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.).

We arrived already dark. Difficult to find front door reception. Luckily a boy happily walk with us to show where the door is. It looks like a block of housing apartment. The signboard is in Russian. Should put that signboard in Booking so that we can know it is the entrance. Room so small for two person. No bottled drink. No water dispenser No kettle in room
Near to Train station Free wifi Friendly reception

The shared shower has multiple stalls without curtains. Luckily I was the only one in my room and the only one taking a shower. I was able to lock the door but I am not sure if you can if there are other people staying. They charge you a small fee for luggage storage. No lockers in the rooms either.
Good location close to the train station and a short walk to the center of town. No kitchen available but there is a mini fridge in the room and a microwave in the lobby.

Staying for 3 nights and they dont accept full payment for 3 nights (need to pay everyday for whatsoever reason which is annoying because when we pay late we were treated as if we are trying to escape payment)…why cant they just accept the whole lump sum payment like other establishment?

It was terribly cold outside at night and the room was not exactly the warmest.
It's right next to the train station, that was amazing. So the metro was not far either. Accommodation is for 24 hours from check in and that is an absolutely amazing service. I would say that for the price it is the best hotel in Almaty that I have ever been to. The lady at the reception was great and even though she didn't speak English she was immediately ready with a translator. Overall, I would definitely recommend the stay.

Hotel should provide with basic toiletries like soap etc. Rooms should be have hot water kettle. Hotel had it but at the common kitchen and not in the room. Room was cleaned only once in 3 days. Should be cleaned atleast once in 2 days. We were there for almost 7 days but our room was cleaned only once.
Location of the property was good. The reception people were very helpful with all sort of queries.

Bed could be more comfortable Due to personel didnt know english I have lived some comminication problems with them There was a bit noice becouse of constraction in hotel Hotel's name wasnt noticable and there wasnt english name of hotel so I didnt sure if I reached the right place.
İt meet my basic expectations. I didnt live a big problem. Everythings was ok. The room heating, furniture and cleanness was enough for me. Paying with either cash or by credit card was good. Location was quite central I usually walked to some main places. Thanks for everything

The room could be refreshed - there were stains on the walls and the bed was not quite as comfortable. Another downside was that storage of luggage after checkout required additional payment
The hotel is located quite conveniently in the city centre, close to bus lines and the metro. The room was clean, sufficiently spacious and the required amenities were provided (towel, soap). There was also fridge
