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.).

HungaryAlthough the staff were really nice and welcoming at the beginning, (I guess) as soon as it became clear I dont want to dive, as I just already did the day before, I felt ignored afterwards. I also asked for glasses to borrow for an hour to go snorkeling they said they dont have? Also the bathroom is quite run-down, the rooms are not the newest either. Furthermore, its not the best place to socialise, the common area was empty after 8pm whenever I checked.
The location is great and quiet

United KingdomCan't pay on card which was annoying. The lockers were tiny, as in same size as my foot tiny, (photo provided to show I'm not exaggerating 😂) luckily everyone in my dormitory was sound, but I can imagine that is not always the case. There is also no window, which is a shame. I am not sure that the pictures reflect how the dormitories look, but they are not bad, I just think the pictures might be outdated. Wasn't very social, I think it's because there wasn't really a social area for the hostel guest, except for the really nice diving shop, it looks like it was made over by Queer Guy. But seriously if I didn't already have my dive certs I would probably have got them here, they seem really nice and passionate about it, and safety, they even stopped one girl diving because of problems she was having with her ears, I thought that was really good.
Comfortable beds, quiet to sleep, towels and shower gel provided. All the staff were so nice and friendly. Dormitories were quite large, and ensuite. Free water refills, hot and cold. If you are here to dive, I think you can't go wrong with this hostel, it's probably the nicest dive shop dormitory in Koh Tao.

IrelandI didn’t love the rooms. They could be updated and cleaned better. Bathrooms were really not ok. I did have a major issue with my bed which was in fact immediately resolved although I chose to leave earlier than planned. While I thought I was getting my value for money with the diving course there are certainly better deals available locally.
The staff was just the best. Fantastic vibe, everyone is so helpful, accommodating and always there for you. The atmosphere was honestly 11/10

CanadaNot negative but the hostel veeeery heavily caters towards Spanish tourists. Location is not the best: it’s halfway between Sairee and the Pier but not super close to either.
Staff was very accommodating. Had an issue with withdrawing money and they allowed me to pay later. They offer diving packages that many seem to enjoy although I did find significantly cheaper elsewhere despite their guest promotion. Common areas seem like nice chill spots.
