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.).

IrelandThe aircon was turned off at the hottest time of the day, so even if you made the most of the morning and came back between 12 and 3, the hottest hours to have a siesta or just be safe from the sun, it was no escape because it was roasting in the room. Also the bed was quite hard, not very comfy, but the location was so perfect and the place was always very clean so it made up for it.
The location is the best. You really couldn't be closer to the beach, you have a pool as well on site, and close to restaurants, seven/eleven, etc. Staff were lovely as well, and they kept the place very clean. The location really is what made it for me! Showers were good, the bunk beds had their own light and curtains which blocked out a lot of light. I did enjoy my stay and would stay again.

NetherlandsReception is not always open, waited many hours to get the deposit back from my scooter. (Be ware they ask 5000 baht or your passport; i would not suggest to give your passport) Not all the staff speak (any) English, that makes communication a bit tricky. Maybe a good idea to put opening hours when there is nobody at reception. The phone nrs to call did not work/ only spoke Thai. I was told this was due to ramadan. Be aware of this the next 2 weeks. That might affect business hours. They did try to do their best. Overal; great stay, good location! Book it but be ware of these things. ✌️😀
The pool is amazing, close to some shops and restaurants, but the best thing; long beach is a 2 min walk away! Stayed in a dorm, beds with curtains are good, with big lockers (space for a big backpack) and a safe, light, charging point for each bed are a big plus! Airco is working, 2 bathrooms in the dorm! They made the bed and gave a fluffy towel. Rented a scooter there (although scratched ip by prior fall) it was working great. Good way to get around the island.

ArgentinaThe pool is "far" from the shared room, so it is not as convenient as I expected to be. But is a minor thing because it is exactly like the pictures.
Location is really good, near 7 eleven, beach, and area with couple of restaurants. Easy to rent a bike . I book transportation with the hostel and the explain very good about time schedule and possible trajectories.

SwedenThe rooms with AC would benefit from a mosquito net.
Great value for money. We stayed in the bungalow with fan and bungalow with ac. The fan was enough to keep the small room cool in january. The rooms are basic and not very modern, but do their job very well. We spent some time by the pool, it’s a very short walk to the beach, and plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. Well run grounds and the staff are incredibly helpful. Like, super incredibly helpful!

GermanyOne toilet was clocked nearly the whole time - so only one toilet for 12 people.
It's a nice hostel with a clean swimming pool. Very close to the beach and a 7-11. The beds were clean and I had 2 bathrooms in the dorm. The AC is on the whole night and takes a break from 2p.m. to 5 p.m. In front of the room was a little sitting area where you could talk with other travellers. You can also rent a scooter directly at the hostel for a cheap price. Good opportunity to see the island.

ThailandThe mattresses in the dorm were very hard and the common area is very basic. No amenities to make coffee or tea and no refillable water.

United KingdomThe outdoor social area really needs a couple of ceiling fans. A fridge and microwave would be nice additions... I would be happy to pay a little extra for these. The bins need emptying twice a day, not once.
The pool was great for staying cool during the afternoon. The beds are big and comfy with socket, light, curtain and wall safe. The lockers are big, you can put a large backpack inside. The bathrooms are also large and spacious.

United Kingdom- It is impossible to find as it isn’t called Lanta Long Beach Hostel it’s called sunny house. We spent over an hour with all our bags asking around trying to find it. All guest that book under Lanta Long have this problem. - The staff are ok but not overly friendly or happy to help. - Pool has so much chlorine in it
great location, just a short walk to the beach andwith a couple superb restaurants nearby. Overall good value for money. You can rent a bike here for just 200THB.

Irelandwe rented a bike off the hostel which broke down the far side of the island, 20 calls later and still no answer, no reply on booking either, we were fortunate enough to find a little cafe up the road where 2 men helped us out and brought our bike to a repair shop. The bike got fixed and I got refunded my money from the hostel after showing some pictures, something to keep in mind when renting the pool was a great size but dirty our last couple of days lots of wildlife around the bungalows so be sure to bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper
we stayed in a little bungalow, it was good value for money, the pool was a very decent size, there is a great restaurant across the road that did amazing meals for fantastic value, close walk to the beach

United KingdomThere was nowhere to get water which is a bit of a shame as I would consider that an essential. There is a 7-11 close by though so I would just stock up beforehand. Also the dorm toilets were not very clean, which is down to the guests but perhaps more checks from cleaners/staff would be helpful.
Great value for money, you really can’t complain when you’re paying £4 a night, it also has a and nice pool area.
