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 KingdomWe had the 4 bed room. The size of the room is quiet small, but still fine. The smell of close is very intense. There are no windows and you can clearly see is very difficult to let the air circulate.
The location is great, from the art street and chulia Street were you can go in the evening night.

IndonesiaBed was squeaky. My room is located upstairs next to the street and I could hear all the noise until above 11pm but solvable with earplugs. Almost everything is closed at night. Kinda hard to find a place to eat around the area.
Within walking distance to Komtar. There is free CAT bus stop nearby. Checkin was smooth.

MalaysiaWall between room is asbestos. So u can hear your neighbour clearly. I had a problem to sleep due to noisy boys who rented next to my room. They shouting, laughing, knocking the door and so chaos. I got headache. I suggested to the host to put silence sign in every room.
I like the environment. Simple n vintage. Like hostel life. Clean toilet, i can wash my cloth and windy place to dry it. A very nice and kind host for letting me stay for extra time.

MalaysiaReally noisy neighbours if you are staying in rooms at the ground floor. 2nd floor floors creaks even with careful steps. The 2 single bunk bed in room A8 also creaks, please fix it. Room smells moldy - probably wasnt inhabited for quite some time. Paints of the toilet walls were peeling. Please maintain and upkeep structures and appearances of your building. Yes for that price it's considered a budget-friendly lodging but a run-down building would turn many away.
The staff Joey was really kind and helpful, replying promptly to our enquiries. Please DO NOT text the person on 016-4215228 - very impatient and short replies which really made us feel unwelcomed, please hold on to an open service mind if you want to run accommodation especially at touristy cities !

MalaysiaVery small room area. Some stuff like used soap that the previous customer left behind. Sands on the floor and also the bed. Very thin wall that you're able to hear someone walk around outside.
I like its location which is very close to the Komtar bus terminal. They don't have a receptionist but it's easy while following the instructions to get the key and check in. They got water dispenser, iron, and washing machine. The price is the cheapest in Komtar area, it's enough to stay for few days. The Laksa House under the hotel has some exceptionally good foods.
