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.).

NetherlandsAmazing kind hostel lady, speaks good english and helps you with literally with everything. You can book any tour with her for one day in advance. Also they make you breakfest and every evening they make a fire. Monkeys are next to you but stay out of the camp so that is nice. Also not to warm during the night. Toilets are clean, almost no insects. I was sick and se brought me to the hospital and took care of me. One of the best stays in thailand. Brings you back to nature

IrelandAbsolutely amazed by Khaosok August Freedom Camp! Surprised by the wild charm with monkeys around, the enchanting river, and the mesmerizing bonfire under the jungle sounds. A truly lovely place to unwind; the tent locations were amazing, clean, and tidy. Perfect for a chill-out retreat surrounded by nature's symphony. 🏕️🐒

United KingdomI can’t think of anything. I extended my stay and nearly everyone else there did too.
This is a beautiful campsite by the river. I saw so much wildlife; a baby colugo, owl, frogs, fish, many cheeky macaques and snakes (in the trees). The tent is very comfortable, with a power lead outside with a fan provided (for each tent) and spare ports for charging your devices. I met some great people here, who shared very good tips for travelling. This was a really nice stop to socialise with others. Noi & her husband were so friendly and helpful. You can book your trips for sightseeing; such as birdwatching/jungle hikes/lake tours through Noi. Noi will also help with checking that there are spaces on buses/vans for onward travels & will get you to the bus stop with your gear. Clean showers and toilets. Laundry service. Breakfast is included (tea, coffee, toast, fruit, fritters). Soft drinks & beer for sale. A 15 minute walk to the National Park entrance. Lots of nearby restaurants and minimarts nearby, but not loud and crazy. A really nice chilled out place. 👌🏼

ItalyI loved the peace and the nature. You could hear the sounds of the jungle and the stream close by. We saw monkeys and even a flying lemur with its baby. Every morning they make an easy breakfast with fruits, toast and coffee, which was just right for us. Facilities were always clean and in good conditions. The owners were caring and always observant to see if everything was alright. Every evening they make fire by the stream, probably with the smoke they try to keep musquitos away. They helped me alot when I was sick. They hurried to buy medicine at the pharmacy for me and gave me other remedies. Everything for free. I will never forget that and I am so grateful for that. This is a family business and they are really honest and lovely people.

United KingdomLoved staying in a tent & falling asleep to the jungle sounds. Taking dips in the river. Staring at the camp fire at night. Noy the owner went out of her way to ensure I was happy. She helped organise the lake tour, sorted free breakfast in the mornings & gave me a lift to the bus station when departing. Very grateful for the hospitality shared. If you prefer being away from noisey bars, nature appreciation and the outdoor camping life than this is for you. If you require luxury this is not. It's the simple life here where less is more 🙏🏼

CroatiaSome guests left their fans on during the night and they were a bit loud (this is really not necessary because the temperature drops pleasantly).
This was my first camping experience in Thailand, and I loved it. I was a bit wary because the listing said "empty lot", but I got a big tent with a mat and blanket, as well as a towel, toilet paper, my own fan, and extension cord for charging my phone. The tents are on an elevated platform and sheltered from the elements. Breakfast was included in the price and consisted of fresh bananas and delicious local sweets. The location is really great because it's quiet and serene, but it takes 5 minutes to walk to the entrance to the national park and all the restaurants. You can book tours of the Khao Sok National Park directly from the host. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer.
