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.).

SingaporeThere was only one broken knife for cutting fruits and a well-used sponge for cleaning cutleries. Also, it would be great to have some more hangers or a drying rack for washed clothes.
Spacious and well located. It's an amazing place to stay for those who want to experience living in a shophouse.

NetherlandsAbsolutely nothing, if you use earplugs in the front bedroom.
Location was terrific, at the edge of the old city, few minutes walk from all the highlights. From the outside the location doesn't look like much but inside it's really fantastic. I guess 25 m deep in two floors, beautifully tiled and decorated, with three separate bedrooms (one very large with two double beds but on the street side so use ear plugs), easily cooled with Airco and each with its own bathroom.. You really get the feeling to stay in an authentic Malaysian home with a patio inside which now has a roof. It has enough room to stay with at least 6 people and as many as 9 without feeling crowded. You can eat next door but all the bars and restaurants are within a 10 minute walk. Owner reacts quickly and very friendly and flexible. Don't look any further and book this place!

MalaysiaThe place was nice to stay. From outside, it looks like a normal shop lot but inside it's like a hidden gem. There were many stalls outside at the same street for breakfast. The owner was nice to leave some kuih nyonya at the door for us, it was a pleasant surprise.

MalaysiaWhen we arrived, the living room's air-condition was not cooling. However, by the next afternoon, it's been repaired. Otherwise, the rest was good.
Staff was responsive and attentive. Thank you for making such a heritage house available and affordable for visitors like us to have an opportunity and pleasant experience staying in a peranakan house. The house was spacious, well equipped, clean & comfortable - could observe that it's been carefully renovated, maintained and preserved. One morning, Victor drop us some local kuih delicacies - thoughtful! Appreciate that Victor still attend to my enquiries and even offered to assist, even after I've checked out.

MalaysiaThe owner is friendly and helpful. He informed us all the information we need to know a days ahead. The location is great and not far from the Jonker Street area. The traffic around the area is smooth, with less traffic. Parking lots are easily spotted opposite the property. A good choice if you need car parking.

SingaporeSince the property was located by the side of a road, there was some vehicle noise which could be heard at night in one of the bedrooms.
The property was located in an excellent location, and there was a good parking spot outside the property. The house itself was done beautifully and was spacious and extremely well maintained. The house was in a very clean condition when we arrived, check in instructions were clearly given. The house was tastefully and beautifully decorated. The city center and attractions were at walking distance from the property. The owners even gave us complimentary kueh on one of the days!

AustraliaNothing really. However for those looking for more cooking facilities, just be prepared to eat out. This place is not designed for cooking, but making drinks and heating up food should be ok. We didn't have much time to watch TV, but couldn't really work out which TV stations were available. Didn't matter to us. Couldn't work out ASTRO or Netflix options. This is an older part of town and generally drainage system seems quite poor. Drains outside seem to be a bit blocked and the smelly drains affected the back of the house. But no problems with drainage within the house.
This is a superb, value for money accommodation. Walking in to this home for the first time felt as though we were stepping back into time into someone's beautiful traditional home. Such an oasis of peace and elegance. It helped that the owner had kept the rooms chilled for our arrival! There were 3 rooms at the property, with spare mattress. 8 towels and basic toiletries (shampoo, body soap) were provided. All rooms and the hall had a plug in anti-mosquito device, but generally we didn't have any major problems with mosquitos. Our travelling party included an inquisitive and active 2 year old, and we had no problems navigating the steep steps and keeping our child safe. We also loved the central courtyard with the sunlight streaming through to light up the whole house. The decoration is charming and delightful, a wonderful mix of the baba nonya tradition and modern day conveniences. There were many local coffeeshops, hawker centers, and roti canai shop options for a quick local meal. Jonker street and the historic part of Melaka is just a quick drive away with ample parking within the city. Owner also dropped off complimentary nonya kuih on the morning of our checkout - thank you! We would definitely come back again if we ever need to be in Melaka in future.
