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...).

GermanyGO GO GO HERE!!! Golf, best host ever. Comfy room, super clean, no problem with mixed dorm. Everyone has its own space to sleep, like a little capsule and a locker for storage. Showers, bath super clean and comfortable. Golf is just lovely host - A local, he know almost everything and helps you if you need something. If you don't go you'll miss something. The island is also just lovely.

United KingdomThe hostel is well located, walkable from the pier even with a very heavy backpack. It’s next to all the shops with plenty of bars and restaurants for the evenings. The main beach is just at the end of the street with loads of other lovely little beaches and bays that you can reach by scooter or walk if it’s not too hot. The vibe is very sociable without being a party hostel. The outside area makes it easy to meet people and gives you somewhere nice to sit with a book and a beer. The little snuggies/ rooms/ whatever that you sleep in are a generous size with enough space to sit up properly and room to keep some bits in there with you. The bathroom is clean and everything works perfectly with 4 showers and 3 toilets between a maximum of 10 people. Golf is THE BEST host on the planet, always went above and beyond to look after us. He’s so kind and generous and up for a laugh- he really made the trip for me. I planned to stay for 3 night but ended up extended my stay because it couldn’t get enough of the slow paced island life here. Ko Samet was never on my list to visit but after staying here it has a place in my heart and I would recommend it to anyone.

ItalyI It's a shame that we can't use the small kitchen behind the counter a little more easily.
Nice location. Friendly staff The atmosphere is very relaxed and quiet. The alcove is simple and very comfortable. The shower is functional, but I would have liked to have a shower gel/shampoo dispenser. I thank the staff for the padlock that I did not have with me

United KingdomI wasn't a huge fan of the shower situation, it's just shower curtains and isn't lockable cubicles like you'd get in most hostels. Totally personal preference but I would have preferred either lockable doors, or for the shower blocks to be split into male and female. Other than that everything was great!
Fun little set up and in the most excellent location in the middle of the main street. Loved the seating area out the front, a great spot to sit and watch the world go by with a book. The guy that runs it is so lovely and friendly!

ThailandThe signposting for the hostel could be a bit clearer but there was nothing at all to complain about for the price and I look forward to returning in a few weeks for NYE :-)
Location, location, location...! The port and several 7/11s are in walking distance and maybe more importantly, many beautiful beaches too, with restaurants and a food court nearby. I got a very warm welcome, comfortable sleeping pod and mattress that gave some privacy, plus the owner provided a padlock for a large locker to store my personal belongings. The shower and toilet facilities were clean and I never had to queue to use them. The air conditioning/fan system works very well and the hostel was cool day and night. The hostel is small and perfectly formed: only 10 guests can stay at one time which means it has a chilled vibe. There is a bar area where you can sit and bring your own drinks which is really convenient and there is also a book swap library. The owner speaks English fluently and is very friendly :-)

ThailandStayed here for the second time, love the place:))) Location is very good - close to the pier, to 7/11, to a beach, which is nice because I don't drive. Hostel is clean, I especially like that they have sliding wooden doors instead of usual curtains, so one can have more privacy. The best thing are the owners, who are very welcoming and helpful, always willing to assist. Will come back for sure:)))

Light and socket right next to the bed. The locker is big enough for a large backpack. The hostel is very social and they gave me great tips for a restaurant with vegetarian options.
