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...).

AustraliaBrilliant location; the house is full of character and delightful details. We stayed in the junior suite, which has heaps of room, beautiful light. And a great view up the laneway. The hosts were friendly and kind. They recommended a great Shanghainese restaurant for dinner one night. We also ate in the Italian restaurant attached to the hotel one night - wonderful food; complimentary Prosecco and limoncello; great atmosphere. Loved this place; would definitely stay again!

United KingdomSuper helpful people at Kevins. We had a spacious suite of very clean rooms with very comfy large bed, we loved it. This is a quirky b & b above a popular italian restaurant (with italian chef) down an alleyway in a very old authentic building. Thus breakfast was insalata tricolori with parma ham and croissants....perfect! It's very charming. Only stayed one night in transit to Japan but wish we could have been here longer. Great location in a nice area and great value for money. Thank you!

AustraliaThere was nothing to not like!
This felt like a home away from home! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We had a washing machine as well, which was so handy. The Italian restaurant downstairs has the best food and we were provided a delicious breakfast there every morning. It gets a bit noisy from the restaurant, but we didn't mind at all. We loved our stay at Kevin's Old House!

AustraliaWe liked the location in the middle of the French Concession. The room was spacious and beautiful. Our welcome was warm and breakfasts were delicious (first morning Chinese, second morning European). There's a great looking Italian restaurant on the ground floor (La Bella Napoli) which regretfully we didn't try. Recommended!

United KingdomKevin's Old House was a lovely little hotel with genuine character. Unfortunately, it was too early in our trip to take advantage of the Italian restaurant that was attached to the hotel, but it looked great, and the breakfast was an unexpected, but delicious mix of Italian and Asian. The location is a quiet alley off a busy street. There was a little background noise, but peaceful considering it's busy Shanghai location. The staff could not have been more helpful

United KingdomAlthough the breakfast was good it would have been nice to have had some information and choice about what we might be served.
The breakfast was very good. The Manager was very helpful. He and Bella Napoli provided Prosecco on several occasions, and we enjoyed a very good dinner at Bella Napoli next door. It was a good location for us near to where relative was living, but also a lovely neighbourhood in French Concession. A homely comfortable house rather than a featureless tower block hotel. We enjoyed the traditional nature of the furniture and decor with some antiques as well.

Kevin’s Old House is sort a traditional/vinatge/antique hotel in the center of Jing’an. If that’s your vibe; you’ll love it. It’s also co-located with Bella Napoli that makes amazing pizza. The room also had a laundry machine which makes life so much easier. Super helpful & friendly staff too. Will definitely stay again.

AustraliaThe location is very close to the city center, with convenient transportation and many shopping malls and restaurants around. The butler service is very warm, delicious breakfast is provided every morning, the cleaning work is spotless, and the room is tastefully decorated.

AustraliaIf you're noise sensitive, it's not the quietest place. It's located above a fairly busy restaurant. You should stay here if you're keen to feel a part of a dynamic life in this fantastic city.
Love this place. The staff are amazing. The location is perfect on Changle Road - perfect if you're interested in boutique shopping and high quality cocktails. The interior has a solid old-school vibe. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a dynamic stay in Shanghai. Also, great coffee just around the corner at Fineline Coffee.

United KingdomBreakfast was generous in size but I found smoked salmon with green salad and a very sweet croissant a slightly odd combination. I would have preferred a more local style breakfast but that’s just personal preference.
Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They made the stay very enjoyable. They even let us use another room for an early check in until ours was available. They had a highchair for our son and let us store our pram downstairs
