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 KingdomLocation was okay but not the best. Lockers were very hard to get into as when opened there was little room between the doors and beds
Nice good size double bed, AC worked really well and the facilities were nice and modern. Theres a large communal area with pool table, pinball and sofas to relax on although there’s no AC or fans so it was quite hot there

United KingdomRIDICULOUS amount of mosquitoes. Bathrooms lacked cleanliness, most of the time drains blocked and flooding water.
Good location, away from the noisy main walking street. Nice and friendly staff. Got to change your towel every 48 hours which was nice when staying for longer periods of time. Water filter to refill bottles. Good lockers for bags and personal belongings.

United KingdomIf you’re looking for a social hostel it’s not very social but the island is very chilled anyway!
Really lovely stay at the Chic Lipe, the most affordable and reasonable accommodation for backpackers. In a good location, few minutes from the walking street, quiet in the evenings. 20 minute walk from North Point Beach, doesn’t feel far at all. There is a restaurant and cafe onsite, a large common area with lots of books. Rooms are modern and extremely clean. AC is on all day keeping the room cool. Bathrooms are also really clean, lots of showers and toilets so never had to wait. Relatively quiet hostel.

The Chic Lipe is surely a well designed hostel, providing its guests of many services to enjoy a pleasant stay in Koh Lipe. The island is small, so the hostel is few minutes away from the beach, the shops and restaurants. The double beds were comfortable and big.

I like the whole concept of this hostel. The receptionists were very helpful, approachable and attentive to your needs. My USB plug didn't work, and I told one of the receptionists, and they got it fixed immediately the next day. They also helped to book me a taxi. Thank you!

United KingdomBathrooms could have been cleaner
We stayed in a dorm room for 12, but with 6 double beds. The bed was very comfy and spacious. The lockers were huge. Staff were friendly, Wi-Fi worked well! Only down side was the bathrooms, they definitely could have been cleaner, I think they just need a proper deep clean! But aside from that everything was great. We didn’t eat here so can’t comment. We stayed 5 nights and it was very good value for money, as Koh Lipe isn’t the cheapest place to stay!

CanadaIn our dorm room the beds were right beside each other so it was hard to get any kind of separation. Also, the bathrooms weren’t the cleanest but were fine. Last thing is the soap in the shower smells rotten and absolutely disgusting. Idk what scent it is but I would stay far away.
Beautiful property right off walking street. Seriously gorgeous, all wood furnishings and very comfortable. Lounge area was great and there was refillable water. Beds were also comfortable and had good curtains and strong AC.
