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.).

I ask at the staff & manager at counter if we cud hv a room connected or nearby at least & for my dad & uncle...a ground shower instead of tub...cos dangerous for old people over 80 especially to climb in & out of tub to shower...they may fall...the manager & staff managed to get 2 closeby rooms & my dad & uncle room had grounded shower & tub..cos they upgraded their room foc...very pleasant staffs & helpful & accomodating. Blessed indeed. Breakfast was ok...cud hv a omelette/pancake counter though. The chicken peanut porridge was so so yummy.

VietnamThe hotel is old both outside and inside, though we knew that info in advance yet a bit surprised when check in the room. Towel is also in old color, lights in room are not so bright. Only until the last day that we got look-like-new towels.
Very good location, 10-minute walk from Velocity/Novena Square malls & Novena MRT. Bus stop just right outside hotel door. Our family room clean & is spacious compared to other budget hotel at the same price. Edequate facilities provided, air con works so well that we dont have to turn it on when sleeping. Though no water bottle at each room, there is water dispenser at each floor for self-filling (for free), thumps up for a sustainable initiative 👍 Staff are friendly & flexible to adapt to our late check-out.

SingaporeThey had renovations and by Sunday 31st I could hear the drilling sound as early as 9.00 am. When I called the operator she claimed that its normal, then clarified with the other guy who came back to me without apology instead fighting me back for there is no way renovation conducted on Sunday. He then clarified with the housekeeping and called me back just to said “dont have what?!” 🤦🏻♀️ my gosh, the attitude cant be accepted at all even for budget hotel.

SingaporeThe service upon arrival wasn’t well received and the staff at the counter when checking out were not professional and have a poor service attitude.
The property was clean and comfortable. The price was reasonable too. Was able to check into the room even though it wasn’t near the check in timing.

SingaporeI think it is a jungle rule, cost effective means you expect to have less attractive service by the staffs too. I am disappointed only that it has to come from the operator or counter staff especially once you in and you called them for something. The cleaners in my opinion are friendly.
Honestly for Singapore, they are considered one of the spacious yet cost efficient and prime location. It has own washing machine and dryer machine (warning: may not wash and dry as your expectations, i decided do outside better). Water take from shared dispenser.

PhilippinesThe hotel building and furniture felt old and gloomy after you enter the bedroom, their carpet looked and felt old and have been used in decades if i would guess. Air in bedroom is not circulating so there is a damp/moldy smell in the room which made me not dare to inhale deeply. The toilet shower curtain is so smelly once you enter the toilet you can smell it right away. The room has poor lighting due to yellow lightbulbs are being used than the white lightbulbs and with the distance of ceiling it needs more brighter lighting.
Room is big and spacious if compare with other Singapore hotels. Customer service is exceptional. They provided the best service, the Filipina front desk (sorry, I forgot her name) and Mr. Harry are the best ones. Including the doormen, they are courteous and helpful. I felt an amazing and comfortable experience here.
