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.).

Spacious and clean rooms, a nice relaxation area is also available. There is air conditioning in the rooms, the rooms get cold. Right next to the night market. That's why I loved it here!

New ZealandMore of a hotel than a social backpackers so not a place to meet people if that’s what you’re looking for. Right next to market so super noisy. Ear plugs are a must!
Great location and very clean, comfortable rooms. The reception staff were lovely and helped me do my laundry at short notice which I really appreciated! Would definitely stay again next time I’m in KK

MalaysiaBecause its right beside the night market, it can be quite noisy till late night as expected, but not a big deal as long as you have earplugs. Bathrooms has a bit of smell maybe due to old piping.
Very convenient location. Located right beside the night market and eateries / cafes. Very helpful and friendly staffs who are always ready to help. Toilets are always kept clean and bright. Bunk bed is well equipped with curtain for privacy, socket, 2 types of lighting. Very cozy common space with dining area, sofa and TV. Super comfy and clean bed, I had a really good sleep!

MalaysiaA few considerations. You would need to walk up to the first floor where the reception is. Also if you stay on Saturday night, be mindful of both the Saturday night market and Sunday morning market. So sounds do travel if your room is nearby. Also take note of where you park!
Still new, room and place is so pretty and comfortable! The stylish fittings were unexpected for the reasonable price I was paying. Comfy bedding and Netflix on TV.

SingaporeIt was rather noisy because of the market outside but I did go to sleep early - would bring ear plugs next. Actually, I would go to the night market and enjoy the delicious food!
We were greeted by a warm smile. The check in process was easy and smooth. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We slept very well in the plush beds. If you have luggage, they have put in a lift from level 2 which is helpful. Would totally stay again! Great value and location.

MalaysiaTo have its own cafe, coffee bar would be nice but was told the renovation of the ground floor lot was not part of Poshtel expansion. Nights esp weekend can be a bit noisy due to Gaya street below.
Comfort, cleanliness and toilet amenities provided allow good rest for travellers, especially post-hiking/mountaineering. Location also allows easy access to quality food and pick-up point for e-hailing.

United KingdomLocated in the heart of Kota Kinabalu I was really pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Really comfortable, everything felt very new and clean and had a great night sleep. Only stayed one night but would stay for longer if I had time. Stayed midweek and it was super quiet. On a Saturday it's very close to a street night market which sounded fun.

One of the best hotels we had in our trip in Borneo. It is super clean, modern, with all amenities you need, very comfortable bed and super located! The staff was also very friendly are was not a problem to do a very late check in (2 am) or to check out a bit later than the plan.
