Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

The property was clean, well maintained, amazing pool, and aircon that actually worked. The property was well situated between the full moon party and the pier in a quiet neighborhood with good food and ventures right nearby! The lady and gentleman that ran the property were super nice, knowledgeable, and helpful with anything I needed!

New ZealandThat I had to leave.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They had a good knowledge of local activities/things to book. They went above and beyond in order to make sure our room was comfortable (supplied an extra fan). The room and general area was very tidy, and (although this is down to luck) the hostel attracted a great crowd - a wide range of friendly people in their 20s.

BrazilEverything was amazing. I think one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in Thailand.
The hostel was super clean, room was big and ventilated. The staff were so nice, always willing to help us. The pool was also very clean. The day of full moon they made us a cute little dinner. Also, breakfast included. Close to the beach and about 20min drive from where the Full Moon party was.

United StatesThe cleaning crew would come in and clean regardless of if you were in the room or not. Also, just take note the walls are very thin so you can very clearly hear the music the other guests are playing up until quiet hour.
Great location and the facilities were very nice. The staff were so nice and extremely helpful whenever we needed anything or had questions. It was a very social hostel and everyone was really fun.

Germanyeverything about this hostel was fantastic - the location is great, not too far away from the happening but far away enough to relax if you want to and super close to a small night market, the dorms are spacious and modern, beds super comfortable & big, the bathrooms are nice and clean, the pool is great and the staff went above and beyond to make the stay as pleasant as possible for us! Wish I could’ve stayed longer, but if I ever come back to Koh Pha-ngan, this is where I’m staying!

United KingdomI stayed here for 3 nights over the full moon party in a 10 bed mixed dorm. The bed was comfortable and there were curtains for some privacy which was a nice addition. Each bed had its own reading light and plug socket. The bathroom facilities were good and were kept very clean throughout. The hostel was very social and it was easy to meet people. I asked the hostel about renting a scooter and they took me to a place down the road, which was well priced, kindly gave me a lesson in using it (I'd never driven a scooter before) and I had no problems returning the bike at the end of my stay. In terms of location, The Night Market, a small area with permanent food stands, was very close and had a great range of food. There were also some other cafes and restaurants, as well as two 7 elevenses nearby. It is about a 15 minute drive from Haad Rin, where the full moon party is, but this wasn't a problem as the hostel provided a shuttle for 100 baht each, cheaper than the taxis which were all priced at 150 baht. The staff were really helpful and friendly and a basic breakfast was included with my stay (despite booking.com showing it was not)!
