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.).

BelgiumThe Hideout is a little gem hidden away about 5 minutes by motorbike of the main road on Samui. I stayed at the backpackers lodge which is brand new and very comfortable. I've met some great people here including the owners, Sean and Storm, who will help you out whenever they can and show you the best places on Samui and around.

GreeceBUT Even though the place looks beautiful, it isn’t functional. You can not sit up on the top bunk because the ceiling is too low, the mattresses are very hard. The light bulbs are too bright so if one person gets in late and turns on their bunk light, it will wake up everyone. There is no privacy as the bunks do not have curtains.
The staff were very helpful when asked for information. The location can be good if you have a scouter, it’s near the mountains where you can get lost in chasing waterfalls.

IrelandThe location is both a pro and a con. If you drive a scooter then is grand but if you need to walk everywhere it takes about 25mins to get to the main road with shops and restaurants. On the other hand, it is a secluded place and very peaceful. As most day tours provide pick up service is not much of an issue.
The swimming pool is a big highlight. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean.

This place is an AWESOME little gem on Koh Samui. Very off the beaten path, quiet and peaceful with a super chill relaxing vibe. The pool was a lovely addition as well. Friendly helpful staff made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone whether you're looking for a nice private villa or a super comfy dorm situation. The only "slightly" negative drawback for someone is that you "may" need a motorbike or rental car to get to it as it's a bit of a walk off the main road in Mae Nam. But with a rental you are SUPER close to "everything" including world class beaches in paradise!

GermanyI highly recommend you have a scooter if you book this hostel. I didn't mind the walk from the main road to there, but be prepared for 20-30 minutes of walking, if you want to save you a taxi. Restaurants are equally far away - but lots of people ordered their food on apps anyway. As this is a new place, the owners are learning and are aware of a few issues, like missing curtains and are working on resolving these.
A really modern place with awesome owners! It just recently opened and everything is still new and styled very tastefully. The hostel shares the space with other holiday bungalows that surround the amazing pool that you can also use. There's plenty of space outside to sit and relax! The also have a bar which is nice to get some work done or get in touch with others - however currently their fridge is broken, so it was a social place without drinking during the time I stayed there. It's also a very quiet spot with little road traffic and noise and you can enjoy the green of the mountains in the distance. I highly recommend you check it out - especially if you have a scooter! It's a very fair price...

ThailandI could not sleep at all because of the noise and loud. I was close to the door that always opened and shouted very loudly and the rowdy air con also didn’t gave me a chance to sleep well because it was in 50sm of me. When I checked in there was others free places, but the receptionist told me that I cannot take another bed. Also there’s a lot of stuff of the guests everywhere even in the bathroom room it’s difficult to find free place. And there’s mold in shower

United KingdomHad seen reviews of the location being an issue. However the location is clearly on the booking and if you pre arrange a scooter its a 2/3 min drive to the main road. The host can call a scooter company for you if required.
The hosts were very nice and always happy to help out and have a little chat with. Even drove a friend into town who wanted to rent a scooter. Great value for money.

United KingdomThe location is very remote with no way of transport down to the main road if you do not have a scooter, we could not hire a scooter as the island had a shortage due to how busy and time of year. 35 min walk down. No shops nothing around. Bathroom was one of the dirtiest i have ever seen in such a modern hostel. Beds like paper think super hard sleep. The outside area was not inviting, pool area super untidy and unclean, pool was dirty loads of dead bugs and discoloured. Only pillow cases and bottom sheet changed the duvet is not changed or washed which i witnessed a number of times the manager doing. Duvets have stains all over and worn out. No regular cleaner so can go days before cleaned. Building had no rep/receptionist very unorganised and self efficient vibe. The bar area is closed, literally so isolated with nothing to do there. Taxi charges 250bht for a 4 min drive to the bottom of the hill. Avoid!
The other travellers in the hostel. Nice and friendly. The hostel has so much potential but no effort put in at all to maintain the upkeep of the property as the design is pretty but dirty.
