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.).

NetherlandsI have slept there before and I would definitely come back again too. Really a beautiful authentic place. Not too big, so they have more attention for you than when you sleep in a big hotel. The staff is super helpful. Stephanie, super thanks for our nice conversation! Really enjoyed chatting with you like that. You are a very smart lady, you will get there!

GermanyIt would have been great to have a simple toast with tea breakfast included. However it was not a big problem for us, as it was relatively easy to walk out for a breakfast. We ate thrice at Toh Soon Cafe for example which was about 5 mins walk way.
Beautiful mansion room and lovely decoration. A swimming pool (approx 3m x 10m and 1.2m depth) suitable for chilling out when it was too hot. The staff even served us cold water while we were playing in the hot afternoon. Great location. Across the street is an excellent tea house where we ate more than once.

ItalyThe staff are EXCEPTIONAL. They are so accommodating, professional, polite and always present to meet any request. They are friendly but discreet. To walk through the front door and be greeted warmly with a smile really made me feel like I was returning home each time. We had 2 rooms as we were in 5 and both rooms truly exceeded our expectations in terms of layout and decor and amenities. The hotel is also really well positioned Definitely will recommend this to others

United KingdomNo breakfast available and coffee/tea only served on request during breakfast hours. Plenty of places to eat nearby but coffee and tea in the rooms would have been a bonus. A small issue but the convenience would have been welcome.
Really central to the wonderful George Town street art and heritage area. The family room was beautiful with two double beds on two levels and a front room area. Excellent staff who were friendly and so helpful. A wonderful converted mansion - a little gem of a place. We loved it!

SingaporeVery unique hotel in the beautiful Peranakan style. The premise is super authentic and very impressive with all kinds of antiques but yet all comforts you need like aircon, nice updated bathroom, fridge, etc. We will definitely stay again at this place when we come back to Penang.

United KingdomA couple of minor things, there is an outdoor night light that shines into our window rooms at night. The hotel staff were helpful and turned the light of for us at midnight each night. Another complaint is the high price of adding a day bed, it’s costs an additional RM100 for each night and the ‘set up’ consists of just putting a blanket and pillow there. If I had known that I wouldn’t have paid the extra as we could have done that ourselves. in the end we did not need the day bed and I still got charged RM200 for the cost of having a day bed for 2 nights. This left a bad taste to the end of the stay
Great location and a beautiful heritage hotel. It felt very clean and spacious, and there was a friendly hotel cat that we enjoyed petting. A very charming hotel

MalaysiaThe shower hose and the bidet hose were not functioning well... it leaks and does not provide the right water pressure whilst showering.
the location was very convenient. The hotel staffs were friendly and the best of all, they allowed us to check in earlier than expected. Additionally, knowing the weather was very hot, they have turned on the AC before our arrival, allowing us to have a nice cool down in the room without further waiting.
