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.).

South AfricaI liked everything...even the staff conversation and laughs that you can hear from your bedroom. Maybe in the evening after 9 30 pm,, they should respect a ..loud voice curfew.
the staff is great, the owner (a lady) and Joye, the manager, who has travelled around the world, speaks an excellent English and is the most helpful and friendly guy I have met in Chinq

ItalyJoye and his co-workers/volounteers are the nicest and most helpful people you will ever meet along your trip. They helped me booking trains, guesthouses, bus, change currency , rent bike, they even delivered my suitcase to an other town! They also arrange awesome tours to the main attractions around. The rooms are big and clean. Breakfast is awesome. Do yourself a favour and spend few nights at Xilu Xiaoxie Inn.

ItalyI enjoyed everything, I've nothing to complain.
First of all, the owner was one of the most friendly we met and one of the few capable to speak in english during this vacation. That was helpful lot, in particular he was fundamental for me to purchase some medicine and save the rest of the vacation. The staff was also very helpuf to welcome us and bring our luggages from the gate to the hotel and other way round. We had a room upgrade and we really enjoyed the overall comfort. This place is really a gem.

SingaporeI was prepared pay for 6 nights at the inn while I took an overnight trip somewhere else. I was surprised to find my luggage and belongings all moved to another room while my original room was given to someone else when I returned. While I appreciated that they were trying to help me save money (they only charged me for 5 nights), I wish they had told me in advance that they were going to do that.
Everything could be planned and organised spontaneously and speedily by the inn, whether you wanted to go to the mountains, Lugu lake, horse riding, or hiking. The manager, Joye, is warm and welcoming, has excellent connections, and can organise day tours and overnight trips and drivers at an affordable price. Staff like Kyrie were also very kind and kept offering me food, tea, coffee, every time I stepped into the inn. The decor is lovely traditional Chinese with modern touches in the room. I also loved the two huskies:)

United KingdomThis place is a haven. Just off the bustling high street, it's a welcoming oasis. The rooms were exceptional, and great value, accompanied with conversation and advice. It's a perfect base for an exploration of the incredible mountains nearby. We arrived, were served great tea, and by the end of our gentle introduction had our bus tickets to the Tiger Leaping Gorge all sorted, and a set of brilliant recommendations for dinner. An amazing place to stay.

SingaporeJoye and his team are amazing. They are always ready to offer you advices and ideas about your stay in Lijiang. They help to plan your trip to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Lugu Lake etc., and offer to safeguard luggage while you are away for those adventures. Love all the small chats each day when they will check in with your day and find out how they can help us improve our experiences in Lijiang.

Besides it’s great old town location, and spacious rooms with luxurious beds, it’s the staff at Xilu Xiaoxie that are the most fantastic. From helping us navigate the maze-like streets of Lijiang, to recommending great restaurants, to helping with other travel issues, Joye and his team went the extra mile. We left with great memories and gratitude for the time we spent there!

United KingdomThat I couldn't stay more.
Couldn't recommend more this inn, the place is great, confortable, clean and recently refurbished, but what makes the difference is the staff. The hospitality and help they offer makes them invaluable. They came and picked us up because we got lost, helped us organise day trips and excursions, guided us to restaurants and ATMs. Any help you need they'll provide and their English is impeccable, definitely if you go to Lijiang, book at Xilu Xiaoxie.

United StatesBest stay in my entire 2-month China trip that I had to extend another night. The guesthouse is run by the most amazing team lead by Joey and his excellent team of Kyrie and many others including. volunteers. It felt like family! The location is right in the heart of the old town closer to the south gate. Updated units with a relaxing courtyard and beautiful bug furry dogs! The entire staff took care of the trio from picking up, planning itinerary (in Lijiang and beyond), even laundry! If I ever come back I want to stay with this fantastic team! Don’t think twice before booking.

SingaporeA minor point is that the room we have is a bit cramped.
Being inside the old town makes it accessible to food and shops. The staff (Joye, Kyrie) are chatty and super helpful with tips and advice on what to do and eat. They both can communicate well in English. I love the ability to do laundry as they have washer and dryer. The place is inaccessible by car but the staff happily helps us with our luggage.
