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.).

Brunei DarussalamWe miscalculated or were terribly unaware of the complimentary drinks in the fridge, so my children had the missed chance to have them during our stay.😋😬
Access to the family-oriented facilities in one compound - bowling, gym and billiard pool as well as the nature walk along the beach shores. The buggy ride was a fun experience and efficient way for hotel guests to move around the hotel compounds.

United KingdomAll was good and no complaints for our stay.
Excellent customer service and a beautiful hotel. This is a resort which has lots of facilities such as the country club, cinema, golf course, restaurant / cafe and boutique shops. This property is huge and you can get free buggy rides to various locations at the resort. Food prices are very high (up to double or more) considering what the equivalent would be in restaurants / eateries outside the resort. If you do not mind the price and would prefer dining in luxury with amazing views then it’s the best place in Brunei to experience it. Location wise it was great for us because we needed to be close to the hospital which was the main reason for staying. However if your aim is more for sight seeing it is further away from the town centre and no shops are walking distance. The closest outdoor food courts are in Jerudong Park (theme park) and the price of foods here are a lot cheaper. There is also a restaurant and McDonalds at Jerudong Park if you are looking for a change. You will need to sort your own transport arrangements. The concierge can help book the taxi which is less than $15 Brunei dollars to Jerudong Park. Airport transport is $40. There is an app called dart which is an option for cheaper transport similar to Uber.

United Arab EmiratesThe F&B is a disappointment overall. Wherever you go or eat at anytime of the day, the food is 5/10…. The menu sells dreams and when food comes it is a joke. Buffett disappointing as well with lots of asian (chinese/ malay) options but far away to please a western. The Empire is still the best hotel of Bandar by far… the overall hospitality industry in Brunei that is far away from international standards in terms of F&B and service.
Pool is magnifique! Scenery fantastic! Pity that beach is not suitable for swimming. SPA is excellent! People has a great attitude to serve, very humble.

I have now stayed at the Empire three times. It is an amazing hotel. The staff are so friendly and courteous. The location is outstanding, right on the coast and in very spacious grounds. There is a fantastic gym and spac facility. And the swimming pools are amazing. The food is outstanding. Breakfast is a choice of everything! And the restaurant is great with loads of choice. I will absolutely be staying again!

The finish is of high quality, the gardens are well maintained. The best was the huge bed and the duvets! Still dreaming about them! The pick up from the airport had a personal touch which was above our expectations. Will definitely come back again!

SingaporeVery pricey (expensive). Could have options with complimentary breakfast included. Could have some cafes or shops in the seaview building.
I was mesmerised by the hotel interior design. Very grand and beautiful. The staff were polite. I like my room. It's facing the sea. I like the bathtub. The bed was cosy. Halal food. They have souvenir shops inside the hotel. We can kayak around the swimming pool. Free for first 30 minutes. That's good.
