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...).

SwitzerlandThe hostel was perfectly located, next to the sairee beach and a lot of diving centers. During the evening/ night it got a bit loud, because a lot of bars are near the hostel (I just used earplugs and was perfectly fine).

United KingdomLocation is great, very central and close to everything (Sairee beach, shops, food etc) but that comes with a little price of it being noisy at night from people on the street and bars.
Everything was really great - staff are nice, I felt safe and comfortable, room was clean. You can ask staff to sort out laundry for you as well. The restaurant under the hostel (indie cafe) is underrated - the Burmese curries are so good!

IrelandThe dorm I was in was quite small and you can’t bring your bag in which was inconvenient, especially being on a top bunk. The floors were dirty and you couldn’t wear your shoes in so the bed got sandy from the beach
The beds are private which is great for nighttime

GermanyThe cleanliness of our room was mediocre (e.g. spots on our linen and bad smell coming from the drain. Due to surrounding bars it got really loud at night even past 11 pm.
The location was great: close to the beach and to several stores, restaurants and bars. Our private room was well equipped and provided everything we needed. The rooftop space was nice to relax and enjoy the view!

United KingdomIt’s on a busy street near a few clubs/bars so you can hear thumping music until the early hours. Not an issue if you want to be out partying but not great if you want a good night sleep.
Comfy beds and nice to have private bunk you can close yourself in. Nice roof terrace. Close to beach.

GermanyThere are bars behind and in front of the hostel. So be prepared for it to be very loud at night. The sheets and bathroom could have been cleaner. The light fixtures were lose.
Had a small single room with bathroom. It’s small but enough for one person that needs a little privacy but still want the benefits of a hostel. Very central, lots of bars, restaurants, dive school, and the beach within 1 minute walk.

United KingdomThe area is pretty lively (a mini Khao San Road!?) so great if you want to in the thick of it but not so much if you want a chilled peaceful space. That said, the rooms are pretty quiet once the door’s closed… All in all, a solid, fun hostel for the younger traveller.
The rooms / bunks are a great design. You feel really cocooned-in when you’re in bed. There are charging points and cubby holes for sleeping things. Bags are stored in lockers outside the room. The roof terrace is pretty cool, and / but overlooks a busy street with boisterous bars. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomTotally my own fault but didn’t realise it’s on a very busy street with music blasting until the early hours! Not great if you’re looking for an early sleep, also the single person room is on the first floor so all the party goers in the dorms have to walk past your room, can be a bit disruptive
Comfortable, easy to get to activities, lovely staff

ThailandYou only had a locker for your stuff, you couldn’t take your bag in the room, so sometimes it was a bit annoying to get your things together. It was okay clean, but it is a hostel at the beach, so there will always be sand and a bit of dirt everywhere, but it was totally fine
The location was perfect, basically at the beach, in the middle of the night life, but still quiet in the rooms. You had everything you need and also a very cute rooftop place to chill

United KingdomAs much as we loved the rooftop it could do with some lighting in the evening. Overall our stay was good, and we have recommended it to friends coming to Koh Tao in the future. However, our room had patches of damp, there were cracks in the walls and the toilet had a strong odour coming from the drains. Make sure to bring ear plugs as it can get quite loud at night from the bars on the road.
We loved the rooftop terrace, had comfy bean bags and a great sun trap in the afternoons and the location was perfect

United KingdomThe dorm rooms were very dark no ceiling lights only the lights in the bunks. To get to the dorms you have to climb 3 flights of stairs and another flight to get to the showers, staff don’t help to show you where your room and everything else is. There were signs to say no backpacks in the room which just made it harder to get things out that you might need from the lockers. Also weren’t allowed to wear shoes in the dorm rooms so that meant sand was being walked in and then into the beds. A few bugs here and there but nothing to be put off of. And for the beds they only provide you with a thin blanket so it can get cold at night and there’s no way to turn the aircon off. I also found that no one was sociable and the hostel could have put on activities etc to help this problem out and stop their reputation for being unsociable.
The property has a good location if you want to party but also a very short walk to the beach. The hostel has a sitting area on the top floor which was very nice.

Blinds were broken so couldn’t raise them up when had no power, they came to “fix” it but only wrapped the chord around for a small and temporary fix, the room and bathroom was a little small, and was very loud due to location. Overall I think I should’ve been a lot cheaper for what it was
Seemed clean and the bed was well made, bathroom was clean.
