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...).

United KingdomSuch an easy place to live in. Located within walking distance of the Bus station, Chiang Dao Hostel’s private cottage was perfect for our week long stay. Set alongside a stream, we got to enjoy wonderful sunrises, sunsets from our balcony and hang up items to dry. Super useful when you visit the hot springs and streams as much as we did. There are communal areas with hammocks, tables, chairs, hot water, coffee sachets etc. Very friendly staff and a comfortable bed rounded things off nicely. Recommend highly and would certainly stay here again. Note that the bathroom does lead off the balcony and is not the usual en-suite arrangement.

A Perfect Blend of Nature and Comfort My stay at this accommodation was truly unforgettable. The outdoor areas are well-maintained and clean, making it a pleasure to explore the surroundings. The property is nestled in a serene environment, with a beautiful river flowing nearby. However, I did notice some signs of pollution in the river, which was a bit concerning. It would be wonderful to see more efforts in protecting and preserving this natural treasure, as it adds so much to the charm of the place. The room itself was spacious and immaculately clean, offering a comfortable and relaxing retreat after a day of outdoor activities. The highlight for me was the large balcony, which provided stunning views of the surrounding nature. Waking up to the sound of the flowing(stream) right outside my door was incredibly soothing and added a magical touch to the experience. Overall, this is a fantastic place to stay for anyone looking to connect with nature without sacrificing comfort. With a little more attention to environmental conservation, especially regarding the river, this could easily be a perfect destination. I would highly recommend it to nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful getaway.

IsraelOverall it was o.k. Spacious room, beds were comfortable, quiet. Could use better cleaning of the shower/toilet room. There were cobwebs, ants and a feeling that no real attention is payed to really clean it. The outside area of the hostel also felt like someone stopped caring how it looks like. The communal area is pretty much the same as above and the overall feeling is that the hostel a bit neglected.

DenmarkThe place is a gem! It’s in a wonderful location not so far from the centre of town and bus stop. The place is so peaceful with a stream and Mountain View. Just laying on the hammock and reading a book was magic. The staff is kind and they help you out with what you need. The room was spacious with wonderful private small terrace. Clean with all needed for a stay. I would definitely recommend this place:)

United KingdomOne less bed in the dorm, so I had to sleep in a tent (with a matress, pillow, soft blanket and fan outside the door). It was a bit of a shock at first, but in the end kind of an upgrade - solo room ensuite!
The location is beautiful, with huts and hammocks by a river and a view of Doi Chiang Dao. There's a local corner shop close by and it's near the bus stop. The owners don't speak much English but are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.

ThailandMaybe due to being close to nature, the balcony becomes infested with ants. Was shocked to see the balcony and the toilet filled with ants crawling all over on the first morning. Couldn't help stepping on them. Had to have them cleaned up every morning.
Nestled among the trees, the place is an idyllic spot for relaxing and listening to nature's sound. The mosquitoes can be a real nuisance, though, so need a repellent. The room was comfortable with a nice, large balcony which comes with a bed and a mattress to relax and watch the stream beneath flowing by. The host was also kind and made time to take me to the cave. The bus station is just a few minutes walk away. So, all in all, it was a comfortable stay.

GermanyI stayed here for three nights and I really enjoyed myself here. If you are looking for a quiet peaceful place surrounded by beautiful nature and a breathtaking view on the mountain nearby for a very fair price, look no further: This is the place to stay! Nuk, the receptionist, Kat the owner and her partner all have a very warm heart and are willing to help you with every question you have. There is free water for filling up your bottle and I even was allowed to use the kitchen for myself. Here you just feel welcomed and at home <3

Lovely hostel nearby the Main Street and bus station of Chiang Dao. The staff are very friendly and can organise a scooter rental for you, which makes it easy to get around to the different sites. The grounds of the hostel are so peaceful with many places to chill out, including the hammocks! The beds are really comfortable and they provide free towels.

Not only are they kind and helpful in the ordinary course, when I got injured they made sure I got all the help I needed, including helping me with food, getting to the hospital, and everything in between. The accommodations are simple but very comfortable, and the hostel is very close to the things you need in Chiang Dao, including walking distance to 7-11 and some markets. Most importantly, these are these are some of the best people you could meet in Thailand - stay here!
