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 reviewThis hostel was so stunning, it has the friendliest staff and a cat that hangs out in the communal area in the evenings which was fun to come home to. They also had snorkels and towels and wet bags you could borrow, free ponchos, and breakfast (toast, tea, coffee, bananas, biscuits and hot chocolate).
Bit of a walk up a hill to get there but definitely worth it, I would stay here again

Verified reviewThe View, amazing. Room is very spacious. You get a fresh towel every day, fresh bedsheets every other day. I was sick and they helped me getting my backpack to the Harbour. So nice.
First contact through mail was a little difficult. Just misunderstanding I think. The walk up the hill is not long, but heavy with backpack, but you do it for the View. You hear the music from the beach louder then in the city.

Verified reviewFirst of all - the view really was amazing!!! Dorms were so big with lots of floor space. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. I left my phone behind one night and they kept it safe. Laundry done on site and was quicker than we thought. The staff clean the rooms every morning and make the beds AND give fresh towels. There’s free snacks, water and a fridge to use as well as snorkels if you want them.
The walk up to it is tough in the heat and with a bag. But genuinely worth it for the view and amazing hospitality. Can’t fault it.

Verified reviewThe name says it all: the VIEW 😍 It's fantastic to get such a beautiful view for this kind of price! The cleanliness is on top! They even change beddings and towels every day!
The steep part to walk up with luggage is challenging, but it's all worth it :) The music coming from the beach at night ruins the peaceful vibes, but it's Phi Phi

Verified reviewIt’s in the name- it has an amazing view. It’s very clean and a lot quieter than regular hostels. Rooms were nice and had two bathrooms between ten beds.
The walk up the steep hill is quite tough, especially when carrying big bags. Could still hear the loud music from the beach until 2.30am (this isn’t the hostels fault though).

Verified reviewMust be the hostel with the best view in Koh Phi Phi, it's simply awesome. Common area is kind of nice outside with the terrace. The washing service was great and fast for the normal street price. Took just a few hours. Staff super friendly. Everything very clean. Nice stairs into the upper bed. Awesome and quiet, although you could hear some music from the beach parties, but that's not the hostels fault of course
A bit more pricy than other hostels, but still worth it! And yes, you have to walk up a hill in the end, but for a nice view you always have to walk uphill. I don't get the complaints about it here.
