How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The staff were so helpful e.g. coming out with us to taxis they had booked to make sure the taxi driver knew exactly where we needed to go. The tour booking was made so easy. Staff spoke good English which really helped. They advised us on where to go to have an amazing Peking Opera experience. They really went the extra mile. The hotel was quiet. Room cleaning was very good with fresh bottled water every day. Hotel location was great for the subway.

Extremely helpful reception, even assisted to book our slots for the morning sunrise flag rising ceremony at TianAnMen Square. The reception can also lent you the Yikatung subway transit cards thru out your stay. Super nice value added service. Highly recommended place to stay, which is practically so nearby to 2 subway lines.

Location was very confusing to find so definitely use the map they provide.. room was a little dirty for the price paid I think.
Staff here were super helpful, even gave out metro cards with pre loaded money on them so you didn’t have to try buy a card. Great location with heaps of places to eat nearby.

Nothing really to complain about
The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. They loaned me a local transportation card for my use during my stay so I did not have to buy one myself. Also they let me use the property washing machine to wash my clothes for free. I can warmly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice place to stay close to the Forbidden City.

The internet connection on the second floor is not the best but it doesn't really matter at all because you can go to the first floor and stay in the lounge they have in the reception
The location is the best if you wanna meet different spots in Beijing on a Walking distance, the staff was superb friendly and kind; the hotel met and fulfilled my expectations

I stayed in two different rooms during my stay, because I booked it at my arrival and my departure. The first room was quite big, the second a bit smaller. I have to say that the second room smelled of cigarrettes and was quite noisy, since there was a chinese family with 2 or 3 kids enjoying themselves all over the hostel. This lack of respect and education is not the hostels fault, but maybe they could implement some basic rules of coexistence between westerners and locals.
The location is great. It has a metro station 5 minutes away (which in Beijing is really close). The reception personal was quite helpful.

The location is very good and well priced compared to others hotels in the area. The staff were very helpful and provided recommendations for places to go and eat that a traveller wouldn't go to. They also provided a metro card you could use. This was a big help when travelling round the city. Near 5 minutes walk from Dongsi station
