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...).

SwedenIt is located near a bar that plays loud music until about midnight. The give out free earplugs but can still be hard if you go to bed early or have a hard time getting to sleep. If you are out either way partying for yourself this is an amazing hostel!

United Kingdom1 shower and 1 toilet for around 16 people which wasn’t the main issue, there was only water running in the shower and taps for around 4 hours a day which meant you had to plan you days around showering when the water was switched on, also couldn’t wash hands after using the toilet so if you do stay here make sure you have hand sanitizer or antibacterial wipes. There’s not a lot of privacy in the dorm with curtains not closing the full way, towels and bedding wasn’t the cleanest, this also wasn’t the cheapest place we’ve stayed at and has better value for money elsewhere when traveling on a budget
Property was in a great location, in the center and close to everything

GermanyBasically a store with a big window front and 2 floors connected by one staircases. With entering the let’s call it the store you are already within one dorm just decided by a curtain. I was lucky and was located on the 2nd floor but also because of the thin walls you hear the bar next door with loud music.
It’s located directly in the city surrounded by bars and other merchants.

FinlandThe space is simply too small for that many beds. Reception table is in the same room with bunk beds and the entrance to the noisy street. Only lower bunks have curtains so if you're unlucky and get a top bunk, then you'll have to basically sleep a meter away from a stranger and also bear with the freezing AC that is blasting right next to your head. There's only 1 shower+toilet room per 20+ guests and the sink is outside of the bathroom so it's a bit annoying having to brush your teeth next to people who are trying to sleep in the same room. The bar next door is playing very loud music and karaoke until 2-3am so regardless of wearing earbuds, you'll hear drunk people shouting and singing. Therefore I cannot recommend the hostel because I would have liked to be able to sleep more than a few hours per night. The hostel is also lacking a common room so its not easy to socialise and make friends here.
Location is very central and convenient, close to the main ferry port and all restaurants etc. The reception was really kind and accommodated my request to change beds which I appreciated a lot.

GermanyNegatives: The dorm room lacked space for luggage storage, which made organizing belongings tricky. The facilities were very basic, and there was almost no privacy, as only the lower bunks had curtains. Noise was a significant issue due to loud music from nearby bars, although earplugs helped somewhat. The lack of a shared or common area made it harder to socialize with other travelers. Lastly, the shared shower and toilet were not as clean as expected, which detracted from the overall comfort.
Review of Beds Friends Phi Phi Hostel I recently stayed one night at Beds Friends Phi Phi Hostel and had a mixed experience. Positives: The dorm room was equipped with both fans and air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable temperature. The bed itself was surprisingly comfortable, and each one had a power socket and light conveniently located nearby. The hostel provides small but thoughtful touches, such as water, coffee, and cookies near the entrance. Security measures were solid, with key-card access to the entrance and small lockers available in the entrance area. The staff were friendly and efficient during check-in and check-out. Conclusion: Beds Friends Phi Phi Hostel is a reasonable choice for a short stay if you're looking for a budget-friendly option with basic amenities. However, if you value privacy, cleanliness, or a social atmosphere, you might want to explore other options.

ThailandPerfect spot for anyone wanting to be in the heart of the action without overspending! It’s right near the beach and nightlife party, with a bar next door, so it’s lively and fun. It can be a bit loud, but they provide earplugs. They also offer tea, coffee, snacks, and a water dispenser every day – nice little extras that make the stay even better!

TanzaniaEXTREMELY loud music and impossible to sleep! Booked 2 nights but left after 1 night. Live music over 100 decibels behind the wall. They know its a problem and give you earplugs. But the only thing seperating your head from a live band and people screaming is a thin wall. Cramped space. Little privacy. Music goes until 2 to 4am

TurkeyI normally refrain writing bad reviews since it effect their business however I think the owner should take proper action. The bar right next to door makes lots of loud music until 2am. I was 1 meter away from front door and it was 2-3cm sliding door so I could hear every breath the singer takes... So this place does not have proper noise isolation. That's why I couldn't sleep until music stops and I do not recommend this place if you want to sleep early for early morning activities. Also, bed sheets and bath towels were stained, only one bathrooms/shower for 8 bunk bed(16 people), the toilet had blood stains for two days and not enough toilet paper. Shower looked quite dirty and does not have hot water as well. I don't think this place deserve 7.9 rating in booking.com and owner should invest proper noise isolation, clean the facilities more frequently.
Convenient location & price. Wifi was fast.
