Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandThe only bad thing was the showers, that don’t have enough pressure (if it is something that would bother you).
The hostel is simple but very clean and cozy. The staff is also very kind and helpful. They allow you to take shower after the checkout which is great. Mostly chill people staying there which I liked it. Very good location closed to the Chalok beach. It was good to stay a few days away from the center of Koh Tao which can be very crowded.

Jesús was a legend. Such a nice, friendly and genuine person. Honestly, it's a shame he wasn't around more (because as the owner, he's busy with many things) because every time he was around the whole place lit up. Great atmosphere and super good place to get to know people. 12/10

United Kingdom- this is just my experience but sadly there was a snorer keeping me up all night, nothing that the hostel could control but it’s the reason I left early - not a very social hostel
- owners were so friendly and helpful, they refunded me no questions asked for the 2 nights I didn’t end up staying - quiet location away from the party scene, but still a lot of good places nearby and things to do - very affordable Breakfast included

IndonesiaNice, quiet and clean place. Good location in Chalok with everything you need around, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Chalok is far from the town centre if you are moving by foot. On a sooter is only 5 minutes away. The best of the place was the lady at the reception. Super nice and helpful. She is always there, I don't know when she rests, though 😬

AustriaI did receive towels with stains (fluorescent color and old blood), but they were exchanged without any issues. It might be a good idea to charge a fine if towels are returned in such a condition. It would also be great if there was a spot where guests could grab an extra blanket during the night if it gets cold. You can, of course, ask for one at the reception, but only when it’s open, so it’s important to ask in advance. The shower and toilet are in the same room, which I’m not a big fan of, but the space was large enough, as I’ve had much smaller combined shower-toilet rooms in other places. The water pressure in the first shower could be better, and the water heater in the second shower was out of order. So shower number 3 was best to wash my hair.
I had a lovely stay at this small hostel, which has only two 8-bed dorms, creating a peaceful and intimate atmosphere (no party vibes). The small number of people made it social and easy to connect with others. The beds were comfortable and equipped with chargers, personal lights, curtains, and a small shelf to store your essentials. There’s enough space between the beds, and the hostel is conveniently located close to the beach. Scooter rentals are just around the corner, and there are free water refills (hot and cold) and free instant coffee available. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the cozy common areas, complete with bean bags and tables, provided a nice spot to relax or enjoy a meal. The entire place was clean, and the showers and toilets are located outside the dorm room, which was up to my preference. Highly recommend!
