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 KingdomBag storage in the rooms would be great..
Perfect location, amazing and helpful staff. They remembered everyone staying there and made extra effort to help. Beds are private, spacious, and comfortable, and the social areas are best I've seen in Thailand. +1 for the puppy in reception.

Germanythe private room is extremely small—smaller than expected—and lacks enough space for two people to store their luggage, making the price feel too high. Additionally, it doesn’t offer the typical social atmosphere you’d expect from a hostel
The hostel is in a fantastic central location, just 1 minute from the beach, with super friendly staff, a large pool, and a welcoming reception area.

United KingdomThe only thing to try and improve was the overly frequent classic Thai island "stink" that came through the sinks / drains etc. I know there is only so much that can be done on such a small island though!
We had a great stay at Savage Hostel. The property is at the slightly quieter end of Sairee Beach, which suited us perfectly as it's still walking distance to many of the restaurants and bars available. The private rooms are small, but we were aware of this in advance. The staff kindly mentioned this to us when we arrived too. The air con in the room was very strong, and the showers were good too. The bed itself was super comfy as well! There is a pool on the roof which was a great place to hang out. Staff were really friendly too, we went on a nice hike at sunset one evening and they also assisted us with laundry too.

United KingdomLovely rooms. Comfy beds. Staff were nice. Events held every night. Mosquitos in the room were a bit of a nuisance so maybe some form of room repellent would have made the stay a 10/10! And I would say the rooms were unbearably hot at times (especially through the night). Apart from that, I loved my stay here and would recommend!!

GermanyI am very satisfied with my stay and highly recommend the place. I have only one remark, which I am aware is highly subjective: I felt there was a bit of discrepancy between the service levels offered by the desk personnel but nothing really upsetting. While one of the guys was very professional and welcoming and helpful whenever I needed help or a service, with the other one I felt frustrated whenever I had an interaction.
Really nice hostel and well maintained common areas. Social but respectful of sleeping time. I joined both the sunrise rooftop yoga and the adventure hike they organized and I enjoyed them very much. The location is also great to enjoy the beach, nice restaurants and depart to other areas of the island.

NorwayGood facilities and very clean. Perfect location. They have café at the hostel. For me it was not a social hostel, but that was fine. They host hiking trips which I think is really nice of them. I was to suppose to tell this directly to the staff when I checked out, but I forgot. My curtain didn’t work and also it was very hot in the room one night, so I couldn’t sleep. Didn’t know how to change the AC. But this is things that can be fixed easily, so not a big problem.

AustraliaThe showers are a little small and the rooms themselves are quite small (we stayed in a 6 person room)
Good spaces to hang out and meet people. The beds are like having your own little room to put your belongings and the bathrooms are nice and cleaned regularly. It is also in a great location, walking distance to all the clubs and bars but far enough you won't hear the music at night. The staff are also super friendly and helped us book taxis and directed us where to book our activities (e.g: scuba diving).
