Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SingaporeSound insulation. Especially when the guest above walk, the ceiling will creak. Facility is abit old, the shower door couldnt close fully, there is a gap in the seal which causes water to splash out even though the shower door is close. Water temperature is not consistent.
Location was great. Staff was super welcoming and warming. Spotted 2 cats in the area to my wife delight

AustraliaThe rustic look and feel of ancient Chinese house with a courtyard. Nice renovation with modern convenience that retained the ancient look. Very friendly and accommodation and staff, plus a room dedicated to display Chinese culture - where one can learn calligraphy and guqin (a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument).

SingaporeThe place is in the heart of the old town, in a small alley where it’s quiet and there’s no traffic or street stalls to bother you. The room was really beautiful, in traditional Chinese style, and had everything we needed — including a bathtub and heated floor. The staff was very nice. We had a bit of trouble asking for a taxi because only one woman spoke good English.

SingaporeOld town does not allowed vehicles in, a fair bit of walking to the main street to get public transport e.g. taxi.
Staff was friendly, extremely helpful and patient. Location in the middle of old town, lots of restaurants, shops, etc. We loved living in an historical preserved courtyard house. Breakfast was ok, local warm cooked food as well as bread. Local coffee was very good.

SingaporeOur stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The property combines a beautiful traditional vibe with top-notch modern facilities, creating a unique and luxurious experience. We were thrilled to be upgraded to a spacious suite featuring a massive bathroom with a relaxing bathtub, a smart toilet, and cozy heated floors—perfect for the chilly November weather. The breakfast was another highlight, with a stunning dining area and a wide variety of delicious options to start the day. Located in the heart of Dali Ancient City, the hotel is close to all the vibrant attractions yet surprisingly peaceful at night, ensuring a restful stay. This hotel exceeded all our expectations, offering the perfect balance of tradition, comfort, and convenience. Highly recommended!

United StatesLocation is excellent as it is in the center of the Old Town. The hotel is quiet and full of history inside over 200 years old. Staff are very helpful. They can pick up your luggage with trolley at the closest entrance of the Old Town since cars are prohibited to drive in the town. Breakfast are delicious especially the rice noodles soup. By staying there, I feel like I am going back to 200 years ago.

United KingdomThe room was on the smaller side of others we experienced in Yunnan. The corridor to the hotel was inundated with photographers and their subjects so we regularly had to wait to come in or out (or face the wrath of the photographers!). Not the hotel's fault but a little inconvenient. That said, it also backs up the great location!
Great location, really near to the best streets in Dali. Very traditional appearance (great for photos!) and friendly staff (although English not spoken at all times), good breakfast room, and communal sitting areas (inside and out).

United StatesThe wood windows can’t be tightly shut, so bring mosquito repellant. (Host provides electronic diffusers and a bed canopy.)
The hosts were very friendly and helpful and accommodated our dietary requests. The property was situated on a quiet alley, right in the heart of the ancient city of Dali. The rooms were clean and comfortable and modern, while retaining the traditional style. Outdoor courtyard with a fish pond was beautiful.

United StatesAlthough the location is quiet, the sound-proofing of the rooms is not perfect and we were woken up in the morning (6-7 AM) by loud noises from other people in the area sometimes. If you're a light sleeper and want to sleep in, ear-plugs would be a good idea.
The historic courtyard was beautiful and in a relatively quiet spot, and the room was quite comfortable with very modern restroom facilities. The owner was also very hospitable, helping us carry luggage up the stairs and also connected us to a driver to get to our next hotel in Lijiang. Breakfast was tasty and had quite a few options available, we particularly liked the rice noodles.

SingaporeThe bathroom. Well, the set-up + fitting is model and functional but wall+door in between the room and bathroom are transparent glasses. Not only this property, but a few properties in Yunan have bathrooms with such interior design that my sister and myself :( . It is not the interior design, other than that it is 5 5-star bathroom.
The Location is great because it is within the heart of the old town but bear in mind that car drop off is not possible, you need to walk quite a distance with your luggage should you have a big case like us. However, the property keeper assisted us in transporting our luggage upon our arrival around 10 pm. I wish to stay more days like 5 nights instead of 2 nights.
