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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SingaporeThe receptionist helped me a lot with ferry and train bookings when I was planning the next part of my trip. The hostel facilitates scooter rentals and it has a restaurant in the basement.

Really nice hostel in Koh Samui, strongly recommended for solo travellers! > 4-bed Dorm is space full and you don’t need to climb the stairs (they look like you see them on the picture). Mattress was really good and you have the plug, light next to the bed and curtains. Toilet inside the dorm > Hostel has a kitchen with microwave, water station, kettle, fridge and a common area > nice people and nice service! They can also book the cab to go to the airport (500 bath) > WiFi worked perfectly > Good location and plenty of night markets, restaurants, thai massage shop/spa and gift shops. Really nice and long beach > Cash payments only > No lift, only stairs to go upstairs to the dorms > There are 3 washing machine just outside the hostel + dryer. It’s 40 bath (takes 1h) and dryer is 25bath. They also have rack cloths at the very top of the hostel, so I’d recommend to hang your cloths there, they’ll get dry in 4h as it’s pretty hot

AustraliaThe common area was hot! I found that despite having the air con on at night it still felt very stuffy/humid while trying to sleep.
Great location and close to the beach and Main Street of Lamai. There was a good amount of space and shelving for my belongings, even on the top bunk. I liked the room had its own bathroom. Staff were always happy to assist and went above and beyond to help me have an enjoyable stay. Reception was staffed 24/7.

AustraliaNothing. I loved everything about this place!
I enjoyed everything about this place. The beds were comfortable, I was on the top bunk and didn’t feel like I disturbed the person on the bottom bunk at all. Bunk beds were very solid! The facilities were amazing and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The location was perfect! Highly recommend staying here. I wish I could have stayed longer.

United KingdomBit odd being a couple (in the double bed) and having only 1 other person staying on the bunk beside us (it was a 4 bed mixed dorm). Two sets of bunk beds would have been better.
Spotlessly clean! Good location.

United KingdomBikes hired from the hostel weren’t great, okay for tiny trips in the local area, but if planning to drive farther around the island you’re better off going to one of the other hire shops down the road for a newer/more serviced one!
LOVE the rooms here, so spacious and stairs up to the beds instead of ladders makes it so much more comfortable for those on a top bunk. Lots of cupboard/storage space. Also the staff are super friendly and helpful ❤️

ThailandTERRIBLE internet service from the bedroom. Very strong AC and bed linen very thin so I was easily cold during the night. No window or proper space for drying clothes.
Room space & bed structure were very good spacious. Loved the decoration. Attentive and very kind staff, really!!! Bed linen changed every other day. Common area for dining, studying and playing at our disposal were also super useful.

Very close to the beach, restaurants, markets and shops. Very clean, well maintained and staff is very welcoming. The beds in dorm rooms are changed regularly if you stay for a few days. Beds are very private with curtains, plug and light. Hot showers. There is a small kitchen with free drinking water, microwave and a fridge as well as a common dining room. You can rent a scooter for a good price and they are well maintained.
