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 reviewVery comfortable and clean dorm. Staff were very friendly and the laundry service was very convenient. Great social spaces at this hostel - a couple common areas with tables/sofas and a rooftop pool. Excellent location too, close to the beach and lots of bars/restaurants.
Thanks so much for your lovely review! 🌴 It was so good to meet you! We’re happy you enjoyed the dorms, social spaces, and rooftop pool — and we’ll pass your kind words to the team. Glad you loved the location too. Hope to welcome you back soon — safe travels and enjoy the rest of your time in Thailand! Big hugs Team Savage

Verified reviewThe staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hostel was in a great location surrounded by cafes , shops and restaurants and close to the beach! The room was cleaned everyday which really helped due to it being so small.
We got the private room and it was incredibly small. We are used to staying in hostels and have stayed in some very tiny rooms but this one we could not fit our things in and we struggled to shower, get ready and organise due to the lack of space. If we were to come again we’d only manage the one night I think - three was far too much!
Thank you for your review Maddy 😊 We’re so pleased you enjoyed our friendly staff, great location, and daily cleaning service. We do understand the mini private rooms are very cozy — the dimensions are on display for future guests to check before they make a reservation. They’re designed for short stays and minimal luggage. For longer visits, we recommend our larger suites for more space. We enjoyed meeting you and hope to welcome you back in the future. Safe travels and enjoy the rest of your time in Thailand! Warm wishes Team Savage

Verified reviewNice place to stay probably allot better when sunny
There was a staff member i spoke to on the desk, and I tried cancelling, and instead of being polite with the manner, he was a bit rude saying if I didn't pay for the room he wouldn't give me my passport back I understand they have set rules but he could of been a little more polite as it was a little bit expensive for just one nights stay

Verified reviewLove the facilities and the location. The staff were really helpful when I had questions about anything. Will definitely come back some other time. Loved the beds, and even though I was staying in a 16-person room, I still felt like I had privacy in my comfy pod

Verified reviewNice dorm rooms, beds were built into concrete so very solid, not just a bunk bed, AC was good, but I think I got a chest infection from the AC so that put a damper on my stay, great staff those that I interacted with. Would recommend.
Although AC was good, there was no windows in the room so fresh air was an issue, I think this may have contributed to my chest issues, but over all my stay was good,

Verified reviewI like almost everything at Savage, nice rooms, good location, great services, and provides activities for guest. What I like the most is the room. Even it is a shared dorm but the bed is like a capsule pod with no noise compared to bunk bed. It is also spacious enough to put some stuff and even have a safe. Highly recomendeded 💙
Some equipment needs a little more care. The door at my room was broken and staff fixed it already, but you need an extra push otherwise the beep sounds come and it was a little annoying.
