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.).

Hong KongThere is some unpleasant smell in the bathroom. There is also no table for me to put my stuff inside my room.
The location is very good, just located outside the south gate of Itchan Qala. The environment and facilities are clean. They serve good breakfast with a fast manner. The staff can speak English and she was very nice to arrange transportation for me in and out of the city.

The guest house is located just next to the south gate of the walled old city and it is within walking distance of Kiva Railway Station. There are some small stores where you can buy fruits and vegetables inside and outside the old city. The friendly and attentive staff speaks good English, and breakfast was excellent. It was an amazing stay. An Italian traveler I met in Samarkand recommended this guest house, and I also highly recommend this hostel.

AustraliaThere was an occasion where the power was lost for about 30 minutes, which meant that there was no water or internet. This occurred without the knowledge of our hosts, who once informed, contacted the power company and the power was soon back on.
Our hosts were very helpful with us feeling like part of an extended family with them and most of the other people, who we shared the guest house with. From our airport pick-up, which was arranged through the guest house through to a personalised tour on our way back to the airport, by Maftoola, we really enjoyed all that the guest house had to offer. This includes the proximity of the guest house to the old city, the included breakfast, restaurant recommendations and the home made biscuits.

ItalyNo privacy curtains or lockers in the dorm rooms. Sometimes there are few problems with the electricity but this is a problem in Khiva as a whole (owners do their best to keep the inconvenience to a minimum) Water pump was a bit loud
Great location next to the South Gate, one minute walk to the old town but fortunately just outside the noisy touristy area, close to all major attractions and shops. The owners are super friendly, welcoming, helpful and speak good English. Shared kitchen is well equipped, good Wi-Fi. Clean rooms, toilets and showers.

BrazilWe loved our stay here! The owners are super sweet and welcoming, I really felt at home. The guesthouse is a great option for solo travelers or couples. It's close to the old town area but also not in the main touristic section, which gives a great feel for the life of the locals. I would definitely come back here if ever visiting Khiva again.

United StatesIt would be nice to have secure storage in the shared room, like lockers or drawers. The water pump was a bit loud in the main living room and entranceway, but it wasn't a bother in the actual bedrooms. These are minor issues though and do not impact the overall quality of the stay.
Thank you to Miya, Timur, and of course little Yassine for the amazing stay! This place has a great location Right next to the south gate of the old city and it is clean and comfortable. The host family is amazing and gave me lots of tips, advice and recommendations in khiva, both the old and new cities, and they speak perfect English and Russian. You can also pay in many different currencies including dollars euros and rubles. They even give you free individual shampoo and soap even in the shared room, which is unusual but nice. I'll definitely stay here next time I come to khiva!

CanadaThere was a bit of a smell in the bathroom in the morning, but no big deal.
The guesthouse is run by a very friendly family and has a large courtyard overlooking the walls of Khiva. I enjoyed being just outside the old city, as it allowed us to experience a bit of the city beyond all the tour groups lol. Staff speaks English and room is very comfortable.

Hong KongYou need to wait for a while for the hot water. Apart from that, I have nothing to complain.
Absolutely amazing. The hostel owner and Mia were heart-warming. They helped me with everything such as suggestions for restaurants and tips around Khiva City. I was really enjoying the time in the dining hall and chat with people. Breakfast was awesome and very filling as well. They also arranged a tour for travellers at a very affordable price. Definitely makes my days in Khiva and I would suggest it to everyone who visits Khiva.
