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 KingdomNothing.
The welcome when we arrived, which carried on throughout our stay. The room was big and clean, with a shared balcony overlooking a beautiful garden. It was very peaceful just to sit. The swimming pool area was very relaxing. There was free tea, coffee and biscuits, and a lovely breakfast included. Teo and his family made us so welcome. He organised for us to go to Mount Silam which was great, and is very knowledgable. It's close to the airport, and a Grab ride into Lahad Datu.

Had a really nice 4 night stay at My old House. The host , Mr Teo, was a great guy, knowledgeable and extremely helpful as we're all his family and staff. Quiet location with beautiful garden and plunge pool. Didn't realise that a breakfast was included which was most welcome. Free coffee, biscuits and local sweets always available. Also a mention to Bobby the cutest dog!

United KingdomThe bathroom did smell very damp as there was no window.
It was close to the airport, about 6 mins away. We were so tired after our jungle trekking we literally just fell asleep in our room. However there was a pool and they did give us directions to go to a restaurant for dinner. Breakfast was very simple. The family were very nice and it was just what we needed for one night.

MalaysiaThe twin rooms face the outside hence we requested for change in rooms that faced the inside of the courtyard/pool. Everything else was wonderful.
Every room has aircond and spacious. Staff were very kind and hospitable. Even though breakfast was not included in our rate, they were kind enough to provide simple breakfast with bread and spread and even eggs when we requested. We had to check out early and many coffee shops around Lahad Datu don't open until 8am. We also left our cars there as we were picked up by Tabin Wildlife Resort. Well worth paying the RM10/day for a car as we can then be assured our car is looked after. The rooms that we had were lovely and we could connect via the balcony and chat outside since we were the only ones there (6 of us with 3 rooms).

New ZealandThat we didn't stay longer!
We loved our stay here and wish we had stayed longer. Excellent hosts, comfortable, spacious rooms, tranquil, with a beautiful garden. Breakfast was a plus, each day it was different. We loved trying the local delicacies provided. There is also water, tea, and coffee available 24 hours, you can refill your water bottles. This was the most peaceful, relaxing stay in 3 weeks.
