Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

ThailandOverall is wonderful, housekeeping staff are very nice. I stay at this property every month and very happy. However, I found some area to improve i.e. shower water pressure should be stronger, hot water is too hot and can’t control properly, one of aircon in dorm was not working (only on my last day).

Comfy chairs in common room. Bed is decent. Staff is very helpful with organising tour. Nice garden area.

PhilippinesThe curtain is see through white, there’s really no privacy. The bathroom has 2 shower and 2 toilet for women in our floor, wish it can be more to lessen waiting time. The bed is hard for me.
The common area. There is a garden if you want to be outside, the common area inside are good as well.

GermanyUnfortunately the hostel was overbooked for one night and I was told this when I arrived. I would have liked to have been told beforehand so that I could decide whether to cancel the whole booking and find another hostel.
All in all really nice Hostel.

Canada- Bed curtains are transparent - not a deal breaker for me but a darker colour could help give more privacy - Shower doors in the women’s washroom are also transparent. Thankfully blurry but you can definitely see through them regardless. - washrooms could be cleaned and restocked a little more frequently given how many are staying there
This place is a total gem! - great bed pods. Comfortable and spacious - quiet doors that don’t slam - a lot of comfortable social spaces to hangout - free water/coffee 24/7 - breakfast is simple but it’s free so no complaints here! - laundry machine on site and space to dry - super close to the Saturday night market and walking distance to the nightly bazaar

IndiaWhile my stay at Baan Mai Kradan Hostel was truly enjoyable, there is always room for small improvements. One thing that could have been better was the availability of paper towels in the bathroom, which would have added extra convenience for guests. Additionally, having more hooks or shelves in the shower area to keep toiletries, towels, and fresh clothes separately would have been a nice touch. That being said, these were minor aspects compared to the overall wonderful experience. The hostel’s cleanliness, comfort, and vibrant atmosphere still made it a fantastic place to stay!
Baan Mai Kradan Hostel in Chiang Rai offers a truly unique and vibrant atmosphere, making the stay memorable. The space is thoughtfully designed, with a lively and colorful ambiance featuring a spacious lawn adorned with charming terracotta figurines, a cheerful group of laughing sheep, and adorable cat couple idols. One of the standout elements was the interactive whiteboards filled with handwritten messages from travelers across the world, penned in various colors, adding a personal and heartwarming touch to the experience. Cleanliness was impeccable—staff maintained the property 24/7, ensuring spotless common areas and bathrooms. The beds were spacious and comfortable, providing the perfect balance of privacy and relaxation. The air conditioning worked efficiently, maintaining a quiet and comfortable temperature throughout the stay. Overall, the hostel provided a delightful and cozy environment, blending cleanliness, comfort, and a lively, artistic vibe that made the stay truly enjoyable.

United KingdomNo complaints it was lovely.
The hotel is absolutely spotless, incredibly beautiful and the energy in it is relaxed and kind of artsy. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Breakfast is very simple but if you book a room you get like a special one to be cooked for you that is very good. Location is great and is very peaceful during the night. Loads of young proffesionals or backpackers or people remote working. Very good athmosphere.

United StatesAnnoying that the biggest common room closes at 9pm, but I understand it is so it remains clean before breakfast, and there are other spaces to be in which is nice. The other travelers in my room never locked the door which I didn't like, but that is not the hostel's fault.
This hostel was SO NICE!! So many common spaces, a relaxing yard, a rooftop to hang out on. The beds had so much space on either side to set your things (a common frustration of mine in dorms is the lack of bedside space), and the lockers were big enough to fit an open suitcase which was super great.

GermanyThis is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in (and I have stayed in many)! Super friendly staff, modern and clean, well thought through with many little details that make a backpackers life easier, nice common areas with a garden, freshly brewed coffee in the morning! I booked a scooter through reception and it was promptly delivered to the hostel for a good price. This really is a little gem!
