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.).

MalaysiaThe stated price of the steamboat was RM58/pax in their printed menus, but they charged RM77 saying that their website price had the updated one. I booked the steamboat in advance having seen their printed menus, so I felt rather cheated.
Setting of the restaurant was good, with very nice view of the city.

MalaysiaThe furniture is old and rusty. The room’s facilities are basic. No TV, no mini bar. There are ants nearby the window perhaps due to the small openings of the old netting installed at the window. The carpet is old hence thin, hard and discolored. There’s black mould on the ceiling. The moment you open the door, you will be able to smell the staleness of the room.
The view at the back garden is exceptionally beautiful. The hotel itself is part of Penang history. So many history facts on the wall with pictures that help us to know Penang better.

SingaporeAs many reviewers have noted, the place is overdue for a refurbishment/renewal. Because of it’s dated-ness, night-time atmosphere feels heavy and uncomfortable.
Fantastic location, fantastic views, beautiful forest atmosphere at the restaurant garden. Bed was clean and good. Staff were very friendly. Suits an independent/solo traveller well: I actually do keep tidy after myself and don’t like housekeeping to come in daily, so this works for me.

MalaysiaStaff are not well supported by the management. They didn't really know what the processes were and could not answer questions in English very well. The room I was given was not the one I requested (asked for two double beds, was given three singles of which one was a camp bed). The fan in the room could not cover the area of it so it was quite stuffy. The netting made it even more humid which added to the mustiness of the room. The staff brought in an extra stand fan but it was very dusty, like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The floor of the room was carpeted but due to the humidity, it was quite dirty and had spots in many places. The beds were very thin to the point that the backboard could be felt through the mattress. The lighting in the room wasn't great and due to the location (atop Penang Hill), there was no cell service from all service providers within the room. What compounded this issue was that the WiFi at the hotel couldn't work. Overall, it felt quite unsafe to stay overnight as there were no other guests that we could see and communications were limited. I was supposed to have my mother stay there overnight but due to the situation, she did not feel comfortable to be there and we just took her home instead. Quite a disappointing experience. After doing more checks on the site, it seems that not all the rooms are equal. Some do look more presentable/comfortable than others. Maybe it was just my luck but for the price point being charged, a little spruce up would do the place a world of good.
Location is very prime, near to the attractions and food stalls of Penang Hill. Garden is pretty and the sounds of nature are everywhere. The place itself has a nice vintage feel to it.
