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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaIt was a bit hard to find. At the top of the stairs go straight through the abandoned building and at the end of that property you'll find the reception

New ZealandThe property is a nightmare to find. DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS it takes you the wrong way. Instead google “The Last Bar” head there and go up the stairs. Continue walking and you’ll see Mom boutique Railay on the left, past that there will be an abandoned bar you’ll have to walk through the bar and then head through the big gate and past all the rooms. Reception is at the back of the property. There was some confusion at check in as they thought we were different guests at first. We also decided to extend our stay and payed cash up front for an extra night. The next day the receptionist knocked on our door in the afternoon asking why we hadn’t checked out yet, I had to remind him we’d payed an extra night which he had completely forgotten about. We encountered some monkeys one afternoon on the stairs which grabbed the bag out of my hand.
We stayed in a cute and cozy cabin. Very comfortable and clean. It had windows both sides, one facing into the lush jungle and the other facing a beautiful limestone mountain wall and the views were amazing. The shower was hot and had good pressure. The dreaded steps were not all that bad for us but we pack light and tend to walk a lot. There was a refillable water station near reception, just be careful at night it’s very low light and as we were refilling our bottles we almost stepped on a big scorpion.

IrelandThe steps, the steps, this can't be emphasised enough. Make sure you know about the steps, you do not want to be coming home late in rain or after a few drinks to do these steps If you're fit and healthy you won't have an issue. The view makes the steps worth it though
The staff are very friendly The view is amazing The room is very comfortable The location is ideal once you get past the steps( lots of steps )

AustraliaThe steps up really are steep. I counted ~130 or so. That's less of a problem than the fact the hotel is probably the furthest away from the centre of all accommodation on Railay. That's still only like 10-15 min but keep in mind. I'd say only pick here if you want affordability above all other considerations. NOTE: To find, go to 'The Last Bar' and find the stairs there.
Place is one of the most affordable in Railay. Nice view of the surrounding forest. Room is clean and nice for the price. Wifi is strong.

United KingdomNow get ready for stairs, lots of stairs, to get to your room. you can see them in the pictures. If you don't like stairs stay away.
The best part is the view, the room was clean, a decent size and the price was good for Railay Beach. The staff was also helpful, a pool is also available it's just not mentioned in the ad as it is part of a different hotel.

United KingdomCheck in wasn’t that straight forward, on google maps it takes you to the wrong place, had to be redirected by someone and also the check in is at the bottom of the hill further along from the hotel which is also confusing.
Staff were friendly and good view once you made it up the stairs.

United StatesBeware, the only downside of staying here is a very steep staircase to access the property. There is no restaurant or convenience store up there, so you’ll have to go up and down it for any food or essentials

United KingdomWe couldn’t get the hot water to work in the shower but we didn’t need it as it was so hot! There are a lot of steps and it is a bit far from the main area of shops, restaurants etc. When we arrived at the bottom of the steps there was no way to contact or notify staff that we had arrived to help us with our bags. We thought there was access to a swimming pool at the property but there isn’t. Location is wrong on Booking and it’s actually located at the end of the street behind Mom’s Boutique (which has a pool and nicer view.)
The room itself was very nice with comfortable bed, good AC, fan and different Wi-Fi for different areas. Free water refill.

AustriaThe bathroom was not cleaned, also no cleaning service in 4 nights. The bathroom itself was dark, and the shower appeared to be on top of a closed bath tub…rather akward, not suited for tall people. Staff was basically invisible and quite unfriendly. Fridge did not work. Not worth the money.

United KingdomThey seemed a little disorganised, but I didn't bother as we only stayed 2 nights. We had to ask for hot water although I thought there was a kettle per room. WARNING - there are a lot of steps as in the name "hilltop" so if you aren't at a general level of fittness probably don't stay here.
Great view from the room! You are in NATURE - we saw an incredible Atlas Moth whilst having our coffee <3 There is a big, comfy bed and lovely decor in the room. The bathroom is nice. Lovely a quiet retreat from all the tourist in Railey. WARNING - there are a lot of steps as in the name "hilltop" so if you aren't at a general level of fittness probably don't stay here.
