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.).

AustraliaThe view is awesome and the staff very friendly. It took a while to check in but it was busy so to be expected. The Aircon leaked on my bed which was slightly annoying but on the whole a great place to stay

FranceI didn't like that the staff was knocking heavily on the door like crazy everyday at the dorm to know if we want to participate to the events. Just an announce in the whatsapp group would be enough. I saw the way the cleaning staff "cleans" the bedsheets and I can tell you they don't wash the duvet. Instead they spray some horrible perfumed product for you not to smell it was already used. Then the room smells heavily with the product. This kind of thing should be illegal it's full of endocrine disruptor, that's perfect for lungs also...if you don't believe me smell your duvet 🤡
I liked the view mainly and the swimming pool

United StatesThe boat tour we did was really not worth the money and not enjoyable. The gym is not free but 150 baht for entry. I went to the all you can drink night and it was okay.
The location has nice views, but a bit far from the beaches but really not bad. The pool was nice! The staff were friendly, but as expected at a party hosted by they were focused on drinking and partying with each other (but did make an effort to get to know guests)

DenmarkQuite expensive for a bunk bed in Thailand - but there aren't many options at Railay Beach, so you have to take it or leave it... Pool seemed a bit dirty and the "sunbeds" (pillows) where quite worn down. No privacy curtains on bed. En-suite bathroom had bad drainage and was constantly wet. They keep your passport, which no other place have done.
Seems like a nice place if you want to socialize but also want to be able to sleep, as bar closes at 10pm (you still get a lot of drunk people coming home all morning waking you up, but managable). As the town is so small, it was a fine location - stairs are a bit tough, but not to bad.

AustraliaMost of the staff are terrible. Only the ladies doing check in and out are actually friendly and helpful. You also need to pay for everything in this hostel (including all social events). This is the only place I've stayed in Thailand where a hostel "family dinner" was not free. The events run by the hostel are also poor. The trivia was just terribly run and the staff were just rude. The bathrooms could also be cleaner. Finally, they keep hold of your passport when you check in which should not be allowed. Unfortunately, with no real hostel competition at Railay, if you want to stay in a hostel at Railay you don't really have any other options.
The pool and views of Railay from this hostel are great! The stairs also aren't that bad. It's just like staying on the 3rd floor in a building without a lift.

New ZealandThey take your passport as deposit. My passport actually says that my passport cannot be used as a deposit. The reasoning given for taking it as a deposit was that Railay does not have immigration/ police, so if you do something bad at least you can’t go far. However, there are plenty of other remote places that don’t require your passport, so I really don’t see the justification.
Great location, lovely pool/ outdoor area.

6-bed room was in a bungalow above the pool and had windows for natural light (unlike the 10-bed room). Pool and view are nice. Good daily social activities.
