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.).

SingaporeThe hotel is not very far from the main street. But the road leading to the hotel is an upslope. I was there in summer, and each walkup is a challenge. For the local tourists and those tourists who rented a bike, this is not an issue.
Overall very happy with my stay. The bathroom has a slight smell from the sanitary system. I guess most old buildings tend to have this problem.. Not a big issue, closing the bathroom door helps..Nice banana pancake breakfast made by the lady. I stayed on the 6th floor (highest). Great place to dry my laundry.

United KingdomRegrettably, there was a considerable amount of noise in the hotel caused by local tourists, which I understand is an unavoidable circumstance. Unfortunately, the noise significantly disrupted our sleep in the morning, particularly after our journey from Ninh Binh.
I made a last-minute reservation at this establishment and was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable price. The location was ideal, situated away from the bustling downtown area of Cat Ba, yet still within a convenient walking distance of approximately five minutes downhill. Additionally, it was just a few minutes away from the three main beaches in Cat Ba. Another advantage of the location was that our tour operators always picked us up directly from the hotel. Although we did not encounter many staff members during our stay, those we did interact with were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. In particular, the young lady at the reception desk stood out with her pleasant demeanor and eagerness to assist us in any way she could. The room we stayed in was of a decent size and did not have a window, which did not bother us at all.

United KingdomTai and his family were very friendly and helpful with booking a boat tour of Lan Ha bay. They even got us a quote for a private tour, but in the end we opted for the general tour which was still good, and the group was only around 25 people. The room was cleaned every day and had a fridge and television, and a good view of the mountains. Very reasonably priced (breakfast was unexpectedly included), and located far enough from the waterfront to be quiet, but only a 5 minute walk away. Electric vehicles are easy to flag down if you're going further. One of our best stays in Vietnam.

VietnamInternet on fifth floor not as strong as on lower floors.
The hotel was really good and just a few minutes walk from the sea front. It was extremely quiet and beds were comfortable. We were in the fifth floor and the view was right onto the cliffs and looked like a green wall. Very nice and private. Room as a good size fridge, kettle, good Aircon which also doubles as a heater which we needed as it was quite cold during our visit. There was a slight musty smell initially in the room (.I guess that was due to a very wet winter but subsided very quickly once we used the Aircon/heater for a bit. There were two large beds in the room. One of the biggest room we have stayed in during our 4 weeks in Vietnam. Breakfast is simple but tasty. The host is a great guy who studied in Europe and speaks great English and is really helpful if there is any issues.
