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 KingdomThe room we had was under the stairs so if anyone was heavy footed it was quite loud but it didn't happen often. The TV didn't work very well but wasn't a major issue. The air con wasn't very powerful and looked like it might need replacing but it did work, it just wasn't very cool.
Location was really good, so close to lovely cafés and street art. The room was clean and had a lovely style, the bed was comfy and the shower had really good water pressure. The reception area was a lovely and comfortable place to wait too.

IndiaMy rooms specially wasn’t soundproof. One door that is shut permanently in the room faces the main entrance road. It’s a happening area so that’s expected. Just see if you guys can fix this somehow. Not a complaint but a suggestion.
The BEST location in penang - Very centrally located. Facility is very clean. All the main street art locations are in close to proximity. Close to Chulia street and the jetties as well. Staff during check- in was very friendly. My bad for not recalling his name.

IndonesiaThe sound on the ground and you can hear piping noises all night.
The location is stategic. Walking distance to street art and easy to find some local restaurants. They dont allow to use sandals or shoes in the lobby. The room is clean and cozy. Really love the smell of the room. Drinking water filter is available in the lobby for extra water. They also allowed us to early check in.

BelgiumGood vibe, the room, downstairs and the outside had lots of personality. Nice balcony, nice idea to put out books that guests can borrow. There were options for different languages. The staff was amazing and very helpful. We were woken up by the mosque, but we booked the hotel knowing this and were curious to experiencing that bit of culture. Definitely something special to experience! When in George Town, I would definitely book this hotel again.

RomaniaThere was a very poor WiFi signal in the room, they should have signal extenders to cover the entire hotel. The door to the balcony was a little broken and some metal thing from the door kept falling down. On booking.com I was informed I paid for everything and then at the reception they informed me I should pay more for some extra tax. It’s not the first time this happened in Malaysia, but it’s certainly quite unpleasant and should be fixed.
I liked the location, the lobby, the decor, the nice street.

United KingdomOur room was near the wooden staircase, and some children who were staying seemed to enjoy clumping up and down the stairs, which was noisy. Not the fault of the hotel, though.
This is a lovely hotel, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The staff are calm, competent and helpful, and the rooms are relaxing and well equipped.
