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 KingdomI have zero complaints about this place.
This is my second time going back to Pop-In Ao Nang and when I go back to Ao Nang, I’ll probably stay there again. The staff are great, super friendly and helpful. They even remembered me from my last visit (probably because every day I had new questions). They’ll arrange any trip or transfer you want/need to do and the prices are better than getting it from the street. The rooms are clean and cool, even without the air con on. Beds are comfy, you get a towel when you arrive. I

United KingdomNo laundry service, we used the lady across the road who was good. No matter what temperature we put the shower on, the water barely reached lukewarm.
Really comfortable, super clean, even though we didn’t have our room made up each day they left us water to have. Staff were lovely and helpful.

NetherlandsThe place could really use a big clean up. The room was okay, but the other parts of the building were very smelly. Not very comfortable to walk through every time.
The place is nice and the room was nice. Location was good for us, you don’t have the noise from the bars and still walking distance to the beach.

CanadaI didn’t like the beds. They are WAY too hard. The set-up of the place you can hear a lot of noise from The shared showers/washroom space. The place says it super social but it’s not. Everyone really kept to themselves which was unfortunate
I liked that there were multiple options for showers you never had to wait. The location was great and staff were super helpful.

United KingdomI didn't like how high the top bunk was, I couldn't reach up there at all so it was hard to get anything up and down. The joint space down the bottom isnt really used, it smells a touch down there. Beds are hard but that is to be expected in SE Asia. The doona I got had blood splats on it where it looks like it didnt come out in the wash, just make sure you always travel with a slip sheet.
Really interesting set up of a hostel, you walk through an open bathroom on each level to get to the rooms. The rooms were big, aircon and a big cage draw under the beds that can fit your pack and anything else. A shelf is next to your bunk for your phone and things you need access too, and there is also a curtain for added privacy. As for location - you wouldn't want to be any further out, you are still JUST in town close to food and markets, but its about a 10-15 min walk down to Ao Nang beach where you can then get onward travel to Railay or Tonsai (Tonsai is better in my opinion). As for the night market, you are about a 45 min walk away from that!!

CanadaThe lobby had a weird smell that made it unenjoyable to walk downstairs/ spend time in main area. Not enough of a deterring factor to not stay but hoping it can be fixed?
We booked a double room and it was massive, with good air conditioning and a well appointed bathroom. Cleaning services were really good. Location was also good, central area.

excellent stay for the price! room was cleaned everyday and they provided water wich I love. I just didn't like the cleanliness of the bathroom but not for how its clean but how it's built. It makes water splash everywhere. Overall I had a nice and decent stay.

I loved everything. The people, the location (10 minutes from the beach), the fact that you have a pretty big storage room under every bed that you can lock, the shared space outside and and and... I would definitely come back, all this Luxus for such a small price!!

Loved the location. The staff were amazing, we were hit with food poisoning just after booking a tour and managed to get fully refunded which we didn't expect but we really appreciated.
