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 KingdomLovely hostel, rather modern. Double room was spacious and comfy, bathroom was clean. Friendly staff. Option to do some laundry washing too. Slightly on the more expensive side for a hostel, but there aren’t many other options in Ipoh so that might be why! About 15 mins walk from the main area/Old Town, but easy to get a Grab if needs be. I would say two nights in Ipoh is probably the right amount! We seem to have been eaten alive by mosquitoes here, lots of them around so bring some insect repellent!

MalaysiaNature's touch = Be prepared for mosquito's bites.
A hostel with a touch of nature, free to roam around since it has big space to rest & chill. Provided locker to keep personal items. Breakfast provided is totally an added value, since some might rush for schedule for touristy purposes/catching train.

MalaysiaSome guests were smoking in the bathroom - the smell lingered for quite some time after. There is also no dedicated parking, you'll have to park along the street, or in the alleyway next to the hostel building.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! They gave us a little tour of the facility and informed us of the noise levels to expect (even provided free ear plugs). The facilities are all very lovely and clean, the room was comfortable, and the decor is very unique!

SingaporeLittle noisy at night (motorbikes and noise coming from a location nearby) but we were warned and were given free ear plugs which we didn't end up using. All in all I've slept in considerably louder places and don't think it impacted my sleep.
Great decor and beautiful plants/natural vibe. Staff were friendly with great food recommendations

FranceBecause it’s a hostel there is no breakfast. We would have gladly paid for one. Please note that the hostel is on a busy street, if you’re a light sleeper you’re definitely gonna struggle with street sounds.

ALL. The room is sooo spacious and comfy and cozy, one of the most spacious rooms I’ve ever stayed. The common areas are also so nice, it has small library and place to relax upstairs which is so nice. The bathroom upstairs are also nice with lots of green space, and clean of course. I love the interior of this hostel. They are also generous in providing coffee and tea and snacks just in case you are hungry in the middle of the night. The staff Nikita was so lovely and helpful, she made my stay more enjoyable. Totally recommend this hostel to great experience of Ipoh.
