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.).

SingaporeIf you're craving for interactions with other travellers, I don't think this is the place for you - a hostel would suit you better. There is no toothbrush and toothpaste provided in the guesthouse, as it's not a hotel, so bring your own. I could not find a water dispenser in the accommodations also, so that's another small downside.
I like the central location, at the heart of Georgetown, with amazing food options in the morning. The rooms are quiet, and the bathrooms are kept clean. Room space is sufficiently big, air-con is strong and WiFi is great as well. If you're a couple and looking for a cheap place to stay, My Guesthouse 109 is the place for you. If you love cats, just stay here.

GermanyGreat location of the guest house, super cute pets, everything very clean and an incredibly helpful host (May) make this a perfect stay in George Town. Disregard what people say about the cats meowing, only one of them is actually curious, and if she likes you, she’d maybe meow once to see if you’ll let her in, but that’s it. No disturbances of any kind! Thank you May for the great stay!

Where do I begin? The location was great. There are free bicycles. Full kitchen facilities including free drinking water, washing machine etc. The entire place, including the shared bathroom, was incredibly clean. Probably the cleanest place I've stayed in south east Asia. WiFi was super fast so I could work there. The BEST part: the additional house guests, 5 cats, 1 rabbit, a turtle and fish! The cats were super friendly and love to chill all day.

CanadaIf we could have one complaint it would be that it was sometimes loud when people would walk past the door. But this would not stop me from coming back in any way. Loved it here.
We loved the room and the shower. Very spacious and heat setting in the shower was great. We loved hanging out with the cats as well. The kitchen was a great bonus along with the filtered water and the ability to do our laundry. Highly recommend this place. And would definitely come back.

I found this place to be very clean, comfortable and perfectly sized for one to two people. The shared bathroom was excellent. You could tell that May's cleaner Yuni made sure that the guesthouse is very clean although there's a few cats staying inside the same house. Furthermore, May clearly explained the area, and also arranged a taxi for me from guesthouse to the airport after I checked out in the early morning. The price, I honestly think this is a bargain. I am looking forward to staying here again on day.

We loved our stay at My Guesthouse 109. The guesthouse itself is gorgeous, our room was clean and comfortable and the shared bathroom was clean and well looked after. It was incredibly helpful to be able to use the washing machine and the cats were adorable. May gives you plenty of warning about the soundproofing of the rooms from the listing and we had one neighbour who was very heavy footed when walking past our room. Personally I sleep through everything and my partner wore earplugs in the night so no issues for us.

GermanyThe only thing we did not completely like it that one cat tried to enter our room after midnight and scratched the paws on the door. Fortunately she decided to stop when we opened the door ;)
Very clean and cosy. Very good facilities. Totally independent check in. Maybe it would be great to have some infos about the tourist center/heritage center at the front desk.

MalaysiaThere isn’t negative I can think about it because they wrote very details and email before I check in about the bad scenario in house about soundproof and other small details.
The bed and small little room are very comfortable and cozy, the mattress and the Wi-Fi both are very strong. I have a room with a window without sunlight as what was mention by the owner in description and picture but I have really good sleep during my stay here because my house mate very respectful and follow the quiet hour rule at night. The plus I would says is they have free flow drinking water and free washing machine to used and washing powder as well. They do prepare free coffee and tea at the small pantry area which I can have some refreshments at all time. The double plus is the cats in house, owner cats are very friendly and got one special one which name Latte will always come to me and ask for attention during day and night. The cleaner clean the shared toilet a few time during a day so it’s sparkling clean. I will definitely come back again.

I truly love this place! What a gem. The location is great, walking distance to great restaurants and cafes. I love how comfy the room and the bed was! Internet connection was okay, still good for working remotely. And there a lot of cute fluffy cats, they're everywhere. :) May was also very accomodating, thank you! This is a great place if you want to stay in the heart of Georgetown. The house is also beautifully designed and decorated. I got natural light (if you open the window, you'll see a beautiful well downstairs). The room is also spacious. Lovely house! I'll be back.

United KingdomMirror above the sink would be nice so I could shave
The ambiance from extending vines into the turtle well is alone worth it. You then look towards the floor and notice the kitties. Each with their own personality and protected from the feral environment outside. Clean kitchen environment and washing facilities. The WiFi is strong as the mattresses. The quaint and quiet environment lulls you to sleep in a strong air-conditioned room. I would stay there again without a doubt... Just for the late night tap of self proclaimed Rufus' paw tapping at the door - for some late night cuddles. An awesome place!
