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...).

Sorry but this was one of the worst hostel experiences. the people in the dorm were unfortunately ridiculously inconsiderate, loudly talking in the night and turning on lights to wake the whole room up at 6-7am ... had 2 sleepless nights. This isn't the hostels fault though, and they did have signs up saying be quiet at night - but the people there ignored them it seems. I left at 8:30am exhausted to go to a new hostel. Rooms basic and very hot, bunks are like kids bed and no privacy at all on top bunks. I woke up to a guy looking at me. No one talks to you, when I said hello to some people they ignored me, cleaky atmosphere and alot of people smoking weed (no problem with weed but it added to a proper antisocial vibe) Cheap price - you get what you pay for. River view was a nice spot though and staff (the lady) was nice, and kindly waited up til midnight to check me in.

CanadaBathroom cleanliness was not great at times, for me it wasn’t that bad, again considering the price, but if you are a picky backpacker take this into consideration. Location was a bit far from old town but we walked quite often or took a grab, easy walk to night bazaar
The price/value for the private AC room is unmatched. We slept very comfortably. Cute hostel animals and friendly staff. I would stay here again if we come back to Chiang Mai

IsraelThere was no water in the hostel during most of my stay. Not in the shower, not in the toilets, not in the sinks. There was no information about that and I had to realise when I was already in the shower. I had to brush my teeth with bottled water and go to sleep sweaty. When the water was back in the morning people smoke in the shower and it stank. Gross! Pretty rub down, a lot of street noise, not enough sockets. I'd say the only place worth staying is the beds outside, not the rooms. Staff wasn't very helpful.
Nice guests outside. AC was fine.

IrelandCramped dorm rooms. Felt unclean - dorms, bathrooms, storage room. Outside area and dorms had loads of insects which led to me getting lots of insect bites. Kitchen facilities including fridge were grim.
Location was adequate and n it too far from 7-11

NetherlandsIt was kind of far from everything. Definitely do not stay in a dorm if you’re a solo traveller. I didn’t feel comfortable, no young people almost only older men. Couldn’t use toilet downstairs because there was no water. It was very cheap and you just get what you pay for. A bed and a place to take a shower. That’s it
Very cheap, kind staff.

AustraliaDepressing, awful. I had a booking for 5 nights and stayed just the first (without even sleeping) In the room there is no space at all for luggages. There were 3 bunk beds. Mine was the top bed at the end and if I left my luggage on the floor I’d literately block the way out of bed to the person at the bottom. No locker no nothing. Not even space to reach the socket that was hanging between the beds since they are so close. Of course not a light next to the bed. The location is good and the outdoor close to the river is nice but at night there was almost no lightning so kinda creepy. The bed doesn’t have a mattress it is literally a board. The linen old, brown, and they give you a blanket (but those like wool, and since you don’t have a sheet to cover you it feels disgusting) The bathroom, next to the “common space” didn’t have a door so you had to brush your teeth and everything with people around It was an awful sad place.
The outdoor was nice (that’s pretty much why I booked it), but I arrived at night and left the morning after…

ChinaOutside the hostel, there is some restaurants but not many street foods and night markets.
You could stay outside in the huts to enjoy the windy and sunshine and you could also spend your whole night sleeping in a tent with net next to the ping river. It provides a good vibe and I love the green view there. And there is a dog and two cats stuff there.

The host and the view were nice. We could see the river and the other side of the town. It was peaceful.

AustraliaIt’s a difficult place for the staff to keep clean (even though cleaning seems to be every couple of days) because most of the property is outdoors. And unfortunately other guests don’t always clean up after themselves perfectly in the showers. It would be nice if the bungalow curtains are replaced as perhaps they are a bit too old. However I feel bad even saying these things considering the accommodation fee is so low!
A true backpackers’ hostel. Really lovely vibes, I only met nice fellow travellers here. All the staff are so nice and warm, one woman offered to hang up my washing so I could go enjoy my plans for the day! The dog is so sweet (and doesn’t bark) and the 2 cats laze around. I loved the experience of being in the outdoor bungalows. What this hostel manages to achieve for the low fee it charges is quite special.
