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.).

South AfricaWifi in the hotel was poor. Both in the lobby and in our rooms. Fortunately, we had our own Chinese simcard and we just turned off the hotel wifi.
This must be the best location if you are visiting as a touristic Guilin. The hotel overlooks a Lake, which is always bustling with tourists and very vibey. The lake is lit up and is beautiful to walk around at night and watch locals and tourists enjoying all the facilities and the music and dancing. It is right around the corner from a very busy food pedestrian mall and restaurants, where you are certain to find a meal that will suit you. Our room was spacious and we chose the lake view - good move! Rooms and facilities are kept clean all the time. There is a western style breakfast for those not up to the challenge in the morning and we got by on that. Nothing to rave about but also, more than adequate for our needs. On the first night, we ate in the hotel restaurant, but you would do well to venture out into the street for some good food.

RussiaHad a sense that furniture and rooms environment were not renovated for a long time, and signs of years usage and different damages were visible. I had choose this hotel, because it has unique feature with human made waterfall on the building facade, but unfortunately it was broken:(
(1) Location is very close to all key locations; (2) very kind and english spoken staff on the reception desk; (3) there are several good restaurants near by hotel; (4) got in room some local soup with something like a lotos, berries and nuts, as a compliment from hotel - it was very nice👍🏻

Hong KongNo strict no smoking area. The cleaning liquid used should be clean.
The room is spacious and AC keeps us cooling in the midst of extreme heat. The location is excellent yet the hotel staff should try hard to implement no smoking policy. The hotel restaurant is just average.

Netherlands- the smoking area is directly at the entrance, which is not nice when you are waiting for a cab. - you had to wear a silly bathing cap for swimming, which you can buy there for 10 yuan. I don't really see the use of the caps (especially because they werent water proof), but a 5 star hotel should provide them complementary.
- the location is very convenient, nearby some of the main attractions of Guilin. - the hotel waterfall, which actually only runs for 15 minutes from 8.30pm every day at the back of the hotel, is fun to see (for all, also if you are not a guest); - the enormous hotel swimming pool with extra's (hot tub, sauna, steam bath, excellent view of Guilin) was a big plus, especially during the summer furnace. It was the reason we booked here, especially so our 8 year old could swim; - the room was great, good space, comfortable beds, clean, excellent view of Guilin; - the luxureous grand lobby, with a giant wooden painting of Guilin, was nice to see; - there is an in house booking office to book activities. It seemed the lady new good English, but my wife arranged the bookings afterwards in Chinese, so I can't confirm that.

United StatesThe only problem that I had was that there was so much cigarette smoke. Men smoking in the lobby, smoke in the hallway, and the room had a cigarette smell. It wouldn’t be a problem if it were just me but traveling with a baby made the stay a bit difficult.
The hotel is in a perfect location and is very easy to walk around. The staff was really helpful and so kind, they really made the stay worth it. The bathroom was large and had a really nice shower/ bath.

United Arab EmiratesNot much but if i had to say something that would be that you need to wear a swimming cap in the pool but i did not have one so i had to buy one. The toilet flush was not working properly.
Great view on the lake, superbe location next to major attraction and the pedestrian street. Rooms were comfy and warm. Extra bed was prepared in advance and we were also given two communicating room without having requested it. Every night a hot drink is given for each guest. Breakfast buffet is good with plenty of choice. On our day of departure they gave us a take away breakfast as we left the hotel before the opening of the restaurant. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Lijiang waterfall hotel.

United KingdomThey advertise on the board outside the Western Restaurant, that there is an à la carte breakfast as well as buffet. When we went for breakfast it was buffet only and we ended up having such a long discussion with them as we didn’t have the time or the stomach for a full buffet at 140 yen each. In the end we had a very cold a la carte breakfast and had to eat extremely quickly in order to make our car to the Yangshuo ferry. The menu should be removed if they’re not offering à la cart.
The location is amazing, right next to the night market and Moon and Sun pagodas. The concierge desk was excessively helpful and they have lovely staff. We arrived early and our room is ready so they let us check in.

MalaysiaThe staff were super rude, double standard and judgmental. So we booked two rooms, both SUPERIOR, but we have a discount from this app. My in laws arrived first and they mentioned my name for the booking. They gave them a standard room ( two small beds) without even looking at the details of my booking. When my in laws questioned them about the room, saying it should be two large beds, they sneered at my in laws saying “I’ve never heard of two large beds.” And then when my in laws mentioned about upgrading to a larger room with a fee, they said “oh EVERYTHING is fully booked since AGES ago”. When I arrived, they treated me nicely seeing I was a foreigner. I questioned them about the rooms, and they said you paid for RMB500++ which is the rate for a standard room. I said, check again. The staff got angry and said: Did you not read carefully? It was STANDARD, the one you said was SUPERIOR, did you not understand what’s the difference? for this amount of money you get standard room. They reassured me the rooms are fully booked. I showed them my booking details and the lady was shocked. She tried to call someone and made sure it was a mistake but then she saw it from her own system and gave up. I was pissed, of course. I said jokingly: for this you need to give me a free breakfast. She replied: out breakfasts was RMB120 and above, you wish you could have it for free. Yeap. Worst experience on booking.com EVER. SO, for the hotel part. Honestly speaking, it’s far from a five star rated hotel. Old interior and non smoking room doesn’t look like one at all. Bad overall experience. Nope.
Apart from the location, nothing else.

ChinaIt took 3 rooms to find one for us that didn't stink of smoke, for some reason the staff thought this was funny, and even said, yes, these are non-smoking rooms, but its hard to find customer who don't smoke here- grrr. The AC was non-existent, I'm glad we only booked for 1 night as it was a nightmare in the heat. We went to swim in the pool - the disinfectant foot pool was a swirl of disgusting greyish mush, we climbed around it. A kid in the pool coughed and spat in the water every few seconds and the staff didn't say a word - we got out and left after we counted 15 spits. This was after they made us buy swim hats - so they worry about a loose hair strand, but not a cup worth of spit out phlegm- disgusting!!
