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...).

HungaryThe room was too small and no windows. But for this price it is okay.
It is ideal backpackers accomodation. Friendly and very helpful staff, low budget service. It included basic breakfast. And it is right in the center!

ItalyHowever, the toilet had flushing issues, and there were no separate male or female restrooms or individual shower facilities. Additionally, there were no designated changing areas, no toilet paper provided, and our room lacked a window.
The property is situated in the heart of Kuching, making everything easily accessible on foot. The street is lined with bars, restaurants, and even a supermarket just a short 5-minute walk away. The accommodations are simple but adequate, ideal for a short stay. There is a young man at the reception (I believe his name is Wang) who was extremely helpful, polite, and kind.

FinlandAs I had a room facing the street, traffic noice was little bit loud. Problem solved with earplugs ;)
Good location from 10 min walk from the waterfront area, many places to eat nearby. Nice self-made breakfast with tea/coffee, toast with different toppings, bananas, peanuts... I also liked a chance to leave my big backpack to storage after check-out.

United StatesRoom was very small with no windows (slightly misleading description saying the room offers a pool with a view, seeing as neither the room nor pool have a view). Bed was extremely uncomfortable (the worst we’ve had in our 6 week trip in Southeast Asia so far) - an old spring bed which creaked whenever we moved. We could feel the individual springs just by running our hands over the bed. So sleeping on it was extremely uncomfortable and we both had back pain after. Also, one small blanket is provided which can barely cover two people sleeping near the middle.
AC was strong and water pressure in the shower was good. Host was communicative and responsive via whatsapp (but don’t expect anyone to be at the front desk most of the time). Location is ok, next to a lot of nice restaurants, but a 20+ minute walk to the central location (nontrivial in the heat!)

BelgiumThis place needs a little bit of work to be cozy/attractive again. The rooftop is very dirty now, but it has a lot of potential. The pool was empty which was a bit disappointed for us. It can be much more than it is right now.
Wayne was very kind. He responded very quickly when there was a question/problem. A lot of toilets and showers! Perfect location, close to foodshops, waterfront, shops, ... Bed was also comfortable!
