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.).

SwitzerlandVery loud with people walking up the metallic stairs inside and many activities in the neighborhood, but at least in the Travel Hub it's meant to be quiet from 23:00.
Good Wi-fi and is still working also when there's a power cut in the rooms. Free drinking water cold and hot, kitchen available.

SingaporeThe room is small. Bed is quite high up. Not for people with knee problem or fear of heights. Hair found on bed sheets (different from mine). Wondering if they changed the sheets yet all. The sofa is old and stained. Door slamming for some nights by inconsiderate people. Live loud music at the Attic Bar into the night.

MalaysiaCleanliness, the toilet was dirty as if it has never been cleaned or scrubbed. The smells on the alleyways to our room, and dusty because non in-house guests are allowed to enter to the rooftop bar. Perhaps try to put a celotape on the alley which way thoe customers should be walking and which part of the floor they shoul not walked on with their shoes from outside. Ohgod. Cleanliness is very important to prevent infestation of rats. Especially the backyard is home of rats. Do something to avoid it from infesting in the hostel. The staff were like very relaxing. Im suspicious about if the room ever been cleaned, housekeeping not just about changing linens. Shower head wasnt functioning , everything seems broken . You just have to move around to find your ways of using them. Get them fix! Please. Please disallowed outsiders from the bar to use the bathroom for guests. Vomits, cigarettes, people just smoke on the alleyways outside our room, the dampness of the room make me feel sicks plus the cigarette smokes. Kitchen has no rules, people just used anything without strict monitoring about cleanliness of the area. Okay fine, if that is what you want to give then get your cleaner to do the cleaning. Irresponsible Guest sometimes can be ignorance too especially when there is no warning or rules. Parking was very hard. You have to pay to unauthorisd illegal scoundrel who leech from this illegal activity. It is not like they are looking after your car. Try to get few parking lots from DBKL to overcome this issue.
The location was very near to many attracions. Easy to commute everywhere since the nearest station was PASAR SENI LRT &MRT , walking distance.

SpainThe hostel have a bar on the roof (which it would be perfect if alcohol in Malaysia was cheap but it is not the case) and it gets really noisy on weekends until 2.00am. The entrance to the bar is through the hostel so it is always gonna be random people walking by and the worst thing, the bathrooms are the same for the bar and the hostel. So there is just two toilets on each floor that it’s not even enough on a Monday morning, imagina how long you need to wait on a Friday night… The bathroom were never clean, we ran out of toilet paper the first day I arrived and was replaced four days later. The rooms were clean though.
The rooms are really nice and huge, even had a sofa in each room which is really nice. the aircon and the Wifi works perfectly and there is a fan in the room too. Also, a lot of plugs near the bed and everywhere in the room which is really helpful. It’s kinda what you see in the picture. Location is fantastic, with thousands of restaurants, bars and shops near by and with petaling street market really close too. The city center is a bit far though.

MalaysiaA lot of things. Room did not look like the pictures at all. No windows or ventilation. Only window in the room was fully sealed and looking into the landing below. In the pictures it looks like open window that can see outside. ONLY ONE PLUG POINT. AND USED FOR FAN. If I switch off the fan, the room is very stuffy due to no ventilation so I literally cannot charge anything. Luckily I brought along powerbank.
Good location, very near to Pasar Seni LRT/MRT, Kwai Chai Hong lane/REX KL. Bed was comfortable. Good wifi. Bathrooms were OK and had hot water. Staff were nice especially the daytime guy.

NorwayThe facilties are old and worn down, there was mold in the shower. Our room had no window, it felt like a underground prison cell, there were cockroaches there as well. There were no toilet paper or soap in the bathrooms.
It is a great place to start exploring old town, and eat a lot of different types of food. We never had to wait for the bathroom. The value for money was alright. Since they had not registered our booking we got upgraded to a bigger room with AC, which was nice.

AustraliaBe aware that there is a bar on the rooftop - so on Friday/Saturday nights can get a bit noisy. You are staying in a hostel, so don't expect silence. The rooms can carry some noise. If you're a happy hostel traveller, you'll have a great time.
The check in process was easy and clear. Staff were enjoyable and very friendly. The beds were comfy, and the loft space was unique. The location was PERFECT, right in the heart of China Town, close to the botanic gardens. We travelled with our 2 year old and still fit in perfectly at this hostel. We couldn't have hoped for a better stay! WIFI is free and strong. My partner taught online using the wifi during our stay.

United KingdomThe only problem would be the shared bathroom, but it was clean and we were not bothered by this but I know some people would be. It was very clean just small but it did the job :)
It was clean and air conditioned with really lovely staff, we had a private room so we had our own space with a small seating area and table. It was exactly what we wanted and directly in China town which was a real bonus. Would book here again it was great.
