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.).

Malaysia1. There is no elevator with quite high floor- not advisable for old folks 2. No TV 3. No Qiblat sign-essential for muslim travellers
The location is good with all walking distance services such as dobby and restaurant. These services are equally important having that Semporna is quite congested with traffic.

United KingdomFelt a little claustrophobic in my room as there were no windows. One of the beds was on the floor but at least I could choose the top bunk. No atmosphere, which was ok as it was only one nights stay before a flight. But wouldn't necessarily recommend for a solo traveller for more than one night.
Showed and toilets were clean. Top bunk was comfortable.

United KingdomThe room was a lot smaller than looked on photos and the beds weren’t the comfiest. Was ok for the one night but probably not for a longer stay. The area in general in Semporna is pretty sketch so unsure on location.
The room was pretty clean and the toilets/shower area was also clean. Staff were friendly.

JapanIf you are given a room on the third floor, be prepared to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs. There are no elevators available for use. The shower pressure could be improved… a normal 10-minute shower became a 30-minute shower because there was hardly any water coming out. The second time I stayed in the hotel, the water pressure has improved but the water heater was so noisy that it seemed as if it was about to explode. When I booked this accommodation, I received a message saying “ok” and I thought they needed action from me… I found that a bit bizarre. Make sure to close all windows otherwise mosquitoes would be feasting on you while you sleep. The wifi is very weak as well... The location is a bit seedy to say the least.
The beds were comfortable and it is easy to book this accommodation.

South AfricaBasic but clean offering what is advertised
Quite location where there were no street children begging. Closer to the Pier we were bombarded by hungry children which was very distressing for us as we felt so sorry for them. Our stay was only a stop over to Mabul.in order to catch the ferry the next day. Enjoyed an interesting dinner at a local diner in the street on the side of the hotel. Korean styled food. I think it is called a Hot Pot. We are not Muslim so we enjoyed buying local bear at the shop to the left of this diner

Comfortable bed. Underrated Chinese restaurant next to the hostel for breakfast. In our room we have little balcon and we can dry our wet attires. They can arrange transfer to airport Tawau.
