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.).

AustriaThe smell from the restaurant below was sometimes a bit disturbing. The balcony is faced to see the sunrise, so at a clear day it's heating up pretty quickly. So only a problem for slow morning starters wanting to enjoy their coffee on the balcony :)
Nicely equipped apartment with spacious balcony with a nice view over the ocean and mountains. Nice quiet area, beside of the planes from the airport (which start pretty accumulated, so it's not all through the day - also I believe that the starting of the planes is heard all over the city in KK). When windows are closed, it's isolating against the sound pretty well. The water filter is nice to have and kitchen has a basic equipment to prepare some simple meals. Some supermarkets and restaurants are close by, the night market at Aru Beach in walking distance is really nice after an amazing sunset. I preferred to be outside of the center as it is more quiet, if you like to walk it's a nice walk to the center or taking a Grab is really cheap. Nice refreshing pool and rooftop area with a fantastic view on the mountains and ocean.

United KingdomSadly the gym didn't have any weights which was a bit disappointing as this was one of the reasons we chose to book the apartment. It would have been great if there were more seating options around the pool too. For the size of the apartment it would have been nice to have a sofa.
The apartment was really spacious and we loved having the kitchen. We stayed here for a week as it was such good value for money and the rooftop pool was a highlight. The pool is a great size for swimming lengths. The apartment was clean and they gave us extra towels since we were staying for longer. The remote check in was super easy too. The TV was perfect and had a HDMI cable so we could watch Netflix in bed. Great value for money, would recommend to anyone staying in KK to stay at the Aru Suites.

Bright and airy room with great facilities, comfortable bed, fridge freezer kitchen facilities etc. The view over the city from the balcony and out towards Mount Kinabalu was magnificent. Also watching the planes coming in low and dropping on to the nearby runway was very pleasurable. The same can be enjoyed from the rooftop pool and rest area. We can't recommend this place high enough.
