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.).

United KingdomThe only thing I could think was the bed wasn’t the best it was quite hard
Really nice hostel close to the pier so you don’t have to walk too far with your big back from the ferry :)) The staff knew everyone’s name which I thought was a nice touch.

South AfricaNo complaints at all.
The hostel is a real gem: well managed and well positioned for easy access from the mainland and for further exploration of the island. Its main selling proposition, however, is Golf - the supremely sociable owner.

GermanyI didn’t like having to leave after a week there :-(
The owner, Golf, is an absolute legend! Always in a good mood and willing to provide information regarding where to go, what to eat, etc. on the island. He is also the best fisherman in all of Thailand. The Hostel is is absolutely clean and cozy, with a nice atmosphere. I met some really great people here.

CanadaThe bed at most places are always hard in Thailand.
The owner is really nice. Privacy with own sliding door to each bed. Bathroom toilet and showers are separate. They keep it clean every day. Quick walk from the pier maybe like 5 mins but everything great. Would recommend this place.

TaiwanThe floors in the dorm and bathroom floor were quite dirty with sand. This is to be expected at a beach town, though! I recommend bringing indoor slippers.
The staff is great, the bed is very private, there is ample locker space, the location is super convenient, and the front patio area is smoker-friendly!

GermanyThe beds were too hard. The mattress was only like 2 cm thick and it felt like you were sleeping on the ground. Our backs were hurting after the first night. The trash cans in the toilet stalls could be bigger, so the toilet paper fits more easily.
The dorm beds had wooden doors, so it gave you more privacy than curtains.

GermanyThe host was really nice and helpful. He does everything so that you have a nice stay. The hostel is small, so it’s easy to connect with other backpackers, even though on the island are more couples and family’s. I had a really nice time and would always come back. It’s nice that you have some private space in the cabins.
