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.).

MalaysiaThis hotel is located near to the ancient town within 3 minutes walking distance . The lobby is decorated with beautiful plants n Chinese cultural style . Feel peaceful when you step in to the hotel. The owner of the hotel is very friendly and helpful . Arrange pick up n drop off transport service too. The hotel doesn’t provide breakfast for their guest ( As there are many breakfast variety nearby the hotel ). When she knew we are vegetarian , she offers to cook vegetarian breakfast just for us , we feel so grateful for her kindness . Value for money with the good location and nice ambiance of the hotel and with clean n comfortable room.

United StatesNot much of a breakfast option, but that didn't matter very much given convenient location to old town and market. But could provide a bit more with respect to coffee/tea in the morning.
Great location tucked away in a quiet location but very convenient to the old town and and farmers market. Manager's english was decent and he provided some guidance on our planned visit to Cangshan Mountain.

The owners were extremely approachable and helpful in guiding and providing recommendations for travels in Dali. Room was clean, comfortable and well-equipped with no complaints. The place is very convenient with eateries around the inn. The interior of the inn is also calming and tranquil with numerous common areas for you to relax. It is also within walking distance from a few attractions such as the Three Pagoda and Dali Ancient Town.

SingaporeWe had such an enjoyable stay here. Location was good - it’s in a quiet area off the main street, but still convenient, within walking distance from the old town. The place was very clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated, which gave off very relaxing, calm vibes. But above all, we really appreciate the friendliness and kindness of the staff, who gave us excellent recommendations on what to do in Dali, including places that were less touristy. They helped us make transport arrangements and put us in touch with an excellent local guide for a day trip. All of this made our trip so much more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you so much for a perfect stay :)

AustraliaOur room is on second floor, so we need to carry our luggage up the stairs. Hot and Cold water tap is the other way around.
Inn is located just beside Dali Ancient Town, Lee the receptionist has been very friendly and helpful on recommending us on how to get around and which places to visit. Room is small, but relatively clean, common area is nicely decorated and well kept, it's nice to just sit down, drink tea and rest your legs after a day's trip.

SingaporeReview from my girlfriend, I couldn't go : The Yanyuan Mountain Retreat is amazing! We had wonderful experience here. Good location, 3 minutes walking to Dali old city. Pretty decoration of Elegant ink painting style, very peaceful environment, quiet and clean. We stayed in the family room, big enough for 3 people, plenty of space. Comfortable bedding with heated blankets, it doesn't feel cold even in winter, we slept very well. The staff are very patient and responsive. Complimentary bottled water will be provided. For environmental reasons, disposable toothbrushes will not be provided. Mr. Lee is very kind and we become friends, when we left he gave us flower cakes as gifts. And he also recommended us amazing restaurants with delicious dishes and affordable price. You will have a wonderful time here!

SingaporeIt is about 20 min walk to the ancient town, which is slightly further than expected.
The hotel emits a very calm and peaceful vibe. It is so well decorated that you feel like you wanna spend more time in the hotel and soaking into the atmosphere. The room is huge and well equipped. Most importantly, the staff has been amazing! Over 3 nights stay, I felt like i have already made friends with them. They gave honest reviews of the attractions in Dali, introduced to you spots off the unbeaten path and local trustworthy drivers. They sure made Dali a better place than it already has.
