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 review- we stayed as a family of 4. The room had one double bed and bunk bed. The space was massive for us. - the staff were so lovely - the location was ideal, close to the pier but far enough away to not be surrounded by people constantly - beds were very comfortable
We loved the hostel no negative comments. If I wished to be picky it would be one thing that cannot be changed. It would be better to have the fan in the middle of the room to be more effective for everyone. Saying this, it did not impact our stay at all.

Verified reviewThe place was not far from the pier
We were first given a room with mold. It smelled like mold, and our bed linens were slightly damp. We slept in that room for two nights. Then we started getting sore throats and told the reception that there was mold in the room and asked if they could do something about it. We were then given a new room. The man at the reception immediately knew what we were talking about and apparently was already aware that there was mold in the room. I don't think it's acceptable to keep renting out a room when it's clearly known that it has mold. Additionally, the price of €35 per night is absolutely too much for what you get. A very small room with no storage space, no wardrobe, etc. There are clearly better and more modern accommodations available for the same price.

Verified reviewNothing The photos doesn't match with the real rooms The only good point was a smiling guy who help us whit the luggage
The guy in the reception wasn't friendly at all He didn't gave us toilet roll or shampoo No cleaning services or fresh towels in 4 days
dear Javiera, the photos are from the quadruple room, which you booked, so your statement about the photos is incorrect Aldo, every room gets provided with shampoo, body gel and toilet paper, so you're not correct about that as well. Staff did tell me you complained about the shampoo, you didn't like it.... Towels were changed every day. We clean the room on request, which is told to every guest on check in. You didn't ask.

Verified reviewNice staff. Near the city centre & the pier on Koh tao. For a couple of days, totally fine.
One recognises within seconds, that the accommodation is a bit older. In my view, the room was a bit too big. The bathroom couldn’t have been more clean. Door should have closed a bit better. Unfortunately we had ants, but thats a bit common on the island or even in Thailand itself.
