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.).

GermanyThere are just shower curtains in front of toilets and showers, which sometimes blow open in the wind. Also in the room is not much privacy with beds standing very close and no curtains. Moreover, the beds are not the best since you feel every single movement of the person above or below you. It is very warm at night because there is only one aircon for the whole big room. The additional fan doesn’t help too much.
Just 5 mins walk to the beach and the main road but super quiet. Really cool style and decorations. Nice outside area. Hosts was always easy to reach on whatsapp.

AustraliaThe beds where not comfy and really squeaky. Also the aircon wasn't strong enough. It Would be good to fix the curtains for the bathroom and shower (maybe with velcro)
Nadia, the host, was really, really nice and helpful. She is a great host. The atmosphere at this hostel is also great, Super chilled. It feels like a school Trip as there is only one room. I would definitly recommend! It was really clean and had a Nice Common area.

United KingdomIf I'm being really picky, the stairs to the dorm can be slippy when it's rained and the shower curtains sometimes blow open when it's windy. These were not major issues though and Nadia has said she is implementing a solution for the stairs :)
Nadia is so friendly and helpful. She creates such a warm atmosphere in the hostel, it feels like a family away from home. She ensures that everyone is invited to local events so that you can have a proper Malaysian experience and organises great tours. The hostel is super clean even though lots of friendly cats hang around here (which I loved being able to pet them) and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into the small details of the running of the hostel. I didn't rent a scooter but it's possible to do so here. It's really close to lots of great restaurants, bars and attractions. I loved staying here and 100% recommend it :)

GermanyMaybe a little stove for people who like to cook themselves :)
I spent 6 nights at the hostel. Nadia is such a lovely person and host, she took us girls out on different activities such as a wedding, we celebrated Independence Day, went to the beach and had dinner and barbecue. The vibe at the hostel was very chill and homely. There was some breakfast (toast&jam) but also a fridge for own food. You could use the yoga mats as you liked. I look forward some hammocks to swing in if I come back ;)

RomaniaStaying at Bunga Hostel is an experience in itself. As you might feel no need to leave from there, although the beach is so near :). The hosts, Nadia & Freddie are amazing, very attentive and passionate about their work and the island. What you can find here... ...a place that is in the middle of everything, but still quiet ...squicky clean toilets & comfortable beds ...local & inspiring breakfast 😀 ...the feeling of hanging out with your besties ...amazing sunrises & (no kidding) seeing the moon rainbow ...chance of discovering secret places in Langkawi ...and of course some Malay ghost stories, then this is THE PLACE!

United StatesAmazing stay. This is the only female hostel in Langkawi that is owned and runned by a woman, the lovely Nadia! I was able to do early check in and late checkout. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean. Much cheaper to book things (mangrove, motorbikes, watersports, etc) through Nadiya than the hawkers on the beach. She helped us find amazing beaches, waterfalls, etc. The view from the room was beautiful, it is a guesthouse in nature truly! It has a very homey/nature-like feel. The cats are so cute too! This is a new place and Nadia has plans to add more details to it too. The showers have adjustable temperature so you can put it as you like. There is free drinking water and a little kitchen, snacks for breakfast, etc. Very centrally located to the beach, a very short walk to everything. I can't wait to return!
