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.).

BelgiumYou might get disappointed if you are hoping for a Nice swimming pool and served breakfast. Outdoor space is really just that, a space outside, and breakfast is toast and cereal you can take.
I had the private room with bathroom and window, this was spacious, clean and comfortable. Location was nice. Staff was friendly and explained where to get the bus to Bako etc.

BelgiumThis place needs a little bit of work to be cozy/attractive again. The rooftop is very dirty now, but it has a lot of potential. The pool was empty which was a bit disappointed for us. It can be much more than it is right now.
Wayne was very kind. He responded very quickly when there was a question/problem. A lot of toilets and showers! Perfect location, close to foodshops, waterfront, shops, ... Bed was also comfortable!

SingaporeFree breakfast is really very basic but it's nice to be provided the option. Some of the facilities weren't in the best condition (eg taps in the common toilet loose and I doubt anyone actually uses the pool; common fridge was absolutely stuffed full) but we could live with it for a few days.

MalaysiaThe walls and floor on the section where our room is seem a little thin, we can hear it when people walk pass the corridor.
Breakfast is provided. It's at a great location, a lot of eataries on the same street. The ramen shop right next door is a hidden gem (for lunch)! The kueh chap stall opens in the evening on the same street is good too. Wayne is friendly and helpful during our stay at Check In Lodge.

SingaporeThe place itself is a bit dated and probably needs some refreshing of some areas. My window did have a hole, which was ok but the whole window did look like it could come off any time. The pool area should also just be removed from the listing. It can definitely be converted into nicer common space.
I loved this place. It was definitely value for money and walkable to so much good food nearby. It is not the most social hostel, so perfect if you are looking for something more for a downtime by yourself. The air conditioning was strong and much needed for the time I was there.

United KingdomAs mentioned there is sooo much information of what to do and how to get to different attractions. It’s all a little over whelming, but a lot of it does seem to repeat itself, maybe a bit of a sort through to make the information more concise would be good. The pool was also closed whilst we were there which was a shame however they did say we could use the local pool and get reimbursed.
The breakfast was very nice to have, self service with plenty of breads, jams, cornflakes, tea and coffee! The location was good, plenty of nearby food options and close to various bus stops for different attractions. The guy working was very helpful, giving us plenty of information of what there was to do in the city, he does talk very fast so it is a little difficult to understand everything although they have plenty of information written all over the accommodation.

AustraliaIt is situated in a great location in Jalan Padungan. Check In Lodge is in a converted Chinese shophouse in a beautifully preserved street of shops and eating places just down the road from the waterfront. It is clean and well maintained and represents excellent value for money. Our room was air conditioned and looked out over the street.
