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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

IndiaThe lift to the room, smelled bad, they did not clean the rooms until checkout, my AC was leaking but they didn't address it. The receptionist didn't speak English so it was hard to communicate.
The place is located right next to the harbour, you could take a walk in the evening and go the the water village. The rooms were decent.

United Arab EmiratesThe only thing I didn't like was the bathroom smell, which was probably coming from the pipe. I could not close the bathroom door because it smelled so bad when I opened it.
The property is conveniently located near the Kampong Village harbor and is surrounded by many cafes and restaurants. I stayed in a double room, which was suitable for a short visit and was quite clean.

AustraliaStrong smell of cigarettes all through the room
Really close to the waterfront and Omar Ali mosque which is why I chose the hotel. A basic room, but exactly what you would expect for that price. The air conditioning worked well, which is what you need in a country that hot.

United KingdomThe reception area and area near the lift were a bit shabby but for this price I was not expecting luxury . The room was very nice and the location and room more than made up for the slightly shabby exterior .
Very cheap , Lovely clean , well equipped room - including fridge, kettle , hairdryer and iron with ironing board. The location is very good , right on the waterfront and near to the mall and a few convenience stores . Easy walk to all city centre sights . Staff were helpful and pleasant .

This is a resthouse, not a hotel, so please do not expect the same level of amenities. It does offer a waterfront view.

IrelandOur TV would not work, we asked the staff for help with this and were told "the TVs do not work" so don't book this place for this reason! Our room and bathroom was also tiny but fine for a 1 or 2 night stay
Great location right in the centre of Brunei close to the Mosque and a short taxi ride away to the main indoor food markets. Air conditioning worked well

JapanThe bedroom is not so soft and wifi is not really good but co side ring the price it was acceptable for me. toilet gets super wet after shower since it’s right in front of shower head.
They’re wet many reviews complaining about insects but i saw noun. There wasn’t even a window. Shower was good cuz you can change temperature from one degree by tapping button so you can arrange it or perfect temperature. They also keep luggage after check out. They give you 1500ml bottled water.

United KingdomThis is a no frills establishment , the entrance , reception and corridor through to the lift is very basic and feels a little hostel like but the room was great.
Excellent location , right on the waterfront and in walking distance to most of the city sights .Also small supermarkets just outside the door and main shopping mall 3 mins walk away . The room was clean and well appointed with coffee-making facilities, fridge, , iron and ironing board , TV, and reasonable WiFi. Great view out onto the river and water village .

United StatesThis is definitely a low budget hotel. The lobby is tiny with one person working behind a little glass window. The walls of the hallway are covered in green Astroturf. The bathroom is very small but  the room is a good size. It is clean.
The air conditioning in the fan were very good.  The location is excellent – right in the heart of downtown and walking distance to major attractions. It is right across the river from the water village.
