Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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 only, very minor, issue I have is that the Hostel is a 20/25 minute walk into the centre of Hua Hua. You can a green Songtheaw open bus (every 10 - 15 minutes - you have to flag it down) on the main road for 15B, which takes 5 or 6 minutes, or a TukTuk for 100B. The Hostel, however, is just across the road from the beach - a 5 minute walk. The staff are very helpful - apart from one male member of the team who lets the side down with his abrupt, 'I'm in charge' attitude. which is a shame. Some customer service training needed.
This simple, pleasant Hostel is an excellent, reasonably priced option for travellers. The rooms are generous, the whole building is very clean and quiet and the older couple who own the Hostel are very attentive (and have good English). This is my second stay at the Sunshine Hostel, both of which have been very satisfactory. Lots of eateries very close by and the enormous Market Village Mall is a 5 minute walk away. Thoroughly recommended.

It's a five story building with no elevator, and the wifi login setup is a little irksome. Minor points considering how splendid this place is!
Huge room, super clean, excellent bed, and big balcony. Everything beautifully maintained, and the owners are wonderful people. Zero street noise and I never heard any noise from other guests. If this place had an elevator and a 24 hour front desk, it would be a solid 3 star hotel.

A really lovely little Hotel, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. I arrived via train after midnight and the check-in went smoothly. Again when I was checking out they stored my luggage till evening. When I was picking up my bag they offered me usage of the shower as I was going for the night train. They also provided a towel for me to use. I will definitely use their services when I'm in Hua Hin!

Nothing to dislike.
Everything was excellent. The room was big with private bath and balcony. Ii was very clean, serviced every day, and very quiet. AC and hot water were excellent. The location was great, near two big shopping malls, many restaurants and only a short walk to the beach (10 or 15 minutes). I would definitely stay here again.

It would be churlish to point out anything amiss (there would only be very, very minor instances, if any, as the Sunshine Hotel as it is a very good, comfortable, well designed, quiet residence.
The Hotel is very well organised by ghost staff (you rarely see them, even at reception) and everything is in it's place and provided to a good standard and quality. The rooms are generous in size. the kerb appeal of the Hotel doesn't inspire, but once inside, the building is well appointed, clean and everything works as expected. The stairs (my room was on the 4th floor) provided a much needed daily workout, free of cost.

The internet connection seemed to not be working properly but we used our phones so we didn't investigate the availability of a good WI Fi connection.
We had a very spacious room on the fourth floor, a nice balcony with a table and two chairs. The room and the entire hotel are super clean, the location is great close to coffee places and shops. Great value for money!
