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 KingdomPrivate room was very small, but we didn’t mind that because there are plenty of sofas outside to chill on and lockers to leave your bags in if you want to.
Really comfy bed, amazing location, great communal areas to chill, lovely staff.

United KingdomIt felt really dark in the room sections, no windows in the rooms at all so you couldn’t tell what time of day it was at all. It was really hot in the communal areas, particularly in the toilets and locker rooms. Quite inconvenient not to have your bag with you and leaving it in the locker. The doors to the rooms also didn’t close easily which led to us having to get up and shut them when people would come in and out at 3/4am. Which was fine if you weren’t too fussed about a party vibe but it was a little annoying if you wanted to sleep.
The pool was amazing. The beds were really comfy. Great location to everything. The vibe was really nice here too.

GermanyThere are no windows in the shared rooms. Was fine for me but travellers should be aware of it.
Great hostel! + pool and bar on rooftop + comfortable beds with sockets, small safe and light + tasty food being served in their restaurant + clean showers and toilets (shampoo available) + staff is very friendly and helpful + 15 m to the beach; bars, restaurants and a 7/11 are very close as well Stayed here for two weeks in total and was very satisfied. Not that much of a party hostel so it's mostly quite during the night. The higher price probably keeps a certain type of guests away. Showers and toilets are being cleaned all day long. Some activities like hiking are being offered. Not the most social place I had been to.

South Koreathe toilets were always dirty, many times with no toilet paper, out of order or the doors wouldnt close properly.
I liked the facilities distribution, and the spacious lockers to keep our things. The bed area was comfortable and had enough space to keep your things inside organized, I also like the blinders for the bed bunks.

United KingdomDoors to dorms have an alarm if they are not closed properly. 12- 16 people not closing the door when they leave is torture if you are a light sleeper especially if you have a bed near the corridor you can hear the other 5 rooms alarms too. Privacy curtain is actually made of mesh so you can see through if you have your light on - there are no changing rooms only the small shower. Not many events hosted by the hostel so can be quite hard to meet people if travelling alone.
Beds comfy, mostly very friendly staff (won’t single out the one unfriendly person). Hot showers with shampoo and body wash, lockers with codes, pool looks amazing (didn’t get to use it because it rained my whole stay) but think Ibiza chill out vibes.

United KingdomIt got hot in the pod beds when the curtains were down. The pool was heavily chlorinated and made your skin feel weird and eyes sting. The separation between the dorm rooms and the locker room was annoying when you wanted to get your clothes.
The location was great right by sairee beach, the setup of the pool and bar area was really good. Cool chill spots on the second floor sofas.

Stayed in a 6 bed dorm with a group of 6, the beds are very comfortable and the AC was really good. The bunks are very private with blinds, personal lights, plugs and a safe. Rooms are small but the space inside the bunks are great.

ThailandToo noisy sometimes as guests may come back very late. The room lights were also automatic so sometimes it will get too bright if someone moves around late at night. Also the free towels provided used to be very clean but now many of them seemed to be stained
