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.).

This was my favorite city of the trip! The hotel staff spoke good English and were very welcoming. The hotel was located on the edge of one of the main lakes and was about a 20-minute walk from the attractions in the city.

SingaporeUnfortunately, there is currently no dinner option available there as there is no chef available for the next few months as I've been told.
The stuff was extremely friendly and my wife and I had a great time there. They also helped us to organized several last minute bookings and taxi for the yangshuo River tour which I highly recommend. Daily tea and a Chinese tea set in the room was amazing.

The staff helped us with sightseeing ideas and transportation arrangement before our arrival. Communications before our arrival and upon our stay have been good and smooth. Spacious and clean rooms. Breakfast is a mix of Chinese and International food. Laundry service is available with extra fees. We appreciated the help from the staff for dining options. The hotel also provides foreign currency exchange service with no extra fees.

United KingdomIt is a decent walk to the pedestrianised area which can be very crowded to navigate through.
The hotel was authentic and a delight to stay at. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The Latin is next to the lake and reasonably close to local attractions.

RussiaSome small things that couldn't ruin our stay: there is no fridge in the room, European sockets worked, but a plug doesn't hold well, no wardrobe (but there is a small hanger).
The best staff I have ever met: so nice and kind, so helpful and they speak English. Before we came, they provided very detailed information about excursions which they can organize. We booked a trip to the Rice Terrace and Li-river cruise to Yangsho (I can recommend both, it's very beautiful places!). We didn't have to worry about organisational details, we were told where, when and how we should go and we able to enjoy the trips. Another small but nice touch: during check-in, the air conditioning was turned on in our room, so once all the formalities were completed, the room was pleasantly cool - very pleasant after the afternoon hit. They also gave us a map of the city, showed us interesting places and recommended places to eat. The room itself was big and clean with a panoramic window where you can sit and enjoy tea using the provided Chinese tea-set. The hotel restaurant is located on the fifth floor and has an incredible view of the river and mountains. Also, outside of the room there is a terrace where you can air and dry clothes. The hotel is decorated in a traditional style, but at the same time it is equipped with all modern amenities and is very comfortable. Location is very good: close enough to walk to many different points of interest and food-street.

Romania-beautiful property, very well-maintained, with numerous amazing antiques and art-work throughout -large room, with big windows overlooking the lake and a great nook for enjoying a cup of tea; thorough cleaning and fresh towels daily -lovely staff who were always available for questions and to provide assistance and help. They also helped us organize trips to the rice terraces and the Li river cruise, as well as transport to and from the airport and everything went smoothly and we very much enjoyed both trips with no stress! -there is the option to get a massage - do it, great massage particularly if you enjoy a "harder" touch.

SpainAll good.
We are traveling on a budget so this hotel is more expensive than we should be paying ... But for us, it was worth every penny! The rooms and corridors, reception and breakfast room are full of works of art. It is spacious and the room looks out over trees to the park, and you walk out onto the lake and immediately come across the bridges, pagodas, etc. Good English (if that's what you want) and a buffet breakfast. A little bit of quality and luxury but with a touch of a boutique hotel rather than a mega hotel. And very close, just 7 mins, to the central Guilin station.

Beautiful rooms with comfortable seating/tea area. Bathroom really lovely too. Air con cold and very welcomed in the heat of Guilin. Cold drinks (and cold beer) available at reception, but its not far to find a convenience store selling everything. Plenty of joints to eat at nearby. Breakfast was a great mix of east and west, the coffee good and the view very nice. The nicest accom we have stayed at in China and Hong Kong for our budget.
