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 StatesThe music venue across the street had loud, not very good singers performing until after 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, which we could hear clearly from our room facing the street. The free wifi codes given to guests are only good for two devices, so if you have two people in a room and each has more than one device, you have to go back to the front desk to ask for more. They're good for five days, so if you stay longer than that, you'll also have to ask for new ones.
A very modern, comfortable hotel in a good location within walking distance of almost everything in George Town. The air conditioning is great, the shower is fully enclosed and has good water pressure, and there are outlets all over the room. If you like to sleep in pitch darkness, you'll love the blackout curtains. And the big wardrobe is very useful if you're staying long enough to unpack. My wife accidentally left a ring in the room when we checked out; the cleaning staff found it and returned it to us.

United Arab EmiratesThe hotel staff pretend as if it's fully booked and all you can see is the staff chatting freely with no customers around. They purposefully wasted our time over 3pm to give our room although there was no crowd of customers. It was extremely hot that day and we had to roam around uselessly just to pass the time. Also, the pictures are not true. There is no view from the balcony. Also no roof if it rains and you have kept your stuff outside they may as well get ruined.
It was clean. When we came back, the bed was made and the towels were changed.

GermanyWiFi Connection is really bad. Our bathroom was really dark and the Shower had lot of mold Inside. Further was the glassdoor and mirror of the room Not really Clean. And the room was poorly soundproofed. We hung Out the sign for cleaning the room in the morning and in the afternoon, when we came Back to Rest it was still not Made (around 5:30 pm). The service at the reception is a bit cold and you have to ask for each information by yourself Like where and when is breakfast etc. But when its comes to Check Out they will Phone you 10 minutes to early to remind you.....
Bed was comfy and the rooms spacious. Hotel is good situated in the near of the jettys and with a short walk you are in the city. The service in Restaurant is caring, breakfast is okayish, Not the badest and with a lot of variety, so everybody should find something

United KingdomI really can't think of anything not to like. I guess if there's anything, I booked without breakfast but on the one day I chose to east in the restaurant, I couldn't put breakfast on my bill - I had to go to reception to pre-pay before I could go in. A bit unusual and not really too serious but that could be smoothed out.
If you're looking for swanky 5 star luxury - this isn't for you, if you're looking for unassuming and livable luxury. it's ideal. The hotel has a delightful local flavour without being bland and faceless like so many of the big chains. It's in a quiet street within easy walking distance of the main sites in Georgetown. It is spotlessly clean and the rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would certainly (and probably will) go back.

MalaysiaToiletries given are mediocre. hotel has no pool or gym or other facilities, but it serves the purpose for comfortable night rest and go out the whole day for exploring. If you're looking to enjoy the hotel and its facitlities, then this is not a suitable hotel for you. There's only one chair in the room. So if you want to buy back some food or snacks to eat, have to sit on the bed, which then will dirty the bed. Hotel should consider putting another smaller stool and coffee table. there's a big empty space next to the king bed.
Location is v central to street arts and Lebuh Chulia, Armenian Street. Rain shower v strong and comfortable. Bed is comfortable. Car park is convenient and free (need to validate touch n go with reception). Room size and toilet size is pretty good. Housekeeping daily and it's really clean. Up to Japanese standard. There's a station for CAT bus (free shuttle around Georgetown) about 3 min walk away. Further down is the famous Ali Nasi Lemak Bungkus about 5 min walk from hotel. About 10 min walk to Fort Cornwallis and the Esplanade. Hotel is also at a quiet part of Georgetown but still very central. Really worth the money. Didn't have any breakfast there - the whole point of Penang is to go out early enjoy the local breakfast places there! Penang Hill is 20 min drive.
