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.).

New ZealandRoom could have been a bit cleaner, we arrived to quite a few hairs on the floor of the room and bathroom, and around the bed They were never cleaned up even after the daily room service. We were given the room right next to the lobby and the noise on a few of the mornings was unbearable. There were large groups of tourists in the lobby, basically shouting at each other from 7am until 11am. They were opening and closing a door nearby and letting it slam every time. The reception did nothing to stop this noise. The road outside the hotel seems to have endless traffic at all times so be careful where you order taxis/grabs from.
Comfortable bed, nice bathroom and the air conditioner worked well. Reception service was friendly and location was pretty good, some good food options around. The bed is on a platform, but feels like it’s kind of on the floor which would not be ideal if you have difficulty getting up and down.

MalaysiaThe wifi is a bit slow and keeps on disconnecting. My room was on the 3rd floor, maybe it's far away from the router. I don't know. I can get up to 40 mbps max and lower than 10 mbps at times. What's disappointing is even my cellular coverage couldn't even get 5G. I could only get 4G coverage with celcom at 30 - 40 mbps only. Don't know why. Other than this, I have no complaints.
The place was so clean, neat and tidy. I like that the rooms aren't too big but still cozy. It has sufficient, modern and subtle lighting. I appreciate that. The shower, hot water and AC all functioned well. The staffs were so friendly and helpful. Especially the two ladies at the reception counter. I already felt like home. They greeted me politely and offered to keep my bag since I arrived early. The location is also strategic. Directly above 7E and other convenience stores, restaurants are just a stone's throw away.

Perfect location at the heart of KK city, walking distance to the Gaya Street Market, Handicraft Market and Todak Waterfront. Hotel is new so amenities are not dated, room of perfect size, water pressure is excellent. 7 eleven beside the hotel entrance. Will stay again!
