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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

This is the most nice hotel I ever visited. Even come back on my way home getting though the Bangkok. All rooms are equipped in different way. And they are really quiet, you file like at home because of different small staff around the room. Also I hade very tasty breakfast every morning) even I can choose the kind of meal. Ohh it is nice tradition in this hotel that every morning they put different traditional things on your table and you scan qr code and read about it. I highly recommend to choose this hotel for your stay

GermanyWe really enjoyed our stay at the Focal Local. For our first experience in Bangok we couldn't have imagined a better place to stay. We felt very safe and comfortable. The Service was really nice, very helpful and friendly. Also the Thai Breakfast was very delicious and it was no problem at all to prepare it spontaneously in vegetarian as well. They also give you some nice recommendations around the area and some helpful Tipps for you stay in Bangok. If you don't want to stay in the right touristic center of Bangok, we also can recommend the Focal Local since it is on the other side of the river. You have the opportunity to stay in a more calm area and have some really nice opportunities for the Thai Flair. But at the same time you're quickly on the other side of the river.Also the nightmarket around the corner was a nice experience. For vegetarians and vegans there is also a very delicious restaurant around 10 min away by food from the hotel. If one day we travel back to Bangok we will definitely stay again at the Focal Local! Thank you 🙏

United KingdomA very comfortable night in this quiet area of Bangkok. The free Tuk tuk to the station and ferry was really helpful. The staff were lovely, and as we had a very late flight home, they stored our bags for the day and were able to have a shower before heading to the airport.

AustriaIt is conveniently located close to the river, the sky train and the icon siam. There is a complimentary Tuk Tuk service which we appreciated a lot. You can go to either to the BTS station or the ferry for saphan taksin. Also the icon siam is only a short ride. Walking to the BTS is also a good option as there are many local vendors, food stalls and plenty of street food around. On weekends I recommend checking out the grandmom’s house just around the corner for coffee and delicious thai sweets as well as food.

CanadaWe loved everything. The hospitality at Focal Local was unlike anywhere we’ve been,the breakfast each day was phenomenal with so much intention put into each dish we always ordered the Thai breakfast and were impressed each day. Each area of the B&B was spotless, the lobby and breakfast area was very clean. The room was spotless, the bed was typical Thai style hard but still comfortable, and the bathroom was lovely, always hot water and great water pressure. The location was perfect for us, there’s a local market right around the corners, many 7/11s, Thai massage, and the BTS and pier is 15 minutes walking but the tuk tuk service they offer was another amazing addition for those super hot days to be dropped off at either location. When we first arrived the staff gave us a map of the area and told us how to get where, they gave us food options in the area and they even have DVDs you can borrow for the night if you just want to stay in. Just like all places in Bangkok it can be noisy at night with cars driving by, I always bring ear plugs so I’m unbothered but just to keep in mind for anywhere you stay! We can’t say enough good things about Focal Local. Truly a hidden gem!!!

Again the staff were great. Upon arrival, you will receive all information about the surroundings, including a map. The location is great if you want to live in a less touristy area and at the same time be in great access to any transportation. I highly recommend and look forward to the next time...
