Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaOverall the beds were not very comfortable because they are a relatively hard mattress and also in the eight bedroom the hot water does not work at all The internet is very poor but you are on an island so that is ok however I am most frustrated at staff telling me the wrong information this morning leading to me having to wait around on the island for another 2 hours and missing the connections I should have, I understand the English is not your first language however the cause of what happened I literally needs to spend my holiday night working because I have a deadline today
It has a reasonably good Vibe and if you just want to drink and all that stuff it's probably the place for you

United KingdomThe private room was a bit drab but was OK for the money we paid. We moved to a dorm because we extended our stay and that was a lot nicer.
Good location and you can use the hideout bar and swimming pool which is really sociable. Lots of events to meet people. Great for a solo traveller.

United KingdomAttracts loud partygoers so you’re likely to get woken up in the night. Toilet was a little unclean and the location was a bit out of the way.
Rooms were modern and beds were comfortable. Very cheap for Railay.

United KingdomFirst pub quiz i’ve ever had to pay for, Staff come into the dorm rooms throughout the day promoting events which was a little invasive. Drinks were overpriced and had to pay a fair bit for water refills?
Great location, nice clean rooms, able to use the pool from blanco and good social events.

SpainIf you want to sleep,THIS IS NOT YOUR HOSTEL. The bar/pub is exactly underneath the rooms. Either join the party or wait till is done around 01.00. Other than that, I recommend it 👍
The beds were comfortable and bathroom clean and large. We booked 4 bedrooms and we were lucky of having the room for ourselves.

United KingdomMy bed had bed bugs…. I had zigzags of bug bites all across my chest after 4x nights stay. DEFINITELY not mozzie bites as the diff is obvious. idk how because the mattresses are Lino but it’s true and it’s gross. No shelves or curtains in dorm beds. Curtains u can deal with, but not even a shelf on the beds to let your phone charge overnight and a big gap from bed to wall, so you’re sleeping on top of your phone, spectacles if u have them, all night, which is uncomfy and unhealthy None of the employees are Thai - all vaguely cold foreigners (shout out to Riley tho, he is great and actually warm). They didn’t do anything wrong , to clarify, it’s just not the greatest vibe. They are friendly enough but there is something weird there. Also, feels like we should employ Thai people too, surely it’s bad to export jobs in such a place ?
strong a/c (too strong if you are in bed directly underneath and no option to turn off) Clean, modern bathrooms Lovely access - I stayed in bottom room so every morning I open the door and I am in front of the water :) Easy keycard access location is excellent, next to cheapest coconuts, quick walk to beach, great massage. Much better than being on the main Railay strip good events organised by hostel, something every night, really good fun and met really great people Look, you basically have to stay here if u want a hostel in Railay. It does the job cleanly and efficiently V nice about bringing you extra blankets or whatever u need
