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 KingdomThis accommodation was awesome. We were a couple who stayed in the dorm room. The property was clean, the staff were really friendly and happy to help or talk at any time. I was surprised how much we loved this hostel because we are in our 30’s and this hostel made us feel as though we COULD stay in a lively environment despite music playing at night and lots of people around. This was a friendly and welcoming party hostel. The great thing is the music was off usually around or before midnight so sleeping wasn’t a huge issue for us. We stayed on Xmas eve and they provided for free a dinner buffet for all guest which was a beautiful gesture. THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO STAY IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE FULL MOON PARTY. Unfortunately we got our dates wrong and ended up staying elsewhere for the full moon night, because of that we truly appreciated our experience at the HideOut hostel.

ThailandThe staff were amazing! They really went out of there way to make sure we felt safe and comfortable whilst staying. They joined in activities with us. The rooms and beds got cleaned everyday which is rare for hostels so it was a really nice thing! I definitely recommend staying here and it’s in a really good location for all of the party’s and close to a lot of beaches. The hostel give advice and sell tickets for events and party’s and also hold pre drinks. A lot of guests from other hostels came to Hideout before going out as they atmosphere is just unmatched!

United KingdomThere is a lot of positive points I want to say about this place. When checking in you quickly notice the friendly atmosphere, it’s very welcoming. Upon entering my room I noticed how clean it was so was very happy with this. I ordered food from this hostel a lot of the time it didn’t miss. 10/10, recommend the massaman curry. Alternatively there is a very good restaurant at the end of the road from the hostel towards the beach on the left. About 8 o’clock everyone started partying and the staff looked out for everyone, it was the safest me and my friends felt on the island. People were partying and also playing the Xbox. It generally was the best. The music was great and the drinks quality was even better. Genrally couldn’t be happier with my stay and the memories hideout hostel helped create. Massive thank you to Daniel and the rest of the staff, I’m looking forward to visiting again in the future. One love Mitchell ☮️

GermanyThat i had to leave
From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home. One of the standout features of Hideout Hostel is its incredible owner, Daniel. His passion for hospitality and dedication to ensuring his guests have an amazing stay is truly commendable. Daniel went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed, from providing helpful local tips to organizing exciting activities and events. Speaking of events, Hideout Hostel is renowned for its epic Full Moon Party celebrations. As a solo traveler, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to join in on the festivities with fellow guests and locals alike. The hostel's prime location near Haad Rin Beach meant that we were just a short walk away from the heart of the action, making it incredibly convenient and safe to enjoy the world-famous party. What sets Hideout Hostel apart from other accommodations is its emphasis on creating a social and vibrant atmosphere. The communal areas, such as the cozy lounge and spacious outdoor terrace, were perfect for meeting fellow travelers and sharing stories over a few drinks.

United StatesI couldn't stay longer
The hostel itself is a hidden gem – tucked away from the hustle and bustle, providing a peaceful retreat while still being close to all the action. The atmosphere is laid-back and inviting, perfect for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure. Daniel, the hostel owner, and his incredible staff truly set this place apart. Their genuine hospitality and eagerness to assist with anything I needed made my stay memorable. Whether it was recommending the best local spots or helping me plan my daily adventures, their knowledge and enthusiasm were invaluable. The cleanliness of the hostel is commendable, and the common areas are well-designed for socializing or enjoying some downtime. The dorm rooms were comfortable, and the facilities were always tidy. One of the standout features was the sense of community fostered by Daniel and his team. They organize regular events and activities, creating opportunities for guests to connect and share their travel experiences. If you're looking for a hostel that feels like a home away from home, with fantastic people at the helm, Hideout Hostel is the place to be. I'll definitely be returning on my next visit to soak up more of the positive vibes and hospitality that make this hostel truly special.

United KingdomVery fun hostel with great staff and lots of events. I stayed for several nights in a 4 bed dorm and it was comfortable and relaxing when not partying. I stayed a bit after Full Moon too and it was chilled when there was no parry’s going on. Pool, TV and other things to do. It was nice to look over the lake from my room too and we had our own balcony area which I’d recommend to get if you can. Good air-con in the room, bed were roomy and comfy. Will head back if I’m in time for Half Moon or another organises party.

KenyaI liked everything about the hostel. It's a nice and cozy place to stay.
Hideout is an excellent hostel to stay at. First, the location is amazing. It's a 3-minute walk to haad rin beach which is where the full moon festival takes place. From Haad Rin, you also have easy access to the Eden Party, whynaam beach, lost paradise and more. Just on location alone, this hostel provides such great value for money. The facilities in the hostel are very nice too. Everything feels very clean and comfortable. There's a pool table, airtable, kickers table and lots of board games. There's also an x-box which is free for all guests to use. During party nights like the full moon, the hostel provides free body paint and invites a DJ for a good pre-party. As you can imagine, this all contributes to a very social atmosphere at the hostel and you will leave having made a lot of new friends. The staff is very friendly and well-motivated. During my stay, I was happy to see the staff get some time off on a regular basis. They're also very honest and I felt comfortable leaving my things anywhere because nothing ever gets stolen here. It's very safe. Of course, it's better not to risk it, which is why the hostel provides lockers for free. Just remember to come with your own padlock. You can buy food/drinks from the bar/restaurant at the hostel. The food is very good and it's probably the most affordable in the entire Haad Rin area. I looked. Daniel, the owner is a very friendly guy, and he has his finger on the pulse of the island so if you need any recommendations or tips on things to do, just ask him and he'll give you the best advice.

The place was amazing, the staff was very nice and helpful. The common area is nice, it makes you feel "at home", and I really enjoyed chilling out on the sofas, playing games, and/or talking to the other guests. Pre-parties were organized at the hostel with very good techno/house music and free body painting before going to the full moon party/jungle experience/oxa beach party etc. However, it is to be mentionned that the pre-parties did not last all night long (until midnight approx.) and the hostel was very quiet at bed time. The food was also very good.
