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.).

Small hotel atop Cafe, 5 rooms but nicely appointed with AC, comfortable bed, relatively quiet and clean, bathroom is compact but functional, location is close to jetty, scuba shops and market, restaurants. Included breakfast is nice to help with early departure out to island. Owner is very informative and helpful. For the price, excellent value.

SingaporeWalls are a little thin; could hear some noises from other rooms but not loud enough to affect the sleep. What was quite noisy was the air conditioner though. Even on the smallest fan speed it was still rattling away. Bed and pillows aren’t the most comfortable for us but it’s up to personal preference on this
Walking distance to the jetty where we were to board our dive resort ferry. Room was generally clean with basic amenities. A bit aged looking but good enough for a short stopover one night stay.

Staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. I had lost an item on the plane and the host gave me his own phone to try and call the airlines. Room was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was well equipped with basic toiletries which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast is simple but made fresh to order. Wifi was good and location is great right near the marina.

IrelandThe room feels slightly run down same for the toilets. Nothing major but examples would be like slightly rusty toilet door handles and shower hose. Small holes/cracks in the toilet walls, uncovered drain hole in toilet, just small aesthetic things nothing to affect its utility at all, just a simple touch-up would probably make it more presentable. TV did not work as well when I was there, the staff said their modem was sent for repair.
The staff were really nice and tried to help when they could. The bed was comfortable and aircon works well. Breakfast was good and convenient especially since I had an early start of the day and it saved me some time looking for breakfast.

MalaysiaNo lift to reach the second floor. It is ok, if we don't have heavy suitcase. Not much choice for breakfast. But, we like the tea and coffee they serve in the Amazing cafe.
The location of the motel. It is very near to the jetty for going to island, and also convenient stores and restaurants are around the area.

United KingdomRooms are basic and not a nicely as the cafe below. Not a great deal in Semporna. It’s a stepping stone to the islands and water villas.
Location is very close to shops, restaurants and harbour for islands. Air conditioned Rm with en-suite. Reasonably priced. Two ladies on reception were very helpful and always cheerful. Their smiles brighten up your day 😊.
