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 KingdomCan’t fault it
Staff were super sweet and helpful, carrying my huge bag up and down the stairs for check in and check out. Breakfast and coffee in the cafe were absolutely delicious and really promptly prepared. The guest house and cafe have been extremely well constructed, tastefully designed to a really high standard, with beautiful tiling. Ample space to work if you need to - either in the room or large communal area.

FranceIt would be even better to have hooks or airer to hang towels near the bathroom and more place around the sink (or additional furniture) to put our stuff. Sad that the café does not open early enough in the morning to have breakfast in your place (we came for diner, and it was very good!)
Very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. A very good place to stay and visit Ipoh, we greatly recommend! And all that for a reasonable price.

MalaysiaThe downside was because there was a construction going on in the morning plus there's a small clinic hospital right across the road so there's a lot people downstairs waiting on queue chattering aorund but overall I love the atmosphere.
Love the clean and comfortable environment, the staff are friendly plus it's quite nice they even have a cafe downstairs so you won't have to worry about getting hungry with nothing to eat. It's a great concept. Me and my brother have a good stay thank you for having us!

GermanyWe wanted to check in one hour early and the staff just said it’s not possible without giving any reason. Obviously, we don’t have a right to this and when the official check in time was reached, we could enter the room, but it gave us the feeling that they just flat out refused out of principle. We have seen more guest friendly behavior elsewhere.
This is a nice property with modern facilities. The AC was working well and we overall really enjoyed our stay here.

MalaysiaThe towels are a quite worn, would be nice if they are replaced with new or better ones. The construction for a new hotel is in its starting phase in front of the guesthouse so it would be quite noisy for the months ahead.
The guesthouse is very clean and comfortable, no carpets so no bad smell. The floor and bathroom/toilet well maintained. Water pressure for shower very strong. Shower cap, toothbrush, shampoo and shower gel provided. No loud noises from outside or next room, located on a quite street. Near town center and paid parking spaces available. The cafe on the ground floor provides good coffee and food. The staffs are very helpful and friendly.

MalaysiaIt will be super greattt if the cafe open earlier (say 8am) to catch the breakfast crowd !!! Was dying to try out the food but ya knw, it’s Ipoh, I can’t slot in a breakfast session at the cafe because the trip is filled with food.
Very cute retro concept refurbished shop house (with cute BALCONIES )and ample space at common area (my room comes with direct access to the yard too!) Deal breaker was definitely the connecting cafe downstairs (they serve beer too until 11pm). Not to mention the location is just so near to everywhere! There are free bicycles for guests to ride around the historical town too.

ArgentinaNice clean hotel, seems quite new with everything in good condition. Good location as easy to walk to several different resturants but also quiet. Staff really helpful. Good to have the cafe attached to the hotel as we had our breakfast here and a beer at night. I would recommend staying here.

I stayed there for 6 nights. The room is the quietest one I've stayed in Malaysia and I got good sleep there. It's in a quiet neighborhood without bars or tourist shops. I like my balcony a lot. The host is super friendly and you can borrow very good bike from them. The bike is in good quality and very easy to ride. And it's nice to have good coffee just downstairs. And there're plenty of food options nearby.

United StatesThere is no regular housekeeping, however I don't see this as a negative, just something to note. They'll gladly clean your room upon request.
I can't say enough about how great this place is. The facilities are very well-appointed, beautifully designed but simple. Rooms are super clean, comfortable, and, most importantly, the staff is so friendly and happy to help you any way they can. As a solo traveler, it checked all the boxes for the perfect guest house and six night stay in Ipoh. The coffee bar/restaurant has awesome food and coffee. Do try their Nasi Lemak with lemongrass chicken! Absolutely delicious. I ended up extending my stay three nights just because I enjoyed being here so much, and frankly didn't want to leave. Most of the sites in Ipoh are within a 10-15 minute walk or short Grab away. I wouldn't think twice about recommending this place to anyone visiting Ipoh for a few days.
