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.).

This hostel suited me very well. I was with a group of four people and managed to secure a room with six beds, which perfectly fit our group. The value is very good. The host is very friendly and made us feel very welcome. In fact, we were only going to stay for one night, but we ended up staying for two more because we really liked the place.

No lift- not a problem but good to know if you struggle to climb steps. You could request a room on a lower floor.
Very friendly staff, nice and clean. Rooms are spacious and fully equipped. Would highly recommend. Great location if heading to the pier.

Only con is no lift although I can’t complain because my partner carried our giant backpacks up all the stairs to the rooftop room where we were staying.
Not a bad thing to say. We stayed for one night and it was excellent, room was ready before checkin, clean and tidy, and actually the first stay we’ve had where water has been left for us! There was helpful information has the reception about buses but the next day she offered us a tuktuk to get us to the pier which cost only 200bht. There is one bathroom per floor so two bedroom to a bathroom, we had no issues with this, there is a specific key for it so you can lock as you leave meaning the other room needs their own key to get in.

Be aware it’s a small hostel so it’s just a great room in a really convenient location with brilliant staff. Don’t be expecting a luxurious hotel resort but definitely recommend this place for exploring Old Town or for transiting through before the islands.
The room was great for a family - bunk beds plus a separate double room within the main room.

First time staying in a hostel. I was informed by my children that this was one of the nicer ones. We shared a 7 bedroomed room with private shower and toilet. It was amazing value for money. Good location, clean, helpful staff. Was ideal for a quick one night stay before catching the ferry the next morning.

The location was out of the centre but on a main road, all walkable. Only downside is the traffic noise if you are facing the street. Ear plugs will do the trick if you are a light sleeper. Other than that it was fab!
If you can get a room here snap it up. We took a room for 3 - double bed with single. Had a balcony, lovely big bathroom, super clean, great air con and bags of character-so many inventive eco ideas.

We had the whole room to our group so it was very comfy but if I were a sole traveller, it is still arranged well for that purpose. The owner lady was very helpful for queries and her English was good. The cat was unforgettable. The room and bathroom were clean.
