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.).

CanadaGreat hostel in an excellent location! The hostel is less than 5 minutes from the heart of old town Melaka. Jon, the manager and his wife, are super friendly and helpful. Drinking water provided. The place next door sells delicious chilled coconuts. Lots of showers and toilets. The only catch is that they are all on the first level and the beds are on the second and third levels. Lots of space to dry clothes in the hot sun on the third level.

MalaysiaThe cleanliness could be slightly better especially for the washing areas and communal areas. :) Other than that for a good value and such strategic location, we were satisfied with what was provided.
I liked that the location was very strategic with a lot of places nearby to see and explore. The staff were pleasant and the style of the place made it feel like we were in olden day Malacca which was awesome!

AustraliaI don't think it's like a normal backpackers bcos most of the other European guests looked older .. Also because I was the only dark skinned guest and I know Malaysia has a definite colour hierarchy I felt I got a couple of less than friendly stares from a couple of the local Asian guests . I didn't get a lot of friendly vibes from the female receptionist when I checked in but even though I felt some of the interactions with the male owner during the initial part of my stay seemed abrupt ( perhaps bcos he was busy with Chinese new year preparations ) he became much more friendlier and helpful towards the end of my stay
It was really so cheap considering it's such a good location . I found the beds cute.. the owner invited me to the lion dance for Chinese New year which was nice to experience . The owner.did provide a free towel which I appreciated (.but I felt there was an awkward interaction when.i returned it on the first day bcos it was stained and ,he didn't take the towel but was curt and gestured towards the back of the guesthouse and asked me to put it away on my own ,so I went and hunted around till I found a pile of disused towels and threw it there . But he did provide me with a fresh towel that night )

SingaporeCommon toilets. I prefer to have personal bath room due hygiene reasons. There were mosquito in the room and my son was bitten.
Beautiful traditional pernakan house. Ambient surrounding. Excellent location as close proximity to Jonkor street. Value for money. Easy accesible. If you are a vegetarian, you can get vegetarian food nearby within walking distance. Eg, vegetarian mee hoon from kappan house restaurant which is only a few shops away. There is also cake cafe (opposite the voyage home & guesthouse ) to chill out . Staff are very friendly and helpful. Room is clean and spacious.

the Location is perfect, you have the most beautiful area around you! i slept in the dorm and I love the way how it is, you have a lot of private there, but they also have nice places where you can chill together, hangout, play billiards, read books, play some games. And they have free coffee and tea all day 😎 the stuff is also very friendly!

MalaysiaPrivacy, i dont like how they placed the bed quite close to each other, together in a room. Tho you have like a some sort of border in between. But other people could still see your stuffs and when you wanna change. Especially when you’re asleep. No hotwater when i shower.
