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.).

AustraliaThe room we booked was not as we expected, and was very cramped and tiny and stuffy and bathroom even more so. Luckily they had a bigger, better room at a higher price available and upstairs and airy and we were happy with that.
Location was good if you didn't mind traffic. Close to all things. Had laundry service. Staff helped with luggage and dropped us at bus terminal.

United KingdomThe mattress is more solid than the walls If you had a late night noisy neighbour, you would be disturbed by them. There again it’s not that sort of hostel
The location was great, near the walking street, but not on a loud street. It is definitely a quiet hostel. The owners make up for lack of English fluency with friendliness. Really likeable people Everything worked though I didn’t try the aircon as Pai in January really doesn’t need it There was a breakfast of coffee, biscuits and banana

United StatesI had a wonderful stay at Happy in Pai! The location was fantastic—perfectly situated to explore Pai while still being a peaceful and relaxing retreat. The WiFi worked flawlessly, and the air conditioning kept the room cool and comfortable, even during the hottest parts of the day. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to ensure a pleasant experience. Their kindness and attention to detail truly stood out and made my stay memorable. That said, the bathroom could have been better. The toilet seat was loose, and the bathroom door didn’t close properly, which was a minor inconvenience. It also could have been a little cleaner, but since I wasn’t there long, it wasn’t a big issue. Overall, Happy in Pai offers a great location, a very fair price during high season, and a caring staff that makes you feel at home. Despite the minor bathroom issues, I would definitely recommend it and would happily stay here again!
I had an absolutely delightful stay at Happy in Pai! The location was fantastic—conveniently situated to explore everything Pai has to offer while still being a peaceful retreat. The WiFi worked perfectly, which was a huge plus for staying connected, and the air conditioning was solid, keeping the room cool and comfortable even on the hottest days. The real highlight, though, was the friendly and welcoming staff. They went out of their way to make me feel at home, always greeting me with a smile and offering assistance whenever needed. Their hospitality truly elevated the experience. For the price during high season, this stay was absolutely worth every penny. The value, comfort, and service exceeded my expectations. If you're visiting Pai and looking for a well-located, comfortable place to stay with excellent service, I highly recommend Happy in Pai!

United KingdomUnfortunately we were less than disappointed with our room, we have paid similar prices for far better accommodation whilst travelling SEA. The room was extremely run down with cobwebs and spiders in every corner and the smell in the room was awful. The room was also very small, we couldn’t open our suitcases on the floor fully.
The location of the property was great and the laundry service was exceptional, they wash, dry and give it back in the same day! The bed itself was comfortable with perfectly clean sheets. The shower also ran very hot which was nice.

IsraelThe bathroom was tiny, the shower head was right above the toilet so everything would get wet. The noise from the street was disturbing, so as the noise from the staff. They talked very loudly right outside my room and woke me up, no consideration at all. When I stayed at this place there was a huge power cut in Pai for two days, which is obviously out of their control, but when the power came back to most of the areas in town this hotel still didn’t have electricity. I asked to use the owners phone for a phone call because I had no internet during the power cut but she refused and laughed at my face saying I can go buy a local SIM card. I booked the room for 2 nights in advance but I took off as soon as I could. Wouldn’t recommend.
The location was great, just a few minutes walk from the walking street. The room wasn’t so big but perfect for a solo traveler. It felt clean.

New ZealandThe bathroom had barely been cleaned, mold and ants on the floor and walls. We were there for 2 nights and figured it wasn't worth kicking up a fuss about it at the time, but I wish I said something to the owners to make them aware. Just the overall cleanliness of the room was just non existent, basic wiping of flat surfaces hadn't been done. Holes in the mosquito window covers deeming them redundant. Noise coming from other guests with no consideration (obviously out of owners control).
Location was great as it was a short walking distance to the main streets. Able to park our bikes under cover from the rain. Quiet area, but noisy people in the rooms beside and above could be hears.
