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 KingdomStaff hard to find but very helpful when they were there. Aircon wasn’t great in the private twin room.
Great place to stay if you’re doing the loop - can leave big bags there. Good sized rooms and location. Pool great, especially after the loop!

United KingdomWe had an issue with booking an overnight bus through the hostel (it didn’t get booked and then the owner told us 30 mins before we were being picked up that it was very difficult to get a bus because of the new year). If we had known this earlier we could’ve got a bus during the day, but instead we almost missed connecting buses into Thailand! The owner was very chill about the whole thing and not very helpful.
Room was good and clean. Good for the night before starting the thakhek loop. We sorted bike rental through them & then returned after we finished the loop.

United KingdomThe hostel had really good aircon and beds had sheets hanging in between so you varnt see the next person. The owner was so helpful with organising the loop, getting a rental scooter and telling me where to stay. He also booked the night bus to Vientiane for me and then drove and waited with me at the bus stop till the bus came.

United KingdomNot a huge amount of chill out spaces.
Great beds. Average pool, didn’t use but it looked good. The breakfast was great! They did fried toast instead of regular toast which was a nice touch. The coffee was really good! 25,000 Kip for a cappuccino. They’re very helpful with motorbike hire for the thaklet loop. Owners really friendly and good English speakers. They offer free shower after finishing the loop.

IrelandThere is no lock on the front door or dormitory door so someone could easily come in at night.
The beds are comfortable and quite spacious. The air conditioning works perfectly. Located a 5 minute walk from the main square and night market. The owner is very helpful. He organises bus transfers, bike rentals and even let me try some of his dinner. He truly provides a personal touch. Lovely pool and garden area out the back to relax in.
