How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Really clean, quiet and relaxed hostel to stay in before Khao Sok National Park tour. They arrange everything for you including tour and transfer back to next destination which was very handy!

I booked a room with a Mountain View which is what I got. However I wasn’t expecting there also to be a guy hitting a bong and sleeping in a tent in the communal balcony right outside my private one. I had more of a view of that than the mountain. My room also did not have a fridge.
I booked to join my friends on their travels, however I’m not a fan of the idea of shared dorms. This place gave me the ability to stay in the same place as my friends who were happy to stay in dorms and offer others a private room. The room itself was very nice and spacious. The staff were very lovely.

They need more receptionists. Every time we went to talk to someone, we had to wait 20-30mins. Also, we stayed for 2 nights, the first night was really good. The second we got unlucky with our room under the lobby which wasn't quiet.
Very nice hostel. The rooms have aircon which was a big plus for us due to only having a fan for the past 3 weeks. Nice and clean toilets. Friendly staff.

Only a small thing that I guess is expected with hostels but sometimes the toilets weren’t that clean.
Perfect location for the night before the Khao sok trip and great that everything can be arranged from there. It’s a small village but still has plenty of restaurants to choose from and a couple of mini marts!

Nothing much to comment on
Spacious 4 bedroom dorms with curtains, plenty of bathrooms, cold water refill, quick walk to main town. I went on 2d 1n floating bungalow tour to coral cave and we had a great guide and I thought the tour was as well organized as could be expected. I would recommend the tour to others but I’m sure there are plenty of others that are just as good

We got to the hostel and immediately the woman at the desk offered us her thoughts on which tour of Khao Sok Park we should book. The hostel offer two tours, where they take care of everything for you for a reasonable price - which is nice so you don’t have to worry about anything. Check in was meant to be for 2pm though we arrived at 10am. The receptionist was lovely and tried to make sure myself and other guests who were waiting for rooms could check in a early as they can. Although I am a solo traveler, I areived with another solo traveler I hd met at my last location. The lady at reception upgraded us to a private room which was really nice. They also offer breakfast in the morning before you go in the tour which is nice. Would definitely recommend

The shower wasn’t too good sprayed everywhere , there’s not much around other then small restaurants but it’s a perfect place to stop for a tour of Khao sok the next day
We booked for the floating bungalows and asked for an upgrade however once arrived at property I was told we wasn’t able for the upgrade however going out for dinner later a absolutely lovely lady ran after us and told us she fought for us to have an upgrade which was so lovely of her I’m guessing she was the owner and she was so kind
