music. The common room is actually technically outside but has fans and a the view is incredible - looking out over the south side of the island! The bar is great and also has a restaurant which is pretty reasonably priced. But what makes this place great is the staff who genuinely just want to see you happy. They are some of the friendliest people on the island and made me and many others feel at home. Shout out to Bear, Min Min, Champ, P Boy, and Monng

United KingdomUnderstand koh tao accommodation is expensive in general but we felt the price didn’t reflect the hostel. Too expensive in my opinion. During our stay there was an altercation between a staff member and the volunteers which involved a lot of shouting and smashing glasses. Probably a one off but felt it was inappropriate and unprofessional as guests were present.
Location is quite far out of the way but this made it more enjoyable as it was quiet and it is a jungle experience. Definitely do need a bike though. Room/en suite was always clean. Relatively quiet hostel during our stay which was a bonus as our room was empty. Still quite sociable, everyone was friendly.

Great hostel! The location is good but you should have a scooter as the hostel is on a hill. The beds are comfortable and you have enough privacy. We had an 8 bed dorm, everything was always very clean and tidy. The hostel offers many activities to socialize with others. The communal area is very pleasant and the prices at the hostel bar are quite ok. The breakfast that you can order at the bar is also delicious. I would come back again!

LithuaniaA bit harder to get on the hill but it was mentioned before so I cannot complain, I knew it. Also I knew that there will be cold shower. That’s not really good but I would still return to this hostel because of staff, activities, nice view, comfortable beds and also just general chill and nice atmosphere.
Staff is really friendly! Girl who was volunteering and helped me to check in was lovely and she explained more things than it’s usual for other hostels hosts. Also it was really nice that she invited to yoga and concert. Also I love guys at the bar. They are really friendly and making great jokes creating chill and relax atmosphere. I enjoyed the view from restaurant, it’s actually amazing!

United KingdomLocation, I thought you might be able to walk into town but you can't, and there's no pavement down the steep hill. If you don't feel comfortable on a motorbike, you'll have to get taxi's everywhere.
