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.).

BrazilThe water pressure of the shower is really bad. It takes a lot of time to shower because of that. Also, I think when someone downstairs uses the water, we get even less water on the shower. It would be a great thing to fix that.
Extremely clean and beautiful. The staff is so nice, they recommended us a lot of cool things to do.

ChinaThis was my first time in Chiang Mai, and I am so glad I chose Pakping Hostel. The room was very clean and cozy, and the host couple were incredibly nice. Their baby was also super adorable. I had a truly unforgettable week here and made many wonderful friends.

United StatesThis was a great place to stay!
This was a really lovely hostel! Paul and his wife are super friendly and helpful, and I felt right at home. I especially appreciate that Paul helped figure out alternative activities (and made calls to confirm whether tours were running) when my tour cancelled last minute. The dorm beds felt really private and also had two lockers (one beneath the bed, and a small one on the side of the bed). There is a nice common area, and because of the setup, it was really easy to socialize with other guests. There is filtered water to refill your bottle with. Location was great: on a quiet street but within short walking distance of most destinations in the Old City. A few excellent coffee shops nearby (which the hostel staff provides recommendations via WhatsApp on check-in). Overall, I'm glad I stayed here, and I'll definitely stay here again the next time I am in Chiang Mai.

GermanyBest hostel in Chiangmai, the owners Koki and Paul are super lovely and genuine people that take great care of their guests and go the extra mile. They really pour their heart into their small business. Rooms and facilities are very clean, the mattresses get steam cleaned and in the two weeks I stayed here the bedding has been changed several times, fresh towels provided, the beds are spotless. Staff is very kind too and breakfast is provided. Fresh cold/hot water, coffee, tea and sweets are free around the clock. No cooking facilities but microwave and big fridge. It’s very quiet even in the shared accommodation yet super central and great cafes, shops, launderette, restaurants, park, massage, yoga studios, temples at your doorstep or in walking distance. This place attracts good people, no party place, it’s social yet quiet, met very friendly travelers here, good WiFi got a lot of work done and it’s great to chill in the common areas and read a book etc. Early and late check ins possible and smooth, good advice on tours or things to do in the area if you’re interested. Communication is easy and swift they speak perfect English and are well traveled themselves. Highly recommend.

FranceWater pressure is super weak so I couldn't properly wash my hair. The AC was spitting droplets of water :( making the dorm very humid.
Breakfast is actually included, with toasts, peanut butter, jam, cereals and fresh fruits along with tea coffee and milk. Very comfy female dorm, the beds are big enough and private. The private bathroom was cleaned daily and the trash bins emptied several times a day. Zee Zee and Koki are so nice and helpful! Very clean place and I love the mezzanine level with the bean bags!
