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.).

United StatesThis did not effect us, but the check in counter closes around 5pm. I think there is a form of self check-in if no one is there so should be no problem.
The accommodation was nicely in the city so we were pleased with the accessibility to nearby places for food and coffee shops. The room itself was also very nice and clean and the beds comfy as well. The staff was nice though a bit short-spoken. We also liked that we were able to rent a motorbike at our accommodation as well making commuting in Chiang Rai fun and easy. They were also able to provide us with free water during our stay and had simple options for breakfast the next morning (also free of charge).

BulgariaThe location is fine during the day, but feels sketchy at night, we didn’t feel like going for a walk in the evening around there, but just grabbed something to eat from the nearby local market and went back to the hotel. We saw a rat on the street and quite a few big cockroaches on the sidewalk.
The place was very clean - we had to take off our shoes before going upstairs, which was good. The staff was very friendly and nice.

United StatesThe shared bathrooms weren't the cleanest, but they weren't super dirty either. Note that the check-in closes at 5pm - they have self check-in if necessary, but it's better to make it there before 5pm.
I only stayed one night here, but had a great time. The room was clean and had what I needed (AC/comfy bed/coat rack). The design was also super nice. Location and staff were awesome as well.

Tongsiam is a great place to stay because it is close to the clocktower and a cool part of Chiang Rai, but it is also just far enough away for the streets to be quiet at night. In addition, the hostel will have a few people there but never too many people -- this makes it a perfect place to relax, read/write, and sleep.
