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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomOnly one of the staff spoke English, and so when he wasn't on duty it was a little difficult to communicate. We were travelling with a Chinese speaker, so it wasn't an issue for us, but something to keep in mind.
Excellent place to stay at the medium price point. Clean, comfortable rooms. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious and beautiful. Our room even had a really nice balcony.

SloveniaNo negative comments whatsoever.
Staying here was an absolute pleasure. Our host David was really a gem, responsive on wechat all the time, weeks before our arrival he helped us arrange a van with a driver to visit the rice terraces, Li river cruise, pick up in Yangshuo, a performance there, transfer to the airport, with equally friendly driver and an upscale van- all for a super affordable price and no upfront payment. All of the latter would have been incredibly difficult or expensive to arrange on our own. The 2 rooms our family stayed in were huge, clean, mosquito nets on the windows, with a bathtub on the balcony, breakfast options are wide enough for just about anyone and you can easily walk to the Elephant trunk hill and other major sights in the centre. A taxi back will cost you just 1.50 EUR or so. Can't recommend it enough.

ItalyNothing negative to remark.
This is a small and tiny hotel in the center of Guilin. Not very easy to reach it by car (it is at the end of a small road), but our room was extremely clean , wide and with comfortable beds an in a quiet environment (some trees and water outside our room). Good breakfast. Riverside hotel is placed in Guilin city center, and the price vs offer is really affordable.

United StatesIt wasn’t quite as near the center of town as I generally like but when I saw the places that were more in the center I was glad I had opted to be in a place where the people were so helpful.
The owner was very helpful with setting up the things we wanted to do in Guilin and environs.

CanadaWe loved everything about this hotel!
I’m so glad we found this hotel in Guilin after a long day on the train from Beijing. The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, and they made all our arrangements for tickets on the boat to Yangshuo and a driver for a much cheaper price than anywhere else I looked! The room was really lovely, great amenities and spotlessly clean and spacious. The hotel is on a he river (? Canal?) so the view from our window was lovely as well as a great place to wander around. We ordered breakfast which was delicious - I highly recommend this hotel!!

United StatesI don't mind a stiffer bed, but others might not be as used to them so be aware that your bed might be firmer than you're used to. Also, some of the electronics and outlets in my room weren't working properly, but those didn't really hinder how much I enjoyed my stay in Guilin at all.
The property is in a very convenient location in the middle of Guilin only a short walk away from the central square, Elephant Trunk mountain, the main train station, and a neighborhood alley with tons of great local food and breakfast options. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and had a relaxing natural wood vibe. The staff were also very helpful and personable, providing a full set of recommendations on what to do and where to go during our stay in Guilin. They also helped us coordinate a drive from the west railway station. I also had a great conversation with who I think was the owner about tea on the morning we left. There's also a rooftop terrace that became my favorite spot to welcome in the morning and close out the evening!

South KoreaNothing. Book this hotel!
Fantastic customer service and the staff could not have been more helpful. We were given a full explanation of the local ‘must see’ areas, and we opted for a two day tour package which we feel was fantastic value. This was private with a personal driver who spoke brilliant English. The driver, Robert, was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about each place we visited. We had the option to customise the tour to suit our own taste. We had a wonderful experience of Guilin and Yangshuo. Aside from the great tour, every staff member was very accommodating and helped us with tasks such as laundry and food delivery. They even recommended some fantastic local restaurants, a roof top bar and a coffee shop. We cannot complain about anything. Thank you for a spectacular stay!!!
