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.).

IndiaEverything was great but room walls are lil thin so u can hear the sounds nearby. Its a problem if you are a light sleeper, else it doesnt matter
The location is great. Its walking distance from night market and Jesselton Ferry point. The hotel has a groud floor restaurant which serves all kinds of food. We are vegetarians and they customised few dishes for us. The hotel also has a pantry so in case you want to prepare something or have tea or coffee you dont have to go to restuarant each time. The staf also helped us connect with different travel agents with whom we checked the prices and booked one we found was giving best rates. The room also has a bluetooth speaker, so u can connect it to your phone and listen to music ( Iloved this feauture, ofcourse at low volume)

MalaysiaBest hostel I've ever stayed in east Malaysia. Located at the heart of the KK town. Easy access to several tourist spots and local food spots. Stayed 3 quality nights at mixed bed dorm and it gives me sweet dream everyday.

United KingdomThese are very small things but there are a lot of mosquitos in the co-working space which makes it a little bit uncomfortable. Also the coffee machine was ‘under maintenance’ for the whole month I was there. And it would be really nice to have somewhere to air-dry your clothes and diving equipment etc because not everything can go into the dryer in the laundry room.
Great location, very clean, helpful staff. I stayed for one month and had a really nice experience. There is a pantry area with a fridge and a microwave, free hot and cold water to refill your bottle. I would highly recommend it!

AustraliaThe coffee machine at the shared workplace place supposed to be provided for hotel guests and stayed there for many days but never been fixed or provided us some alternative. Just a written sign there broken.
The toilet and bathroom were amazing and very clean. AC was cool and comfortable to stay in the hot city.

United StatesShared bathroom was a bit...wet. Each shower had its own room; however, water often leaked out of the shower containment area and into the gangway where the sinks and walkway were. Caused a wet and mildew smell.
Pros: -Extremely comfortable beds with blackout curtains and individual plugs and light at each bed with an internationally compatible socket -informative staff -free street parking from 4pm-8am -walking distance to restaurants/pharmacy and street market -24h laundry right next door (8RM wash, 6RM dry as of Feb24) -functional aircon -upgraded room to 6 bed mixed dorm with windows! -free water refills -fast and reliable WiFi with areas set up for coworking -small kitchen and fridge

HungaryIn many ways it was the best place we stayed during our travels in Malaysia - and we stayed in many different places from capsule hotels to resorts. The place seems to be quite new, it is very clean and the facilities are amazing. You can see that they thought about everything that might be useful for you or might make your stay more comfortable when they planned the place - and this is something that we did not experience many times in the country. A lot of small details that are very thoughtful. such as they give you a map about the city with cafés, restaurants, interesting places marked; there is a great and peaceful common area that is good for working and relaxing as well with bean bags, couches, desks, slightly separated areas, and a ton of power outlets; there is a common kitchen and laundry; there is a (very good!) restaurant and a bar; and they are ready to help you with organizing trips as well. The design of the whole place is also something to mention, vibrant colours and motives, great paintings, and again, the thoughtfulness: they used some ethnic patterns in the decoration, and there are some things they smartly reused. Great atmosphere, I can only reccoment this place!

IrelandLess of an atmosphere or social vibe than we expected. Not really a socialising/ hostel buzz. Door banging was an issue. Lots of chairs etc stacked in a fire exit which is a hazard (we discovered this thanks to a 2am fire alarm). Wet room, no separate shower. Kitchen area coffee machine broken.
Very funky place. Great value for money. Nice restaurant that we ate in a lot. Rooftop bar (okay we didn't spend much time there!) Fantastic common room with WiFi and a pool table. An actual slide and a lovely, friendly cat. Kitchen area/fridge there. Clean rooms (not serviced but you can change the towels)
