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.).

CanadaI stayed here for one night at the end of my trip. I chose a deluxe room as the standard/superior rooms looked small in the photos. However I didn't end up spending a lot of time in my room during my stay, and the hotel has a nice, quiet, airy lobby to hang out in that I don't think I needed the deluxe room. The hotel is in a heritage building. I was told the hotel opened 2 years ago, so everything still looks new. However I found the hotel to be more aesthetically pleasing than functional. There is a rooftop, but there is only minimal furnishings and no shades, so it doesn't seem to be used much (if at all). The deluxe room has some extra space, but oddly no folding luggage rack for convenience. There is a TV and couch, but the TV only has YouTube and the couch has thin cushions and uncomfortable. The bed for the deluxe room is upstairs in "loft" style, and there is no night stand or any space next to the bed (to put your phone down?). The light switch is also halfway down the stairs instead of anywhere close to the bed. Being a heritage building, there is only a small internal window, so there isn't much natural light in the room. If you have a really short stay in George Town and find a good deal at this hotel, I would recommend it for the location. The hotel is literally across the street from the 1st Avenue mall, and minutes from the tourist area. If you just want a comfortable bed to sleep in at night, this place maybe for you.

SingaporeRoom was small and not recommended for old folks as the room had a loft bed, which means... staircase! Other than that, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend this place to those who likes exploring Penang on foot! :)
We like the strategic location of the hotel. Room was very comfortable and had the basic amenities required.. Staff were friendly.. As I landed at 11pm, the staff waited for me till 12mn to check in..

SpainStairs and corridor are made of wood and feel quite old. Bathroom was fine but shower area was small, and covered with curtains so it was easy for water to splash outside.
Simple but cozy place. Bed was extremely comfortable, and room was not noisy at all despite facing the street. Went out for a late night walk and it felt like a safe area. There's a convenience store nearby.

MalaysiaI found that there was only one dispenser at the shower room, so I had to run to the shopping mall to get a shampoo, conditioner, and face washing.
The location is very convenient. I could reach the bus station easily, and there are shopping malls and convenience store near the hotel. And I loved the big & comfortable bed at the upper floor.
