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.).

MalaysiaSurrounding area near the hotel is dirty, many rubbish on the walkway and on the street, need local authority to clean up surrounding area and brighten up the area with more lights and create better environment for tourist. Room is ok but the bed / mattress is not so comfortable / is hard.
Good location, at the town area and next to shopping mall, many food stall and restaurant near the area. Breakfast is ok and could be better with more varieties. Rooms is clean and with a very nice sea view.

AustraliaRoom does not have a fridge even though it was listed as having one. The air con was noisy and not that cold. Bed was comfortable but pillows were too hard. We did hear some some street noise.
Location is great - within walking distance to many local restaurants and shops. Breakfast was good with lots of variety. Check in was efficient and professional.

United KingdomWe couldn't check in on arrival, but the staff were kind and allowed us to store bags in a secure room. We had an issue with the room not locking, but staff helped us to resolve this ASAP and upgraded our room. Some minor English language problems with front desk, but staff in general very friendly and helpful!
A nice, clean hotel in Sandakan in a good location on the seafront and by the mall. Good self serve laundry nearby. Attached restaurant had good food options at good prices and a very decent breakfast included. Loved that they provide glass bottles of filtered water rather than plastic and you can refill your own water bottle-good to see a push for more sustainable options in Borneo! Staff, particularly security and store staff were very friendly.

CanadaRooms were a bit on the small size. Bathroom door was loud when opening or closing. No soundproofing between rooms as building is a bit older. Chose this hotel because it was waterfront, and not having been to Sandskan before did kot know how disgusting the water pollution is.
The location was central to downtown area on the water. Room was a fair size, not large but okay. Hotel had lots of security. A small coffee bar and restaurant were attached to the hotel. We didn't use the restaurant but the coffee bar was good. Lots of shops and eateries nearby. Able to store luggage while trekking.

MalaysiaThere should be some small carpet outside the bathroom to wipe off wet feet. Bathroom a bit smelly like frog pond. Not sure where the smell coming from on the 1st day we checked in. After 2nd day a bit better after we took a bath in it 🤣🤣
I like the location. Just next to Harbour Mall. If you are driving. Can park your car safely overnight at the mall depending on the rate. The room has good aircon, strong water pressure and netflix tv.

United KingdomAt breakfast, the coffee and soup were look warm. you need to get the staff to put more meths in the burners underneath to warm them up.
There is a taxi booth inside the airport to get a ticket for the 30 minute drive to the hotel. The hotel does not serve alcohol but there is the Harbour Bistro Lounge (Bistro 88) south west along the front about 100m where you can get a beer and good food. There is also Balin Roofgarden Bistro and Bar which serves good food and lots of drinks. This bar is on the 7th floor up a lift in a plain building. I will add a picture of the front of the building so you can find it.
