How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

You can't drink inside room. means you cannot party with family and friend incase you want to have a beer or whisky. this is not permitted. but you can smoke just outside the room. there is 2 chair and table outside room. so its good, you will enjoy your stay
The motel is quite close to the beach and market only 5 minutes away. there is swimming pool for adult and kids as well. its a good property, BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONSUME ALCOHOL INSIDE THE ROOM. though you can smoke outside there is proper arrangement. overall, its a good place to stay. check in and check out was very smooth, there was fees of 10MYR per day and this is common in Langkawi for every property.

The aircond is not cold even though the temperature has been set to 16 degree. Luckily there is a fan inside the room.
Location is strategically located in Cenang Area and just walking distance to the beach and the night market is just cross the road. Easy to find eating places nearby.

- the power of the aircon was not cold enough. Maybe due to the weather. Luckily there's a ceiling fan which makes the room a bit colder. - the tv is not functioning well. But its ok bcos we seldom in the room all the time. Maybe can be improved.
- the location & environment which was situated near to the chenang beach and the shopping mall and surrounded by food stalls. - the peacefulness during at nite. - the cleanliness of the room & toilet.

The only drawback is they are not allowing alcohol consumption inside the rooms. It should be clearly stated before the booking. They clean their rooms once every day even when the do not disturb sign is on. The bathing area is small and the wall and the mirror get wet every time we have a bath.
I stayed at the Dhania Motel for 3 nights. I checked early about 10 am after flying about 36 hours straight and they did not charge me for that. The people at the reception were nice and smiley. My room was ready at the time I arrived and all the amenities needed for a stay including a flat-screen TV, minibar, and hot water were there. Air con works fine but with the location of the unit, it takes too much time to cool the room. They have a small beautiful pool located inside the hotel. The hotel is located near the night market and the location is quite easy to find. The hotel is open 24 hrs and no special time to go out and come.

The toilet, bathroom and basin are in one - we got used to this set up and were OK with it
This is a motel with walking distance to the beach and the many places nearby that we visited by walking. Food Trucks in the evening opposite this motel. The room was very clean with cleaning service every day on request. Simply put the sign on your door. Bathroom can be a challenge as the toilet, bathroom and basin are in one - the bathroom is wet after a shower and may be a challenge to use the toilet thereafter. For the price and convenience of the location we did not mind this set up.

The a/c unit in the first room I had (king room) was quite noisy - but once the room cooled down, the fan was enough. The second room (two beds) didn't have a table by the bed to put your phone or water at night.
A short walk to the beach and the night food market (right across the street) - but far enough away from everything to be very peaceful and quiet at all times. The wifi was very good, the a/c and fan kept the room at a comfortable temperature and the beds were very comfortable. It was very nice to have the seating area right out front of the room.

A refresh to all the furniture is needed but still, they make their job.
Location is perfect-in the centre but not in the middle of the caos. You can sleep perfectly. Building is basic and furniture olds but everything is working. Reception really kind and help you out. Good value for money.

It doesn't have a safe box, and it would be nice to add bedside tables. The air conditioning was a bit waek for the heat during the high season.
It's super clean and basic. Staff is very helpful. Location is perfect for easy walking access to all you need. Sunset ay Cenang beach just spectacular! There are some improvements happening at the motel, as a beautiful swimming pool . It's going to be amazing! Just outside the motel, there is every evening food street with yummy and cheap food! Also the staff has organised the best driver to the jetty! Thank you xx

Bathroom was very small, you shower practically in the toilet and difficult to close the door. The sheets looked dirty and stained.
It has a very good location, middle in the town but still remote. Opposite the hotel there is a little night market. We had our dinner every night for cheap prices. Room has refrigerator, a kettle and mugs.

The bathroom was very uncomfortable and small. It felt pretty invite since the dorm door goes directly to a main road, pretty early in the morning someone tried to open our door but since it was well closed it was not a problem
It was comfortable, pretty convenient, close to a night market and 5 minutes walk to the beach. The staff was helpful, the rent is a motorbike.
