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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewThe hosts were so very lovely. Extremely helpful with everything. From the big to the small. Great attention to detail. Offering free water every time They saw me, making me delicious coffee, yummy welcome drink and for my mum and dad who weren’t staying but just came to drop me off, helping communicate in Thai to organise some things. Lovely couple :) the room is great for the price, as big as one might need for a hostel type stay. If at the hostel I liked to sit down in the lounge area anyway. I love the decor of the polished cement and the Buddhist type paintings and photographs of animals. Very cool style to the place. The rooms and facilities were exceptionally cleaned to the level of a very good hotel. They even have a cupboard for clothes, a drying rack in the room, and a portable lamp. Those little touches show a lot of care and attention to detail. No bathroom in the rooms which is totally fine with me. They have many stalls with toilets, showers, and many sinks. Bathrooms were immaculately clean. The location is simply amazing, basically accross the road from the beach, pier, and so many restaurants. Right in the heart of the area, but off the main road so traffic noise is no issue. Perfect location. Great value and such a warm cozy place to stay. Highly recommend. Kup Kun Krub 🙏
Nothing. As far as hostels go, it can’t be beat.

Thank you for staying with us. We are a hostel, not a hotel. The comfort you receive may not be the same, but you will get a budget price. Our rooms are small and large, and each room has a reasonable and economical price. Those who are interested in booking a room can read all the details of each room before booking. As for the room that the customer chose, it was a small room with breakfast included in the price. In all of our rooms, we have informed you from the beginning that we do not have a bathroom and toilet in the room. The bathroom is shared, separated into male and female sides. Thank you again for giving us your opinion. 🙏🙏

Verified reviewWe had such a lovely stay at Captain Joe’s Hostel. It felt like we came home. The owners treat you like family and we’re so helpful with arranging our transport and suggesting activities for us to do- we are very much into ethical tourism and they are too. The beds were really comfortable and the whole space impeccably clean. The price was so reasonable for what you got. You are a few minutes walk to the night market, beach and lots of amazing restaurants. I would highly recommend this hostel! Thank you 🙏

Verified reviewOwner is very friendly, hospitable and generous. They are genuinely concerned for their guests. Room is of good size (maybe a little tight for 2 persons). There are adequate power outlets to recharge devices. Air con is super strong. Wifi connection is great. Common bathroom is very clean. Just a stone throw away from the beach. Tons of eateries and massage parlor around the property. Convenience stores and night market are a few minutes walk from the property.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe room was well equipped with a small table, shelf stand, closet. The bathrooms were organized and clean. The welcoming drinks were amazing 👏 the lemon honey! The hosts were so sweet and always looking out to help us out, sharing plates and utensils to eat, Joy helped us get a good deal on waterpark 600b per adult. If I was staying any longer id choose to live at Captian Joe's for a few months. Close to the night market, closet to the beach, amazing food options nearby. We stayed 4 nights, 3 adults and 2 babies. We had an amazing time. The beds were so comfy. Tight room, bit didnt feel small because it was designed well.
Nothing, everything was perfect.

Verified reviewThe value for money at Captain Joe's is outstanding. Delicious and healthy breakfast provided each morning. Beautiful owners who make you feel welcome. Everything is immaculately clean and well looked after. The hostel itself is located a 10 minute walk from the main Hua Hin beach, right next to the main shops and restaurants, but in a quiet part of town. The owners helped book a car back to Bangkok for my wife and I and provided recommendations on where to go around Hua Hin. The wildlife photography on the wall is also really beautiful and the bed is incredibly comfortable. We also did not have any noise wake us up during the night and could not hear other guests. Thank you Captain Joe!

Verified reviewGreat guesthouse, very clean, brilliant location close to everything but far enough away from main bar street to feel chilled. Joy is such a kind, warm hearted lady, always checking if you are ok and offering cold drinks when getting back from the heat! Bed was the comfiest of my 2 month trip in Thailand so far.

Verified reviewThe newly renovated building has new sheets to new light fittings. The hosts are amazing...so helpful and genuinely caring. The location is in the most interesting part of the city being close to the beach, restaurants and pier dining on weekends. It is however a quiet and safe area.
Don't expect a nautical theme because the new decor is more industrial. There is no gym or swimming pool but its a short stroll to the beach.

Thank you once again for such a wonderful stay. The place is spotless, so clean. They even have different washer machines for door mats, sheets , clothes...etc... Best of the best ! Not only that, every time you come back from heat they always welcome you back with fresh cold bottle water or freshly made juice daily. Couldnt ask for better accommodation.

Verified reviewWe've spent only one night in Captain Joe but we wish we could stay longer. The owner is amazing, taking care of her guests and their wellbeing. The room was quite spacious and very clean. The Internet connection was very good compared to other places we've been across Asia. When we arrived we got fresh cold water and a welcome drink (fresh pineapple juice). There is a restaurant / common area on the ground floor where you can chill. Shared bathrooms are big, very clean and well equipped. The owner also made us laundry at a very reasonable price. When we were checking out in the early morning, one of our yogurts fell on the ground and broke. The owner gave us 2 new yogurts from her own stack. Such a lovely gesture! If you're staying in Hua Hin don't hesitate and choose Captain Joe!
Thank you for staying with us.🙏🙏 We hope you have a wonderful trip. 🎉🥰🥳😘Take care.🤟🫶🤘🥰🙏🙏
