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.).

MalaysiaWe dislike the idea of staying at the ground level of the house as it feels so isolated & quite far. If possible, we would like to stay at a room somewhere at the upper level for a better experience.
The scenery was awesome.

MalaysiaGreat location. Easily accessible by car with parking spaces. Can view Mount Kinabalu in the morning from the homestay compound :). Stunning view. There are several types of rooms available. Choose the right one for you. We preferred rooms with attached bathroom. The are also, 2 common kitchens available with water filter so plan well if you wish to cook there. Host friendly and helpful.

Malaysia- No TV remote until I requested - Unreachable through Booking.com chats - no Dining table, have to eat dinner on the floor - lights were blinking like haunted, didn't check before letting guest move in - Booked the A/C room but when I arrived it was just using fans, according to the owner, it was cool enough and no A/C needed and it was Booking.com fault for misleading info. The owner never replied to Booking.com chats for my concerns And no one confirming my room bookings - staircases definitely NOT old folks friendly - no apologies, no WhatsApp replies, no updates for any of your bookings details
Reachable owner through WhatsApp calls, quite nice location.

It is very clean. Wifi is fast enough. Can see the mountain in front of you! we all have a good sleep because of quietness and comfortable beds.

MalaysiaThe location is a bit far from Town hence you really need a good GPS system. The rooms are not soundproof so if you are lucky you might hear people snoring but it is just similar to hostel lifestyle. My kids has no complaint.
My kids like the table-tennis and the "wooden piano". The person in charge is very friendly and we had an opportunity to know new friends especially some families from Brunei. My daughter and Son also experienced their 1st ATV ride. Worth trying. Early morning if it is not so cloudy You will definitely see the Peak of Mount Kinabalu. Cooking facilities also provided

United KingdomThe views were awesome but you can't walk anywhere, need a car.
The owners of this beautiful hostel were so very helpful. Really you need a car to stay here, we only stayed 1 night & could not get a taxi from there, the kind owners took us in their own car to the town. They really saved us & helped us book bus tickets. The accommodation is clean & the Vries are spectacular. They have made it feel very homely with the decorations around the garden.
