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.).

United StatesOur room (207) was facing a really busy street. The noise level made sleeping impossible until 1am and then after 5:30 am. The room is windowless for all practical purposes, because of its location. It didn't feel luxurious at all.

Singapore1. Staff quality and training, though helpful, needs a bit more polishing, though, granted that its more of a "homestay" type of hotel, its already not too bad 2. Honestly, at this price range, one would have easily compared it against the MNC brands like Four Seasons, Marriot etc, so I think if you are looking beyond the exquisite architecture and getting yourself inundated in peranakan treasures, then you'd be in for a little disappointment when it comes to service quality and the like that makes it "worth paying for", since its the most expensive hotel around in Malacca, it's fair to subject 5 Heeren to the greatest scrutiny!
1. It was a beautiful hotel with all the trinkets and curiosities of the past, so if you are a history lover or someone who loves peranakan architecture and treasures in general, it would have made yours a great stay! 2. Great personal touches with the breakfast served at 5 Heeren, a lovely spread of quality peranakan food served, all homemade with love and painstakingly prepared by the staff at the hotel. 3. Full privacy once behind the glass doors, since outsiders are not allowed in, definitely a great plus point if you want to stay away from all the nosy crowds and the tourists along Jonker Street.

SingaporeOur room was facing the street so it can get very noisy at night , with the "pikachu" songs playing.
Very unique, cozy and lovely hotel. Friendly owner, gave us very warm welcome and explained a lot of things. The hotel is full of interesting design and things to see and explore. The room size is adequate, comfortable, with a traditional bed. It also locates in the center of the city, within walking distance to all the attractions and things to do.

CanadaNothing. It was perfect.
Everything. This is a superb family-run boutique hotel that is a living example of Peranakan culture. The house is a veritable museum, stylish, fascinating, beautifully kept and run with an attention to every detail. The breakfast is to die for: nyonya cooking and treats that just kept coming and coming. Would most certainly recommend.

AustraliaThis is a unique place to stay. The building is old and decorated with antiquity and old knick-knacks, but the bedrooms and bathrooms are totally modernised. The owner was a fantastic hostess, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was amazing with local delicacies. Next time I am in Malacca, this will be where I will want to stay.
