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 KingdomAircon is so loud and the surrounding area isn’t the best. But for one night it is good. 45 mins drive from Orangutan rehab centre (remember to take some cash)
Staff were great and good for one night stay. We were heading to Kinabatangn the next morning and this was the best for one night in Sandakan. Good value for money

New ZealandThe AC was incredibly cold and I stubbed my toe several times getting in and out of the bathroom as there is big lip.
The staff are apsoloutley incredible! We where allowed a early check in hours prior to check In we didn't even ask as we presumed we would just need to leave our bags. The rooms is a little dated and rough round the edges but for the price is perfect. It's located short walk from a great indian restaurant and a shopping mall so everything within walking distance.

United KingdomWe stayed here twice. We had no issues with our first room. This time, we felt a really strong smell from the shower drain. It happened in the middle of the night, and we had to use towels to block it. Im not sure if this was a temporary issue or if this is happening in that room often. Unfortunately, i forgot to mention that to the staff in the morning. Everything else was absolutely fine.
Good size, great location, clean, good wifi. Great value for money.

AustraliaOur unit was against the alleyway so sometimes it was noisy from disruptions there.
This place is great value, the building seems nicer than others in the area. Although it’s a budget accommodation, the hotel itself is well maintained. The AC is one of the best, very quiet and thermostat works well.

United KingdomMy room was pretty run-down; it could use some redecorating, especially the walls. Otherwise clean and tidy, exceeding expectations considering the price.
I had my best sleep in Sandakan here, the bed was great- firm but not hard- loved it. The view is lovely and the location of this place is great- although in the middle of a busy area, the rooms are quiet and relaxing.
