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...).

PhilippinesGot transferred to another hotel that they also managed, was notified early which is good. Got transferred to a 4flr hostel with no elevator. Not good for heavy packers which I had brought a big heavy luggage (32kg). Though they offered to leave the luggage on the lobby which my friend chose but i chose to carry it upstairs to the 4th flr
Near the train which we needed to get to the airport link early. Good for light travelers. Staff is accommodating. Room is good, got hot water, and plenty of power sockets to plug gadgets with.

The best thing about In a Box is that it’s run by two competent and polite young women who are quiet and friendly and helpful. The place is very conveniently located near phaya thai station and you can easily get to know the train commute from this point. If you like a very quiet place far away from all noise then this is the place for you - guests don’t interact much with each other though and tend to keep to themselves; which is not a bad thing. Everyone seems to be in transit staying for a night or two. The beds are cozy and they are happy to provide extra blankets and pillows - and laundry is also pretty cheap i think. Breakfast is very simple (cornflakes w/cold milk + toast with butter and jam packets + coffee tea) and is the same every day. You can say this place is convenient, not cultural. Also, if you plan on partying a lot, this is not the place for you

Canadathe hostel doesn’t have an elevator so you need someone strong to help with bringing your luggage to the room, the mattress and pillow could be softer and they might have to improve on the comforter or invest in a thicker blanket
the location was excellent ! getting to the hostel from the airport was very easy, 1 rail link and a short walk. the staff were lovely and helpful! many food stalls nearby and a 7/11 down the street made it super convenient to grab stuff last minute!

PolandVery good place in Bangkok - especially if you`re in transit to BK main airport. It`s only 5 minutes away from direct train to the airport (about 30 minute ride, first one at 5.30 in the morning). In a Box Hostel is a very cozy place, located in one of the back-alleys, 20 meters from the main street. It`s very clean and stuff is really helpful! 15 minute walk to MBK Center, a lot of shops nearby. Always staying there when in Bagkok :-)

Cambodia- The plants on the tiny balcony were dead (not a big deal but it would look better with some). Also there was a cigarette in the pot while a sign said "do not smoke here". - The mezzanine was too hot and the bottom bed too cold but that's the law of physics right ? :-)
- The quietness of the place even though it is close a big avenue. - The bathroom

Philippines- you leave your shoes outside, I know this is part of the thai culture, it's just that I'm not used to it - no one manning the reception from 10pm till 9am
- Located literally just next to Phaya Thai station - Smooth check-in and the receptionist spoke good English - Cheap laundry service - Free breakfast - Fast internet - comfortable bed - It doesn't have a super social vibe, which is actually a plus for me because I don't like noisy hostels

GermanyThe room for couples is pretty great. It is directly at the phaya Thai Station, so it's perfect to get here quickly with the train after a long flight. Definitely more of an introvert hostel. Very calm, very chilled. But we loved that! Great way to start our trip!
