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.).

NetherlandsThe dorm was clean at first glance, but not clean around the bed (next to the matras, above the matras from the top bunk). I had allergies, I only get in rooms not clean. Like mentioned: I could not have stayed here longer then one day. Downstairs there is a special smell.
I changed from the dorm to the private room. Price double, but I would not have stayed in the dorm. This rating is from the private room. The private room is very spacious and bright. Worth it. The use of the swimming pool next door is great.

AustraliaIt was in a really good location and the room was super spacious and nicely furnished. The couple who owns the place are so sweet and accomodating and the price was very good value for money. Plus the dorm rooms make it a great spot for backpackers!! I would definitely go back. Also you are allowed to use the rooftop pool at the hostel next door which is very nice and 100% a plus.

BrazilThey don’t have a shared kitchen so if you need that it would be an issue. But everything else was great to me.
Loved my stay there, the owners are so friendly and help you out with everything you need. The room was small for 4 was small, but I was sharing with only one more guest so it was fine because of that. It is in a great location and near the main two beaches in the area. The bathroom and room were clean and they also provided a great laundry service.

IrelandLoved the location, close to everything but tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac. The room was super comfortable , the bed was huge, and the fridge was stocked with lots of bottled water. The family who run this are so helpful and obviously love what they do , always a smile on their faces 😍 They organised my transfer to Phi phi at a fraction of the cost on any website, and the company were reliable.

United KingdomFacilities were above basic but are a little dated which require a bit of modernisation.
Property in fantastic location to Kata beach and all the bars and restaurants. Easy to get to and easy to find. The facilities are just above basic and are quite dated however this is a hostel more than a hotel. The bed was comfy and although basic was enough for me and my partner who were barely in the room. Staff are lovely and is a proper family run place and are more than happy to help you.

FranceIt was quiet, especially in comparison with beachfront and roadfront hotels, but i still recommend earplugs because the wind entering the alley makes a lot of noise at night.
Very nice managers, cheerful, helpful and polite. Clean and beautiful rooms. Comfortable beds. About 12-15 mins walk to the beach, which is no issue at all. Restaurants, pharmacy, 7/11, all nearby.

AustraliaThe only sour note was the private tour of Hong island that Pattama organised through Phairat Tours. Do NOT use this company. We left our Snorkel gear on the boat and within 10 minutes we realised and had the driver call the captain who confirmed that he had it and they would return it that night. When we didn’t receive it a second call was made and again they confirmed they had our snorkel equipment and they would return it the next morning. In the morning a third call was made and all of a sudden they didn’t have our snorkel equipment. Phairat Tours are untrustworthy, unethical and liars and should be avoided at all costs. This is not a reflection on Aonang Lodge but the tour company - Phairat Tours.
Pattama and Lawrence were great hosts and went out of their way to organise tours / transfers, scooter rental and made recommendations. The location is away from hustle and bustle so perfect for us but a quick tuk tuk or 20-30 minutes walk will get you there. Beautiful view of the limestone cliffs is an added bonus.
