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.).

SingaporeThe bathroom. Well, the set-up + fitting is model and functional but wall+door in between the room and bathroom are transparent glasses. Not only this property, but a few properties in Yunan have bathrooms with such interior design that my sister and myself :( . It is not the interior design, other than that it is 5 5-star bathroom.
The Location is great because it is within the heart of the old town but bear in mind that car drop off is not possible, you need to walk quite a distance with your luggage should you have a big case like us. However, the property keeper assisted us in transporting our luggage upon our arrival around 10 pm. I wish to stay more days like 5 nights instead of 2 nights.

Breakfast was amazing, with the best rice noodles I’ve ever had. The service was also great, with spot on restaurant recommendations and assistance with luggage. The house was a dream, tranquil in the centre of the old town. There was the character of the old building but also comfort from modern furnitures.

RomaniaIt is a small and very beautiful courtyard, perfect for us as we wanted to experience the old chinese style of living. It is also very comfortable, with a big shower and bath. The location is absolutely great because it is right in the middle of the ancient town, but on a quiet alley. The two ladies managing the place were very kind and helped us organize the transportation from and to train station/airport (as cars are not allowed till the accommodation) The breakfast is noodles soup or eggs, yogurt , coffee, fruit so it was enough for us.

Singapore1. Location It was inside old town, which got quite noisy in the evenings, but the moment you stepped in, it was like a different world - silent and calm. 2. Beautiful accommodation The inn is beautifully preserved with modern sensibilities. It was winter when we stayed and the room had floor heating, electric blankets and a portable heater. Even the curtains were remote controlled. We weren't too used to the pillows provided though! They were a little soft. 3. Hosts We are hosted by 2 ladies who shared with us details (very succinct details) on restaurants and attractions and were contactable on wechat any time. We appreciated having them advise us on all things Dali. 4. Community We became friends with the other guests that we were staying with and talking over breakfast and being at the courtyard after was such a joy. The space was really perfect for us to get away from our stressful lives and we are thankful we stayed here. 谢谢你们的关照!我们住的很舒服,民宿也充满着诗意. 有缘再见!😍

The location is great at the middle of the old town but it's in an alley so it's quiet but just a walk only 5 minutes to the middle of the old town. You don't have to drag your luggage to the hotel on the stone road, the staff will pick you up at the appointment spot outside the ancient wall with an electric bike for carrying the languages.
