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.).

ItalyThe host was super nice, he brought us food every morning and we did not even asked for anything. Super nice. Also he suggested his friend and neighbour as a driver on the last day. That's how we easily managed to arrive to the airport at 3 am.

A homey feel as it is located among the kampung houses. A few minutes walk to the riverside to take a boat across to the famous Kuching waterfront.

TaiwanThe boat that crosses the river to get to the waterfront is very convenient and fun. However you need to grab a grab taxi when the boat crossing closes after 6pm. Taxi was 12 rm.
Our host was always trying to make our stay enjoyable. A fridge and washing machine at our disposal. Nice area outside our room for morning coffee and evening beer. Quiet and mellow neighborhood.

GermanyHave to get back by 6pm to catch the last ferry across the river, else it's a LONG taxi ride home. Some of the rooms have thin walls so you hear traffic noise from the street and people watching YouTube in the room next door.
Wonderful host, happy to suggest places to go and how to get there. Great, clean rooms with air conditioning. Washing machine and cooking area is available. Location is kind of cool, a bit outside the city. Neighborhood is full of wonderful people.

NetherlandsThe location is not ideal, but it did not bother us a lot. You can take the ferry to the other side of the river to the city, but it's a bit inconvenient. There's no places to eat nearby.

GermanyThis is more a tip for other travellers than really a negative thing: Calling a grab to the airport in the early morning took some time, since a driver had to get there first from the other side of the river and there was no other driver available close to us. So make sure to add some buffer time.
Matnor was very kind and helpful and provided us with everything we needed for our stay in Kuching, from bicycles to using the washing machine. In the mornings he would hang some snacks on our door, which were delicious! The room is quite small (we could have chosen a larger one but we were fine with a small one) but clean and there is a nice patio outside which comes with a place to cook your own meals. The location on the other side of the river didn’t bother us at all, Matnor’s tip about using the small ferry for RM1 per person proved to be very helpful and thus you can get to the city in 5-10min.

MalaysiaClose to mosque so could be a bit noisy if you are a light sleeper (might need to bring earplugs).
The rooms were clean and comfortable. Walking distance to the jetty to cross the river or 15 mins by car. Matnor, the owner, was so friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout the stay, he really made us feel at home! Having the use of a washing machine was also very much appreciated.
