Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

GermanyI stayed here for three nights and I really enjoyed myself here. If you are looking for a quiet peaceful place surrounded by beautiful nature and a breathtaking view on the mountain nearby for a very fair price, look no further: This is the place to stay! Nuk, the receptionist, Kat the owner and her partner all have a very warm heart and are willing to help you with every question you have. There is free water for filling up your bottle and I even was allowed to use the kitchen for myself. Here you just feel welcomed and at home <3

United KingdomThere were quite a few bugs around but that’s expected with the location. The shower head also came off but this appeared to be replaced by the following day.
Lovely hostel nearby the Main Street and bus station of Chiang Dao. The staff are very friendly and can organise a scooter rental for you, which makes it easy to get around to the different sites. The grounds of the hostel are so peaceful with many places to chill out, including the hammocks! The beds are really comfortable and they provide free towels.

United States of AmericaI could not share enough kind words about this place and its amazing staff. Not only are they kind and helpful in the ordinary course, when I got injured they made sure I got all the help I needed, including helping me with food, getting to the hospital, and everything in between. The accommodations are simple but very comfortable, and the hostel is very close to the things you need in Chiang Dao, including walking distance to 7-11 and some markets. Most importantly, these are these are some of the best people you could meet in Thailand - stay here!

CroatiaIt is.not easy to communicate. Although the main area and garden around the reception is incredibly charming and well designed and kept. rooms are in some kind of a backyard which is kinda ugly, almost industrial. Beds are incredibly hard. One of them in our room was almost as one was sleeping at a wooden board.
it is quiet place, just off the main road, but if you don't particularly care to be near the local market there are better options locationwise.

GermanyThe hostel itself is a work of art. Beautiful garden with hammocks and a bamboo house by the river. Kat was the best host you could imagine. Not only could I get a free upgrade to the most beautiful bamboo house, but she also organized my guided hike through the forest, the caves, a hot spring and up to a tent on the hill. She also showed me her favorite noodle restaurant and taught me how to ride a scooter. I stayed for a week in total and recommend this hostel to anyone - from solo backpacker to family holiday ❤️

Chiang Dao Hostel is like a home away from home. It was a great stay, this is why I extented my days there. The garden is like a little paradise. The manager speaks fluent english and she is very very kind and helpful. The hostel is a little walk away from the center, but I enjoyed little walks to get food etc. It is possible to walk/ hike in 90 minutes either to the hot Springs or the cave. I had a great stay and I will definitly come back. Thank you cat and nok🙏

United KingdomUnfortunately the youth next door spent an hour on the verandah talking carp on his phone at 11.00pm having woken me up at ten when he got home. D1ckheads are everywhere.
Very convenient for the bus station, a five minute walk. I booked the dorm but noticed chalet rooms as I walked in and requested an upgrade for further payment. This room had a comfortable bed, an outlook over the river, ensuite bathroom plus a/c. I didn't use the a/c in the end just the fan. Kat runs the place with her kid sister who hardly speaks any English. Both are very beautiful and pleasant Thai girls so obviously that's a good thing!👌😉 Kat gave me a lift to my next accommodation at a fair price!

Absolutely great value. You get a big room with bathroom and clean facilities for a small money. The receptionist is very friendly and the property is a real gem, if you want to stay in a peaceful surrounding for a few days. Nice green area with possibility to lay down in a hammock directly at the brook. Yes sure there are some insects around, but I think thats inavoidable when you stay in the countryside in northern Thailand. But most important, the room is well protected against mosquitoes with intact mosquitoe nets and all, so this is not a problem here.

SloveniaThe weather was extremely hot during our stay, so it was difficult to sleep without AC. Would be nice to have a shuttle service to the caves and the temple. Be carefull with packs of savage dogs when walking on the roads, especially in the evening.
The terrace with nice view and nice design of the resort. Good value for money.

Vastly surpassed my expectations. I had heard that Chiang Dao was a more off-the-beaten-path destination and I expected some odd, sketchier place, but it was actually pretty nice. Great garden to hang out in the morning, totally ok rooms, friendly and helpful staff working there.
