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 reviewWe upgraded to a air con room easily so the room was good temp and the beds were fine. The man that checked us in was nice.
Pretty much everything else - firstly the water didn’t work for pretty much the whole stay which meant I couldn’t shower for three days. - the staff were nonchalant and not very friendly. - the staff were sleeping in our room which would have been ok they were barely sleeping they were coming in and out of the room chatting and turning the lights on and off ALL NIGHT LONG till about 3:30am. Then from like 7:00-8:30am their alarm was going off every 10 mins until i eventually opened their curtain and told them to either get up or turn it off. Which was so awkward and then I struggled to go back to sleep. Which is all ironic as one of their rules is to be quiet in the dorm. - also we were just sat chatting on my bunk and both of the staff came in together and told us we’re not allowed to have s*x which we weren’t and it made it really uncomfortable as both staff were just stood at the end of my bed. Like why can’t we just sit there. Then saw it’s a rule that if u break you have to pay 5,000 so felt like they were tryna make us pay extra for something we would never do in a dorm !

Verified reviewAmazing staff and a good place to meet people! The dorm beds have a good amount privacy and a shelf to unpack your bags.
The mattresses were horrible, possibly the worst I have ever slept on! Also, the showers were cold.
Thanks for your feedback, and sorry to hear about the mattresses and showers. We've already replaced all the mattresses, and we’ll be starting renovations soon to improve the rest. Hopefully we can welcome you back to Koh Tao sometime in the future

Verified reviewThis hostel is such an amazing place to stay as the staff are really friendly and you will definitely get a chance to meet and make new friends. There is a bar just outside where you can relax and get a couple of drinks. There is also a place on top to dry your stuff if you have been diving or been to the beach. Overall a wonderful place to connect with people.
A little small but great value for money.
