Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United StatesI love this hostel. I enjoyed staying here so much and ended up staying way longer than I planned. The rooms/bathrooms are super clean and the common area and pool are really nice. Also the food/coffee/beer isn’t overpriced. The people who work here were super helpful and nice. It's a very chill lowkey vibe but I was also able to meet a bunch of people so it can be social if you want. Thank you so much Gecko Hostel for your kindness and hospitality! And special thank you for helping me so much with the scooter haha :) Good luck and happy Cambodian new year!

BelgiumNice location in a quieter street, comfortable bed and possibility to get a locker and towel against deposit, nice foods. I received good advice from the staff on activities and had nice chats. On the first two nights I asked if the A/C could be turned up as I was freezing, which they did, and the following nights they put it on the higher temperature on their own initiative. A small improvement could be to add one or two sun beds, it would make the swimming pool more enjoyable.

GermanyAmazing hostel that is owned by locals that can give you lots of great insider information. They are super friendly and helpful. If needed they can help you to get tours, bikes and bus tickets. You can get extra blankets, towels, locker key and they also serve great food for a fair price. The vibe is cozy relaxed and people are calm at night. I had lots of great conversations with the staff.

Amazing hostel, very good staff, clean and the pool is a nice touch - it's out of the sun too. Excellent and quiet location (which I prefer), small cafe or two nearby. Market, pubs and restaurants approx 5 mins walk away.

FranceThe bathrooms certainly need improvement, but the hotel is well aware of this and it is not such a big problem.
we are so well received at Gecko hostel, always with a smile, time to answer our many questions, time to chat a little at the reception. I stayed 10 days (more than expected!) and I felt very good there, the atmosphere is good, chill, and the meals offered are very good! the dormitory beds are spacious and comfortable, I got attached to this place and I thank the whole team a thousand times 😙

United KingdomFriendly, knowledgable staff who were kind enough to allow me early check in. Affordable dorm, nice private beds with curtains, good location, good tours, clean rooms and bathrooms. They are a new local business so they are still improving the hostel - this is not a negative because you can see that they really care and want to make it even better.

GermanyGreat central yet quiet location in walking distance to Pub Street, night market and the river. I really liked the lush outside area with plants and pool, the very comfy beds and bathroom in the dorm. Best above all ist the lovely staff. They helped me with tours, bus and TukTuk booking, were always open for any questions or wishes and even checked me in early after a long night bus. They really make you feel at home abroad!
