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.).

United StatesWe were really hoping to say hello to the cats while we were there but there was some kittens that were being introduced and so we couldn’t play with them - one of the main reasons we booked it was because of the cats but understandable given the situation.
We loved our 1 night stay here. The family who runs it is very friendly and has a lot of advice about local things to do. They allowed us to leave our bags all day since we had a late bus. They offer coffee and tea and there is a whole kitchen and fridge for leftovers. Bathrooms were clean too.

United KingdomThe rooms in main have no windows out into the fresh air which was fine for me for a few nights but worth knowing if it's important to you.
Located right in the centre of Melaka, this is truly is a gem of a hostel. It is 2 minutes from the fabulous weekend night market and you can walk around this lovely neighbourhood with ease and come back to the hostel for a quiet rest. There is a lovely set of communal areas on both the ground floor and first floor with sofas and a kitchen. You can also sit out on a balcony and watch the funky themed tourist bicycles go by! The rooms are basic but comfy and the wifi works well for both zoom calls and internet activity. It was a good base for remote working. The staff were super friendly, welcoming and helpful making it a really enjoyable experience. It was also innovative to walk past all the cats in the cat hotel at the bottom of the hostel as well. I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked it but it far exceeded my expectations and I was very glad to have chosen it. Highly recommend!

GermanyFifie is a great owner and super nice person. She helped us a lot with our onwards travel plans way beyond what could be expected. Despite that it´s a great location for a hostel and despite my cat hair allergy I could stay without problems as the cats live in a seperate room. Also late check in was made possible by Fifie.

AustraliaNo microwave for reheating food. Jonker Walk closes for cars 3 nights a week. So if you need a taxi then, it's best to walk 2 mins to the bridge and get picked up or dropped off there.
Cats They own 8 cats, who are super cuddly so you always get cuddles when you go in the cat room. Staff Owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help me. Location/Sights You're in the middle of the tourist sights. Restaurants everywhere and 2 mins from the river. There's a wall of sightseeing suggestions with QR codes for their locations. Comfort Beds were very comfortable Large lockers in the room. There's many communal areas for meeting people. I met Malaysians and international travellers. Dining room, 2 lounges, balcony and car room. Lovely balcony where you can see Jonker Walk. Surprised how quiet it is, even standing outside while the night market is on.

NetherlandsThe hosts were both extremely nice and helpful, location is perfect. Nice to hangout with the cats if you want, if you don’t that’s fine as well they are in a separate room inside the guest house, you don’t have to enter if you don’t want to (I recommend doing it though 😜). I had my bus later than checkout time and could leave my bags at the place without any problem. 100% would recommend staying here!

SingaporeAir freshner in cozy tv room might be a bit much for chemical sensitive guests, but it smelt very nice. Blankets provided might be more comfy if they were larger and softer.
Hosts are very hospitable. Just reopened recently with new owners. Place is very clean, muslim friendly, not a party place, free wifi, half block from Jonker Walk night market and some stores for food and shopping open during the day. Also very close to river for cruises, Dutch Fort, Clock Tower, trishaw rides, money changer, popular malls, local public bus stop, yet just a bit far enough to be quiet.
