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 KingdomWe really enjoyed our stay at Vintage House. It was in a great location, the bed was comfortable and the air-conditioning was powerful. Our host Cheah went above and beyond to help us during our stay, sending us lots of helpful recommendations for things to do, and helping us to book our onward travel.

The best part about this property is the owner/staff. She is simply wonderful. Very helpful, kind and accommodating. Furthermore, the inside of the property is very beautiful. It’s a classic interior that does indeed feel ‘vintage’. It’s all simple, but very nice, clean, and feels like home. It’s also located quite centrally located. Definitely recommend.

United KingdomI gave house is situated a 10 min walk from the ferry port and bus station. We used normal service busses to take us to Panang Hills and to the National park, which both start from the bus station, making an ideal location. Also easy to walk to Armenian Jalan and all the other interesting places to visit in Georgetown. Vintage house is basic, but the bed was super comfortable and the shared bathroom was super clean. Coffee making facilities and filtered water to fill up your bottle with was a lovely extra. The host, Cheah was very friendly and had lots of information to share. All in all we were exceedingly happy with our stay.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like.
It's just a really great little place to stay. The hotel is old and quirky but delightful. The lovely lady owner couldn't do enough to make sure our stay was good. She put us on WhatsApp and sent us details of places to visit, where to eat, and some events as it was the end of the Chinese New Year. The room was dark and cool, with the loo and shower in the room. The balcony is great for watching the world go by, but it was ever so hot. Tea, coffee, water, and cereal were all available in the communal area. We loved it. And it wasn't noisy at all. Great location, we'd definitely go back again.

Cheah was the sweetest! She immediately makes you feel welcome and gives you recommendations. We were lucky to be in Georgetown during Chinese new year so she sent me a invitation to a festival, it was amazing! Any questions she would answer right away. The place was super clean, with a mosquito net above your bed, clean bathrooms and a clean watertap.
