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.).

United KingdomOnly problem, was with the plumbing on one day it made it a little smelly in the room.
Staff went above and beyond and were lovely people form PoYe on reception to Jue, who cleaned the rooms and was lovely to chat to and happy to help, as well as Cola, who was definitely an affable and entertaining character! Food was very good too, all other bar and restaurant staff such as Dim, I think, were all lovely!

AustraliaUnfortunately one of the Reps at the hostel made me a bit uncomfortable on occasions. I think he was trying to be funny however he would yell and swear a lot during card games and it was to a point where it wasn’t funny or light hearted anymore. He continued after I told him it wasn’t funny too. The other rep however, (Louis I believe but I could be wrong) was AMAZING!! He was so friendly and approachable
The facilities were possibly the best I have seen over the last two months! The sleeping arrangement was AMAZING! Each bed had so much space and storage.

United KingdomPretty far away from the old town, where the night market and bars and restaurants are. LP in general is a pretty quiet city and so all the common areas and bar shut at 11.
Good facilities, beds were pretty comfortable and the bar was good for meeting people - I had breakfast there in the mornings.

United KingdomThe property is around 25 minute walk from the town, but it is an easy walk.
Great staff, good atmosphere, chilled during the day, but not too much party by night - although the events were good fun. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Recommended for a couple, a solo traveller or a group.

GermanyIf you had an upper bunk you had to find your way up to find the light switch. The music before 11 is like standing in the middle of a dancefloor. One shower and one toilet for 12 beds. The tuktuk from the slow boat won’t take you here! Get an extra from city center or walk 15-20min.
I had issues because I heard about MM in other city’s. But it was alright. The music stopped at 11 and I got good sleep. Spacious and comfy beds. Welcome drink included. They offer nice tours for a decent price.

The security guard, Song was amazing. He was by far the best staff member there, he told us everything we could do in the area and helped us sort out a tuktuk at 5am. He was so friendly.

United KingdomWe had a shocking experience with the front reception staff being really unhelpful and unprofessional when an incident happened with renting bikes. After reassuring us our passports would be kept at the property in a safe they handed over our passports and they were taken to a random location in which they tried to make us pay to get them back.
