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 reviewOne of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Great chill out area, short walk from the beach and restaurants. The owners are some of the best people you’ll meet. All round great hostel. Beds are in private capsules, akin to a Japanese capsule hotel. Easy to socialise.
The shower pressure can be quite low but this is common on islands.

Verified reviewHighly recommended to stay here anytime not just the high season, its a wonderful place. The beds are comfy and gives you privacy, amenities are good too. It's located in a perfect spot on the island, everything is close, but you can just hang around in the front for hours without going anywhere. The owners are fantastic people and have a lovely little dog.
Nothing its perfect
thank you 🙏

Verified reviewHollie and Golf (not even mentioning Bamboo, the loveliest doggo manager ever) are just one of the bestest human beings I’ve ever met with! They are adorable, caring, fun and sooo welcoming! The location is more than perfect, the matress and pillow couldn’t be more perfect and the porch, the lovely porch is just the bestest place for hanging out, working, chilling and making new friendships!
Thank you Dora 😊😘

Verified reviewThere's nothing I can say that is bad about Sundaze, not only is the vibe/atmosphere perfect but the owners Holly & Golf are the most amazing people and so caring. If you want to join a little family and have the best experience of the island then this is the place for you, not too lively like a party hostel but stil also much fun for people who want to experience everything the island has to offer and come home to a comfy and well conditioned dorm. Perfect location, hippie pizza just down the road is great and so close to some amazing beaches! You absolutely cannot regret booking here.
Absolutely nothing
thank you bro

Verified reviewGO GO GO HERE!!! Golf, best host ever. Comfy room, super clean, no problem with mixed dorm. Everyone has its own space to sleep, like a little capsule and a locker for storage. Showers, bath super clean and comfortable. Golf is just lovely host - A local, he know almost everything and helps you if you need something. If you don't go you'll miss something. The island is also just lovely.

Verified reviewThe hostel is well located, walkable from the pier even with a very heavy backpack. It’s next to all the shops with plenty of bars and restaurants for the evenings. The main beach is just at the end of the street with loads of other lovely little beaches and bays that you can reach by scooter or walk if it’s not too hot. The vibe is very sociable without being a party hostel. The outside area makes it easy to meet people and gives you somewhere nice to sit with a book and a beer. The little snuggies/ rooms/ whatever that you sleep in are a generous size with enough space to sit up properly and room to keep some bits in there with you. The bathroom is clean and everything works perfectly with 4 showers and 3 toilets between a maximum of 10 people. Golf is THE BEST host on the planet, always went above and beyond to look after us. He’s so kind and generous and up for a laugh- he really made the trip for me. I planned to stay for 3 night but ended up extended my stay because it couldn’t get enough of the slow paced island life here. Ko Samet was never on my list to visit but after staying here it has a place in my heart and I would recommend it to anyone.
thank you

Verified reviewNice location. Friendly staff The atmosphere is very relaxed and quiet. The alcove is simple and very comfortable. The shower is functional, but I would have liked to have a shower gel/shampoo dispenser. I thank the staff for the padlock that I did not have with me
I It's a shame that we can't use the small kitchen behind the counter a little more easily.
