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.).

PolandNanda is a great host. He went above and beyond with making our stay pleasant. The place is clean, 4 minutes away from the beach and best bar in town (speaking of... beer fridge next to your room is a fantastic addition after hot day). Best stay so far in Malaysia and we already went through a lot of places here. Highly recommend!

CanadaAs many other guests have commented, Nanda and his team are outstanding hosts. You feel welcome the minute you arrive. From cheap beer to morning mangos and bananas to exceptional hospitality, clean and comfortable rooms and excellent price, you really can't go wrong here! Minutes by foot from the beach and anything else you need (ATM., Restaurants, tour bookings), the location is perfect. Nanda even patiently answered all of my questions and arranged for our onward travel to Koh Lanta! Thanks for an amazing stay! Wish we could have stayed longer!

The owner Nando, brought me my breakfast from a nearby simple restaurant, to my room on the first two mornings of my stay. On the third morning, he accompanied me to the restaurant and we had breakfast together.The food was simple, but very tasty and I took myself to that restaurant every morning, for the remainder of my stay. Nando and his two main staff, Thomas and Rick, made me feel like one of the family and they showed me around the bars of the local community. I was humbled by the incredible hospitality from the locals on each occasion. Nando also introduced me to some of his family and he invited me along to a family reunion in Kuah, where we shared seafood and drinks in a local restaurant. As my one week stay reached its conclusion, he took me to the famous Scarborough fish and chips restaurant, where we chilled out for a couple of hours. The food was good and the view of the beach and surrounding islands from the restaurant, were well worth the visit. I will always have fond memories of my holiday in Langkawi, thanks to Nanda, Thomas and Rick. I look forward to going back.

Highly recommend this place for a stay on Langkawi. The owner and the people here are great. Either if you travel solo or in company this place is perfect. Rooms are clean and all desires like the beach, restaurants, bars etc...are in walking distance. The owner helps you with all needs. To summarize one of the best places we ever stayed at!

What a place. We had a fantastic time. The rooms are spacious, clean and have everything you need, including a water shampoo and shower gel. It's really close to the beach and town but still really secluded and peaceful. Cheap scooter rental and beers. But best of all the management is super friendly, welcoming and relaxed, I have never felt so comfortable so quickly in an accommodation before. Thank you nanda!!!

The room had a kettle, fridge, fan, good air conditioning, mosquito nets on the windows & free chilled water in the pantry & shared kitchen if you’d like to cook. Small bar & communal area for relaxing. Close to the centre, many restaurants & the beach. Scooter hire and tours are also available to book on site.

AustraliaNanda was the most helpful host I've ever met. He liaised with the airline when my bags were delayed and organised tours for me as well as providing excellent general info about things to do in Langkawi. He is an amazingly friendly guy and has a wealth of travel information. The room and facilities were well worth the price. The location is also very close to multiple restaurants, the beach and all the shops along the Jalan Pantai Cenang main strip. Thanks for being a wonderful host Nanda!

United KingdomThis is the best place to stay in Langkawi, quiet but central with everything within walking distance. What makes the place is the owner/host Nanda! He has created the perfect hangout and chill space. He has a fully stocked beer fridge where you can purchase beverages and spend your evening chatting with friends. Super relaxed, friendly, and helpful with any queries. He also arranges for scooters and offers tours. He even kindly picked up and dropped off our laundry for us! He went above and beyond any host we have had on our 9 months of travelling the world. The room was simple, equipped with a fridge, fan, and air con. Had enough space, and a desk was provided to work at which was nice. I’d recommend staying here for the nice communal atmosphere and value for money.

I was surprised to see a very clean room with bathroom attached. Owner is very friendly and gave a lot of tips (where to eat, how to get to duty free complex, etc). Location of the place is a short walk to beach and eateries. For the price I paid for the room is value for money. I stayed 1 night because it was a transit place for me. For budget travelers who intend to cook, you can use the common kitchen to cook your meal. Highly recommended!!!
