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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaThe only thing missing is some curtains on the bunks. I just hung my towel up, which worked, though.
Incredibly helpful and friendly family run hostel. Nong speaks excellent English and can help with the loop as well as onwards travel. The outside area, which has a big tree house, is nice to relax in too. Located right next to the river for catching the sunset and close to a bunch of food spots too.

United Statesit was our favorite place we stayed
The property is great for backpackers- air conditioned rooms, a communal kitchen, and a treehouse to hang out in. We ended up staying for four nights (2 before the loop and 2 after) bc we loved it so much, felt like a home for the first time in a while. It is very close to the Mekong river, which has a lot of good and cheap restaurants, and a very pretty place to watch the sunset. nong (the host) is sooo kind and helped us with everything and booked our bus for us. and the best part is she has two super sweet and cute dogs. lots of solo travelers who met and did the loop together also. couldn’t recommend more.

IrelandIf you don’t like dogs don’t stay here but it wasn’t a problem for us.
Nong was so lovely & helpful. She recommended a restaurant & also helped us to exchange money. She let us keep over bag there while we went on the loop & she helped us to book our bus to Pakse. We think that her shower outdoors was the best shower we had in South East Asia. Great to have a sink to wash out my water bottle etc & of course free coffee.

HungaryBike&bed really has everything you need before and after your bike trip! It is comfortable, clean, the AC works well, there is a kitchen, warm water, filtered drinkikg water, laundry (can be also done while you do the loop), you can leave your bag for the time of the motorbike trip. If you book your ticket with them, you can take a shower after the loop before you get on the bus. Great advice on where to eat in the area, and adorable dogs in the hostel! They also rent bikes, we already had it arranged with another place but the others renting at the hostel had good experiences. Fully recommended!

AustraliaConveniently located, super comfy rooms with cold ac and although there were no curtains in the dorms the solid windows keep the light out. Very lovely and helpful staff who make it possible to leave your bag while you do the loop and rent through them as well. Free drinking water and a convenient kitchenette with a fridge is very helpful.

AustraliaThe owner of the hostel, Nong, is so lovely and helpful. She went above and beyond to help me find things around the city, book things, and recommended places to eat etc. She is a very caring person, with a great sense of humour! The facilities at the hostel are good - the beds are comfortable, the showers are big and the AC works really well. The two hostel dogs are also very cute and well behaved. I will definitely come back if I am in Laos!

United KingdomGood hostel. The rooms are simple but have everything you need for a night before starting the Thakhek Loop. They let you leave your bag in the shed while you're on the loop, which is really helpful, and they also arranged my night bus to Pakse, which I appreciated. There are a few too many rules posted around - like getting a free shower after the loop if you book the bus through them, but still having to pay 10,000 kip (nothing really) for a towel. It all felt a bit over-managed. But overall, still recommended.

United StatesThe perfect place to stay before the loop. Nong and her family that run this place are so incredibly kind and helpful with recommendations for the loop (where to rent from, where to stay, what to see, etc). You can leave your bags here locked in a storage space while on the loop as well, a nice bonus. They were also able to help us with booking the bus out of town. The location is an easy 3 min walk to the water front. We stayed here a night before and a night after our loop and would recommended again! Also they have 2 super cute and friendly pet pups!!!
