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.).

Location is great, just a stone throw away from Imago, Riverson and fantastic eateries including a few 24hr restaurants. Clean sheets and bathrooms are always high on my list and Margo Hotel provides that, definitely a plus for the rate they're charging. Long may it stay that way, cause I will definitely be coming back and recommend it to my circle of friends and family.

No Hotel signage. I understand the hotel is new. Sad looking lift. But it works fine. Dirty windows from the outside.
Location, convenience if checkin and check-out. Simplicity of service - no service (No restaurant, no lobby, no spa, no pool - just a good quality room). Good electronic lock security. Good hot water shower.

Nothing, but I might include slightly more detail about the exact location. Grab can't drive right to the door as it's inside a pay parking lot (though if you drive yourself then you're good). So the location for Grab is "EZ Money Express" which is on the corner by the parking lot entrance. Then just walk a half block, the hotel entrance is directly to the left of Fuji Film. My mountain view room WiFi was a bit iffy but in my current room (I extended my stay) it's very strong. Just a matter of distance from the Wi-Fi unit I think.
Everything is brand new, very nice view, staff sent detailed instructions to find the hotel. I appreciated thoughtful touches like a travel adapter in one of the plugs, water and coffee provided, kettle. A lot of great stuff nearby - restaurants, bars, mall, 711, but very quiet for sleeping. Hot water shower, cold a/c, nice ceiling fan, comfy beds. A desk. Space to store luggage and hang some things. Really a very nice hotel, I extended my stay.

The receptionist wasn’t there all the time as we need to check out early. Maybe it was public holiday (Labour’s Day), and staff went in late for work. But at least staff could just let us know when we met for check in, whereby we could just left our key through the glass door at the receptionist area. We have to wait and figure out ourselves. Thus, our schedule of the day has been delayed. What a bummer!

Totally unusable wifi, with poor coverage in my room 403. Paper thin walls with music & conversation from next trim clearly audible. On my last nite someone was smoking from the next room with smoke coming in under the door. Had to shove towels to block off the smoke.
Location is great for access to Imago mall.

THE LOCATION. i think, this hotel should give an additional information about the location. Im not a sabahan, and its quite hard for me to recognise the location. we drove all the way from Tenom and arriving late, when we arrive, there isn't single board showing Margo Hotel. My husband need to look at each stairs just to know which level is Margo Hotel. The experience is quite unpleasant for me and my family.
the room is so clean, quite good and reasonable price. the security for door room was exceptional. its quite good.
