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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyThe hostel is very close to the pier so you can walk there. At the hostel you can rent a motorbike and the next 7 eleven is very close. The host was the sweetest person ever! He was very helpful and respectful at all times and even took me to the pier with his own bike. Thank you so much!

GermanyIts a very small, yet comfortable, clean and sweet hostel. The staff was very kind and made an effort to keep everything clean and nice. Also we could rent a bike there, which was completely fine and definitely necessary to get around the island. The Laem Had Beach is just around the corner, just as a 7-Eleven, a few restaurants and a tourist information.

This has been my favorite stay at a hostel. So much so that I stayed another night. Great vibe at the hostel- very chilled, but it was so easy to meet and talk to people. They had tours available that were great. The beds were comfy. The owner was helpful! All around great. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe on this island and in this hostel.

SwedenEverything was perfect!
This hostel was so lovely to stay at. I just wish all hostels were like that. The beds are comfortable and the common areas are perfect. There are tables and a small kitchen area at the entrance (with fridge, microwave, toaster, etc) and the owner always has such cosy and peaceful music on. At the back, there is a garden area with a hammock and plenty of places to hang up clothes, plus some tables and chairs where you can sit and relax. The owner is the sweetest person ever, he even offered to take us to the pier in his motorcycle. He did several trips to take all the guests who wanted help getting to the pier, which is so nice of him!

FranceGreat hostel. It's clean, well thought because you can find everything you need, the dormitories are locked and comfortable and especially its host who’s really helpful and caring! There is the port a few steps away and shops to rent bicycles or motorbike nearby. A little further away there is even a supermarket and local restaurants. The beach next door is beautiful at the end of the day too.

A hostel how it should be: nice dorms with capsule beds and a very helpful owner. Also you can rent a scooter at this hostel, to see the island. The island itself is really beautiful and not discovered by the big tourism crowds.

SwitzerlandA little fridge for storing food or some card games would be great. There’s not much to do around so it might be nice… other than that it was great!
The owner was really kind and went out of his way to help me. The island is pretty, but you should plan ahead what you really want to do and bring enough cash for everything. The hostel is pretty good and the bed was comfortable. Also the backyard has so much potential for being an oasis of peace. Hope it will be taken care of at some point and you’ll have very happy visitors. Thanks again!

The hostel was in a good location, close to the pier, beach, restaurants & a 7/11. The dorm was clean, with good air con, comfortable bed with a privacy curtain. Free tea & fruits. The owner was amazing, very friendly. I didn't ride a scooter and he happily took me the beach. Great stay!

United KingdomThe toilet was clean but wasn’t attached to the dorm you had to walk (within a sheltered area) but outside to go to the toilet. This meant that we couldn’t really go to the toilet at night as we didn’t want to get bitten by the mosquitoes.
Very enjoyable stay. The owner was lovely! offered to take us to the beach in the south of the island it was a 45min drive and he picked us up later that day. He also told us to message him on what’s app at anytime of the day if we needed anything ! The hostel is also a short walk to the most amazing beach Laem Had beach ! So that was great :) Water provided everyday! Hostel was comfortable and clean.
