Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Showers were amazing, room is comfy, amazing veiws of the woodland, is a climbing hostel but I'm not a climber and still had fun, meet some really down to earth people. It's slightly out the way of the "centre" however it's closer to the jungle parties so..

IrelandIt would be great if there was somewhere (indoors) to relax / eat / drink in the evening. The gym / cafe area closes at 8pm when the staff leave, so in the evening you can only sit outside where there are a lot of mosquitos and you can’t fully relax. If there was somewhere to hang out even until 10-11pm would be a huge improvement.
Really cool buildings, nice furniture, comfortable beds with curtains, nice design, REALLY GOOD storage solution (large lockers separate from the bedroom so you don’t have to worry about waking others when getting your stuff, and you don’t have to take your stuff up to your bed). Friendly staff, especially Ploi and Tony, but they were all great.

South KoreaThe location is so isolated and moreover no locker system. I was scared a lot. So I asked the bicycle chain locker which they have, then they gave it me. Shower tool is little bit special(?? ) and sometimes hot water doesn't come out even worse. Green switch(left one) is for hot water and red switch(right one) is for cool water. It was confused. There are many insects and bugs because of nature. Very big gecko is in the room and small gecko is in the closet locker as well.
Some workers are very kind especially for Mussy and Ploy. Thank you very much for both and Owner also. There is a very cute dog, her name is Panda. She is soooo adorable. air conditioning system is powerful.

DenmarkThe noise. I didn’t read the reviews ( stupid me ) before I booked. Think it would have been nice to get an automated message about this from the property before arriving, hence my not so positive review. If I was told by the property before arriving, I think my perception of this place would have been different,
It’s kinda clean, you feel like in the jungle.
