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...).

GermanyIt was well maintained, there was a bit of an unpleasant smell from the plumbing of our bathroom but they changed the fan so that should be better now.
The hostel is located in a quieter area, 10 min walk to the pier, 7eleven and everything else you would need even closer. I liked the hammock outside a lot. I also made use of their laundry service (payed 300 THB for a weeks worth of laundry) which took about 30 hours. The beds were comfy and the staff cleans thoroughly. The staff was friendly and helpful.

I’m not usually a big admirer of hostel’s but Think Koh Tao has changed my opinion on them. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. The staff are the most friendly you will meet and will help you organise places to go/boats/bikes etc. Location is perfect as its only 10 minute walk from pier and it’s not loud at night so if you are like me and actually want a good nights sleep you will get plenty. Social area is huge with plenty of comfortable seating, pool table and electronic darts board.

ThailandI’ve stayed in a lot of hostels around Southeast Asia, but Think really stands out. The beds are comfy and with privacy curtains that fully close. Each bed has its own plug, USB charger and reading light, which is super convenient. I stayed in Dorm K, and it was so spacious that it never felt crowded, even when full. The bathroom had two toilets and two separate showers so I never had to wait. The location is also ideal. It’s close enough to the pier to walk, but far enough from the party scene to actually get some sleep. On top of it all, I got to sign up for some CrossFit classes next door which were super fun!

United Kingdom- bathroom floor in (iirc room I?) was filthy and appeared to never be cleaned during my stay. You could see mud and dirt crusted into the bathroom tiles which was not pleasant considering the fact they have a shoes-off policy and don’t provide sandals to change into - room did not smell pleasant. I think this is just because of the amount of people sleeping in it but could be improved by air freshener If the bathrooms were very clean, I’d have rated this property a 9.
- the staff were all very nice - the communal area is great - they staff are very helpful - comfortable beds

AustriaAir condition really cold at night, if all people have a hot shower after diving the humidity and heat stays quite long in the bathroomarea, althout there is (small) air exchanger (I think it's just working when the light is on, maybe that would something to improve)
Nice big rooms, so the luggage of all 8 people fitted easily, big lockers too, good curtains and light and power outlet at the bunkbeds, two toilets and two showers directly connected to the dorm, the owner(s) and the staff all were realy nice and helped with every question/problem, scooter rental directly there possible, crossfit classes availabel at the connected gym next door, location in walking distance but not in the centre/party area, so it's quiet at night, pier/diveshops 15min walk away, what I didn't mind

GermanyUnfortunately the bathrooms smell really bad and the showers don't drain properly. As it's a new hostel, there are still some things missing from my point of view. Would be lovely to have a space with comfy seating options to chill, options to dry beach clothes outside of the rooms, water dispenser to fill up your own drinking water bottle, more hooks in the bathrooms and around beds. I would love to come back in one or two years to see how the hostel evolved :)
Spacious rooms and comfy beds, everything's super new. Quite close to the pier, nice restaurants and 7 eleven around, chilled atmosphere. The best thing about the hostel is definitely the staff: you guys are amazing, thanks for everything!

ThailandThat I couldn’t stay longer, but I will be back!
This place is such a gem! Super chill vibes with the perfect mix of nature and comfort. The dorms are spacious, and the privacy curtains are a total win! The bathroom is really clean and convenient with everything you need. Plus, everyone here is super friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home. You’re only minutes from the pier, but it still feels like you’re tucked away in your own little island bubble. Perfect spot to recharge after adventuring around Koh Tao!

MexicoHowever the bathroom was my least favorite part, it’s very humid all the time and it’s hard to take a shower when there is no ventilation. On top of that you have to hold the shower cap to shower properly if not all your belongings get wet. Also WCs are not very clean in general so it’s not very comfortable to stay there as a girl in a mixed dorm. I also didn’t like that they only accept cash as payment for the stay and they don’t mention this on their site.
The beds were comfortable and had curtains so you had privacy to sleep.
