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...).

United KingdomNothing really.
For KK it is excellently placed right by all the markets and easy to get to the islands from the ferry near by. The rooms are VAST and very comfortable. But the main thing is the FOOD. It is insanely good. We stayed during Ramadan and the evening buffet is unlike anything I have ever seen. I just can’t even describe how good it is.

AustraliaThe room air conditioning was quite weak. We set the temperature at 19 but most of the time it felt like it was 25. It was comfortable at time but I would prefer to have a better air con system.
The staff were lovely friendly and super helpful. We’re bringing our luggage up. The daily clean and reset of our room is pleasing to see when you come back after a long day exploring the town. The location was convenient as well close to the beach in the seaside.

AustraliaLittle improvements will go a long way, e.g. notepad by the phone, better lighting in the washbasin area (couldn't see myself while shaving!), and no soap-dish! Also, the sliding panels are really old and creaky, falling off the track at times. These are not expensive improvements, but they will go a long way for long-stayers like us (2 to 4 weeks average).
Location, room size and comfort, and of course, excellent staff. Must mention Ka Yee the Client Experience Manager, she really looked after us throughout our stay.

RussiaThis is a good hotel chain, but it’s starting to show its age. Breakfast can be chaotic, with a bit of a rush and not always enough seating available. On busy mornings, some guests are seated in the bar, which isn’t ideal. Another downside is that many rooms have windows facing the interior of the hotel, leaving you with no sense of time — you can’t tell if it’s day or night. That said, everything else was great: the room was comfortable, the food was excellent, and the cleanliness was up to standard. Overall, a solid stay with just a few quirks to consider.

Singapore1) The TV was so old-fashioned. The TV reception was blurr. It is time to replace the TV with Internet TVs with easy access to YouTube which I watch everyday. 2) Clothes and towel hangers should be provided in the toilet and shower cubical. 3) The design ergonomics of the toilet is lacking. The sink is too high and too forward requiring users to lean forward. The rain shower should be installed nearer the wall to minimise water splashing at the door.
1) The room is big. 2) The interior design is traditional. 3) The open toilet concept. 4) USB ports are provided for phone charging. 5) The location is very good within walking distance to the seafood restaurants at the waterfront.

United KingdomThe furnishings were a bit dated and I thought it wa poor that a 5-star hotel shower was over bath with a curtain. Breakfast was chaotic. Very busy and the room layout led to lots of congestion. The only bar was the pool bar and it did not operate in the evening
Great location near to the seafood weekend dining. The pool was good and the pool bar attendant gave good service. The room was large and well- equipped.
