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.).

ThailandNo public transport or grab possible at the location. Long way from the Nathorn pier but closer to the Lipa Noi pier. Advice taking the Raja ferry to the Lipa Noi pier. No toiletries provided. No shower gel, shampoo.
Chill Inn located on lipa noi beach. Excellent beach,clean calm waters. The beach cafe pretty good. The staff at the front desk,thank Akhrar and all the front desk staff for all the assistance. The room cleaning staff do a good job, little more attention to the wash rooms required. Balcony in the rooms is a plus.

PolandNo lights by the beds, and it was difficult to get out of the place (no grabbike all over tle island), no collective transport going through Lipa Noi, quite expensive taxi service).
How close to the beach it was, and that it was chill and relaxed all over. The staff was super friendly - superb service. Welcome ice tea ans cold towel, they walk you to your room with an umbrella over your head to protect from the sun. The room was clean and spacious. White, fresh bed lining, a towel was provided..

GermanyOne thing that could improve is the number of bathrooms. There's only three showers/toilets for the whole hostel and that's too little. You'll be waiting to take a shower in the "rush hour". I hope they will fix that in the future.
Really nice hostel for those seeking a more relaxed stay without the party. It's a really nice location with a nice and - first and foremost - clean beach. They have two houses where they have dorms and one is right at the beach and the other one just across the road. It's about 100m to the beach from the other house. There are some restaurants around if you wouldn't like to eat in their own restaurant. The beds are pretty big and the house itself has a quite luxurious feel to it. It's worth a visit if you need some tranquil time! You won't regret it.

BrazilI only miss privacy curtains on the beds.
The place is very clean and tidy. Toilets and bedrooms were always clean. I saw the housekeeper cleaning the bedroom and she did it very carefully. The place has a beach bar, where it is possible to get breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a beer for a very reasonable place. It's possible to have the meals admiring the beach. It's very quiet, perfect for relaxing. The beach is very calm and has clear water. It's not a negative point, only a consideration to new guests about the location. The place is a little far from busy areas, so to do anything outside it's necessary to take a taxi ou rent a motorbike. Without this it is almost impossible to go anywhere, because the island is big and places are far.

GermanyThe room was quite small and hat a lot of glass fronts. We had to draw the curtains all day to have privacy since the kitchen was close by. The bathrooms were spare and some were used by cafe guests as well. If you stay longer you will need a scooter since there is not a lot close by.
The staff was really friendly and helpful. There was water dripping from the AC and they immediately called someone to fix it. The hostel is directly at the beach and has a nice beach cafe and a little store attached. Very quiet and relaxed area.

SwitzerlandIn general, the hostel is located in a more rural area (next 7/11 is 1.7km away) and you need a motorbike to get around. Which isn’t bad, but just something to consider. I really missed the curtains on the bunk beds. During my stay of three nights, the floor in the dorm was not cleaned once. Therefore it was very sandy.
The hostel is at the beachfront which was really nice. Also the restaurant serves good food, I ate there one of the best red curries in Thailand.

Nice location, on the beach. People say there is nothing nearby, however there are about 7 good restaurants within walking distance. Best one was the Australian breakfast place and one called.Mama Thai.

JapanThe location is a bit on the more rural side so if you’re a city person this might not be the most ideal place. Showers and bathrooms could be kept cleaner. I experience being devoured bed bugs here, however, their staff were very kind and supportive. They understood my concerns, offered medication and were deeply apologetic. I kept saying it’s okay and they said “no it’s not” and validated my concerns. I can tell they are very understanding and will ensure this doesn’t happen in the future.
Property is right by the beach! Perfect for sunsets! The staff were really kind. They even spoke a bit of Japanese! They provided me the best methods to get around and made sure I was comfortable! They are very kind and understanding to all concerns.
